She hated him. He made sure of that. Not by accident. Not by mistake. On purpose.
Jenna Jones had a plan. Graduate. Leave. Start a normal life somewhere Jake Maxwell didn't exist. He'd spent years making sure she knew exactly how little she meant to him, and she was done. But something shifted. She didn't know what. Why did he have to suddenly become not as horrible as he'd always been - almost... never mind. She had a plan and she was following it.
Through their story, the reader will learn that things aren't always as they appear. Behind every assumption Jenna ever made - and who could blame her - there's a story she never saw. And behind everything Jake ever did, there was a truth he never knew how to say, because he didn't understand it himself.

Fated In Shadows
She was meant to be his pawn. He never expected her to become his ruin. When Sera Valeor is forced to marry King Maeron Thorne-Aerthwyn's feared and ruthless monarch-she knows the union is a lie, forged in blood and power. Chosen for her noble bloodline but shunned for her family's disgrace, Sera enters the palace as little more than a bargaining chip. But kings should know better than to underestimate a queen in a crimson gown. As Sera uncovers forbidden truths hidden in the palace walls-secrets about the lost queens before her, about the southern wing sealed in silence, and about a child whose blood threatens the very throne-she begins to unravel the lies Maeron has built his kingdom upon. Yet Maeron is not the monster she expected. Cold, calculating, and devastatingly commanding, he holds her body in the dark of night and dares her soul to remain her own. But even wolves bleed. And some thrones are made of more than steel-they're forged in oaths and thorns. Trapped between desire and betrayal, vengeance and destiny, Sera must decide: will she be the king's crown or his curse? Perfect for fans of slow-burn tension, forced marriage, court intrigue, and dangerously seductive rulers, Thorns and Oaths is a darkly romantic fantasy where secrets are currency-and love is the deadliest weapon of all.Complete

Abandoned Revenge
I am Alina Graves. My whole life I was taught to be invisible. Omega. Orphan. Servant. I scrubbed floors in Blackthorn Castle while the alphas feasted, and lowered my eyes when they passed by.

And the bond struck-like lightning to the chest. My mate is Kael Blackthorn, the future Alpha King, whose name is whispered with fear across all the lands of England.

Secretly. Cruelly. Without choice. Now, every glance from him is a brand. Every order is a chain. Every whisper in the castle corridors hints that my blood hides an ancient power capable of destroying the entire kingdom. I was meant to remain broken. But if fate made a mistake in choosing me for him-I will make the world bleed for that mistake.
