Introduction
Terrified and convinced he is their killer, Kaitlyn fights his grip as he drags her into a world of danger, but the truth is far darker than she imagined. Callum didn't come to end her life; he came to save it.
Her father's deadly secrets have made her a target of the most feared cartel in the underworld, and only Callum can keep her alive.
Trapped in the Mafia King's shadow, Kaitlyn vows to resist his dangerous charm. Yet as threats close in and lies unravel, she finds herself entangled in a web of forbidden desire, ruthless power plays, and secrets that could destroy everything she thought she knew.
Can Kaitlyn survive the world she has been thrown into? Or will Callum's darkness consume her too?
Chapter 1
The rain poured heavily, drenching the city of RavenPort. Water ran in rivers along the cracked sidewalks; the smell of gasoline and wet concrete filled the air.
Kaitlyn Hart stumbled onto her parents’ front porch. Her key trembled in her fingers as she struggled to unlock the door.
Something was wrong.
The house was dark.
Too dark.
Her parents always left the kitchen light on.
The door creaked open, revealing a nightmare she could never have imagined.
Blood.
So much blood.
She choked on her breath as her wide eyes scanned the scene.
The lifeless bodies of her father and mother sprawled on the floor, crimson soaking into the expensive carpet.
Her mother’s arms were outstretched as if trying to reach for safety. Her father’s eyes stared blankly at the ceiling.
“No…” she whispered.
“No…no, please.” Her muffled screams came out with her hands over her mouth.
A shadow shifted in the room.
Her gaze shot upward and locked onto the tall, dark figure standing above the corpses.
A man.
Broad shoulders, dressed in black from head to toe with leather gloves. A gun in hand, still smoking—the metallic scent of gunpowder mixed with that of blood was too much to ignore.
His face came into view with the help of the moonlight.
Sharp jaw, cold, merciless eyes like carved obsidian.
Callum Drake.
The name slammed into her mind like a bullet. She knew him. Everyone did.
The king of the Drake Syndicate.
The most feared mafia lord of the city.
And now, standing over her parents’ dead bodies.
“You,” her voice cracked, horror evident on her face.
“You killed them. You murdered my parents!”
His gaze locked onto hers, unreadable.
Calm. Deadly.
“Kaitlyn Hart,” he murmured, like he had said the name a thousand times before.
“Finally, we meet.”
Her blood pressure soared.
“No…” she whispered, stumbling back, her body shaking violently. “Stay away from me.”
He moved like a predator, swift and silent.
In an instant, he was in front of her, towering over her trembling form.
“Get away!” she screamed, panicked, fists pounding against his chest.
His strong hands caught her wrist… too tight. The other hand reached up, cradling her chin as he forced her to meet his eyes.
“I didn’t kill them,” he said softly. Dangerously. “If I wanted you dead, little mouse... you would already be on the floor beside them.”
Tears blurred her vision. She yanked free, stumbling towards the door, only to be wrenched back into his iron grip.
“Let me go! You bastard! You killed them! You monster!”
A thin smile touched his lips.
“Wrong again, darling. I just saved your life.”
Her body went rigid.
“What?”
A sharp metallic sound cut through the room.
Another gun.
A man stepped out from the shadows behind her. Sharp, deadly, pistol raised.
Before she could scream, Callum shoved her to the floor and fired.
The blast echoed like thunder.
The stranger collapsed, dead before he hit the ground.
Kaitlyn gasped, staring wide-eyed at the body.
“You were so busy blaming me,” Callum murmured as he crouched beside her, “you didn’t see the real killer behind you.”
Her heart pounded painfully in her chest. Her head spun.
“Wh-what is happening?” she whispered, still shaking, her back pressed to the wall.
Callum stood, towering over her like a dark god. His eyes burned into her soul.
“Your father made enemies, princess. Powerful ones. They wanted him dead... and you next.”
She flinched at the sound of ‘princess’ on his lips.
“Stop calling me that.”
“But you are,” he replied. “A princess without a home, without a family... and now you belong to me.”
“Over my dead body,” she spat, fury rising within her.
“That can be arranged, but I’d rather keep you alive.”
His hand wrapped around her arm, pulling her roughly to her feet. His grip was firm, yet possessive.
“Where do you think you would go, little mouse? The city is crawling with men who want you dead, and without me, you won’t last a night.”
“I’d rather die than go with you,” she hissed.
He leaned in, warm breath against her ear.
“Careful, Kaitlyn. You have no idea how precious your life just became.”
Her pulse stuttered.
Callum turned, dragging her out into the rain-slick night. A sleek black car waited at the side, engine on.
“Let me go!” She fought, struggling and kicking. “I hate you! You killed them! You…”
“Quiet,” he ordered, pushing her into the backseat. “You are mine to protect, whether you like it or not.”
The door slammed shut.
Tears blurred her eyes as the car sped away into the darkness.
The devil had her now. No one could save her.
She huddled in the corner of the backseat, shivering, her mind racing in circles. Her parents were dead. Murdered. And this monster—the king of the underworld—was dragging her away like a possession.
“You have made a mistake,” she whispered, barely audible. “The police... they will come for me.”
Callum chuckled slowly, a sound that made her stomach twist.
“There is no rescue coming, little mouse. The police either work for me or the cartel. You belong to my world now.”
Her heart sank.
“Why? Why are you doing this?” she choked.
His dark eyes flicked to her in the rearview mirror.
“Because you are the key to everything your father was hiding. And because the cartel wants you dead. Keeping you alive keeps me in control.”
The words settled like chains around her chest. Heavy and final.
The car turned sharply, tires squealing on the wet pavement. They climbed the road leading to Raven Hill; the silhouette of Blackthorn Manor stood like a dark castle against the sky.
Cold fear settled within her.
“You can’t keep me here forever,” she whispered.
Callum smiled. “Watch me.”
The gates creaked open, and the car came to a halt.
Guards flanked the entrance, armed and merciless.
No escape.
“This can't be real, is this a nightmare?” she thought
Callum stepped out first, adjusting the cuffs of his black shirt like he hadn’t just kidnapped someone. He opened the door without a word and yanked her out.
“Welcome to your new home, little mouse,” he said while dragging her toward the mansion’s great iron doors.
“I will never forgive you,” she spat, struggling against his grip. “Never.”
His smile was that of pure sin. “I bet you would change your mind.”
The doors slammed shut behind her.

