She was trained to kill. Now she's being forced to marry the one man she swore she'd never trust.
Lily has lived her life in the shadows-a secret assassin with blood on her hands and a mission in her heart.
Until the day her sister runs away-one hour before her arranged wedding to Veren Wolfsbane, the ruthless and enigmatic heir to the Wolfsbane mafia empire.
To prevent chaos between powerful families, Lily is forced to take her sister's place at the altar. One problem: she hates Veren. Arrogant, cold-blooded, and dangerously charming, he's everything Lily has learned to destroy.
But marriage to a mafia don isn't just about vows and diamonds-it's about loyalty, power, and secrets. Veren has plenty of his own. So does Lily.
And one of them could get the other killed.
As tensions simmer and their twisted game of hate and attraction begins to burn, Lily must navigate a deadly new life where love could be her greatest weakness... and Veren might just be her most dangerous target yet.
"He's the devil in a suit. She's the blade at his throat."

"The Bride He Couldn't Let Go"
She was just 21-fragile, sick, and silent. An introverted girl with a tired soul and no strength left to fight the world. He was 30-feared, ruthless, and deeply broken. Istanbul's most dangerous mafia don, a man known for his cruelty, his cold blood, and the enemies that hunted his name. He never planned to keep her. One look, and he knew she deserved a gentler world-one without blood on its hands. So he let her go.... thinking it was the kindest thing he'd ever done. But destiny is never that merciful. Because sometimes, no matter how far you run or how cruel the world may seem, **some souls are meant to find their way back to each other.** When he saw her once again -soft, quiet, and unlike everything he had ever known-he couldn't walk away this . So he didn't. Instead, he **forced her family to marry her off to him**, threatening everything they held dear. But she was too ill to fight it. Too weak to stand at the altar. Too unaware to even know her life had changed forever. A love born in shadows. A marriage sealed in silence. And a story that proves even the coldest hearts can burn with love again. ---

Chained to the Beast
"He killed the old Alpha. Now he owns me." I was told to stay silent. Invisible. One mistake in the shadows... and now I'm promised to the most feared Alpha alive. Nikolai is brutal, merciless-my fated mate. He'll teach me to shift. Protect me from my own blood. Burn my father's pack to ash. But the closer I get to my wolf, the more dangerous our bond becomes... Because in this world, love is war-and I'm done being the prey. The night Alpha Nikolai takes the throne is meant to mark a new era for the Bloodfang Pack. Brutal, untouchable, and forged in blood, Nikolai has no patience for weakness-only strength earns his respect. Penn has neither power nor presence. At least, that's what her father wants everyone to believe. Hidden at the back of the ceremony, her father's orders are clear: Be silent. Be unseen. The triplet betas-her brothers-make sure of it. But when Nikolai's second-in-command, the dangerously magnetic Alexi, finds her in the shadows, sparks fly in a way Penn has never known. One stolen moment turns into forbidden heat-until her brothers drag her away, humiliated, shamed... and thrown into her father's car like a prisoner. Back inside, her father strikes a deal: an alliance sealed by marriage. His daughter-Penn-will be Nikolai's Luna. Nikolai doesn't want a mate... but fate has other plans. The deeper Penn steps into her destiny, the more dangerous her old pack becomes. When a traitor leaks Nikolai's plans for revenge, Penn's family will stop at nothing to reclaim-or kill-her. Now, with her wolf awakening and enemies closing in, Penn must decide whether she will be the silent shadow her father moulded... or the Luna who will burn his empire to the ground.
