For some, home means warmth.
For him - it's a territory of control.
Cole Mercer is not a man you want to anger.
A former soldier, callsign Predator 0-1, and founder of the private military company Specter Corps. Dangerous. Charismatic. Powerful. He's used to commanding not only people, but fear itself.
After the war - and the betrayal of his family - there's nothing left inside him but emptiness. And pain. A pain he calls love.
When General Arden invites him to a family dinner, Cole expects nothing more than another tedious evening.
Until he sees her.
Kate Arden - the general's twenty-year-old daughter - is far too gentle for his world.
She hides behind politeness, wears a smile that never reaches her eyes, and breathes carefully in her own home.
Cole sees in her something he lost long ago - purity.
And he decides she will be his home.
His version of family.
But Cole's home is not a place of love.
It's a place of breaking.
Where walls remember screams, and tenderness always has a price.
He will give her everything - attention, protection, desire.
In exchange for the only thing that matters - her freedom.
And when the door finally closes behind her, she'll realize:
sometimes, "home" is the most terrifying place you can enter.

Veins Of Obsession
Grace Calloway is a surgeon, a woman who has learned to hold life and death in her hands. But her true battle lies within herself. Every time she steps into the operating room, she faces an enemy she can't control-her own body, which betrays her at the most crucial moments. Blood, something she should be able to master, is the one thing she can never predict. She learned early in life that control was all that mattered, but that control was shattered long ago. Raised in the suffocating grip of an abusive childhood, Grace learned that survival meant silence. Her parents' cruelty carved scars deeper than the ones she hides beneath her surgical gloves. Yet, she rose from the ashes, donning the white coat and burying her past behind sterile walls. To the outside world, she is the brilliant, composed surgeon. But deep inside, the remnants of her painful history still haunt her, waiting to break free. What Grace doesn't know is that someone has been watching her every move, studying her every flaw. A man who sees her not for the woman she pretends to be, but for the broken girl she truly is. He follows her from the shadows, and though she never notices, he knows her better than she knows herself. His obsession is consuming, a dangerous thread that weaves itself deeper with every breath she takes. He has been waiting for this moment-for her to falter, for her to need him, though she doesn't even know he exists. But there's more to him than Grace could ever imagine. He holds a secret that will change everything.

Heirs of ruin. Bound by blood. Crowned in vengeance. The war didn't end with her father's fall. That was only the beginning. Georgia Sutton has accepted the truth: she's the last of the Carmichael bloodline, heir to a legacy buried in centuries of power, betrayal, and sacrifice. But surviving that truth is something else entirely. The Lords have spoken. To preserve the bloodline and unlock the full power of the threshold, Georgia must enter a ritual bond with Sebastian-the only other living tie to her lineage. It's not about love. It's about lineage. Legacy. Control. And it changes everything. Because Georgia was already chosen-by four dangerous, brilliant, obsessive boys who would raze the world to keep her. A marriage may bind her by blood... but the bond they've built together is something darker. Deeper. Unbreakable. As whispers of rebellion grow louder and the remaining bloodlines fall under attack, Georgia and her kings must form a new alliance-one born not of tradition, but of fire. A new Serpent order. One that doesn't just fight to preserve the old ways... but to rewrite them. But power this great never comes without sacrifice. And queens don't rise without bleeding first. "For every chapter skipped, Gage will smirk. For every backup saved, Kellen gets harder. For every tear shed, Bash will notice. For every unholy scene reread? Jaxon whispers, 'Again.'"Complete

Join them in ups and downs of their relation. ********************************************* I trembled, my voice barely a whisper as I pleaded, "Can I please wear something underneath it? The slit is too high to cover anything." He turned me around, his eyes glinting with mischief. As he knelt down, he spread my legs wide, pushing the lower part of the gown aside. His tongue darted out, laving at my clit, still damp from our earlier encounter. I arched my back, my body convulsing as he devoured me. I clutched the chair, my moans echoing through the room. He intensified his assault, sucking me dry. "Adam... I'm close," I gasped, my voice thick with desire. He paused, his eyes locking onto mine. "The slit is for my convenience," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "So I can play with you whenever I want. No, you can't wear anything that will come between us." ***************************************** Contains mature scenes, abusive language, abuse and dominance of the male lead and his obsession over his love. Please do not go ahead if you do not like reading R rated. You have been warned.
