Tangled in Obsession
In the high-stakes world of corporate power, where billion-dollar deals are sealed with a handshake and destroyed with a whisper, one mistake can ruin everything... or ignite a fire that consumes you whole. Sienna Monroe built her empire from the ground up-a ruthless, sharp-tongued powerhouse feared in every boardroom. Her only rule? Never mix business with pleasure, especially not with the man who's made it his life's mission to destroy her career: Vincent Brooks. Arrogant, calculating, devastatingly charming, Vincent is the last man she would ever willingly touch. Until one reckless night changes everything. What began as a heated argument in a secluded Manhattan bar ends in a haze of whiskey, lust, and a single mistake that neither of them can forget. But Vincent Brooks doesn't make mistakes-he makes plans. And Sienna is starting to realize that what happened between them wasn't an accident at all. Now Vincent seems to be everywhere she turns-at her meetings, in her private life, and haunting her thoughts with sinful promises and a hunger that feels dangerously like obsession. The lines between hate and desire blur until every encounter burns hotter than the last. Yet beneath Vincent's controlled, confident exterior lies a man with secrets that could ruin them both-and Sienna is about to discover just how far he's willing to go to possess her completely. When passion turns into a deadly game of power, deceit, and undeniable craving, Sienna must decide: will she fight the man who's always been her enemy... or surrender to the rival who just might be her downfall? Perfect for fans of steamy, suspenseful romance with a razor-sharp edge, Tangled in Obsession delivers a cocktail of enemies-to-lovers tension, intoxicating chemistry, high-powered ambition, and a love affair that's as dangerous as it is irresistible.Lengkap
I Knew You
When the death of Sienna Ross' mysterious uncle leads her to a small town in Washington she quickly learns everything is not as it seems. And when Sienna locks eyes with Alpha Kaden Marsak, notoriously labeled bad news, she knows nothing will ever be the same. . . . Before James or Celie could bicker anymore the bell on the door rung again. This time I was fully aware. I knew the man that walked through the door, his black hair pushed back, white shirt spread over the length of his chest bulk with muscle. I'd met him once in another life, taller than Celie, and even James, stubble littering his jawline and upper lip. I knew him instantly, although I'd never met him- I knew him. He was perfect in every definition of the word and instantly I felt the need to rise from my chair and jump carelessly into his arms like a child. His eyes found mine instantly- familiar eyes dark like midnight surrounded by skin like sand- rough and fighting to stay youthful. He took a staggering step, never dropping his eyes from mine and for a moment he was still like a lion in hunt, not even his chest moved to take a breath. And then like a lion he inhaled sharply and abruptly crossed the floor in a few short strides. Our eyes never moved from each other. "Kaden-" James began as he fearfully followed Kadens glace to me, "She's not a rogue, shes-" He cut him off with a word spoken softly and from deep within his throat, "Mate."

The Villainess Won't Play
Selena Ashford's life was nothing but a monotonous shell-until one fateful morning, she wakes up as Seraphina Ashenveil, the villainess of the very fantasy romance she despises: Whispers of Hearts. Known for its twisted plots and the inevitable death of its villainess, Selena's new life is a nightmare. Ugh.. Why this stupid book!? As Seraphina, she is surrounded by two figures who mark her doom: her ruthless father, Aldric Ashenveil, and the male lead, Caius Valerian, whose cold indifference promises only betrayal. But fate throws her an unexpected twist-she crosses paths with Killian Valmond, the second male lead, a fiercely loyal and annoyingly arrogant knight who dies in a most pathetic yet stupid way for the female lead. Tsk, Cliché. But he is not leaving her side. He sticks with her like she's something which either needs to be guarded or protected. She can't tell which. Stupid Man. Seeking refuge, Seraphina hides in a small village, where the kind-hearted locals accept her without asking questions. Despite her growing frustrations with Killian's persistent presence, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her new reality. Something is off-no one seems to be playing by the rules of the story, and the characters seem eerily alive, drifting away from their roles as if the book itself was a mere myth. Or Maybe.. Is it? Slowly, Selena uncovers unsettling truths that suggest her life, the worlds, everything might be a lie. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Seraphina must decide if she can carve her own path to survival or if she's destined for a fate far worse than the book ever predicted.

As they navigate treacherous landscapes and confront formidable foes, Regina and Colin find themselves forging an unlikely bond. Through shared hardships and moments of vulnerability, their initial animosity gradually transforms into a profound connection. Regina, hardened by centuries of isolation, begins to shed her distrustful exterior, revealing a hidden capacity for tenderness. Colin, in turn, discovers a strength within himself that he never knew existed, fueled by his growing affection for the powerful yet wounded witch.
