The Offering
Almost a century ago, the fae discovered they could no longer bear children-and humanity paid the price. A treaty was forged: The Offering. Once every couple of decades, young fertile women are taken from their homes and delivered to the fae realm, destined to become wives for fae lords. Treasured. Trapped. Chosen. Daella always knew it could happen to her. But when the fae come, she isn't ready. And she sure as hell isn't willing. Now forced to live inside a gilded palace among the other chosen, Daella must learn the ways of the fae world-obedience, grace, and silence. She refuses. Her defiance draws the attention of the three fae princes, each bound by duty... and each dangerously intrigued by the human girl who dares to fight back. As desire grows and loyalties are tested, Daella begins to unravel the lies behind the treaty that stole her freedom. And in a realm built on secrets and power, she might be the spark that sets everything ablaze.

Broken but Sharp : Our last mission - Volume 2 (Reverse Harem)
!! FOR MATURE AUDIENCE!! (16+) (Trigger Warning (TW) list at the beginning of the book, please refer to it) ❤️ This story is a ⚠️REVERSE HAREM⚠️ (a girl in a relationship with multiple men). This book contains over 170,000 words and is the ⚠️SECOND and FINAL⚠️ volume. It's the sequel to Volume 1 (Broken but Sharp: Our Dangerous Mission), which you can find on my profile! This story takes place in only two volumes despite it being an Inverted Harem. It's for a simple, chill and stress-free read. Especially for those who don't necessarily like long sagas. I hope you'll like it. By reading my writing, you agree to be my favorite people in the world, but also to become my beta readers to give me your feedback. Feel free to leave me your comments (positive or negative) at the end or even throughout; it would make me very happy. And it would also really help me improve. ❤️❤️❤️ Summary: Derius, Grime, Zod, Sacha, and Ashen have failed in their duty: to protect their mission at all costs. Everyone thinks the young woman is dead, but not them. They can't accept it. Especially when the only thing keeping them from falling apart is hope. Especially when the truth of their feelings could destroy and heal them. Catilia jumps from a helicopter in mid-air to save the five men she loves. She's recovering with difficulty, but her healing requires a lot of effort and energy, especially since she finds herself in enemy territory. Despite the perilous, painful, and complicated situation she finds herself in, Catilia has only one thing on her mind: to find the five handsome soldiers with whom she has fallen in love, despite herself. I hope you enjoy reading and have a good time ❤️❤️Complete

The Unbound
Born to be a legacy, I was meant to lead-until my powers never manifested. My parents called me a failure, a pawn to marry off for their schemes. So, I ran.

For three years, I've lived in the shadows, trying to survive. But now, I got dragged back to the academy, my duties, and the dangerous games of power and survival. Life and death are daily lessons here. My Nexus despises me, my enemies want me dead, and everyone thinks I'm broken. A girl with no powers. But they can't know the truth. My powers are a secret I must protect at all costs. *this is a why choose/reverse harem book where the FMC ends up with more than one partner *this story is a work of fiction *this book will contain smut (later in the story)
A COURT OF SHIFTERS AND SECRETS
Finding out that your parents, the people that raised you your whole life, weren't your actual parents was hard. Being told at the ripe ol' age of eighteen that you're the last living member from an Ancient Shifter line, the one responsible for creating the First Shifters, was inconceivable. Especially when a group of assassins were on their way to exterminate me simply for just existing. Kidnapped from my bed by three extremely stunning and grumpy Alphas, and forced to attend a special Shifter University located in the middle of nowhere, I have to navigate an unfamiliar and unknown secreted world while simultaneously trying avoiding those who want to use my lineage to enact an age-old curse. Join Nova Nyx as she's dragged into a world full of Shifters, Secrets, and Startling Surprises. ~~~ "Mates?" I repeated owlishly, blinking rapidly at the one worded bomb they just dropped on me "What are Mates?" Instead of answering my question, they just stared back at me in silence, arms crossed over their broad chests. I ignored their silence, choosing to focus on second part of their sentence. "And you're telling me I have three of them?" I gawked "How many are you supposed to get? I can barely handle myself and my life at this point and you want me to worry about three other people?" Of course the most annoying man I've ever met smirked at my bafflement. "I don't think it'll be such a hardship for you" he said, arrogance lacing his tone "After all, I hear these three Mates of yours are very self-sufficient." "Don't forget extremely gorgeous" his Buffon of a friend chimed in, winking at me "That's a plus for you Princess." "One," the third one growled out at me, finally speaking up and adding subsistence to the conversation, startling the banter from the other two "You're only supposed to be blessed with one Mate in your entire lifetime."Complete
