When the lines between the supernatural and humanity blur, only one man stands in the shadows to protect them both.

In a world where vampires, werewolves, witches, angels, and demons walk unseen among humans, The Collective-a powerful secret organization-rules from the shadows. They govern supernatural factions, maintaining fragile peace and balance, but dark forces are stirring, threatening to upend everything.

Gabriel Cross, a hybrid outcast scorned by both vampires and werewolves, has spent his life on the margins, guided by one principle: to protect humanity from the dangers lurking in the night. Cold, calculating, and impossibly alluring, Gabriel thrives in the shadows until a series of gruesome murders draws him into a conspiracy that reaches into the very heart of The Collective.

Lin Harris, a tenacious forensic specialist, stumbles upon an impossible blood sample at a crime scene-one that defies all logic and biology. When her investigation leads her to Gabriel, she finds herself dragged into a world she never knew existed. Determined and unshaken, Lin becomes the only human capable of challenging Gabriel's icy resolve and unlocking the secrets he guards so fiercely.

Together, they must unravel the mystery of the murders, decipher ancient symbols, and confront a ruthless enemy bent on destroying both worlds. But as their partnership deepens, so does the dangerous connection between them-one that threatens to consume them in ways neither anticipated.

Filled with dark intrigue, heart-stopping action, and a magnetic romance that defies fate, The Collective's Shadow is a gripping supernatural thriller about love, power, and the price of fighting against the darkness.

In the battle between the light and shadows, will they uncover the truth-or lose themselves in the process?All Rights Reserved

For ten years, she's endured pain, punishment, and control. Escape has always failed... until now. During a deadly "hunt," she makes her move-only to land in the hands of Connor Kinkade. He's a rogue Lycan, hunted by his kind and hiding secrets of his own. He doesn't want a slave. But to protect her, he has to keep her. She doesn't trust him. He doesn't want to care. But in a world where monsters wear human faces, sometimes the most dangerous person is the only one who doesn't hurt you.

Entangled With the Fae Lord by JMiaDavies

Lorcan Equinox never expects a human woman to awaken the dark, carnal desire he's suppressed for decades--until she defies the very curse that made him untouchable. Season 1 of Fae's Curse *** Amberly Reed was supposed to die the moment she touched the Fae lord. Now, whisked away to his manor in the Faelands, she struggles to thrive in a world where mortals are unwelcome. Her only power here is her seemingly intoxicating effect on Lorcan, who--as much as he clashes and bickers with her--can't seem to stay away. Even so, any relationship between them is forbidden, and could spell certain death for Amberly if it's discovered. But when she learns that Lorcan's curse is slowly killing him, she must discern what her growing feelings mean, and decide if she's willing to risk everything to save him. *** ❝You didn't see it, but every male in that room was eyeing you up. Every damn one. They wanted a taste of you.❞ His voice is dark with envy. I swallow - hard. ❝I wanted to tear off that damned dress and take you right there, to show every leering bastard❞--he begins to move faster--❝that you aren't theirs to take.❞

The Lycan's Flame by hazel_gliipps

Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?

The Forgotten Elements by 760deep

They could command storms, heal wounds, burn armies to ashes... Until greed poisoned their hearts. Until Nature turned against them. Their gifts were sealed, their bloodlines cursed, and their legacy forgotten. But legends have a strange way of returning. In a lonely hostel atop a misty hill, a group of college students are trapped during a storm. An eerie old caretaker begins to tell them the tale of the lost Elements - unaware that the story isn't just a myth. Because something ancient has awakened in those walls. And it wants its power back. A dark romance brews amidst horror and chaos - where love becomes both a curse and a weapon. When destiny ties two souls - one from light, one from shadow - the line between love and destruction begins to blur. ---
