"Fear shows first. Hide it."
She learned that rule. By eighteen, she knew all the others too.
"You survive as long as you're useful."
"Don't ask - make them want to give."
"Everyone lies. The only question is why."
Ten years. A voice that taught her to read people by their hands, their pauses, the things they don't say. A captor who shaped her into something sharp, controlled, and perfectly obedient.
Then one morning, a door was open. And she ran.
But the voice didn't stay behind.
Now Elara is free - and freedom looks nothing like she imagined. A duke who shouldn't have helped her did. A court she was never supposed to re-enter is waiting. And the man who made her is still out there, patient in the way only someone certain of the outcome can afford to be.
The only question is what everyone wants in return.
"The one who thinks they control the game has already lost."
She just doesn't know yet who he was talking about.

Shades Of Us
Rosalind Hart Power has a voice. Low. Controlled. Velvet wrapped steel. And when it called my name, I answered... without hesitation. I only came to Infernum for a job. Just a few hours of bookkeeping, buried in the quiet corners of a club that pulsed with secrets. But nothing here is quiet for long. Lucian Black. Zane Romano. Xander Wolfe. Kade Riven. Men who command the room like the world owes them worship. Their gazes pinned me, branded me like a promise and a threat wrapped in silk. "You don't run from us, little Rose," Lucian whispered, brushing his thumb against my lip. "You kneel." I should've been terrified. But instead... I trembled. Not with fear. With need. Because there's something terrifyingly beautiful about surrendering to men who could destroy you. Something addictive about being seen, truly seen by eyes that strip away your defenses. They didn't ask for my heart. They claimed it. Silently. Completely. And I think... A part of me always wanted to be claimed. © 2025 by S. All rights reserved.

She's not backing down until she finds and extinguishes her mother's killer, but this mission is going to be the hardest she's ever had to take on. It's a damn good thing Lorelei loves a challenge. ------------❦------------- *Unedited* [CONTENT WARNING: This book contains strong adult themes.

Forever Yours
"I'd stop looking at him if I was you Tesoro" Matteo growls, stepping in front of me, successfully blocking my view of the male. "I'm a jealous man. I don't share what is mine!" He pulls me into his body, one arm wrapping around my lower back while the other grabs my chin making me look up at his stunningly serious face. "We don't like to share!" Enzo whispers in my ear, coming up behind me on the left, his body heat setting me on fire. "I. Am. Not. Yours!" I shout, my temper spiking at their close proximity. I cannot think when they are this close. "Am I fuck getting on that plane!" A deep chuckling laugh comes from my right, squashing my body between the three of them, caging me in. My breath hitches in my throat, as Angelo fists my hair, tipping my head back slightly so that I can see the smirk that is on his face. "Bellezza... What makes you think you have a choice?" -------- If I had known what walking into the bank that cold Tuesday morning would have done to my life, I probably would have stayed in bed. If I had known that I was going to be kidnapped by not just one man but three, claiming me to be their 'mate' I would have ran screaming. If I had known the life that I was walking into was definitely not going to be mondain and boring like my old one, I probably would have still tried to stay away. But instead I have been stolen away from my home, everyone that I know and love and being forced to go on the run with these three monsters.
Twisted Promise
Rhett's mouth curves, not really a smile. "Don't make promises you can't keep, Little Sister." My chest puffs up. "I mean it." I insist. He stares at me for a long moment, something flicking in his eyes, something sharp. He smiles before he leans forward and presses his forehead against mine. "We'll hold you to it." Knox's fingers tighten on my wrist. "Do you know what happens when you break a promise?" Vaughn's voice was quiet but heavy. "You get punished." *They are NOT blood-related.

"I know you're scared, and I know you're angry. You're probably thinking about the most brutal way you'd like to kill me right now." He chuckled and looked at Emerson as if she could respond; as if she would laugh. "But you're home now. You're home..." he continued happily, changing his tone, now speaking as if the situation couldn't be more ideal. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this day. Waiting to see you in front of me, right where you belong, so we can finally start our life together." TW: kidnapping, violence, non-consensual relationship, harsh language, and more.
