The government as we knew it hundreds of years ago no longer exists. Each town has their own leader who upholds laws and rules that have been put into place after the government fell years ago.
In the new world, women have no choice as to who they marry. The choice lays solely on the man. Once a man has come and claimed a woman, they are bound to the man who chose them forever.
I wanted the sweetheart down the road to be the one to claim me. We got along great, had many of the same hobbies, his parents loved me, and my parents loved him. I swore there was something there, but he never showed any interest.
My hopes and dreams were dashed the moment that Dane walked into my bedroom and told me that I was now his. Dane is the leader of our town. He is ruthless, cutthroat, and not the person I would have ever chosen for myself.
Now I'm married to the leader, and everything is changing so fast. I didn't think life could get much worse after Dane claimed me.
I was wrong. So wrong.
My name is Delphine Parker and this is my story.

Step Brother 2: Jealousy (Completed)
Mature themes, and strong language! 18+ only. It's been 10 years, since Kate chose Logan. 10 years since she broke Rome's heart. As I make my way back, I accidently bump into a man. "Oh gosh, I'm sorry." I say apologetically. "It's fine. Don't worry." His voice. I know that voice. "Rome?" I say in disbelief. The man pulls down the hood on his jacket, revealing his face. It is Rome. He looks older, he still looks good, but I can see, he's not in a good place in himself. He's smiling, but behind that smile, his eyes are full of sadness, and anger. "Hey Kate." He whispers sheepishly. My mouth opens to reply, but no words come out. I'm in shock. It's been a little over 9 years. He's the same, but he's not. "H_how have you been?" I say stuttering a little. "I've been good. How are you?" Our eyes meet for a split second, there's something there, I don't know what it is, but his eyes are trying to say something. "I've been.. Good." I shrug. I'm not lying, but I suppose right now, things could be better. What else could I say? Oh, me and your old best friend, you know that one that betrayed you? Yeah well him, we kinda had a fight, because we were about to have sex, and he didn't want to use a condom, he wants more kids, I don't. So I've been searching for him. I can't find him though. Yeah. No. I won't say that. "Where's Logan?" He says looking around. Ugh, what am I supposed to say? "Oh, he.. He will be back soon. He went for a walk." Such a bad liar. "Want some company, while you stroll around?" He says so innocently. I know I shouldn't, but I can trust myself, and Logan should know he can trust me too. So I just nod, and we begin to walk. Little does Kate know, meeting Rome after 10 years, will begin a rollercoaster ride. One that brings the good, the bad, the ugly, and a wolf in sheep's clothing.Complete
Bare for you (French Mafia Romance)
Cash I fucked up. Or rather, I'm fucked up. How did I, a high ranking member of the French mafia, allow myself to be distracted by this... stripper?

I let the one advantage we had over them go because I fucking claimed her. What's even worse is that she hates pretending to be my woman and fights me with every single thing. Yeah, it's a fucked up situation but now that I've met her and she's mine, I wouldn't change a goddamn thing. Lux I fucked up. I knew the risk of the Russian men finding out about me but I went along with it anyway. Hell, I almost had to. If you were offered $10,000 to ask a man a few question, would you turn it down?

Hate Me Tomorrow
It started with the fracturing of a nation. After the birth control ban went into effect, the leaders of our country thought they had mended the population crisis, but women aren't that easy to control. They stopped getting married, they chose to live alone, and they embraced careers over family. Single men outnumbered husbands, and the crime rate skyrocketed. Mass shootings became a weekly occurrence. Violence exploded throughout the country. Societal unrest was the norm, and we teetered on the verge of another civil war. The population continued to decline until... ERA 32 The Emergency Reproductive Act of 2032. Before we ever had a chance to plead our case, an order was signed, sealed, and executed. From sea to shining sea, politicians towered over gathered crowds, assuring the masses that a return to the 'Classic Family Model' was America's only saving grace. The next day, the raids began. Single, childless women were forcibly taken from their homes and transported to remote, government-controlled camps. Thousands of names were crossed off lists as trucks delivered them like cattle, trussed up and displayed as God-given gifts to men ready to force them into marriage and into bed. These women were tasked with the burden of inflating the dwindling population and relearning the age-old practices of submission and domesticity, all in the name of patriotism. My name is Tessa. I am one of these women. My new husband's name is Jameson. I am bound to him by government decree. And we are both in hell. (Recommended for mature readers due to graphic language, violence, and adult situations. Listener discretion is advised.)

A quiet job in a quiet town, a routine that never hurt, and a heart too careful to fall for anyone too fast. But then he walked in. The new hire. Mysterious. Impossibly attractive. He had the smile of a gentleman and the presence of a man who'd burn the world to keep your attention. He said all the right things. Held doors. Knew how to make her laugh. And when he looked at her-it felt like she was the only girl in the universe. But love, she learns, can be blinding. And not all monsters hide in shadows. Some wear suits. Some call you "baby." Some hold you like you're a prayer-then break you like a curse. Because he has secrets. Dark ones. Dangerous ones. The kind of truths that can't be buried without blood. So now the real question is... Will she uncover who he truly is-before it's too late? Can love survive when it's soaked in lies and obsession? And when she finally sees the monster behind the man...
