Introduction
For years, I loved a boy who made it clear he would never love me back.
Angelo grew up in my father’s house. Once, he was my protector. The boy who stood beside me when we were children.
Then tragedy hit and everything changed.
After that night, Angelo looked at me like I was the reason his life was destroyed.
In high school, loving him became my greatest humiliation. I chased him while he pushed me away. I defended him while he pretended I didn’t exist.
Everyone could see it.
The mafia king’s daughter… begging for the attention of a boy who hated her.
But Angelo was never just a boy.
He was dangerous.
The fights.
The violence.
The whispers about the things he did to people who crossed him.
Still, I loved him.
I thought the worst thing he could ever do to me was break my heart.
I was wrong.
Years later, the same man who spent his life rejecting me becomes my husband.
Not because he wants me.
Because my father made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
What I thought was destiny was nothing more than a bargain.
And when the truth finally destroys me, I try to escape him.
But the man I married is no longer the cold boy from high school.
Angelo Erasmus now controls an empire built on violence and blood.
And the most dangerous thing about him is not the power he holds.
It’s the fact that the man who spent years pushing me away has finally realized something terrifying.
He never stopped wanting me.
Chapter 1
ADORE
My eyes snapped open and landed on my window. It was dawn already.
Today was Angelo's birthday and oh my God, I could barely breathe.
I had been lying awake for most of the night, my stomach doing flips that were equal parts excitement and pure terror. Today was the day. I was finally going to tell him.
I stared at the birthday present sitting on my desk and my chest squeezed tight. I had spent the whole night memorizing what I would say, whispering the words into the dark until they stopped making sense.
I jumped out of bed and dashed into the bathroom. Cold water, uniform, bag. Let's go.
"Wow, what's up with you? You're going to school right now?" Adonis asked, his eyes round with surprise.
Adonis and I were fraternal twins and different in so many ways. He was the heartthrob of every girl in Futham High, blessed with good looks, an athletic body and a brain that actually worked. I on the other hand was always shy, always tripping over myself and as for studying, let's just say my report card was basically a parade of F's. Parallel ones.
The only name I never forgot was Angelo. I would happily fail every single subject if it meant he would be my boyfriend.
Just thinking about that made me smile like an idiot.
"I need to submit an assignment," I told Adonis.
He looked confused but I didn't even glance his way again. He knew I was lying. We were in the same class.
"Come and have your breakfast!" Mom called.
My stomach couldn't handle food right now. Not today.
"I'm late Mom, I need to get going!" I kissed her on the head and dashed out of the house before anyone could stop me.
Only a few students had arrived when I got to school. I sneaked into Angelo's classroom, my heart hammering with every step. I was so relieved to find it empty.
I placed a small note under his locker telling him to meet me at the back of the school library during recess because I had something important to say. My hands were trembling the entire time.
I took a deep breath and turned to leave and almost smacked right into Imogen.
"Watch it bitch," she snarled, glaring at me like I had personally offended her entire bloodline.
"What the hell are you doing in my class?" She eyed me suspiciously and craned her neck to peek inside.
"N...nothing," I stuttered and dashed off before she could say another word.
I could still feel her eyes burning into my back as I turned the corner.
The hallway suddenly came alive with giggles and breathless whispers.
"Futham princes are here."
"They're so handsome."
"I don't know what to do, I'm so in love with both of them."
My heart thundered in my chest. The Futham princes were Angelo and Adonis, the two boys who owned the hearts of practically every girl in this school. Just like they both owned mine.
Adonis was my twin brother and Angelo was my adopted cousin and the boy I had been quietly losing my mind over for longer than I wanted to admit.
I slowly turned but didn't even spare Adonis a glance, my eyes went straight to Angelo. He strode in like he own the place with his helmet in his hand. He was wearing a leather jacket over his uniform.
He had groomed his hair so that they brushed over his shoulders and a single stud of black earring was on his right ear.
He exudes the air of being a bad boy and yes, I know he is a bad boy but the bad boy that I love.
His grey eyes met mine where I was standing and held for just a fraction and in just that single seconds, I forgot to breathe.
I stood there long after he had entered his class until Mica came to drag me inside.
I didn't hear a single word the Maths teacher said. I just sat there staring at nothing, wondering if Angelo had seen my note yet.
"Hey, are you okay? You seem lost," Mica my best friend whispered beside me.
"I'm fine," I whispered back, which was the biggest lie I had told all day.
I was nervous the entire period and honestly couldn't tell if I was relieved or terrified when the school bell finally rang for break.
"Let's go to the school canteen". Mica said but I wasn't listening to her.
