Introduction
Chapter 1
The sunlight spilled softly across Evelyn Monroe’s face, warm and golden, like a kiss from the universe itself. She blinked lazily, letting herself soak in the serenity for a moment longer. The world outside her window was humming—a gentle breeze danced through the sheer white curtains, birds chirped like they were celebrating her. And why wouldn’t they?
Today was the beginning of forever.
Her wedding day.
She smiled to herself, reaching across her bed and brushing her fingers against the lace sleeve of her dress, hanging nearby like a quiet promise. Hand-stitched pearls. Soft ivory silk. Custom-fitted to her soul.
“Mrs. Evelyn Carter,” she whispered aloud, testing the name on her tongue.
It sounded almost perfect. Almost.
But somewhere deep beneath the surface of her joy, something restless stirred—a shadow at the edge of sunlight, a whisper too faint to hear. She shook it off. Cold feet. That was normal, right?
Her phone buzzed.
One new message.
From: Bestie of the Bride 💋
Can’t wait to see you walk down that aisle, babe! Make sure you eat, okay? You’ll need the energy for the honeymoon 😏
Evelyn laughed, rolling her eyes. Mia always knew how to break the nerves. She tapped out a quick “I love you” and set the phone down, rising from the bed and padding barefoot across the polished wooden floors of the Carter estate guest wing.
The place was too quiet.
Odd.
The house should’ve been buzzing with stylists, planners, and her mother barking orders at florists who got the lilies wrong. But the hallways were still. Heavy.
She walked down the grand staircase, bridal robe trailing behind her like a whisper. Her heels clicked softly against the marble floor. The house echoed with nothing but her own footsteps.
Then she heard it. A voice.
Low. Male. Urgent.
She stopped at the landing.
“...She doesn’t suspect a thing,” the voice said.
Her breath hitched.
It was her fiancé’s voice. Logan.
“I’ll make sure it’s done before the vows. She’ll never know. We’ll be rich, Mia. And free.”
Evelyn’s heart stopped.
No.
She must have misheard.
But then—Mia’s laughter.
Sweet. Familiar. Acidic.
“Oh, Logan. You’re so bad,” Mia purred. “But I do like it when you talk dirty about murder.”
Evelyn’s knees buckled. She clutched the railing, suddenly ice-cold. The air thickened around her. Her stomach twisted as the truth clawed its way out of the shadows.
Mia. Logan. Together. Plotting to—
She didn’t hear the footsteps behind her.
She didn’t even scream.
A sharp shove.
A blur of light and marble.
A violent tumble through nothing.
Pain never came.
Only silence.
Then—
Darkness.
A rushing sound filled her ears, like ocean waves crashing inside her skull. Her lungs ached. Her eyes fluttered open.
She was… lying in bed?
Same ivory comforter. Same silk dress on the chair. Same light streaming through the window.
She gasped, bolting upright.
She was alive.
The morning sun touched her skin again. But her hands trembled. Her pulse pounded in her throat.
What just happened?
Her phone buzzed. Again.

Can’t wait to see you walk down that aisle, babe! Make sure you eat, okay? You’ll need the energy for the honeymoon 😏
Evelyn dropped the phone like it burned her.
No.
No no no.
This was impossible.
She scrambled out of bed and rushed to the mirror. Her reflection stared back—young, unscarred, breathing. Her wedding day again. Just like before.
Same text. Same weather. Same... everything.
Her mind screamed, but her heart whispered a different truth.
You died. And now, you’re back.
A cold calm washed over her.
This time, she wouldn’t walk blindly into that chapel.
This time, she wouldn’t be fooled by a pretty smile and a soft kiss.
Evelyn Monroe wasn’t just a bride anymore.
She was a woman reborn.
And she had a wedding to stop—and a life to reclaim.

BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. 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?
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
Human Capture (Up North #2)
Raised in a starving settlement choked by a vast, unforgiving forest, Lara learned early that survival has a price. To keep her family alive, she became a master hunter—agile, silent, and deadly with an array of mismatched blades. But the forest has eyes, and one evening, the shadows dragged her away.
Nine months later, Lara breaks free from a concrete dungeon, only to find herself stranded in the lawless, rogue-infested wilds of Avers Land alongside four captured werewolf girls. Seeking refuge in the neighboring territory of Illyen, she expects to find a way back to her human life. Instead, she is brought face-to-face with Alpha Rowan, the terrifying, ruthless ruler of the frozen North.
One look into Lara’s eyes, and the Alpha’s world shatters. His eyes turn an absolute shade of black. The bond is undeniable. She is his fated mate.
But a human cannot survive the brutal political landscape of the North, and Rowan openly rejects the bond, dragging her onto a warship bound for a kingdom that views her as a fragile liability. Trapped between a mate who refuses to love her and a court of monsters waiting for her to break, Lara must use every hunter's instinct she possesses. Because in the realm of wolves, a human must either grow claws of her own—or perish in the snow.
Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.
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.
Bella and Her Beast
.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
The Ice Between Us.
Then comes Jax Miller.
Jax is a hotheaded rookie with a lightning-fast puck and a reputation for burning bridges. He doesn't follow playbooks, he doesn't respect authority, and he’s determined to melt Julian’s icy composure. When a viral video of their on-ice collision threatens to bankrupt the program, Coach Clain delivers an ultimatum that feels like a death sentence: they must live together in a cramped, two-bed dorm for the duration of the season.
Forced to navigate the high-stakes world of sports fame, "forbidden" locker-room tension, and the mysterious blackmailer who caught their first mistake on camera, Julian and Jax must decide what’s more dangerous: losing their careers, or losing themselves to the person they were supposed to hate.
Cursed To Be His
At thirteen, everything changed.
After her parents were murdered, she was cursed by a powerful witch and used as a vessel for Elder magic. Saving her life came at an impossible cost; the curse was broken, but so was the wolf inside her, leaving her human.
Ten years later, Talia hides her grief behind sharp sarcasm and a smile she no longer believes. When a rogue attack proves she can no longer protect herself, or the people she loves, she leaves the only home she's ever known for the quiet human town of Ashbourne Hollow, determined to disappear.
Instead, she catches the attention of the town's most dangerous owner.
Alaric Lazarus is a vampire who rules from the black castle overlooking Ashbourne Hollow. He is cold, enigmatic, and impossible to read, but he awakens something in Talia she can't explain. She doesn't trust him. He trusts her even less.
Then vampires begin turning up dead.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, Talia and Alaric uncover a trail that leads back to the family she lost... and the curse she thought she'd escaped. As old enemies emerge from the shadows and buried secrets come to light, Talia discovers that everything she believed about her past was a lie.
Because the curse that stole her wolf was never meant to save her.
It was meant to lead her to him.
This is book 3 in the series, but it can be read as a standalone.

The Alpha King's Human Mate
“I have waited nine years for you. That’s nearly a decade since I’ve felt this emptiness inside me. Part of me began to wonder if you didn’t exist or you’d already died. And then I found you, right inside my own home.”
He used one of his hands to stroke my cheek and tingles erupted everywhere.
“I’ve spent enough time without you and I will not let anything else keep us apart. Not other wolves, not my drunken father who’s barely holding himself together the past twenty years, not your family – and not even you.”
Clark Bellevue has spent her entire life as the only human in the wolf pack - literally. Eighteen years ago, Clark was the accidental result of a brief affair between one of the most powerful Alphas in the world and a human woman. Despite living with her father and her werewolf half-siblings, Clark has never felt like she really belonged in the werewolf world. But right as Clark plans to leave the werewolf world behind for good, her life gets flipped upside down by her mate: the next Alpha King, Griffin Bardot. Griffin has been waiting years for the chance to meet his mate, and he's not about to let her go anytime soon. It doesn't matter how far Clark tries to run from her destiny or her mate - Griffin intends to keep her, no matter what he has to do or who stands in his way.