The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

Until Eric Thompson appeared.
Bella’s older brother. Mark’s powerful brother-in-law. And the most feared Alpha in the city.
He offered her a hand when no one else would. Then, he offered her a deal:
A marriage in name only. A shield against her past. A chance to rebuild.
Elena accepted, expecting a cold arrangement between strangers. But behind closed doors, Eric’s carefully guarded control unraveled—and so did hers. Their chemistry was explosive, their nights intense, and the lines between business and pleasure blurred beyond recognition.
He was the one man she could never have… and the only one she couldn’t resist.

The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.
When her brother Theo faced twenty-five years in prison for massive embezzlement, the ruthless business tycoon James Lancaster offered her a deal: marry him in exchange for her brother's freedom.
This wasn't a fairy tale proposal, but a carefully orchestrated revenge. Because in James's heart, Ella was the culprit who had killed his sister Cecilia. He wanted her to pay the price—to atone with a lifetime of suffering.
The Unwritten Princess
My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.
The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.
So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.
Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born. And somewhere between the lies I've been told and the truth I'm hunting, I'm starting to suspect: What if I'm not the princess from the prophecy at all?
COLD (Ruthless Player)
“Please… Nick, wait.” He pulled out, thrusted back in. “How much? Twenty thousand? Fifty? Hundred?” With every question, he thrust harder and harder. My neurons are frying with the confusing feeling in my brain. Torn between pleasure, fear, and panic. I couldn't utter a single sentence to save my life.
His cold eyes pinned me in place while he plundered my body with deep thrusts, which only added to my confusion. My dumb body mistook the mixed signals, my pussy becoming even wetter than before.
“I hope she'd paid you well, because I'm going to fuck you all night long, hard,” he growled. “Sleep, then do it all over again. I want to feel you come for me, Andrea, want to feel you squeeze my cock, milking me.
Begging for me to give you the high only I can, I'm going to fucked you until I fuck all my wife's money's worth, I want you to remember how hard I took you while you're meeting her.” I sobbed, moaned, and tried to scramble out under him.
“No, please…Nick, let….let me explain.” Nick abruptly pulled out. His eyes were cold but hooded.
Andrea was sent to take down billionaire magnate Nicklaus Montgomery.
Her mission was simple: get close, seduce him, find the proof, and disappear. Instead Andrea finds herself exposed—cornered into signing a contract that binds her to Nicklaus's side as his lover. Now she’s living in his world of wealth, danger, and secrets… and the deeper she falls into his bed, the harder it becomes to remember what side she's on.
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.
Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
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...
