Jazmin Sinclair is used to standing on her own. Heiress to a crumbling family dynasty and drowning in secrets she never asked to inherit, she has one plan: disappear quietly and start over. But when a scandal threatens to destroy everything she's tried to protect, her only option is the last man she should trust-Dominic Anderson
Dominic isn't just a billionaire. He's a kingmaker. Cold, brilliant, and untouchable, he's built his empire on control-and he never does anything without a reason. His offer to marry Jazmin is purely strategic: it keeps her safe and secures him the final piece of power he needs. No feelings. No complications. Just a contract and a ring.
But nothing about their arrangement goes according to plan.
The attraction is dangerous. The chemistry, undeniable.
And the longer they pretend, the harder it is to remember it's all a lie.
As shadows from Jazmin's past resurface. Dominic will have to face the one thing he can't manipulate or predict-his heart. And Jazz must decide if she can trust a man who built his life on ruthlessness... or if love is just another weapon in his hands.

And just when she's ready to tell him, her best friend Ella unknowingly beats her to it. Worse? Zane falls for Ella too. Now stuck helping plan their wedding, Sam's heartbreak is sidelined when her father makes an unexpected request: marry Jacob-the son of his best friend, and Sam's childhood nemesis. The boy she's hated since preschool. The one she once looked at in high school with curled lips-and never looked back. But Jacob isn't who she thinks he is. He's quiet. Guarded. Hiding a secret. As the eldest son of the CiderMoon pack's alpha, Jacob should've shifted years ago. But he hasn't-and he never will. With no wolf and no destined mate, Jacob was already set to marry someone his father chose to secure his fragile place in the pack. That is, until fate binds him to the one girl who's always hated him-Sam. And when that arrangement falls through, Sam becomes the next name on the line. A favor between old friends. A strategic match. What Sam doesn't know is that Jacob has always noticed her. Always wondered why she hated him. Always hoped for a chance... that now might finally come. She wants nothing to do with him. He's never stopped thinking about her. Fate doesn't care what either of them wants. A slow-burn, emotional paranormal romance with enemies-to-reluctant-lovers tension, buried pain, and a love that defies every expectation.

where the thorns grow
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE IS INVITED STRAIGHT INTO THE HEART OF YOUR HOUSE? Seven years ago, Rhysa Jiang ran. She buried her past, chose to start over from a clean slate. She became a near legend, the only female Iron Wolf, deciding to become something new. They've hunted her down ever since, and until now she'd managed to evade their search. But now they've been invited to Sai. The Scarlet Palace. Her only home, her safe haven. And Rhysa has a suspicious feeling she's not going to be able to escape the Falcons' grasp this time. After all, she's a deserter, and those pay in blood around here. Dominic Lang had learnt long ago that Rhysa's past was something that shouldn't be dug up. Sure, he had his suspicions, but after being partners for six years, you learnt to trust someone. And if there was one thing he knew about Rhys, it was that the girl was fearless. So her sudden terror makes no sense. Her sudden caution, her sudden reluctance to even show her face in public is completely baffling. And he'll get to the bottom of this. Because Rhysa Jiang had been hiding the entirety of herself from him for too long, because there was nothing he loved more than a good mystery and challenge, and Rhys might just be the biggest one of all. It was just what friends do. (book #1 of 4 in the court of bones series, the third instalment in the silk and steel chronicles can be read as a stand-alone)Complete
