"You came begging for a shield, sweetheart. You had a dead man's blood on your hands and a terrified child clutching your leg, and you thought you were just asking for sanctuary. You didn't know I've spent four years turning the Russian underworld into a slaughterhouse just to find the girl who smiled at me in a hallway. You want me to wipe out the cartel that hurt her? Done. I'll burn them to ash before the sun comes up. But the price is you. You think this diamond on your finger is a marriage? It's a cage. And I am never, ever opening the door." - Andrei Romanov --- To the Russian underworld, Andrei Romanov is the Devil-a ruthless, untouchable Don who commands the largest criminal syndicate in the country. To Angelina Smirnova, he was just a bleeding boy she bandaged in a school corridor four years ago. She forgot his face. He converted an empire into a search engine to find hers. Angelina is a gentle English teacher who has spent her life pouring her soul into the children at her orphanage. When nine-year-old Nika is brutally assaulted by a cartel heir, Angelina doesn't hesitate-she kills the monster and runs. Desperate, hunted, and out of options, she seeks out the only man powerful enough to keep the child safe. She thought she was asking a crime boss for a favor. She didn't know she was walking straight into the arms of a man whose obsession has no ceiling and no limit. Andrei agrees to protect the little girl, but his price is absolute: a marriage. Angelina thinks she sold her soul to a monster to save a child. She doesn't know that the Devil has been waiting four years to worship her, and he will burn the entire world down to ensure she never leaves his cage. _ Book 2 of the Addicted Series {Can be read as a standalone too}

"You ran, sunshine. Seven fucking years, an ocean, a quiet little life. You thought distance could cure you of me. Sweet thing - I'm the disease. And I don't want the fucking cure either. I took the throne so I could put every camera and every satellite on this planet between you and your next breath. I'll burn London to find the street you live on. I'll tear the Crown off my own head and use it as a key. And when I find you - and I will find you - you can wear that quiet little life like a Sunday dress. I'll peel it off you one slow inch at a time. With my teeth, if I have to." - Asher Rowan _____ To the world, Asher Rowan is the Crown Prince of England - the most photographed man on the planet, with three centuries of bloodline and the entire British intelligence apparatus at his back. To Athena, he is just a boy who read books to her at the back of a public library when they were sixteen. She walked away from him seven years ago. Clean breakup. Calm voice. A lie she swore would die in her mouth. She built a small life in London - paint on her wrists, sunshine in her smile - and told herself she made peace with him. She is about to open her phone, and the world is about to show her his face. He took the throne for one reason. To find her. He expects her to be afraid. He expects her to run. What he does not expect is that the sunshine girl from that library never stopped being his. That she did not leave because she stopped loving him. She left because she loved him too much to let him carry her. He built an empire to hunt her. He took a throne to claim her. And he will burn it all down to drag her back into the only ordinary life he was ever allowed to live. _______ "The Royal Prince | 18+" is the special edition of the "Princes of Ardencrest" Series. {Can be read as a standalone}

Hazel is being haunted. Not by Hogwarts ghosts or Peeves the Poltergeist, but by decade-old memories that infest every corner of the castle. Some good, others she'd rather forget. But one memory, a most bittersweet kind, dwells on the face of her nephew. Apart from having his mother's eyes, Harry Potter is the spitting image of Hazel's dead brother. Unfortunately, he's also inherited James's uncanny ability to get into - and away with - mischief. Hazel thought the top priority would be keeping him safe, but Hogwarts staff seem to largely turn a blind eye when they catch Harry sniffing around for trouble. Hazel feels forsaken until she finds an exceptionally unlikely ally in her brother's former archenemy. Despite seemingly hating the kid, Severus Snape is the only other adult at Hogwarts who appears to be making any active effort to stop Harry from getting himself killed. Hazel is willing to set aside old grudges and combine forces with him, but Severus can't seem to see past the ghost of James in not just Harry, but in Hazel too.

Three years after the fall of Jurassic World, Lily Grady has tried to move on from the nightmare that took everything from her. But when she learns that Blue-the raptor she once loved-is still alive, she can't stay away. With the island's volcano ready to erupt, Lily joins her uncle Owen and Claire Dearing on a desperate mission to save what remains. But as old scars resurface and new dangers close in, Lily discovers the truth: not everyone wants the dinosaurs rescued. Now, surrounded by fire, betrayal, and memories that refuse to die, she must face the past she's been running from-before it destroys her for good.