I shot up from my seat.
"Not today!" I replied before I dashed off.
"What, wait..."
I didn't stop. Angelo would have seen the note by now and I didn't want to keep him waiting.
He wasn't there when I arrived and I huffed, shifting my weight from one foot to the other. I had practiced this moment a thousand times but standing here alone with the gift tucked in my bag, my heart was going absolutely crazy.
"I love you Angelo," I whispered and immediately shook my head. Too plain.
"Will you be my boyfriend Angelo?" Worse.
"I care a lot about you Angelo and..." I groaned under my breath.
Footsteps.
My whole body froze.
He was here.
I quickly turned away, fixed my hair and dabbed the sweat from my face. One breath. Just one breath.
I turned around with the best smile I had and said, "Hi Angelo."
The smile melted right off my face.
The person standing there wasn't Angelo. Imogen stood in front of me instead, arms crossed and eyes sharp, her three girls lined up behind her like they had been waiting for exactly this moment.

How Not To Fall For A Dragon
Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself. Everyone knows the Academy, it’s where witches sharpen their spells, shifters master their forms, and every kind of magical creature learns to control their gifts.
Everyone except me.
I don’t even know what I am. No shifting, no magic tricks, nothing. Just a girl surrounded by people who can fly, conjure fire, or heal with a touch. So I sit through classes pretending I belong, and I listen hard for any clue that might tell me what’s hidden in my blood.
The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.
Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.
But when everyone else looks at me like I don’t belong, Blake looks at me like I’m a riddle worth solving.
Goddess Of The Underworld
When the veil between the Divine, the Living, and the Dead begins to crack, Envy is thrust beneath with a job she can’t drop: keep the worlds from bleeding together, shepherd the lost, and make ordinary into armour, breakfasts, bedtime, battle plans. Peace lasts exactly one lullaby. This is the story of an orphan pup who became a goddess by choosing her family; of four imperfect alphas learning how to be better. Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a reverse harem, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.
A pack of their own
The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.
Especially - Rule Number One - No Mates
When Draven meets Domonic, he knows that she is his mate, but Draven has no idea what a mate is, only that she has fallen in love with a shifter. An Alpha that will break her heart to make her leave. Promising herself, she will never forgive him, she disappears.
But she doesn’t know about the child she’s carrying or that the moment she left, Domonic decided rules were made to be broken - and now will he ever find her again? Will she forgive him?
The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.

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.
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.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
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.
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.
Invisible To Her Bully
The Lycan Prince’s Puppy
“Soon enough, you’ll be begging for me. And when you do—I’ll use you as I see fit, and then I’ll reject you.”
—
When Violet Hastings begins her freshman year at Starlight Shifters Academy, she only wants two things—honor her mother’s legacy by becoming a skilled healer for her pack and get through the academy without anyone calling her a freak for her strange eye condition.
Things take a dramatic turn when she discovers that Kylan, the arrogant heir to the Lycan throne who has made her life miserable from the moment they met, is her mate.
Kylan, known for his cold personality and cruel ways, is far from thrilled. He refuses to accept Violet as his mate, yet he doesn’t want to reject her either. Instead, he sees her as his puppy, and is determined to make her life even more of a living hell.
As if dealing with Kylan’s torment isn’t enough, Violet begins to uncover secrets about her past that change everything she thought she knew. Where does she truly come from? What is the secret behind her eyes? And has her whole life been a lie?
Falling For The Biker: The Vice President's Girl
His eyes darken, flicking to my mouth.
"It's wrong. Your brother would slit my throat for just standing this close. But tell me, little bird" his breath ghosts my skin, "are you trembling because you hate me… or because you've wanted this just as much as I have?"
Wren thought she'd buried the chaos of New Orleans for good—the clubs, the blood-soaked loyalties, the men who lived and died by their kuttes. Seattle gave her everything she ever wanted: freedom, love, a future.
But one betrayal shatters it all.
Dragged home by tragedy, Wren finds herself under the watchful eye of Ezra Jax—the Raven Reapers MC's vice president and her brother's best friend. He's infuriating, dangerous, and far too tempting for a man she should never touch.
And the deeper Wren is pulled back into his world, the more she realizes nothing about her past—or about Ezra—is what she believed.
In the chaos of gang wars, mounting debts, and old betrayals, he becomes the one constant. The more she fights him, the harder she falls. And the more he pushes her away, the more lethal his pull becomes.
Because in this world, love isn't sweet.
It's brutal. Bloody.
And it's bound to break them both.
When loyalty is everything and love can cost your life, will Wren risk her heart on the one man she was never meant to love?
