Chapter 1
Queen Evenly’s heart fluttered in her chest as she made her way out of the royal garden. The vibrant flowers around her were bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, but nothing compared to the rush she felt in her own chest. She had just finished her evening tea, a quiet moment of peace before the night’s chaos took over, but her mind had been elsewhere.
Her thoughts were fixed on one person. King Lucien. Her husband, her love. He’d left the castle early that morning, disappearing behind the fortress walls to attend a treaty meeting with the kingdom of The Coast. He’d been gone all day, but now… now, he was finally returning.
The familiar sound of horses galloping echoed across the castle grounds, and without a second thought, Queen Evenly’s steps quickened. Her heart picked up pace, matching the rhythmic pounding of the hooves.
Lady Seraphina, her ever-faithful handmaid, struggled to keep up, her breath quick and uneven. “Your Majesty, please—” Seraphina huffed, trailing a few steps behind.
But the queen wasn’t paying her any mind. Her gaze was locked on the horizon where the sound of hooves grew louder, where her husband was nearing.
When she finally saw him—King Lucien—his figure tall and commanding atop his steed, she couldn’t contain the smile that spread across her face. She rushed forward, her gown billowing behind her, but before she could take another step, Lucien dismounted swiftly, landing on the ground with the grace of a lion.
He was here.
She flung herself into his arms, and Lucien caught her, laughing softly. “Well, well, if it isn’t my wife, practically swooning,” he teased, his voice deep and rich with affection.
“You were gone so long,” she said, her lips brushing against his cheek. She pulled back slightly, her hands still resting on his chest. “I couldn’t wait any longer.”
Lucien’s eyes twinkled with mischief as he smirked. “Swooning like a teenager, my love. What would the court think?” He chuckled again, shaking his head. “Seraphina, tell me—has the queen always been like this?”
Seraphina, now standing a few feet away, shot them a half-hearted smile, clearly out of breath. “She has, Your Majesty,” she said with a small nod, though she looked less than amused. “I’ve spent many a day chasing after her in the garden like this.”
Evenly waved her hand dismissively, a gleam of laughter in her eyes. “Oh, Seraphina, you act as if I’m a burden to you.” She turned back to Lucien, her arms tightening around him. “I’m just happy you’re back. That’s all.”
Lucien laughed again, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. “I’ll never tire of hearing that,” he murmured before pressing a soft kiss to her lips.
For a few moments, the world seemed to fade away. The air around them was warm, the setting sun bathing them in its golden glow. The sounds of the castle’s usual bustle were drowned out by their laughter, their shared joy. It was just them, in this fleeting moment of peace.
Lucien pulled back, looking down at his wife, his eyes softening. “I missed you,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “It feels like an eternity when I’m away from you.”
Evenly smiled, her heart swelling at his words. “You’re here now,” she said, her fingers tracing the edges of his collar. “And that’s all that matters.”
She couldn’t help but revel in the sensation of his warmth, the solid presence of him in her arms. Her pulse quickened as she looked up at him, her love for him flooding her chest. They had shared so many moments together—good and bad—but in this moment, everything felt right.
“Lucien, I love you,” she whispered, her voice filled with sincerity.
“And I love you, Evenly,” he replied, his lips brushing against her forehead. “More than anything.”
Their gaze held for a moment, and for a brief, perfect instant, the world outside them didn’t matter. Everything they needed was right here, in each other’s arms.
But then, something changed.
Evenly’s smile faltered. She suddenly felt a sharp, unbearable pain stab through her chest, her breath hitching in her throat. She gasped, her hands clutching at Lucien’s shirt, her knees going weak.
“Evenly?” Lucien’s voice was filled with alarm, his arms instantly wrapping around her as she staggered in his embrace.
She tried to speak, but her voice was lost in the wave of pain that consumed her. It felt like a burning fire was coursing through her veins, and with every passing second, it grew stronger. She could feel her body trembling uncontrollably. She gasped for breath, but it was as if the air had thickened, refusing to fill her lungs.
Lucien’s eyes widened with fear. “What’s happening?” he asked, panic seeping into his tone. He tightened his grip around her, as though by holding her closer, he could stop the pain.
Her vision blurred, a dizzying blackness creeping at the edges of her sight. Blood tasted bitter on her tongue, and before she could react, her stomach churned violently. She bent forward, coughing up blood onto the ground, her knees buckling under the weight of it all.
Lucien’s expression turned frantic. His voice cracked as he called to the guards. “Get the physicians, now!” His arms tightened around her, lifting her effortlessly. “Seraphina, help her!”
Seraphina rushed forward, her face pale as she tried to support the queen. “Your Majesty!” she cried, her voice frantic, but Evenly couldn’t focus on anything but the pain. The world was slipping from her grip, and all she could hear was the distant thudding of her own heartbeat.
Lucien’s voice was gentle, yet filled with urgency as he whispered in her ear, “Hang on, Evenly, please. Stay with me. We’ll get you help, just hold on.”
Evenly’s body felt heavier with every passing second, her limbs growing weak. “I can’t… Lucien…” she murmured, her voice faint and ragged.
“No,” he said, his tone fierce. “You’re not leaving me, not now. Stay with me.”
Lucien carried her, bridal-style, through the castle gates, his expression a mixture of panic and helplessness. “Hang on, my love. It’s going to be alright,” he whispered, though even his voice was laced with uncertainty. He tried to keep her awake, keep her with him. His warmth surrounded her, his scent filling her senses.
But it was no use.
Evenly’s eyelids fluttered, her head lolling against his chest. Her vision darkened, the edges of her world falling into an endless black abyss.
“Lucien…” she whispered weakly, her voice barely audible. “I… I love you.”
“I know. I know, my love,” Lucien’s voice cracked, and she could feel the warmth of his tears against her skin. “I love you too. Just hold on.”
And then, just as the last vestiges of her strength faded, Evenly’s vision was overtaken
by darkness, and Lucien’s voice became nothing more than a distant echo.

Sofia Martinez has spent two years rebuilding her life after escaping an abusive marriage, raising her daughter Emma alone, watching every exit, trusting no one who looks like violence. Tyler Rodriguez looks exactly like violence. She knows better than to let him in.
But Tyler keeps showing up. At the hospital. At her school. In the quiet spaces, she thought were hers alone. And for the first time in years, Sofia's threat assessment comes back wrong because the most dangerous thing about Tyler Rodriguez isn't his fists. It's that he listens.

Tyler must choose between the only language he's ever known and the man he's desperately trying to become. Sofia must decide whether protecting her daughter means keeping her walls up or finally letting the right person through them.
The Enforcer's Redemption is a sizzling, emotionally raw forbidden romance featuring a brooding hockey enforcer haunted by grief, a fiercely independent single mother rebuilding from trauma, and a slow-burn love story set against the backdrop of professional sports, custody battles, and the hardest question of all: can broken people protect each other without breaking again?

I should hate Kane Alexander, but the more time I spend with him, the more I long for him in ways I cannot understand. I am not here to be his lover, though. I am here to be his feeder.

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
The First Female Alpha
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.
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?
