In a war-scarred realm where shadows whisper secrets and magic is everywhere, Riley-a legendary thief and shadowmaster-is captured after a failed heist inside the manor of Lord Calvin Hayes Alessio. Riley is offered a cruel bargain: assassinate a foreign futur princess or die to a magical parasite, the Flesh Eater, that could start consuming him from within at any time.
To ensure obedience, Alessio binds Riley to a traveling companion-his young and observant manservant, Percevin, whose loyalties get more and more complicated. As they journey through nosy villages and cursed woods, Riley is forced to confront his past, the nature of his powers, and the growing bond with the one person he was never meant to trust. Survival may demand more than skill-it may demand surrendering everything he once believed.
An unlucky, petty thief and a silent knight-to-be? What an improbable duo...

Under Knight's Spell
The first time Riley sees Alexander Knight, he imagines him between his legs-rough hands, filthy mouth, breaking him apart like he was made for it. Six-foot-three of power and ruin, smelling of smoke and whiskey, looking at him like a man already planning the crime. He hadn't come to the countryside to lose himself. He came for sun, silence, and maybe a little healing. But Alexander is his best friend's father. Powerful. Impossible. The kind of man who commands a room without speaking, whose stare feels like a hand around your throat. One look becomes a touch that tastes like danger. One touch spirals into a night he can't forget. And one night turns into an addiction he refuses to fight. They swore it would only happen once. Summer's heat makes liars of them both. In stolen midnight rooms and against cold walls, Riley learns what it means to be claimed-body, breath, and every trembling, broken part of himself. But secrets echo louder than any moan. And someone is always listening. Under Knight's Spell Of Lust and Legacy: Book 1 By Chase Monre 🔥 Explicit. Forbidden. Deliciously dangerous. Warning: Contains graphic scenes, a taboo age-gap dynamic, and a love so brutal it might break you first.Complete
Something Lies Beneath (Rebels in Bloom Series #01)
Tres has always walked through life alone, carrying silent storms behind his steady gaze. His world was a fortress built on solitude, where trust was a luxury he could never afford. Every scar, every shadow, he bore by himself-because sometimes, the heaviest battles are fought in silence. But one summer, everything changes. He meets someone who cracks open the walls he's long held sacred, revealing that true strength is not the armor we wear, but the fragile light that seeps through the cracks. That vulnerability is not surrender, but the fire that forges resilience. That being broken is sometimes the only way to become whole. In the heat of that summer, Tres will discover a love raw and untamed-one that stirs the depths of his soul and awakens what's been hidden in the shadows. Because beneath every calm surface, beneath every guarded heart, there is always... something lies beneath.
A Crown of Carnations
Sir Astrael was once among the noblest of knights, serving his King with a loyalty deeper than blood and more devout than the most pious of priests. He burned down kingdoms and beheaded the Crown's enemies without question until he found himself at the opposite end of his King's sword, accused of crimes he would never have dared commit. When the royal blade pierced his heart, Astrael's sorrow gave way to an emotion much more dangerous: rage. Perhaps it was the searing heat of that fury that stirred the interest of a God who offered him a chance at vengeance by sending him two years into the past. Now, with his eyes finally opened and his heart burning with hatred, Astrael must find a way to get his revenge on the man who repaid his devotion with betrayal. But to do so, Astrael must join hands with a man whose heart he had once ripped apart, a man more beastly than most, but the only one powerful enough to help him rewrite fate.
