Jaxxon Black
✨ A Novel by Lady Poppy Hawthorne ✨
Hello, my lovely degenerates. Lady Poppy Hawthorne here, your purveyor of premium spice and morally questionable romance. You might know me for pulling back the curtain on the enigmatic author Jaxxon Black in The Jaxxon Black Effect.
Well, grab your fan and a glass of something cold, because we're about to dive into the story that started it all. This is the book Rosie Pope is writing under the Jaxxon Black pen name. A lie, an identity that gives her cover to write her most visceral and favorite enemies to lovers spicy fiction.
Consider this your official invitation into a world of brutal elegance and breathtaking audacity. This is not a gentle romance. It's a collision.
Meet Tamara Wolfe, a critic with a blade for a tongue and a armor of righteous principles. Then meet Silas Thorne, a billionaire who doesn't buy art-he buys souls. He doesn't see her armor; he sees a challenge. He doesn't want her respect; he wants her surrender.
This is a story of violent attraction, shocking luxury, and the high price of a gilded cage. It's about what happens when a man used to owning everything sets his sights on the one woman built to defy him.

Owned By Him | 18+
Owned By Him: Till Death Do Us Apart | A Dark Romance | 18+ Seraphina Blake was born to smile, nod, and obey. A prodigy at the piano and a masterpiece of quiet elegance, she was raised to be seen-not heard. But when her father signs away her future for power and prestige, Seraphina is thrown into a world of sharp suits, colder stares, and a last name that drips with legacy and lies. Damien Thorne is everything she isn't. Billionaire CEO. Heartless. Untouchable. The type of man who doesn't flinch when the world burns-because he's usually the one who lit the match. He never asked for a wife. Especially not one like her. But in a world where love is currency and marriage is war, Seraphina must learn how to survive the empire she was forced into... Even if it means melting the ice around Damien's heart-or letting it consume her. ---------------- The shock stole my voice. I could feel the smooth surface at my back and the heat of his body so close it made my skin burn. My wrists were pinned, and I was trapped. Still, I whispered, "Why are you doing this...?" His voice was low, rough, dangerous. "You play beautifully," he said, his breath ghosting against my skin. "So graceful. So poised. So perfect." For a moment, I almost believed it was a compliment. But then he leaned closer. "But I see past that sweet little act," he whispered. "All the pretty smiles and perfect posture-it's a facade. You're just another spoiled princess playing pretend. But don't bother. You won't fool me." ----------------Complete

Over one hundred years ago, the supernatural came out of hiding. A Great War ensued, causing the human race to fall to the bottom of the food chain and werewolves to come out on top.

To keep the peace with humans, their ancestors developed a treaty; they would not kill mercilessly and in return, every year, all humans of chosen age were to take part in an annual hunt. Those captured did not return, falling victim to the beasts. Ailia Thorne lived in an old, secret village, far away in the mountains and well hidden from the beasts and their yearly hunt.
