Chapter 1
The only relief Cecilia could find amidst the scorching weather was the prospect of quenching her thirst with a cold drink waiting in the deep freezer nearby.
However, the day's heat only seemed to compound Cecilia's discomfort as she struggled under the weight of her oversized historical gown and the fake pregnancy strapped to her belly for the upcoming scene.
Although Cecilia's role in the play was minor, it required her to portray a pregnant woman in two scenes throughout the day.
As Cecilia made her way towards the deep freezer, eager for a refreshing beverage, her hand was halted by another.
"Hey... hey sister, this deep freezer is reserved for the main roles, for celebrities, not for extras like you," her sister gently admonished.
At her sister's remark, Cecilia's enthusiasm for the drink diminished, and she graciously stepped aside, acknowledging her sister's entitlement.
And who could blame her? After all, her sister was Carina. Carina Carter, the famed actress from California, commanded both respect and admiration. For Cecilia, an aspiring actress without influential connections, the chance to share the screen with her stepsister, the illustrious Carina Carter, was indeed a stroke of luck.
While Carina enjoyed her chilled water under the shade provided by her attentive assistant, Cecilia seethed with anger as she watched her sister gulp down the refreshing liquid.
Inviting Cecilia to join her in the shade, Carina's tone carried a hint of superiority and arrogance, "Have you finally accepted that I can easily ruin you at any time, Cecilia? Or do you want to prolong your agony?"
Cecilia's gaze bore into her sister with a mixture of resentment and disdain, but she remained silent, opting instead to let out a frustrated hiss. Before she could retreat, Carina's grasp held her in place.
"Hey, planning to confront Nathaniel about your grievances? Did you expect him to spare time for your complaints? He's clearly enjoying the company of those beautiful actresses, did you think he'll make time for you?" Carina taunted.
"Carina!" Cecilia erupted in frustration, her voice tinged with anger, while Carina chuckled derisively. Cecilia continued, her words laced with determination, "You just wait and see." With that, she stormed off angrily to the hall.
Unbeknownst to Carina, the same movie also featured Nathaniel Jones as an actor, a fact that stirred Cecilia's heart, as she harbored deep-seated feelings for him that had their roots in their childhood friendship.
Their connection had evolved into a budding romance during their post-middle school years, fueled by Nathaniel's playful flirtations. Despite Cecilia's realization of the inherent challenges in their relationship, Nathaniel's gestures hinted at affection, albeit silently, leaving Cecilia holding onto the hope that he shared her sentiments, despite never explicitly expressing them.
As Cecilia stormed into the hall, her gaze locked onto Nathaniel, who was surrounded by a throng of girls, including some fellow cast members and notable celebrities like Carina.
Before she could approach him, Carina swooped in, theatrically stumbling to the ground to draw attention to herself. Nathaniel rushed to her aid, scooping her up in a bridal-style embrace and escorting her back to her seat. A smug smirk danced on Carina's lips as Nathaniel tended to her, leaving Cecilia standing there, her heart sinking with disappointment and frustration.
Watching Nathaniel care for Carina's wound ignited a pang of jealousy within Cecilia. Determined to assert herself, she prepared to play her trump card, but her plans faltered when she stumbled.
Tears welling in her eyes, Cecilia confessed, "I fell down, Nathaniel."
With a playful glint in his eye, Nathaniel retorted, "Call the manager to take care of you," eliciting laughter from the onlookers.
Shame engulfed Cecilia as she rose to her feet and silently made her exit from the hall. The shooting resumed shortly thereafter, but when Cecilia's turn came, a wave of laughter erupted from the spectators and crew.
"She's just trying to get Nathaniel's attention," one of the girls remarked loudly, earning a sharp glare from Cecilia.
After the shoot concluded, Cecilia hailed a taxi, eager to distance herself from the chaos of the set. As she waited, her attention was caught by the arrival of a striking red sports car pulling up beside her.
Startled, Cecilia stepped back as the car screeched to a halt. Her heart raced in her chest as she regained her composure, only to be surprised by the sight of a woman clad in a tight white dress emerging from the vehicle. It was none other than her sister, Carina Carter.
"You again, Carina?" Cecilia questioned, her irritation evident in her tone. "What's the meaning of this? Are you still playing games after your fake fall earlier today?"
Carina responded with a playful quip, brushing off the seriousness of the situation. Cecilia chose to remain silent, intending to leave, but Carina obstructed her path once more. Just then, Nathaniel appeared, further complicating the encounter.
"Weren't you injured earlier?" Nathaniel inquired, his concern directed towards Carina. Seizing the opportunity, Carina feigned distress, accusing Cecilia of pushing her. Nathaniel rushed to Carina's aid, scooping her up in his arms and escorting her to the car before turning his attention back to Cecilia.
"Why are you always so mean to your sister? You're related, after all. And she's your senior in terms of work, you should respect her," Nathaniel chided, his curiosity evident.
Tears welled in Cecilia's eyes as she confronted him, "Are you still in love with me?"
Nathaniel's smirk shattered Cecilia's fragile hopes, and his cutting words left her utterly devastated. "Are we dating? I may have shown affection, but I never professed love, did I?"
Those words struck Cecilia like a cruel blow, her world crumbling around her as she struggled to make sense of his callous revelation. She questioned the sincerity behind his past gestures of kindness and care, grappling with the realization that their closeness had been nothing more than a facade.
"Cecilia, are you that naive? I used you to get closer to Carina since you both lived together," Nathaniel confessed without a hint of remorse. "See you at the shoot tomorrow. Oh, and Happy birthday! We might not see each other, so consider this an early greeting."
With that heartless admission, Nathaniel nonchalantly joined Carina in the car, leaving Cecilia shattered and alone. She collapsed to her knees, overwhelmed by a torrent of betrayal and heartbreak, as darkness enveloped her consciousness.

Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.
The Sentinel's Conduit
In a world already on its knees, vampires in the streets, daylight a memory, the human race running out of places to hide. You would think a man of God would know better than to make a deal with the devil. Or, in our case, the Vampire Lord.
He didn't.
And I paid for it.
The part I can't quite make peace with is what came after. Because dying wasn't the end of it. Someone pulled me back, one of the five men they call Sentinels, blessed with something older than the war itself. and now I'm supposed to be grateful. They tell me I've been given a second chance. What they don't tell me is that the second chance comes with a war, a calling I didn't ask for, and five men I'm not sure I'm ready to trust.
Especially him. The one in charge. The one they call Elion.
He is not what I expected. Nothing about this is.
I have exactly two questions and no good answers: am I supposed to feel this way about a man whose job is to protect me? And if he's as dangerous as everything in me already knows he is. Would I be safer keeping him at arm's length?
I'm starting to think that was never really an option.
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.

One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.

The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.

Matthew's only shot at freedom is helping the police bring down Mr. K, the elusive mafia boss of the city. The only problem is that the detective he is forced to work with is the same man who arrested him years ago.
Masahiro Payne is everything Matthew hates: cold, calculating, and relentless.

The closer they find themselves to taking down Mr. K's empire, the more they are attracted to one another, an affair too potent to turn from.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
Luna Rising
They were wrong.
Seren was stolen as a newborn and raised in a pack that treated her as disposable. Beaten and imprisoned, she survives by hiding her strength—until a mating ball brings fate crashing into her life.
With enemies willing to sell lives and a past tied to the throne, Seren must rise…or die.
A dark werewolf romance of power, fate, and vengeance.
