Deborah's wounded heart was an untended fortress, but Jonah was willing to endure any siege to breach it. From the shadows, however, Duke Markus watched their growing connection with a creeping, obsessive madness. He would stop at nothing to shatter their bond and claim her for himself. And he will cross any line to make it happen. - A ten year old violin prodigy was trapped inside of a popular brothel named The Flower's Garden. With a burst of courage, she and two other girls planned their escape. Yet, their defiance was met with death and blood. But Daniel Wellinger, a respected apothecary, found one of the girls alive and took her home. He nursed her back to health and gave her a new life, a new name - Deborah. Despite the racial prejudices in the country of Briersberg, Deborah grew like a flower under Daniel's protective care. Her new goal is to be a professional musician, but she must fight to achieve this in a world that is set against her. During an outing, Deborah captures the attention of Jonah Watson, the spirited son of the duke's personal physician. He shows her a tender love of which she had never experienced. But would she accept this affection or would the abuse she suffered make her push him away? Her music also tickled the ears of Duke Markus Beaufort, a sickly noble haunted by inner demons. Her songs soothed his mind and brought color to his otherwise dull existence. Yet, what began as fascination soon morphed into a dark obsession. Deborah sought freedom through music; he sought to possess her because of it. Markus watches the pair with cold eyes, unwilling to let her go. Deborah was a valuable light he desired to consume. He has one goal: "I must destroy her if I'm to have her." Torn between a man who'd do anything for her and a man who'd do anything to get her, Deborah must fight for the career, freedom, and love she truly deserves. #3 in Black Woman 8/9/26 #3 in Safe Love 8/9/26

In the shadow of the mountains, Sofì meets Davide a man whose rough hands, dark eyes, and possessive touch leave her trembling . "I own you," he growls, voice low and rough, eyes dark with intent. "Not him. Me."Between stolen glances, fiery arguments, and moments of raw passion, she's drawn to him in ways she doesn't fully understand-but every time he looks at her, Sofì feels both fear and exhilaration.

He left her to protect his bloodline. Now his bloodline is the one thing that could destroy him. Years ago, Amari Grant fell for Luca Moretti - heir to one of the most feared mafia families in Italy. He was her forbidden love, her undoing, and her heartbreak. When his family forced him to choose between his legacy and the woman he loved, Luca walked away... never knowing she was carrying his child. Amari built a new life in silence. She raised their son alone, far from Luca's world of guns and loyalty oaths. Now happily married and thriving. But secrets don't stay buried forever. When word of the boy reaches Luca's enemies, the unthinkable happens - her son is taken. Desperate and out of options, Amari does the last thing she ever thought she would: she goes back to Luca. The man who shattered her heart is now her only hope. When Luca learns the truth - that the child he's being asked to protect is his own - everything he's built starts to crumble. His marriage. His empire. His control. Now the ruthless don will burn the world to find his son and protect him... and the woman who still owns his heart. But rescuing them means war - and in the mafia, love is the deadliest weakness of all.

Melody Carter has built a life from nothing. Three years ago, she woke in a hospital with no past, no identity, no one searching for her. So she became someone new-a fifth-grade teacher with a fiancé who loves her stability, a carefully ordered existence where nothing threatens to unravel. Safe. Empty. Survivable. Then Lila walks into her classroom. The six-year-old looks up at Melody with absolute certainty and whispers, "Mommy." Every day. Without hesitation. Without doubt. Melody tells herself it's confusion. A mix-up. A child grasping at something she needs. But Lila knows things-the lullaby Melody hums without thinking, the stuffed animal Melody dreams about, moments from a life Melody can't remember living. And when the memories start returning in fragments-a laugh, strong arms, a man's voice saying her name like it matters-Melody begins to understand a truth more devastating than her amnesia: This little girl never forgot her. Everyone else did. Now Melody must choose between the woman she's become and the life she's lost-knowing that reclaiming one means destroying the other. Some reunions don't heal. They break open what was finally learning to survive.

"I hate how much I need you, Niyah..." From just enemies, to enemies with benefits, to lovers. I hate how much I want him. But I can't escape him. Why? Because we're lawfully locked. An office romance between rival lawyers who try to fight the tension between them until they finally give in. "You say you hate me but you fuck me the same day." *a lot of smut included!*

Four years ago, Selena Moreau gave her heart to a man she had no business loving. She was a seamstress-young, gifted, and far from home. He was a prince, caught between duty and desire, with promises that tasted like forever. In the quiet shadows of the palace, they shared something soft, something sacred... until the world outside tore it apart. Now, Selena lives a quiet life in the town no one of importance ever visits, raising her son with careful hands and a guarded heart. She asks for nothing. Expects even less. The boy she bore is hers alone, and she intends to keep it that way. But when the newly crowned king returns and their paths cross once more, old feelings begin to stir-and buried truths rise to the surface. Alexander is back... not just in her world, but dangerously close to the one secret that binds them forever. He wants to know his son. He wants to understand what he lost. But after everything he left behind... will she let him in? A story of first love, betrayal, and the slow, aching journey back to one another-where the cost of silence may be the only thing keeping them apart.

My best friend had one specific rule for her wedding week: 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐝. It should have been easy. I'm here to be a bridesmaid, not a distraction. Then I met Caleb Calhoun. He's forty-four, runs the biggest ranch in Montana, and looks at me like I'm a natural disaster waiting to happen. He values order, discipline, and respect. I drive a rusted El Camino, drink cheap beer, and thrive on chaos. He thinks I'm just a reckless twenty-one-year-old with nothing to offer but trouble. So, naturally, I decide to be his trouble. I push every button he has. I call him 'Daddy' because I know he hates it-and because I know it makes him think things he definitely shouldn't. To top it off? I flirt with his son just to watch his jaw tick...until his son starts flirting back. His son Benny is freshly back from war, dangerously charming, and looks at me like I'm the first thing he's wanted in years. And the more I provoke the grumpy rancher, the more I realize this isn't a game. Benny wants to keep me. Caleb wants to tame me. And for the first time in my life, I might actually want to be 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐝

Adam never believed in magic until the night he saved a woman with wings. Wandering through the forest, he stumbles upon Lysandra, a breathtaking fairy with silver-lit wings, wounded and barely conscious. Against all logic, he takes her home, unaware that he's just entangled himself in a world he was never meant to know. Lysandra is a creature of light and enchantment, bound to a realm where humans are nothing more than a fleeting myth. She knows she should leave, disappear before the fairy court realizes she's broken their most sacred rule-revealing herself to a human. But something about Adam keeps her from flying away. He's kind, protective, and his touch ignites a warmth she's never known before. As Adam helps her heal, a forbidden love blossoms between them. He shows her the beauty of the human world-sunrises over the ocean, music that stirs the soul, and love that isn't bound by magic but by choice. And Lysandra? She makes Adam believe in the impossible. But the fairy realm does not forgive those who break its laws. When Lysandra's people discover her secret, she's given a choice-return to her world and erase all memories of the man she loves, or risk everything to be with him. Will they find a way to bridge the impossible gap between their worlds? Or will fate tear them apart before they even have a chance?