Seventeen-year-old Lily Grady expected her summer exile to Isla Nublar to be nothing more than boring maintenance work-a punishment for her rebellious streak back home. What she didn't expect was to stumble into the island's most dangerous paddock her first night. There, she discovers her uncle Owen's raptor pack aren't just intelligent predators-they can shift into human form. At the center of this secret is Blue, the pack's fierce beta whose piercing eyes and protective instincts seem locked on her. But falling for a raptor in human form is dangerous enough without corporate conspiracies, overprotective uncles, and the truth that some secrets are worth killing for. As Lily's bond with Blue deepens, she must decide how far she'll go to protect him-and whether love is worth risking everything. Some bonds transcend species. Some attractions are primal. And sometimes, the most dangerous thing on an island full of prehistoric predators is falling in love.

Jasper Hale was born to blood and war. He had worn the uniform of the Union, carried the weight of slaughter across centuries, and buried himself in the Cullens' false salvation. But guilt is a brand deeper than any scar, and when he nearly lost himself in Bella Swan's blood, Jasper knew he couldn't stay. He fled north, into the cold. Into exile. Into Montana. Elkhorn Ranch was meant to be penance. A place where the days were carved out of ice and bone, where silence pressed down heavier than the snow. He came there as a ghost, another drifter with calloused hands and eyes too old to meet. But fate had already marked him. Wyatt Rose Uley was branded long before Jasper laid eyes on her. Born in La Push, she had carried the weight of an absent father, a brother who turned into something monstrous after she ran, and a mother who had nothing left to give. Wyatt carved her own way out-eighteen years old, a duffel bag and a sharp tongue, rodeo summers and brutal winters that kept her alive. She was fire and grit. He was ash and ruin. And when they met, the world shifted. What began as barbs in the frozen dark bled into something more dangerous: a hunger that burned hotter than the firewood in the bunkhouse stove. He called her Rosebud when she spat curses at him. She called him pretty boy when she should have called him predator. They bickered, they laughed, and somewhere between, they bled into each other. He thought he had come to Montana to disappear. She thought she had come to Montana to survive. But Alice Cullen had already seen it-the long winter nights, the stars stretched like scars across the sky, the moment Jasper Hale would meet the woman who would undo him. Some bonds are forged in blood. Some loves are carved out of ruin. And some fires brand you forever. This is Branded. A Southern Gothic tale of ghosts, cowboys, and a love too sharp to let go.

Max Verstappen to Mercedes? The paddock is buzzing. The media's in meltdown. Dr. Anastasia "Ana" Wolff, Mercedes' notoriously brilliant, emotionally unavailable lead systems engineer and Toto Wolff's eldest daughter, is not handling it well. Because Max isn't just a potential signing, he's the man she's been sleeping with in secret for nearly a decade. And if the rumours are true, and Max Verstappen really is joining Mercedes, then Ana's carefully compartmentalised world is about to explode.

Dearest Gentle Reader, This author has seen many a debutante take her first trembling steps into society, but rarely has there been a case quite so curious as that of Lady Flora Bridgerton. The twin sister of this season's Diamond, one might assume that Lady Flora would be content to stand beside her sister, a mere reflection of her brilliance. Yet, how mistaken one would be. For while the elder Miss Bridgerton captivates with her grace and refinement, Lady Flora has a talent of her own-one that involves far more laughter, far more mischief, and far more unexpected entanglements with a certain Duke. Yes, dear reader, you have read correctly. Sebastian Ashbourne, the fearsome and notoriously unapproachable Duke of Ashbourne, has been seen in close company with Lady Flora far more often than society would expect. And what a deliciously peculiar pairing they make. The Duke-silent, brooding, and immune to frivolity. And Lady Flora-light, warmth, and laughter itself. One might wonder: what could such a man want with such a woman? Or, perhaps more intriguingly-what could such a woman see in such a man? No matter the answer, one thing is certain. His smile is a rare thing indeed... and yet, it seems, it belongs to her. And as every reader knows, even the most unyielding of hearts can be undone. Yours truly, Lady Whistledown

Kiara Hollensein has always played the game on her own terms-sharp-tongued, untouchable, impossible to pin down. But when she steps into the world of military politics, she makes a move no one sees coming: a proposal, not to a noble suitor, but to the Commander of the Scout Regiment himself. Captain Levi has spent his life cutting through corruption, uninterested in noble power plays - until Kiara walks into his world with a deal too calculated to be desperate, too reckless to be meaningless. She's trouble wrapped in silk and sharp edges, a storm he doesn't have the time for. But she's also right about one thing: in a city built on secrets, survival doesn't come to those who wait. It belongs to those who move first. Genre: Dark Fantasy, Romance, Action *This story contains mature language, explicit scenes, mental trauma, and depictions of death and violence.
