Introduction
Then she met Eli Carver.
He was warm where her world was cold, honest where her world was built on hierarchy and silence, and completely, dangerously unaware that the woman sitting across from him in a rain-soaked diner was the only reason three werewolves standing outside had not already torn him apart.
Nora broke every law she was raised to honor the night she chose him over her pack. What she did not know was that her protection of Eli had triggered something ancient sleeping deep inside her blood, a power so threatening to werewolf authority that the hunt for Eli was no longer about law.
It was about silencing Nora before she understood what she was.
Eli Carver fell in love with a beautiful woman. He had absolutely no idea he fell in love with a revolution.
Chapter 1
POV: Nora Ashveil
The rain was doing that thing it always did in Dunmore, coming down sideways, hitting the windshield. I had been sitting in this grey sedan for forty-three minutes, and my coffee was cold, and the man inside the diner was still reading his book.
I watched him through the glass.
He was behind the counter, propped against the register, turning pages slowly.
I was supposed to be filing a behavioral report. I was supposed to be watching for signs of escalation, unusual contacts, any indication that Eli Carver had done more with that photograph than post it online and then delete it.
I had watched him for forty-three minutes, and the most dangerous thing he had done was laugh at his book.
I wrote in my notes: subject displays no escalating behavior. No unusual contacts. Recommend continued low-level monitoring.
Then I looked at the three pack enforcers parked down the block and felt something tighten in my chest.
They were not supposed to be here.
Caldren had sent me for assessment, not action. Assessment meant watching, filing the report, making a recommendation. Action was something else entirely, and the way those three wolves were sitting in that truck with the engine off and their eyes on the diner door told me they had not come here to file anything.
I got out of the car.
The rain hit me immediately, soaking through my jacket. I reached the truck before any of them saw me coming, and I knocked on the driver's window once, hard.
The window came down. The wolf behind the wheel was young, maybe twenty-two, someone I had trained two years ago. He looked surprised to see me, which meant Caldren had not told him I was here.
"Enforcer Ashveil," he said.
"You're off-route," I said. "This sector is under my assessment. Who authorized your presence?"
He looked at the other two. "We got a secondary call," he said. "The Alpha wanted eyes on the exit routes."
"The Alpha assigned me to this sector," I said. "If there was a secondary directive, I would have received it. You're going to pull out now, and you're going to log this as a routing error."
He did not move immediately. I had trained him, but Caldren outranked me, and we both knew it.
I held his gaze and said nothing else.
After four seconds he started the engine.
I stood in the rain and watched them pull away. I turned and looked through the diner window.
Eli Carver had set his book down. He was looking at the door.
Not at me. Just at the door. He picked his book back up.
I stood there a moment longer than I needed to.
When I got back in my car I sat very still and looked at my notes on the tablet. The report said low threat. It said continued monitoring. It said no immediate action required.
I hit submit.
Then I sat there thinking about the way those three wolves had looked at the diner.
My phone buzzed.
I looked at the screen.
Caldren.
I picked up.
"Report," he said. No greeting.
"Subject is clean," I said. "No escalating behavior. No contacts of concern. I'm recommending a second week of low-level observation and then a full clearance."
A pause.
"I saw the patrol redirect," he said.
I did not react. "They were off-route. I corrected it."
"They were there at my direction."
"You didn't tell me."
"I don't need to tell you everything, Nora." His voice was calm. "I wanted redundant eyes."
"I had it covered."
"You had the inside," he said. "I wanted the outside."
I looked at the diner. Eli had moved from behind the counter to refill a customer's coffee at the far end of the room.
"He's not a threat," I said.
"You've been watching him for forty-three minutes."
"That's what monitoring is."
"Extend the watch," Caldren said. "Another week."
"Understood."
A pause again.
"And Nora," he said.
"Yes."
"Don't get close."
The line went dead.
I set the phone down on the passenger seat.
Don't get close. It was a standard directive. I had heard it before. It meant maintain professional distance, maintain objectivity, do not let the subject become a person to you. It was basic protocol.
I knew that.
I also knew that Caldren did not repeat basic protocol unless he had already seen the thing he was warning against.
I looked at the diner one more time. Eli was back behind the counter, back at his book, completely unaware that I existed. Completely unaware that three wolves had just been pointing themselves at his exit routes.
I pulled up the monitoring extension form on my tablet.
I should have filled it out and driven back to the compound.
Instead I sat there for another four minutes looking at the warm light inside that diner and trying to figure out why I had gotten out of the car at all, why I had sent those enforcers away without even thinking about it.
I did not come up with an answer.
I submitted the extension and pulled out into the rain, and I did not look at the diner again.
But I had already decided I was coming back tomorrow.

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...

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.”

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.

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."
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.

Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.

they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
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.
The mafia princess return
To protect what’s mine
The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."
At the tender age of eleven, JoJo Wyatt was forced to grow up far sooner than she should have. Born to a cruel father and a weak mother, she quickly realized she had to become the breadwinner for herself and her sister. Nothing else mattered to her, not even the hottest men.

Meanwhile, Alpha Lake Rush, thirty, was the most feared Alpha in the country. Burdened by his own share of life's struggles, he had learned only to be cruel and reckless, rejecting not one but two mates. But what happens when he discovers yet another mate, and she turns out to be his stripper?
After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
I’d appreciate all your support, thank you so much!
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
