Introduction
Their worlds were never meant to clash, but through knowing each other their lives unraveled.
"Don't think about Malcolm because I am not him. I will treat you better, give you the desires of your heart, showered you with kisses that will make you weak at the knees, even go as far as giving you my heart, but just don't leave me," he said looking lost as he pulled her closer supporting her some more.
"No, no, not again," I murmured as my heart rate increased.
"Then this is what is going to happen. Tomorrow we are getting married I don't care if you have to be in bed for the ceremony but so be it. We are going to live together as man and wife, and I am going to f***k that idiot out of your system until I am the only one in your mind, until you long for only my touch.....
Chapter 1
"What the..." Marcellus Martinez cursed as he swerved his car out of the road.
Out of nowhere a woman had run onto the empty street clutching her stomach. It was raining cats and dogs as he stepped out of his car ready to shout at the crazy lunatic.
"What is your problem? Matter of fact woman are a nuisance, can't you see where you are going?"
"Please help me," she whispered before passing out.
Looking down at the still, bleeding figure he muttered a string of curses under his breath as he contemplated on what to do. A car slowed down coming to a halt as the driver jumped out of the car.
"What happened," she asked pulling out her phone.
"I don't know, she just ran out of nowhere," he said in a flat tone.
"Help me get her into my car. She is losing a lot of blood," the woman yelled out.
Lowering down he scooped her up as her head rested on his shoulder. A flash of lighting illuminated the sky as he walked towards the woman's car whilst he caught a glimpse of the woman making him frown. Placing her in the car he turned to leave without as much as a backward glance.
"Wait where are you going? I need your help. We need to slow down the bleeding."
"Do I look like a medical doctor to you?"
The woman looked shocked as he continued to walk away from the car.
"Please sir," she called out as he reached his car. Sighing he locked his car after parking it away from the road and headed back to the other car.
"You can drive," she said as she slid into the back of the car.
Nyasha's POV
"Miss. Can you try sit up for me," I heard as I opened my eyes to find myself in a cool, sterile room.
Each movement was painful. Malcolm had really done a number on me as I looked down to find think bandages around my abdomen.
You are probably wondering what happened to me, and who Malcolm is.
Malcolm is my husband and he is the reason I am in hospital. After spending all of his salary on alcohol with his buddies he expected for me to provide a meal when he refused for me to work resulting in no food being present in the house. This was not the first time tasting my own blood in my mouth, but it was the first time being admitted into hospital. Now aside from worrying how I would face him again, I wondered where I would get money for the hospital bills.
"Ma'am can you hear me," Dr Alexis said with a worried look as I caught sight of her name tag.
"Hmmm, yes, yes. I am fine thank you. I need to leave. How much is all this going to be?"
"Don't worry the bill has already been taken care of."
Looking at her completely puzzled, I asked who had paid as she began telling me what had happened. Handing over the card I looked at the name. Marcellus Martinez it read.
"Martinez, Martinez. As in Marcellus Martinez of Martinez Industries. No anyone else but him," I cried. "He was Malcolm's boss and from what Malcolm had mention the man was ruthless. Never talking much but had a sharp temper.
"He helped me bring you here. Just go thank him at least," Alexis said knowing what must have been going on in my mind.
"Umm Mr Martinez?" He heard his secretary mutter.
"Spit it out. I don't have all day."
"You have a visitor," she said looking at the bedraggled state of Nyasha with a frown. She stood out like a sore thumb, her dark chocolate skin, short hair and oversized clothes.
"Five minutes is all I have to spare," he said ending the call.
"You may go in," the secretary said looking worried.
Knocking on the door she waited to hear a response. Hearing his deep clipped voice she entered the office her heart hammering against her chest. As she walked in he kept staring down at his papers a scowl marking his features. As he looked at her she felt ashamed as blue eyes roamed from her toes to her head. This was her best dress but knew in others eyes it looked pathetic.
"How may I help you," he said with a frown.
"I..I I'm the lady you saved yesterday. I just wanted to say thank you," she said softly before looking down. "If there is any way I can repay you please let me know. So I can at least pay off my debt to you."
"Do I look like I am in need of anything? Like I am lacking?"
"No, not at all sir," she said as she began to tremble out of fear.
He frowned at her state before saying, "If you are done I have a meeting to attend to. I am sure you know the way out."
Walking out of his office she spotted Malcolm who had an angry scowl on his face.
"Don't even think of coming home if you want to live. You are an embarrassment," he said angrily.
As Marcellus left his office he saw the exchange between Malcolm and the young lady from earlier.

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.
Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
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...
HER ALPHA, HER SAVIOUR
Kane Hellboud, charm and wealth personified, wanted only me in exchange for her treatment. No cameras, isolation, or noose-like rules were part of the deal. Behind his smile? Cold, violent possessiveness that destroyed our fake marriage.
Most of all, I didn’t know the supernatural walked among us, hiding in the cracks of ordinary life. Not until Abel Stone stepped into mine—dark-eyed, sharp-tongued, and oozing dangerous promises. He’s my new boss. He shouldn’t make my skin tingle or my pulse race. I shouldn’t feel this primal pull, this illogical recognition that tugs at something deep in my bones.
Around him, lights burst, electronics fry, and something ancient in me awakens.
Kane feels it. His grip tightens, punishments turn brutal, and he hides the truth of what I am.
Trapped between two powerful men, I’m no prey, no pawn—no helpless victim.
Prisons burn. Monsters bleed. As for me? I'm the storm in skin—deadly beyond suspicion.
Bound By Power, Torn By Love
She regards him as her only salvation, but he regards her as a pawn for revenge. When two enemies dance on the sharp knife, what will be the final outcome?
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.

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.
A pack of their own
What the Heart Wants (Book 1 of the Alpha Faros Series)
Not loving him will cost more.
Derek has one goal: survive high school without drawing too much attention or pissing off his pack’s alpha.
As the youngest son of the alpha, his life is governed by lycan hierarchy, tradition, and politics. With no signs of awakening a lycan spirit, his only value is what he can do for the pack’s image. He knows he’s only ever one misstep away from exile… or worse.
Then, he finds a boy trapped in a locker on orientation day, and everything changes.
Derek shouldn’t want Nikolias. He’s off-limits. A risk Derek can’t afford.
So why does it feel like he’s the only thing worth fighting for?
Nikolias has just lost everything: his parents, his home, and any sense of peace. Sent back to the town his family left years ago to live with his prejudiced and controlling uncle, who wants nothing to do with anything—or anyone—not human, he’s trying to do everything in his power to get out quickly.
But then he meets Derek again, and all of his plans vanish in the soft, yearning flecks of gold in Derek’s green-hazel eyes. He’s drawn to Derek in a way that’s impossible to deny, and he thinks Derek feels the same way, despite the danger their relationship holds for him.
As Moonshadow's politics turn deadly, Derek and Nikolai are caught in the crossfire of a war that had started long before they were born, and their bond becomes a threat and a lifeline that neither can afford to sever.
Because the heart wants what it wants….
And it never asks permission.

“There are no limits between us,” he chuckled, the mirth sparkling in his gorgeous eyes. “And all of this stems from the night you gave me both pain and pleasure. I’m simply returning the favor.”
He took two steps forward, and I stepped back. “But…” The memory of what I had done filled me with fear, and I knew I had to get out of there. “I…”
“No, Firecat.” He placed an index finger on my lips. “This will take your mind off that son of a bitch.” His strong hands pulled me by the waist until I felt his hard manhood.

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.
