This is the sister book to Compulsion.  
Captivation presents Caitlin's and Jared's story.
The man walking beside her was anything but safe. Nothing like tedious. Jared was the kind of man Caitlin had fantasies about, someone who knew their mind and didn't allow her father's standing in the community to influence their actions. The man who escorted her toward the dance floor was a law unto himself. She'd heard enough about him to know that he took little notice of protocol and even less of status. He was never short of female company. But she was surprised to find that she had registered on his radar. Sadly she had registered for all the wrong reasons, as far as he was concerned.All Rights Reserved

"So... what about us?" he asked, and I looked at him, a bit bewildered. "What?" I inquired. "You and me... what are we, Sera? You know how you affect me. You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent.

Under a Matra Sky by LucianWard

Kael never wanted to come to Lysena - a matriarchal planet ruled by women, where men's lives are tightly controlled. But when his family's transport ship has to be rescued, they are forced to stay, caught in a society that challenges everything Kael believes about freedom, authority, and what it means to be a man. Stranded with no escape, Kael is forced to face the daily reality of life as a young man on Lysena. He hates the rules. He hates the stares. Most of all, he hates Sari: sharp-tongued, clever, and impossible to ignore. She delights in flustering him, turning every mistake into a game he can't win. But the more Kael resists, the more tangled their rivalry becomes. Every tease, every humiliation, every brush of her hand leaves him flustered in ways he doesn't understand. And when surrender begins to feel less like defeat and more like desire, Kael has to face the truth: maybe he doesn't want to escape this world after all. He swore he'd never bend. She swore she'd make him hers.

The Flower Longed Death by jezxzica

Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected existence in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover art by Erika De Luca on ArtStation This story if the first of a series Word Count: 147,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!

His Ruthless Temptation by Plumavenetta

I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.

Merger by SusanGarod

It was to be a merger rather than a marriage of convenience. She needed to be married, by her thirtieth birthday and he needed to be married to avoid a take-over and to hold on to the firm that had been run by his family for decades. During their one and only meeting over lunch they had agreed on the finer points of this merger. Their engagement would be large and loud. He'd insisted on that. Their wedding would be small and private. She'd insisted on that. They would live together for a year, and they both agreed, it would be sufficient for their situation. A shame it was that simple.

Seduced by the Alphas by Xonereth

You can read the uncut version of this book over on https://archiveofourown.org/works/61769338 Life could be so unfair, everyone adored my big sister Ava, yes everyone. Ava was the most popular girl in school, she was outgoing, beautiful, and shone like a radiant star. Our parents told her she could easily be a model or anything she wanted really, and Ava with all the confidence of a film star strode through life dazzling all in her wake. She had thousands of followers on her Instagram, Whatsapp, and Tic Toc, and what did I have. Well I had a creative streak and an introverted nature, and I lived in Ava's shadow. The only reason it seemed anyone spoke to me was to get my big sister's attention. I felt like a butler or a handmaiden to a Queen. It was like I never had my own identity. No one saw me at all, until that one day someone did, and I remember it like yesterday. Did I make a good decision probably not, would I do it again, I am unsure. But just once someone noticed me, yes me, and it felt so good. It was good at first, but by the time I had realized the good would never last, the jaws of the trap were closed. I was far away and at his mercy, and yet another stood by me, one who could rescue me from my mistakes.

The General's Wife - COMPLETED by AlwaystheRomantic

THE GENERAL Seven days. Just seven days. That was how long it took for Prudence to put a crack in my meticulously built armor. For half of my life, I managed to elude my pursuers-women and enemies alike-by hiding my true identity. And for that same amount of time, I had followed four simple rules: don't let a woman become a distraction, don't become someone's pawn, don't lead by emotion, and don't show mercy unless it is necessary. *** "If you were to ask me about military strategies, I could tell you a dozen ways to defeat your enemies. If you were to ask me about combat, I could show you a dozen ways to defend myself. "But when it comes down to matters of the heart, I have no clue. I don't know how to comfort you. I don't know how to be eloquent about my feelings. "But one thing I can do...is show you."
