Introduction
Then a voice activated in his head.
The Chosen Heir System doesn't do sympathy — it does missions. Its first order: save the sister of the man who just destroyed him. Adrian ran through the rain, bleeding, and did it anyway.
One mission. One million dollars.
Ricardo Rodriguez has no idea what he just created. And the system is only getting started.
Chapter 1
1
Adrian handed over his old card at the checkout, trying not to think about how much money he was spending. The cashier scanned his gift box, then a voice cut through the store, loud and mocking.
“Well, would you look at that? The scholarship kid!”
He froze, recognizing Ricardo Rodriguez’s voice—and the snickers from his crew. Adrian didn’t care much for them, and he was pretty sure the feeling was mutual. Really, he’d rather get in and out, no drama.
“Hey, pauper. What, are you shopping now? This place is a little pricey for someone like you.” The guys closed in, smirking. “I doubt you can even afford to look at anything here.”
Ricardo had always been obnoxious—the richest guy at Ravendale, always flashing his cash, always running his mouth about people like Adrian who barely scraped by. Before, Ricardo used to just ignore him, acting like Adrian wasn’t even worth the effort. That changed fast when he found out Adrian was seeing Teresa Williams, easily the most beautiful girl in school. From then on, Ricardo made it his mission to humiliate him any chance he got.
Ricardo eyed Adrian’s purchase. “Is that a gift box? Adorable. Let me guess—it’s for Teresa.” He grinned. One of the guys chimed in, “She’s really gonna accept that? Looks like something straight out of the discount bin.” More laughter.
“You came all the way here just for that trash? You don’t even have shame, man,” another one sneered.
Ricardo leaned in and clapped a heavy hand on Adrian’s shoulder. “Listen, bro, I can’t stand people like you. Sure, you’re smart, a total nerd with your books, but you’ve got nothing in your wallet. You don’t deserve Teresa. She should be with someone like me. I’ll make you a deal—ditch her, and I’ll give you a thousand bucks. Deal?”
Adrian stared at him like he’d grown a second head. Did Ricardo really think he could just pay him to go away? He hadn’t even offered that much.
“No thanks.” Adrian turned away, not bothering to meet Ricardo’s eyes or react to his pack.
The cashier handed back his card with a quiet “Thank you for shopping with us.”
Ricardo’s gang started up again, “Shopping, he says! He probably grabbed the cheapest thing in the whole store. Look at that ratty box—how do you even stay in business with customers like him?”
Adrian walked right past them, refusing to give them the satisfaction of a scene. He knew how this would play out—the poor kid always took the fall, the rich kid walked free. Not worth it.
He’d ignored people like that his whole life. He could keep doing it, for as long as he had Teresa.
With the box tucked under his arm, Adrian headed home. He needed to clean up and change—tonight was a big deal. He wanted everything to be perfect. For her. For them.
He paid the ride and looked up at the party venue. For a second, he just stood there, a little stunned. It was beautiful, nothing like any student party he’d ever been to. The student body had put it all together. Really, Ricardo had put it together—he was, after all, the son of Federico Rodriguez, who was practically made of money. Guys like Ricardo had it all handed to them; Adrian had to juggle part-time jobs on top of class just to scrape together enough for a half-decent necklace for Teresa.
Adrian glanced down at his gift—he’d picked it out so carefully, saved every penny, wrapped it himself. Tonight, in front of everyone, he’d make it official. Sure, all their friends probably guessed they were together after three years, but tonight, he’d say it out loud. No hiding. No pretending.
He checked his phone. Nothing from Teresa yet, not even a read receipt. Maybe she was just caught up with something. He tried calling—straight to voicemail.
Fine. He’d find her inside.
Scanning the party, Adrian searched for a familiar face. He spotted Lily, one of Teresa’s friends.
“Hey, do you know where Teresa is?”
Lily barely looked at him. “I think she went through that door.” She pointed vaguely, barely even making eye contact. Adrian could feel her contempt; Lily had always thought he wasn’t good enough and that Teresa could do better.
“Thanks,” he muttered, following her directions through the glowing doorway, not even pausing to read whatever sign was posted there.
This new room was gorgeous—so much fancier than the last—but the moment Adrian stepped inside, he felt it: every judgmental look, every whispered slur.
“Is that the loser?”
“Who let him in?”
“He looks worse than the janitors. Bet his girlfriend paid for his ticket.”
Even dressed in his best, he stood out. Everyone else sparkled—he came off plain, just one more nobody. Still, he scanned the room, eyes moving quickly… and there she was. His heart thumped as he spotted hair the shade of autumn leaves: Teresa.
She was sitting with a guy—someone he didn’t recognize at first. Adrian took a step forward, but someone stopped him. “Excuse me, sir, this area’s for VIP guests only.” He didn’t even stop walking.
“Just a minute,” he said, the words catching before he could finish. He froze.
Ricardo Rodriguez. Sitting beside Teresa. Right there, kissing her while she held onto him, not pulling away as he
touched her like they were alone.
Adrian’s world just… stopped.

The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
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.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
Inked Adonis - Mafia Romance
Of me saying I want to climb him like a tree.
And he just. Texted. Back.
It's the dog's fault, really.
If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here:
With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen.
Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it.
(Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.)
He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.
I'm still pinching myself as me and the bestie resume our walk.
“Methinks you had a little crush on him,” she accuses.
Not thinking and a little flustered by the whole experience, I reply, “I’d wrap my legs around his waist tighter than that leash.”
THAT'S when she reveals that she'd been recording my response.
THAT'S when she gives me the most devilish grin I've ever seen and says, “You're welcome.”
And THAT'S when she hands me my phone and reveals...
She sent the recording to him.
My heart is in my throat as those three little dots appear…
Then a text.
“PROVE IT.”
Unwanted Mate Of The Lycan Kings
Ripped from her bed and thrown into a world of blood and treachery, Zirah’s fate is sealed, a forced marriage to one of the three Lycan Kings, each more monstrous than the last.
These kings, cursed by their sins, pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, and gluttony are at war, fighting to claim their father’s throne. But the last thing any of them want is a queen.
To them, Zirah is nothing but a pawn, an object to be used, discarded, or destroyed.
But they underestimate her.
If they think she will cower, they are wrong.
If they believe she will bow, they will bleed.
And if they want to break her, they’ll have to survive her first.
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?
Bloodright
Ashveil University is not what it looks like in the photographs. The students here carry something that shifts their eyes at the edges of anger. The northwest trees hold an attention that trees should not be able to hold. And the empty chair at the council table, the one nobody sits in, the one nobody explains, has been waiting three hundred years for one specific person to arrive.
Nobody told Adaline she was that person. They classified her as Dormant. A blank space in a file. Nothing.
She is the opposite of nothing.
Beneath the campus, three ancient entities are waking up. Every house in the pack world wants to control what runs in her blood. The boy sent to assess her has stopped being able to do his job. And the woman who has been three steps ahead of everyone since before Adaline was born is not a villain. She is a warning. She is what Adaline would have become if nobody had found her.

She already knows her answer. She decided before anyone told her the full price.
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.

Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?

Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.

He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret
“Who said that’s still fucking true? We stopped being just man and surrogate the first time our eyes met.” He walked towards me, boring into my eyes with those eyes of his. “I fucking want you, Vanessa.”
My heart stuttered.
This could not be real.
“But the rules—“
“I made them. I can destroy them. I already destroyed them when I kissed you.” He was dangerously close now, but all I kept getting was danger signals combined with the panic, alarm, lust and above all, the guilt.

Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
