Introduction
“He gave her a ring. She came for his blood.”
Kira Antonova married the most feared man in Moscow. Not for love—but for revenge. Maxim Belov, head of the Bratva, is her enemy… and her only way to uncover the truth about her aunt’s brutal murder.
With a smile on her lips and a knife behind her back, Kira plays the part of the perfect mafia wife. But the deeper she slips into Maxim’s world, the more uncertain her heart becomes. He’s ruthless, yes—but not without scars. Not without secrets.
As passion ignites and loyalties fracture, Kira must decide: Will she finish what she started—or will her vendetta destroy them both?
In a world where love is lethal and truth is never simple…
Can vengeance survive desire?

Chapter 1
Present Day
One month ago, I made a bargain with the devil and today the bill is due.
That devil is none other than Maxim Belov. Billionaire. Business magnate. Crime lord.
And the man who killed Aunt Masha—the only mother I’ve ever known.
“Do you, Kira Antonov, take Maxim Belov to be your lawfully wedded husband…’ the priest begins, his voice echoing in the vast cathedral. His words become a distant murmur as I fix my gaze on the man I’m about to wed.
Maxim’s cold eyes meet mine, filled with a calculating appraisal. A faint smirk tugs at the corners of his mouth. He’s undeniably gorgeous, his jet-black hair peppered with salt and pepper at the temples, highlighting piercing blue-gray eyes, a chiseled jawline, and defined cheekbones that lend him an air of ruthless nobility.
The cathedral falls into a hushed silence, the weight of countless expectant eyes bearing down on me. Sweat beads along my back, and I struggle to keep my breathing steady, knowing there’s no turning back once this commitment is made.
But the only thing more terrifying than calling him my husband is not avenging Masha’s murder. And without his ring on my finger, that will be impossible. So I allow my need for vengeance to outweigh my fear. I’ve walked through fire to get here; now, I need to take the final leap.
The priest looks from Maxim to me, his brow creased with concern, and repeats, ‘Do you, Kira, take Maxim as your husband?’
Maxim drags his thumb across his bottom lip, tilting his head in a silent query. I can almost hear his mocking tone in my mind. ‘What’s it going to be, lastochka? Will you run away, or will you see this marriage through?’
I draw upon every shred of anger and grief, letting it steel my resolve. This is for Aunt Masha and the justice she deserves.
When I finally find my voice, it’s strong and clear. “Yes.” So help me God.
And just like that, I’ve bound myself to a monster for as long as it takes to exact my revenge.

Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix

Have you ever seen a screaming toddler and thought, wow, they just can’t be the same good-natured kid who was eating cereal ten minutes ago?
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.

Bella and Her Beast

For all the little girls who grew up wondering what happens after the prince kisses the girl—this is the story they never told you.
.
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 First Female Alpha

I caught him.
The man I was meant to marry—the rising Alpha, the pride of the Pack—thrusting into another girl like I didn't exist.
But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.
Because the pain had carved me hollow long before he ever touched her.
He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.
But he's wrong.
I'm not the broken little Luna they think I am. I'm the storm they never saw coming.
The Pack worships him, but only I know the truth buried beneath his perfect lies. So I'll take everything he wants most—the throne, the title, the crown he was born to wear—and win it out from under him, in front of everyone who ever called me unworthy.
Screw the Pack. Screw the respect. Screw being tame.
I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.
They wanted a loyal Luna??
Instead...
They created a monster.
And when the throne is finally mine...
The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.
They'll remember the woman who took his crown...
and became the First Female Alpha.

My heat hit me in the middle of my own engagement party to a man who kills Omegas.
The air in the ballroom was suffocating, filled with the scent of expensive wine and predatory Alphas. I felt the familiar, terrifying burn start low in my stomach. My suppressants were failing. I am an Omega pretending to be a Beta, and my fiancé, Reign Montgomery, is a powerful Enigma who believes Omegas are nothing but weak whores.
I rushed to the restroom, locking myself in, praying the scent wouldn't leak. My hands shook as I dialed for help, but the door handle turned. Reign stood there. He didn't look at my face; he grabbed my wrist, pulling it to his nose, inhaling deeply. His dark, soulless eyes bore into mine. "You smell different," he whispered, his voice dangerously low. If he finds out what I really am, I’m dead.
Reign Montgomery promised himself he’d never get involved with an omega. Not romantically, not physically, not even by accident. He doesn’t trust them, doesn’t want them, and refuses to let anyone become a weakness.
Soren Fox has lived his whole life making sure no one ever learns what he truly is. An omega pretending to be a Beta, fighting in underground rings just to survive and keep his sister alive.
