In the Den of the Kingdom of Dreduor, money reigns supreme and one's skill at deception determines how much you can make, and how much longer you will survive.

Maize is a thief- a very good thief, and one of the Den's best. So when a wealthy benefactor purposefully seeks her out to fulfill a contracted job, she is neither surprised nor hesitant to accept. Only after she discovers it's the royal palace she needs to infiltrate, Maize quickly finds herself in the middle of the grandest con of her career.

Maize must position herself within the court in order to complete her mission, even if it means capturing the eye- and the heart- of the very Prince she's supposed to abscond. But will Maize be able to finish the job before her true intentions are discovered? 

Or worse- before she finds her heart stolen first?

Corrupt Desire | 18+ by leahhkentt

Isabella Kane has always been driven by one thing: justice. As an elite FBI agent, she's never shied away from danger or backed down from a challenge. But when her latest assignment leads her into the shadowy world of Sylus Draven, the enigmatic and ruthless mafia boss who controls the city's underworld, Isabella finds herself entangled in a deadly game of power, deception, and desire. Sylus is a man who gets what he wants-by any means necessary. His reputation is built on fear, and his empire is sustained by secrets. But beneath his cold exterior lies a darkness even he cannot control, a darkness that begins to unravel the moment he meets Isabella. Drawn to her strength and beauty, Sylus is determined to possess her, even if it means risking everything he's built.As Isabella digs deeper into Sylus's operations, she uncovers a hidden secret, the N19zone-a clandestine network that holds the key to his empire. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous the game becomes. Caught in a web of lies and seduction, Isabella must decide how far she's willing to go to bring Sylus down-or if she's already too far gone to escape his grasp. In a world where trust is a luxury and love is a weapon, Isabella and Sylus are on a collision course that can only end in one of two ways: with one of them broken or both of them consumed by the flames of their own making. The lines between good and evil blur as they navigate the treacherous path of their obsession, where every choice could be their last. Welcome to "The Devil's Game," where the stakes are high, the players ruthless, and love is the most dangerous game of all. Will Isabella survive the darkness that is Sylus Draven, or will she become his most prized possession?

A Thorny Tale by Kitsuneume

Foreword: A plant can thrive or a plant can die with or without attention. Whether it's lovingly nurtured or butchered makes no difference really but sometimes they can come back stronger than ever. It's a relationship where we need each other more than we think about really and we take them all for granted like we do each other. One seed can sow doubt or it can sow hope. Wonder what would happen to the world if such a seed existed inside a person and it finally bloomed? Synopsis: Briar was made a slave and an orphan on the same day she was born. She serves at the castle she was born in, the court of winter. Everyone can command her to do tasks and she has no freedom to leave. Those at the top of this world are the ruling Fae, next are ruling humans, next Fae, free humans, protected slaves and then the banished ones. At least as a slave she has a chance at earning her freedom from a ruling Fae to pardon her. She is also something more which is discovered as she grows up but she must keep it hidden to protect herself. As she masters her skills, she, along with her friends, are given the opportunity to leave and earn her freedom. It's the first step in finding herself and her answers and perhaps it could change her life in ways she couldn't imagine when she was taking everyone's orders in the kitchen. But first she must rescue a prince from a dungeon... (Small warning) Contains suggestions of non consensual sexual relationships of a business kind but no graphic detail. This is a story about a main female character in a reverse harem situation as well. (Book cover made from Book Covers app)

SOLOMON'S BRIDGE {Part I} by therieplusfaith

The Pitch: The Custodian of Canaan is reborn, but so are the major players in the injustice that was done to her, in 1891. This time around, she is the villain. Revenge has never been so sweet, so irresistible, and so utterly confusing. Because come morning after the bloody wicked night, she can't remember a single thing. Can an MI6 Agent on a mission to steal a virus solve the mystery? Can a doomsday prophetess shine a light on the path to redemption? Can a delinquent street king save the day by blowing up a bridge that is nothing but an illusion? The curse is rolling even in the reverse, but maybe all she has to do to hold on, is to let go... A bewitching time through time, in one city, and in different lives. This, is Canaan. Part 1: When a British Lord decides to chase adventure in the ancient kingdom of Canaan, his curious steps lead him to discover a reality he'd never believed existed; mysterious goings on among surprisingly actively political people; and a love he was determined to build castles for. But tragedy strikes with brutal force, and time cycles a century before opportunity comes to right a terrible wrong. Sometimes, it takes more than a generation to defeat the enemy... In between: how well do you know your neighbour? Written by: Therese Essien
