She says she wants a divorce. She is my Wife. By law, by contract, and by the blood I've spilled to keep her breathing.

Everly Coleman starts freshman year with three very simple goals: Pass psychology. Make friends. Don't lose her mind sharing a dorm with a random guy. Then Jackson Bennett walks in. Jackson's annoyingly good at football, fully aware of it too, and somehow treats getting on Everly's nerves like it's a competitive sport. He steals her snacks, teases her constantly, and keeps acting like barging into her life is completely normal. Which would already be bad enough on its own. Unfortunately, Everly's older brother Logan absolutely hates him. Now Everly's dealing with football practices, dorm room arguments over popcorn, late-night conversations that are becoming a little too personal, and an entire football team way too invested in her love life. It's fine. Probably.

Dark Romance! I was betrothed to a man the world feared. Victor Volkov, the Pakhan of the Russian Bratva. A man carved from control and violence, who ruled with silence and destroyed without hesitation. This marriage was never meant to be love. It was an alliance. Power bound in blood and signatures. And I was the price. Men like him don't love. They take. They cage. They own. From the moment I stepped into his world, I knew one thing: I would never be free again. Because Victor doesn't let go of what belongs to him. But what he doesn't know... is that I didn't walk into his life as a victim. I came with a mind sharp enough to study the monster who thinks he's untouchable. He watches me like I'm something fragile. Something to break. Something to keep locked away from the world. And sometimes... I let him think that. But every glance I steal, every word I choose, every silence I hold... I'm learning him. Unraveling him. And the more I do... the more dangerous he becomes. Because Victor Volkov is starting to change. His control is slipping in ways no one else can see. His patience is wearing thin. And his obsession with me... is turning into something darker. Something possessive. Something that borders on madness. He doesn't just want me. He wants to own me. Body. Mind. Soul. And the terrifying part? A part of me... doesn't want to escape. Because the deeper I fall into his world of power, sin, and control. The more I realize... I was never meant to survive him. I was meant to become his.

Quiet, reserved, and more comfortable with a book than in the chaotic swirl of party life, she's never been the type to take risks-until she meets Jesci Krookes. Jesci is everything Leila isn't: bold, brooding, and irresistibly dangerous. With his dark past, tattoos, and love for fast motorbikes and cars, he's the kind of guy who should set off alarm bells.
