Chapter 1
Athena Lemiere
I got out of my car and slung my bag to my shoulder. As usual, all eyes on me because I have a Lemiere as my last name. I opened my sunglasses and slipped it into my V neck shirt. I ran my right hand through my hair and winked to a few guys who were standing in front of the entrance of the school.
I walked towards my locker and opened the lock with my gold card. I opened the locker and put my bag inside. Checking myself on the mirror and taking my favorite mint gum out of my pocket.
"I'll take that."
"Isaac!" I hissed and turned my head to him who was already running away. I took another gum out from my bag and ate it. I looked at the books that neatly organize inside my locker and took a few books for my classes. I closed my locker and started to walk to class.
"Athena Lemiere.. you look hot." I turned my head to see Serena smirking at me as she looked at me from head to toe.
"Serena Cesantio, you don't look bad." I teased and she chuckled. She slipped her arm to mine and we walked together to our first class of the day which is the boring Geography. I mean I love studying about the world because they're beautiful but the problem is that Mr. Ronnie who teaches the class is a very boring person. I can yawn every 10 seconds for 2 hours straight and even Serena sleeps a lot in his class. She collects his detention slip because of it.
"Are you going to the gala dinner tonight?" Serena asked as we walked into the classroom.
"No, I'm lazy and besides I'm going to spend my time in my garage." I said as we walked to the back of the class. She looked at me with a flat face and I raised my eyebrows because it was like she's going to say something.
"Your dad will force you." She said as she's pointing me with her index finger.
"My dad has 4 kids, he can take Isaac or Chase or maybe Caleb." I said as I sat on the chair and put my bag down.
"You're no fun." She hissed and I shrugged.
"Hey, Athena and Serena." Jax greeted and I just nodded a little. Jax is one of the hot jocks at school but trust me, I'm not interested. It's not because he's not an elite or something but I just don't feel the spark or the butterflies.
"Athena.. no way!" I turned to Serena waiting for her to continue but instead of giving me information, she kept looking at her phone with her mouth opened. I took her phone and read whatever she read earlier.
Chase Lemiere : The Redents will transfer into your school today.
My brother announced it in our chat group and I took out my phone as I gave back Serena's phone. I opened the news and yes.. it's full of York Company moving to America news.
"Why the sudden they're moving to America? They're weird." Serena said and I nodded agreeing to her because I thought York Company will always be in England until they die.
"Good morning everyone!" Mr. Ronnie knocked on the door and everyone started to go back to their seats. My eyes caught someone that I knew since I was a kid, it's Xander. He entered the classroom with Mr. Ronnie and automatically he got a lot of stares and winks from the girls in our class.
I turned my head to Serena and she shrugged. I turned my head back to Xander and he's currently scanning the classroom.
"Mr. Redent will join you starting from today. Introduce yourself, Mr. Redent." Mr. Ronnie said as he put his books on the desk and put his glasses on.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xander Redent. Just move here from London, I'm single and available." Xander introduced himself and winked at a few girls who were sitting at the front. I shook my head a little looking at that manwhore flirting his ass off on the first day at school.
"Now.. take a seat please." Mr. Ronnie said and he walked towards us with a little smirk plastered on his lips.
"Hello Serena and Athena, how are you?" He asked as he plopped the chair in front of Serena. I smiled looking at him because it's been a really long time since I've seen him.
"I'm good.. so you're a manwhore now?" I asked as I raised my eyebrows.
"What can I say.. girls love me." He smirked and winked at me.
"What an asshole.. lunch with us?" Serena asked and he turned to me. I nodded signaling that I'm good with it so he nodded.
"Is he boring?" He asked as he's pointing to Mr. Ronnie.
"I heard that, Mr. Redent." I turned to Mr. Ronnie who already glaring at Xander. He sat up straight and pretended that he didn't do anything.
"Weirdly.. I miss you." I said truthfully because we do get along with each other so well. He's a cool guy and fun to be with so I'm not protesting about it.
"We all miss you, you're such an asshole for not visiting us." Serena hissed as she kicked his chair.
"Sorry.. but now I'm here. I'm all yours!" He said in a cocky tone and I just chuckled. Mr. Ronnie gave us a cough for not paying attention so I turned my eyes to the front trying to pay attention but still.. i'm sleepy.
For the whole 2 hours, I kept sketching my book completely, not listening to Mr. Ronnie's speech because if I do.. I will go to sleep. He has the same tone as my dad when he's reading me a bedtime story. Well I guess my dad did succeed turning me to sleep so does Mr. Ronnie.
I rather spend my time in my garage.. I hate school.

