He vowed silence. He vowed purity. He burned an entire monastery to claim her. Isolde was meant to disappear-buried in a quiet monastery to repent for the scandal that ruined her family. Her unwanted husband, Brother Cassian Vale, was meant to keep her in line: silent, detached, holy. But Cassian is no saint. He is the Church's best-kept secret-The Butcher of Adrion, tucked away behind vows meant to leash the monster within. And sharing a hallway with the woman he was forced to marry awakens every violent, forbidden urge he swore to drown in prayer. His pacing becomes obsession. His silence becomes possession. And when another man dares to touch her, the saint shatters-and the sinner rises. Now, Isolde is the spark and Cassian is the wildfire. The monastery wants to cast her out. Cassian would rather burn the world. When the bell tower rings its final warning, she must decide: flee the monster everyone fears... or fall willingly into the arms of the man who would destroy heaven for her. A dark romance of obsession, ruin, and a love too dangerous to cage.

She freed the genie. He bound himself to her. And now the world wants their wish... or her life. When eighteen-year-old Amara finds a forbidden lamp buried beneath a collapsing desert shrine, she expects treasure-not a dangerously beautiful genie with eyes like molten gold and a voice that sounds like temptation itself. Jafir, last of the Fallen Djinn, has waited centuries for someone worthy to break his curse. But the moment Amara touches the lamp, the bond forms-ancient, unbreakable, and far more intimate than either of them expects. Her heartbeat becomes his tether. Her safety becomes his obsession. But granting her three wishes comes with consequences. Every wish awakens another group of hunters: sorcerers, kings, demons, and those who want the genie's power... even if it means killing Amara to get it. Now bound by magic and desire, Amara must choose carefully: wish for freedom and sever their bond- or risk everything for the ancient, forbidden love growing between them. Because the genie she freed is willing to burn kingdoms for her. And the world has just discovered she holds the most powerful weapon alive. A romantic, dangerous, addictive fantasy where one girl's choices can reshape fate... and awaken a genie who would destroy heaven and earth to protect her.

❝Three dragons and their naughty little pet.❞ There's a rule in piracy - never fuck with the Dragons because they burn you alive. Literally. I'm not a fan of following rules, especially when the Dragons' hoarding obsession makes them the wealthiest patrons. I shouldn't be surprised when I'm kidnapped by the dragons upon failing to fulfil my end of an important deal. As if my luck couldn't be more of a bitch to me, I get kidnapped by none other than the three Dragons from one of the most powerful clans in the Arctic- Radrox, Ivret and Zorge. Now that they have me, I must pay for my failed deal in cash or kind. But that's not what they seem to be interested in, especially with the dwindling population of dragon ladies and their dangerous obsession with me. Those three dragons are definitely going to burn me but with a different kind of fire. ~ It can be read as a stand-alone book. Themes: slow burn, some BDSM, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, kink exploration, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape. Even though there's a power imbalance between the FL and the MLs, whatever happens between them and her involves consent. No cheating. The MLs don't do each other in this book. ~ COMPLETE NEXT BOOK - A Plaything for the Dragons PREQUEL OF THIS BOOK - Her Alpha Mates

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. That was what they whispered about me. My mother was a dancer who seduced an Emperor to survive. I was the ignored princess who seduced a Prince to steal a throne. I thought I was the heroine of a romance novel. I thought if I smiled enough, schemed enough, and loved him enough, I would get my happily ever after. I was wrong. My sister was the beloved Cinderella. The Crown Prince was her Prince Charming. And I? I was just the wicked stepsister who got in the way. My reward for stealing the male lead was a hellish marriage, a cold bed, and a lonely death. Now, I have returned to the beginning. I'm done chasing fairytales. I'm done trying to be someone I'm not. This time, I won't go to the ball. I won't wear the glass slipper. I will just fade into the background and disappear. Or so I thought. "Careful, Your Highness." On the balcony where I tried to hide from the world, a hand caught me. It wasn't a Prince. It was a Knight I had never noticed before. I wanted to retire from this fairytale, but it seems the story isn't done with me yet

Isha Smith was just an ordinary book addict with a dangerous weakness for forbidden romance... until her favourite novel literally swallowed her whole. Now she's trapped in the body of Valeria Duclair-the breathtaking, powerful, and utterly doomed villainess destined to die at the hands of the man she chased so desperately. Armed with nothing but razor-sharp sarcasm, a encyclopedic knowledge of every overused romance cliché, and a fierce determination to live, Isha is ready to rewrite the entire tragic script. No more scheming. No more pearl-clutching jealousy. And definitely no dying for a man who never loved her. But rewriting fate isn't easy when the engagement to the cold, dangerously handsome Vincent Veyrault is already looming, Seraphina's infuriating angel-face innocence is stealing every spotlight, and two obsessively possessive brothers are circling like sharks who smell blood in the water. Can a sarcastic bookworm survive the deadly plot that killed the original villainess... or will she end up just as dead as the rumours promised? One thing's for certain: this time, the villainess refuses to play by the book.

I don't even know why I expected it to be different. When I spoke my opinion, they ignored me - just like always. It never surprised me anymore. They would never take me seriously. Because I am "only a woman" in a world ruled by men. I had heard whispers that it was not like this everywhere. That other realms did not silence their strongest warriors simply because they were born female. But here - in Heaven - power belonged to men. My name is Elissa. I am an angel. The best warrior Heaven has. The strongest. Everyone knows it. They say it in private. They admit it when they need me on the battlefield. But never out loud. Never in front of me. And it never bothered me. Until now. Because now it's my time to make my own choises. And the first one - I am leaving heaven and going to another realm.

"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series

Virelya has spent her life as a blade in someone else's hand. Bound by an ancient oath to Aethryn-the man who raised her, shaped her, and owns the rune carved into her skin-she has never questioned the blood on her hands. Until the night a dying stranger whispers a truth she was never meant to hear: Only you can set yourself free. Now every step feels like treason. Every thought burns against the magic in her veins. And when a quiet historian named Dornath begins speaking of others once bound like her, Virelya must choose between the cage she knows and a freedom that might kill her. But oaths do not break gently-and Aethryn does not forgive. Chains of the Sworn is a dark, emotional fantasy about control, survival, and learning to become more than the weapon you were made to be.
