Selene Vance has always been captivated by art-the way it reflects the beauty and complexity of life. When she stumbles upon Damien Cross's art gallery, she's immediately entranced by his works, each one darker and more compelling than the last. Damien, the gallery's owner, is a man of contradictions-on the surface, sweet, compassionate, and caring, yet beneath it all, he harbors a dangerous obsession with the idea of love.
A single interaction changes both of their lives forever. As Selene is drawn into Damien's world, she finds herself entangled in a relationship that is both mesmerizing and unnerving. She is unaware of his darker intentions, of the obsession that has already begun to consume him, and the dangerous lengths he's willing to go to make her his own.
For Damien, art is not just a passion-it's a way to capture, control, and possess. And Selene, the one person whose love could either redeem him or push him over the edge, has unwittingly become the latest masterpiece in his twisted vision of what love can be.

SEX AND SINS (The Alpha's Forbidden Claim)
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.

Almost Alive
You think you know the game. You think you know who's watching, who's chasing, who's winning. Alex thought so too. But obsession is a funny thing - it blurs the line between predator and prey, love and possession, freedom and a beautifully crafted cage. When Alex meets Claire, it isn't love at first sight. It's something deeper. Darker. A need to understand, to possess, to know. But Claire is no ordinary mark. She's patient, calculating, always one step ahead - and by the time Alex realizes he's being played, it's already too late. As the seasons unfold, Alex spirals deeper into Claire's labyrinth of mind games and cold-blooded manipulation. His life unravels, his sanity fractures, and the only thing more dangerous than his obsession... is the moment he decides to end it. In this twisted psychological thriller, no one escapes untouched. Not the hunted. Not the hunter. And certainly not the ones who think they're in control.Lengkap