Bella and Her Beast
.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
Pawn of the Starless God
Instead, a god found me.
One moment, I was bleeding beneath the neon glow of the city, my life slipping through my fingers. The next, a glowing blue screen appeared before my eyes, offering me a choice that was never really a choice at all.
Accept the Summoner’s Mark. Or die.
Now I belong to the Death Game — a brutal cosmic system where ordinary people are turned into Players, thrown into impossible missions, and forced to survive horrors designed for the amusement of gods.
Every trial has rules.
Every monster has a weakness.
Every victory comes with a reward.
And every reward makes me less human.
My name is Nerissa Valehart, and I refuse to be anyone’s pawn.
But surviving the Game means trusting the one man everyone warns me to fear.
Veyren Ashford is ruthless, powerful, and dangerously beautiful — a veteran Player with blood on his hands and secrets in his soul. He says attachment will get me killed. He says love is a weakness the Game always punishes.
Yet when death comes for me, Veyren is the one standing between us.
In a world where gods gamble with mortal lives, monsters hunt from the shadows, and desire may be the deadliest weakness of all, I have only one goal:
Survive long enough to cross the board.
And make the Starless God regret choosing me..............
The Dragon's Last Fae Queen
“Prince? Dickhead? Asshole? Or stalker?” A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips. “Maybe I should show you the one title I want you to use.” Before I could react, his hand closed around my chin, tilting my face up. His lips crashed into mine, hard, claiming, breath-stealing. When he finally pulled back, his voice was a rough whisper against my lips. “You could call me yours… because you are mine.”
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
Mated to Her Alpha Instructor
Weeks later, our new Alpha combat instructor walks in. Regis. The guy from the woods. His eyes lock on mine, and I know he recognizes me. Then the secret I've been hiding hits me like a punch: I'm pregnant.
He has an offer that binds us tighter than ever. Protection… or a cage? Whispers turn ugly, darkness closes in. Why am I the one without a wolf? Is he my salvation… or will he drag me to ruin?
Where The Ice Gives Way
Blake Atlas scents his mate the moment Charlotte arrives. The bond hits hard and unmistakable, but Charlotte doesn’t recognise it. She doesn’t know why her chest keeps pulling toward the one boy she absolutely cannot afford to want. Blake is Charlie’s new hockey captain. Charlie’s chance at making something good. Charlie makes it clear; his sister is off-limits and Blake tries to do the right thing, but secrets don’t stay buried forever. Rogues prowl the edges of town. The ice cracks. The bond tightens. Then Charlotte’s rare white wolf awakens, the very thing that makes her powerful, also makes her a target.
Shanti needs Shakti. (Peace needs strength.)
Where the Ice Gives Way is a slow-burn YA paranormal romance filled with fated mates, protective alpha energy, fierce sibling loyalty, found family pack bonds, hurt/comfort, and quiet, aching tension. It’s a story about first belonging, learning to be cared for, and what happens when the girl who has always held everyone else up finally falls, and someone catches her.
They'll Regret This
My fiancé didn't just dump me—he proposed to her that same night. My so-called family handed me bus fare and a one-way ticket to the countryside.
Perfect. Let them think they won.
They don't know who I really am. The anonymous genius surgeon who saves lives when elite hospitals give up. The legendary artist whose paintings sell for millions at auction. The undefeated shadow queen of the underground fighting circuit. And the true heiress to a fortune that makes theirs look like pocket change.
Now my ex-fiancé begs on his knees. My fake sister's jealousy is eating her alive. And that cold, arrogant CEO who once threw our engagement contract in my face? He's hunting me down like a man possessed, desperate for one more chance.
They threw me away like trash to upgrade their lives.
Joke's on them.
I was always the upgrade.

He paused, his gaze never leaving mine.
"And I don't share what's mine."
☆
I died on my son's death anniversary, betrayed by the man I'd devoted my entire life to, and the woman who stood by, smiling as I took my last breath… was my very own sister.
When I opened my eyes again, I was five years in the past—before the betrayal, before my death and before the beginning of it all.
This time, I refused to marry the man who destroyed me.
Instead, I walked straight into the arms of the only man the entire Empire feared—Crown Prince Alpha Rhaedon Ashkaar.
Rhaedon was everything Lucien wasn't.
Dangerous. Competent. Powerful.
And the perfect weapon for my revenge.
He wanted the throne. I wanted vengeance.
It should have been the perfect alliance, but revenge was never that simple.
With every step I took toward my revenge, another secret from my first life came to light. The deeper I dug, the more I realized I wasn't the only one playing this game.
And by the time I uncovered the truth...
Walking away from Rhaedon Ashkaar was no longer an option.

But freedom comes with a price.
Tali is forced to face the father she believed abandoned her and a powerful council determined to use her for their own ends. Stranger still are the abilities awakening within her—powers no one understands, yet everyone seems desperate to control.
As she learns to trust, she chooses the mates destined to stand beside her. In their arms she finds love, devotion, and a family worth fighting for. But not everyone wants their bond to survive.
When the council betrays the Protectors and attempts to steal her newborn son, it ignites a war that will shake every realm.
Now Tali stands at the center of a conflict far greater than herself. The answers to ancient mysteries, the fate of her child, and the future of countless worlds all rest on her shoulders.
Surrounded by mates who love her fiercely and refuse to leave her side, Tali will battle enemies old and new, forge powerful alliances, and discover just how strong she truly is.
Because this war won't be won for her.
It will be won with her.
And together, they will fight for their future, their family, and a love worth crossing realms to protect.
