In a world where werewolves rule and humans are relegated to the bottom of society, Rose, a 19-year-old human from District Twelve, receives a rare travel permit to the major city, where the powerful Alpha wolves reign.

Pearl Bamford has been gloriously single ever since divorcing her cheating ex. She's built an empire of fun, freedom, cheeky flirting, and strictly uncommitted hookups. As for romance? She left that behind with the wedding china and the monogrammed towels. Then her mother gets remarried and just her luck, Pearl acquires a brand-new stepbrother named Finn Cole. He's tall, annoyingly handsome, suspiciously charming, and the sort of man who makes women visibly swoon while weaker men suddenly become profoundly intimidated, as if standing beside him requires emotional fortitude and a functioning ego. Pearl refuses to be impressed. She has sworn off anything involving attachment and plans to keep her heart under lock, key, and reinforced sarcasm. But Finn has that slow mischievous grin, unbothered confidence, and infuriating patience. He's determined to see past her cool exterior, and Pearl is determined to remain an uncrackable delight. Can Finn infiltrate a heart she insists is permanently frostbitten, or will he learn the hard way that charming a Bamford is as difficult as convincing a British aristocrat to switch from Earl Grey to instant coffee? The universe has plans for Pearl. Whether she approves or not.

Ten years ago, Iris Desmond was pushed out of his life--by the very people who claimed to love him the most. She was the wrong girl. The outsider. And when threats turned into ultimatums, she made the impossible choice to leave the only boy she ever loved. Levi Astor. Now, a decade later, he's standing in front of her again--wealthier, sharper, harder--and demanding answers she was forced to bury. Levi Astor built a life that finally makes sense. He has the business, the legacy, and a partner who fits into the Astor empire. The woman isn't just perfect in his world--but in his family's world as well. Celestine by his side is everything he thought he needed. But when the past resurfaces, Levi is forced to confront the price of silence. Forced to realize that he might have made mistakes. And now, he isn't sure if they're his to mend. Celestine Wentworth was told to love him--and somehow, it was effortless. She checks all the boxes for the Astor family. But even perfect boxes have edges. And when the ghost of Levi's first love threatens to unravel everything they've built, she can't help but wonder: she is the right choice for his family. The right choice for his business--the safer choice for his reputation. But still only one of the choices. So is she the right one for his heart?

Gigi has always wanted one thing she could never have-Landon. Quiet. Unshakeable. Untouchable. For years, she's been the punchline of whispered jokes and cruel labels. Promiscuous. Reckless. A sl*t. A woman who doesn't know how to be loved, only used. And maybe that's how she learned to survive-by owning the brand the world burned into her skin. Until Landon. For one fleeting moment, he sees her. Wants her. Holds her like she's more than a rumor. But when tragedy strikes their circle of friends-Mark and Rachel's marriage imploding under the weight of betrayal-Gigi finds herself accused of the unthinkable. Manipulation. Infidelity. Of being the reason another woman's life fell apart. And this time, the voices aren't just strangers. They're her friends. Including the man she loves most. Landon turns on her, his words cutting deeper than any lie ever could. Whore. Homewrecker. Mistake. And with him goes the last piece of her she ever thought was worthy of mercy. But when the truth surfaces-when the lies unravel-can Gigi escape the brand that's defined her for years? Can she ever believe Landon that she's the woman beyond her body-worthy of a breaking heart?

Rachel's heart broke ten years ago. The man she wanted never saw her. She was never on his radar. So she moved on--or tried to. He was her best friend's brother, after all; escaping him was impossible. Instead, she built a life. Married another man who promised her the kind of love she'd stopped waiting for. But promises shatter easily. When Rachel discovers her husband's infidelity, the illusion of her happy ending crumbles. Mark was never the man who saw her. And the miserable truth is--the only man who ever did, abandoned her while her world fell apart. Now she's a new mother to her cheating, abusive husband's daughter, surrounded by friends who refuse to let her break... including him. Roy. Leroy. The man she weaved fantasies around since she was thirteen. So when he finally looks at her--really looks at her--and promises the kind of love she once dreamed about, Rachel lets herself fall. Completely. Only to learn she was never going to be his first choice. He had twenty years to hear her. Five months to claim her. And one night was all it took--for him to destroy her instead.

Keshia never asked to be the villain. She was just a woman who walked away from a forgettable man-until his wife showed up, pregnant, broken, and holding the truth like a loaded gun. Keshia doesn't crumble. She listens. She helps. She fights back with truth. But lies travel faster than the truth ever could. So when she joins forces with his wife to expose him, Keshia is dubbed the villain by the husband and his lapdogs. The evil witch who wrecked a marriage and manipulated a vulnerable wife into leaving him. Threatened and ambushed, she learns just how far the husband will go to silence her. Enter Luca, the loyal goon who believed the wrong story. Who could've shown her mercy, but didn't. Who watched her fall and realized too late that he's the one who pushed her. And Keshia? Her mercy has turned phantom-vanished with the woman he failed.

To most people, my husband is Viper. VP of the Devil's Rejects MC, hard, uncompromising, and completely committed to the club and his brothers. But the man I fell in love with was simply Roman, a man who called me Sunshine, and treated me like I was his treasure. By the time I realized the club would always come first, I was in too deep. And when his enemies came for me? He wasn't there to protect me because he was busy protecting her. And that I don't know how to forgive. Now I'm building a new life for myself without Roman. He promises he will give up everything to win me back, but promises are cheap and his aren't worth much. When we discover our enemies are still alive and planning to strike out again, however, I might not have any choice but to put my life in the hands of the man who's already let me down once.

April I fight fires for a living-but I've never felt more burned than I did that night. As a forest ranger, I live on the edge of danger and calm. My body is strong, my will even stronger, but that doesn't mean I'm unbreakable. I thought love-real love-would see through the scars I keep hidden beneath my uniform. I thought Ellis saw me. Understood me. But all it took was one careless sentence. One drunken confession echoing through a baby monitor, turning a celebration into a battlefield. He humiliated me in front of everyone-my friends, my chosen sisters, myself. And now I'm standing in the ashes of something I thought would last forever, wondering if I've been lying to myself about what love really looks like. Ellis I was drunk. Stupid. Thoughtless. It was just a conversation. Boys being boys, joking around in a room where I thought no one could hear. But they did. She did. And I said things I can't take back. I don't even recognize the man who said them-because that man humiliated the strongest, most loyal, most incredible woman he's ever known. April is the kind of woman who runs toward danger. Who holds broken branches like they're bones and brings people back from the edge. And I crushed her with words. Now I'd do anything-everything-to take it back. But the damage is done. And I'm not sure I deserve to be the one who tries to fix it.
