Demesne.
Some territories are drawn in ink. Others in desire.
Serena Cullen has always known her place-quiet, composed, tucked away in the shadows of Knight's Enterprise and under the thumb of her calculating stepmother.
As the daughter of James Knight, she works as his assistant, keeping the fragile empire afloat while silencing her own dreams. But when Knight's Enterprise teeters on collapse, salvation arrives in the form of Xavier Argent.
In a world ruled by power, legacy, and manipulation, Demesne is not just a company, a home, or a name. It's a claim-a territory of the heart-and Serena must decide if she's strong enough to own hers.

The Billionaire's Cheerleader
Damian Montague a powerful CEO who thrives on control, his world dominated by business and his own rigid rules. He doesn't understand sports and certainly doesn't care about the cheerleaders who bring energy to the games. That is, until he meets Kylie Castellan-a fiery 20-year-old Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and finance college student whose undeniable charisma turns his world upside down. There's one thing Damian can't seem to shake: he wants her. Not just for her beauty or her vibrant energy, but because he craves control over her-a desire to make her dance only for him, to claim her and her attention in a way no one else can. She belongs on the field, dazzling a crowd, but all he can think about is taking her out of that spotlight and making her his. His to command. His to protect. His to break and rebuild, until the only thing she lives for is him.Complete![Becoming His Only Queen | 18+ [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/271719572-256-k240729.jpg)
