Introduction
Abandoned by my father and sent to the countryside while still a child, I finally returned home, only to be swiftly discarded once more—this time, to a mental institution at my stepmother's behest.
It was not until three years later that I was released, my freedom bought solely for the purpose of taking my stepsister's place in marriage to the Sterling family.
"The Sterling family's wealth is beyond measure, and William Sterling is a rare and worthy gentleman. To marry into their house in your sister's stead is a blessing—don't forget your place!"
Yet all knew that William, crippled in a car accident, was no longer who he once was—moody, volatile, and, as rumors went, not long for this world
No one could have foreseen that after our wedding, William's legs would miraculously heal.
And only then did they begin to realize that this new young female was far from ordinary. As the truth was unearthed, they were left in astonishment.
This woman was a true queen.
Chapter 1
Rain lashed against the windows of the Eden Valley Mental Rehabilitation Center.
Inside the director's office, Dr. Jenkins was shaking. He wasn't shaking from the cold, but from the woman sitting across from him.
Anna Rice sat with her legs crossed, lazily flipping through her discharge papers. She wore a plain hospital gown, yet she looked like a queen inspecting her subjects.
"Dr. Jenkins," Anna's voice was soft but sent a chill down his spine. "My hand hurts from the slap I gave you earlier. I hope your bald head is okay."
Dr. Jenkins rubbed his shiny scalp, forcing a terrified smile. "It—it was my honor, Ms. Rice. The car from the Rice family is here. You are free."
"Free?" Anna stood up. "Three years. My father finally remembers me."
She walked out of the office. The moment she stepped into the corridor, the chaotic noise of the asylum instantly vanished.
Dozens of patients—violent, unstable, dangerous—stood lined up against the walls. As Anna passed, they lowered their heads in absolute submission. No one dared to breathe loud.
In three years, Anna hadn't just survived hell; she had tamed the demons.
Outside the iron gates, a red sports car was waiting. Lucy Fox leaned against it, waving frantically.
"Get in! I can't believe they finally let you out!" Lucy yelled.
Anna slid into the passenger seat, her expression unreadable. "Did you find the information?"
Lucy handed her a tablet as she sped away. "William Sterling. The eldest grandson of the Sterling family. Five years ago, a car accident left him paralyzed from the waist down. He's rumored to be cruel, disfigured, and possibly impotent."
"Perfect," Anna murmured, scrolling through the file.
"Perfect?" Lucy glanced at her, horrified. "Anna, your father is using you as a bargaining chip! He wants you to marry a cripple just to secure a business deal. Why did you agree?"
Anna cradled her flat belly. Her eyes darkened.
"Because the doctor who delivered my baby three years ago works for the Sterling family."
Three years ago, she was drugged, slept with a mysterious stranger, and became pregnant. After giving birth, her stepmother, Penelope, told her the baby was stillborn and threw her into the asylum.
But Anna knew the truth. She had heard the baby cry. Her child was alive.
"I will marry William," Anna said steadily and resolutely."I will find my child. And as for the Rice family..." She touched the precious bracelet on her wrist. "I'm going to burn their world down."
The Rice Mansion.
"Mom! I won't do it! I won't marry a monster!" Megan Rice smashed a vase on the floor, screaming. "Dad said if Anna refuses, I have to go! William is a cripple and a psychopath!"
Penelope Howard hugged her daughter, smiling viciously. "Don't worry, my darling. Anna is a mental patient with no money and no power. She has no choice. She will beg and thank us for finding her a husband."
"Is that so?"
A cold voice interrupted them.
The heavy oak doors swung open. Anna walked in, wearing a simple dress Lucy had bought her, but her aura filled the room with suffocating pressure.
Penelope froze. This. wasn't the broken girl she sent away.
"Anna!" Penelope quickly masked her shock with arrogance. "How dare you be so rude, barging in without knocking like some wild animal? Is this what you learned in that place?"
Anna walked straight up to them. She didn't stop until she was inches from Penelope's face.
"I learned many things in the madhouse, Stepmother," Anna tilted her head, a dangerous glint in her eyes. "Like how to deal with pests."
"You—"
"I heard you want me to marry into the Sterling family in Megan's place," Anna interrupted, glancing at the terrified Megan. "I agree."
Penelope and Megan let out a breath of relief.
"But," Anna added coldly. "I have a condition."

Oops, Wrong Girl to Bully
My back hit the desk. Pain exploded through my skull.
"Girls like you don't get to dream about guys like Kai." Bella's breath was hot on my face. "You don't get to write pathetic love letters."
She shoved me again. Harder.
"Maybe if you weren't such a desperate little—"
I fell. My head cracked against the corner.
Warmth trickled down my neck. Blood.
Their laughter turned to gasps.
The door slammed.
I tried to stand. Couldn't. The room was spinning, fading to black.
Someone... please...

"You got until Monday," the tattooed gangster sneered at Aria's mother. "Ten grand cash. Or I'm taking collateral—your kids' organs fetch top dollar. That pretty daughter of yours? She could make us money another way too."
Now Angelina's lethal combat skills awaken in this fragile body. No more hiding. No more fear.
Armed with an Alpha's ruthlessness and a mysterious blood-red pendant, she'll dismantle everyone who hurt this family—one calculated move at a time.
The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

Will Booker be able to find the source of the threat before it's too late?
Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.

My Possessive Alpha Twins For Mate
My drunk stepfather remained indifferent, his weight suffocating, making it hard to breathe as my heart raced.
Suddenly, the door slammed open, and two figures burst in.
"Get off her!" a deafening roar echoed.
I didn't expect the twin brothers who'd bullied me at school to come charging in like gods to save me.
After my grandmother passed, I had to move in with my mom and stepdad, who treated me like a servant. I prayed every day for my 18th birthday to come, so l could leave and escape this broken home.

To make matters worse, the Moon Goddess revealed they were both my mates!
After helping me out with my stepdad, my twin mate cornered me, played with my hair, and whispered possessively, "You belong to us, our little mate..."
A Lesson in Magic
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
Accidentally Crossing the Tycoon
Four years ago, the Bailey family faced a devastating financial crisis.
Just when bankruptcy seemed inevitable, a mysterious benefactor emerged, offering salvation with one condition: a contract marriage.
Rumors swirled about this enigmatic man—whispers claimed he was hideously ugly and too ashamed to show his face, possibly harboring dark, twisted obsessions.
Without hesitation, the Baileys sacrificed me to protect their precious biological daughter, forcing me to take her place as a pawn in this cold, calculated arrangement.
Luckily, in those four years, the mysterious husband never asked to meet in person.
Now, in the final year of our arrangement, the husband I've never met is demanding we meet face to face.
But disaster struck the night before my return—drunk and disoriented, I stumbled into the wrong hotel room and ended up sleeping with the legendary financial mogul, Caspar Thornton.
What the hell am I supposed to do now?
