"He was supposed to be my enemy... not my fated mate. Damn it." Centuries of war have left only scars. Now a fragile peace forces them face-to-face: One vampire. One wolf. Two enemies bound by blood and fate. Lucien Duskborne is everything a vampire prince should not be...dangerously charming, scandalously reckless, and far too clever for anyone's safety. Sent as a political envoy to the werewolf highlands, he carries silver fangs, sharper lies, and orders that could ignite war all over again. But then there's Rhydian Ashborne. The wolf-heir with golden eyes and a smile that hides claws. A true alpha with a scar that burns whenever Lucien is near. Courteous, disciplined, the perfect prince... until his temper cracks and the beast inside him snarls for blood. What begins as a battle of wit and willpower soon spirals into something darker. A bond that should not exist. A prophecy buried in ash. A hunger neither of them can control. Because when a vampire seduces his enemy... And a wolf finds his fated mate... Love isn't the only thing at stake. Kingdoms will fall. Blood will spill. And fate will make monsters of them both. ---- Core Genre: Fantasy Romance + Boys' Love (BL) / LGBTQ+ Romance Subgenres: Dark Fantasy + Enemies to Lovers + Fated Mates + Supernatural + Action / Adventure Flavor Tags: Political Intrigue + Slow Burn + Forbidden Romance + Dark BL

Penelope Blake is a classically trained guitarist with a spotless resume and zero interest in becoming a rockstar. But when she's offered an obscene paycheck to join the world's biggest pop punk band as their new rhythm guitarist, she says yes-thinking it's just a temporary gig. Ashes After Midnight: global legends, inked disasters, and every alt girl's dirtiest dream. They didn't want a new bandmate. They definitely didn't want her-polished, pretty, and painfully out of place. But now she's in their world. And they can't stop watching her. Not when she plays. Not when she moans. Not when she starts to unravel. The frontman taunts her like foreplay. The drummer dares her to misbehave. The bassist never speaks-but his stare burns. And the guitarist? He touches her like she's the only song he still believes in. But this isn't just music. This band made a deal with something dark-something that's coming back to collect. And Penelope might be the only thing standing between them and damnation. Enemies. Lovers. Monsters. Dark Romance. Welcome to the tour from hell.

Of course, the last thing Barmond wants is to be noticed by him. And, of course, because of his rotten luck, this is exactly what happens. Barmond will soon learn that to catch Hugo's attention in quite an intense experience... just not in the way he thought it would be.

Book One in the Stag Belt Series Survival demands submission. Instinct demands more. Revina thought landing her first field mission days after graduation was a dream come true-until she learned the catch. She's been sent to the untamed planet of Veythra, a place of dangerous nomadic clans and uncharted lands. The reason she was chosen? Rhyos. Her best friend. Her protector.

The males are on edge. And Rhyos-the one person she's always trusted-is changing. His instincts are awakening, his control slipping. Worse, the price of protection among the clans is her participation in their sacred rite. His claim is the only thing standing between her and the others. Because the warriors see her as a prize. A foreign beauty. A fertile offering. And if Rhyos doesn't stake his claim? They will.

Sunday has the ability to manipulate the Threads of Fate, giving her access to power and possibilities that most witches can only dream of... and she doesn't care at all. In fact, she's determined to use her magic as little as possible, and she's much more concerned with finding her soul mate than manipulating Threads. All witches are born with a soul mate, but at 30 years old, Sunday has started to lose hope of finding hers. When Calen Spade shows up to her apothecary with a Witch's Mark matching hers, Sunday is beyond thrilled- at least until several attempts on her life follow his arrival, and Sunday quickly finds herself in the crossfire of a brewing magical war.

Dante Greenbern, a Sylvan prince assigned to guard her from harm, has his own ideas about Sunday's magic, Calen's intentions, and the future of the modern magical community as a whole.

Delaney James was wearing Chanel the night her husband told her he didn't love her anymore. In an instant, her picture-perfect Manhattan life-complete with a brownstone on the Upper East Side, a blossoming career as a fashion journalist, and a devastatingly handsome, high-powered husband-shattered like glass under a stiletto heel. Heartbroken and blindsided, she does the only thing that makes sense: packs her bags and heads south to the small North Carolina town she swore she'd never return to. It's just temporary, she tells herself-a quiet place to lick her wounds and plan her next move. But South Grove hasn't forgotten her. The porch swings, the sleepy afternoons, the scent of honeysuckle on the breeze-it all comes rushing back. She reconnects with old friends, finds solace in morning coffee runs and barefoot walks along the beach where she once dreamed of escaping. And then there's Greyson McKinnie. The boy who broke her heart is now a man who carries his own scars. Their reunion is anything but smooth. Tense, electric, and full of history, their connection flares to life the moment they cross paths again. And this time, walking away might not be so easy. Now, torn between the career she built and the love she thought she'd lost, Delaney must choose: is the life she always wanted worth the price of the one her heart is just beginning to remember?
