Zahara Adebayo had spent her whole life living in Africa, but after hearing the news of a dangerous rainstorm heading her way, her parents have no other choice but to send her to live with a family friend all the way in Oakland California. From meeting the Mickelson's years ago when she was five, Zahara quickly finds out that all six children have indeed grown up. From feeling severally homesick, and not knowing if she truly belongs, Zahara spends the entire summer with the Mickelson's, hanging around, going to the beach, and living a California lifestyle. Yet, the last thing she'd ever imagine herself doing is falling for one of the Mickelson boys. Never imagining herself falling for one of the Mickelson boys, Zahara surely didn't expect it to be Oaklands known boy every girl was in love with. Yet to her surprise, he was even crazier for her than she ever thought.

There are unwritten rules. But you know what they say, rules are meant to be broken.

After losing her parents at the age of twelve, Thandi spent years running-from orphan homes, street predators, and the crushing weight of poverty. Through it all, her big sister was her shield. Her hope. Her last thread of innocence in a world determined to strip it away. But when violence rips her sister from her life, Thandi's fragile world crumbles. Alone and helpless, she is sold into the hands of the De Luca family-the most feared mafia dynasty in the world. In the dark halls of power, cruelty, and desire, Thandi's stolen innocence echoes in every shadow. And survival may cost her the last pieces of the girl she used to be.

Before he was the White Wolf, Geralt of Rivia crossed paths with a woman no bard ever dared to name - the first goddess, life‑bearer, and the planet's oldest force. One night with her shatters everything he believes about magic, destiny, and himself. When she vanishes through a portal and visions of their unborn child haunt him at dawn, Geralt sets out to uncover the truth... and learns that some fates begin long before a Witcher ever draws his first blade.

"You don't get to choose freedom after I've chosen you." Love was never part of the plan. Neither was consent. For Mikolaj Kuznetsov, control is currency. Power is inherited, enforced, and protected at all costs. What he takes, he keeps. What belongs to him does not leave. Malayia was never meant to be seen only contained. Taken from her life and locked inside an estate built on silence and money, she becomes a possession disguised as a privilege. Dressed, fed, watched. Paraded through luxury that feels more like a cage than comfort. Everyone assumes she'll break quietly. They're wrong. Malayia doesn't submit easily. She doesn't soften on command. Every smile is forced. Every moment of calm is borrowed. And the more Mikolaj tries to mold her into something obedient, the more she reminds him that obedience was never promised. What begins as control curdles into fixation. What should have stayed transactional becomes personal. Because Malayia is not fragile. She is not grateful. And she is not blind to the blood on his hands. In a world ruled by men who mistake ownership for devotion, the line between protection and possession blurs beyond recognition. And when power, violence, and desire collide, survival isn't about escape anymore. It's about who bends first. And who burns everything down trying not to.
