Dying was supposed to be the ultimate unsubscribe button. The universe, however, declined Wren Salazar's request.
Wren's life plan was simple: stay invisible, survive his violently toxic stepdad, and eventually escape. Taking a rusted kitchen knife to the chest to stop a drunken murder definitely wasn't on the agenda. Neither was waking up.
Instead of eternal peace, Wren opens his eyes fully healed, dressed in a flawless black-and-gold uniform, and standing outside the gates of an impossibly elite, otherworldly academy. It looks like the kind of high-budget prep school where the cafeteria serves wagyu beef. But while his fatal wound is gone, his trauma-and his terrifying, razor-sharp ability to instantly read the threats and power dynamics of any room-came with him.
Wren might have respawned in a pristine new world, but he's about to find out that surviving the social hierarchy of the afterlife is a lot deadlier than the knife that put him here.

**COMPLETED*** This is book 2 and can be read as a standalone but I recommend you read "Fated" first. Something caught my eye and when I looked up in the mirror I saw Rykan stepping inside, shutting the door and sliding the lock in place. My heart hammered in my chest as he approached me. He came right up behind me, setting his hands on my hips, never breaking our gaze through the mirror. "Kora," he murmured, stepping closer until my back brushed against his chest. His hand slid down to the end of my skirt and he flattened his palm against my bare leg, sliding his hand up my skirt. "I'm married," I blurted, swallowing hard and trying to ignore how much I liked the way it felt having his hands on me. "Hm," he grunted, narrowing his eyes as he continued his ascension up my outer thigh. His touch sent tingles all over my body, sending heat right between my legs. He gripped my leg and suddenly turned me, his hand now palming my ass as he pulled me against him, his teeth scraping against my neck as his other hand up to my neck. "Didn't seem to bother you when you had me down your throat last night," he said, wrapping his hand around my throat and lifting his head to give me one of those heart-stopping stares. "In fact, I believe you started that, angel." Koralie always felt that there was a part of herself missing. A part she hadn't yet discovered. Stuck in a toxic marriage, she's navigating her way out of it when she meets Rykan, a mysterious stranger she feels an undeniable draw towards although she isn't sure why. Things become even more intense when he starts showing up in her dreams, claiming he is a werewolf and they are mates. An even more unexpected turn of events comes when Kora starts looking into the supernatural world and finds it is not as foreign to her as it should be.

"You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.

THE DON'S PHOENIX
She was born into a dynasty; he was born to rule the world's deadliest empire. Together, they burned everything down to rise from the ashes. Anastacia Dinara Romanov was criminal royalty, the only daughter of the infamous Russian Don. Raised behind palace gates and bulletproof glass, she was protected by four ruthless Romanov men, her father and three fiercely loyal brothers. Her life was shadowed by violence but wrapped in loyalty, and in that world, one boy always saw her, Leonardo Vincenzo, heir to the Italian Mafia throne, a silent protector whose love never needed words, but power is rarely enough to protect a girl from the man she chooses. Victor Armando, son of the Mexican cartel king who once kidnapped her mother and left her to die, entered Anastacia's life with a lie wrapped in love. Against her family's warnings, she married him for peace. Instead, she became his possession. What began as a treaty quickly turned into a gilded cage, a slow-burning war waged behind closed doors. Victor didn't need to break her with fists; he did it with silence, shame, manipulation, and betrayal. He shattered her spirit, destroyed her body image, and isolated her from everyone who ever loved her. His mistress, Lisa, taunted her, and he let it happen. That was until Anastacia overheard a plan that would end her family. It was the moment everything changed. In secret, she stole files, recordings, passwords, everything. She risked her life for evidence, and when the weight of it all became unbearable, she broke. Leonardo never stopped watching. The necklace he gave her, his final act of love, saved her life. He found her, saved her, and then together, they began her vengeance. Taken to Italy, hidden and healed under Leonardo's protection, Anastacia trained to become a force. In the arms of the world's most feared Don, she didn't just survive; she transformed. She's not the girl who fell for a lie. She's the storm coming to burn it all down.Complete

| 18+ | Damian looked so different with his shirt off and a crop in his hand. He felt more real: no longer wearing the mask of the good doctor, he was the Exorcist, the master over my wildest fears, the stones on the shore over which my ocean of madness could crash without fear. He trailed the crop over my throat, down my chest. "Your demons have not been playing nicely," he said, a warning in his tone. Goosebumps prickled up my arms as the smooth leather teased over my navel. "No, sir. They haven't. They don't much like you." He grinned, and it was such a wicked sight that my stomach clenched up with desire. I desperately wanted to feel those teeth, the softness of those lips. Patience was nearly impossible. "I must admit I don't much like them either," he growled. "Turn around. Hands on the wall. Spread your legs." I obeyed, my breath catching in my throat. I felt him lean close, his breath hot on my neck as he left kisses along my hairline. "But they don't own your body, do they, darling? Who owns this body?" "I do, sir." My breathing shuddered. The crop tapped between my thighs. "That's right. And who have you chosen to give your body to?"

The Billionaires Dark Love
"Please dont do this, I don't want it. Please." I plead with him but it's no use. He walks over to me and slams his hand on the wall next to my head, making me jump. "Turn around." He speaks slowly in a low tone. I don't move out of fear and stare at him. "NOW!" I jump and slowly turn around. I feel him move my hair to the side and puts it on. He turns me back around, smiling. "Now, that wasn't so bad." He pauses staring at me. "Make sure you never take this off. Do you understand? Never." He says in a commanding tone, looking into my eyes. I nod silently, he stares at me and gently kisses my cheek. "I will be back for you later." He turns and leaves the room. Once I'm sure he is gone, I go to the mirror. I look at my neck and see it... A leather collar with his name inscripted on it . Damien ***** If you think this is a happy story, it's not so beware.
