“You belong to me, Freya.”

“No,” I whispered, staring into his cold gray eyes. “I never belonged to anyone.”

Leopold Gray’s jaw tightened.

The most powerful man in the country wasn’t used to hearing the word no.

And that might be exactly why he became obsessed with me.

After losing her parents, Freya Raphael was raised inside one of the wealthiest families in the city.

To outsiders, she was ...

Ella James has spent most of her life being overlooked, underestimated, or laughed at.

At school, she’s the girl in the oversized hoodies. The girl people make jokes about. The girl no one chooses.

After years of disappointment, Ella has learned not to expect much from anyone—especially not from Beckett Cross.

Popular, confident, and seemingly perfect, Beckett has always been everything Ella av...

I held my breath in the dark closet, watching my fated mate strip naked, praying he wouldn’t hear my heart pounding like a drum.

I was only supposed to clean Alpha Thomas’s room, not spy on him. But when he walked out of the shower, water glistening on his muscular back, I couldn't look away. I wanted him. I wanted to be the one drying those droplets off his skin. But I am just a dirty omega, a c...

Five years of marriage, and he never once looked at me with love. He called me a gold digger. He forced me to take birth control. And on our last night together, he moaned another woman's name in my ear.
I left with nothing but my dignity—and a secret I didn't even know I was carrying.
Six years later, I'm back. Not as the doormat wife he discarded, but as an award-winning scientist with a five-ye...

Knox’s hand closes around the collar of my cut, tugging me back just enough that I feel the heat of him at my spine.

“You keep looking at trouble like that,” he murmurs against my ear, voice rough and low, “and one day it’s going to look back.”

I tilt my chin, meeting his gaze over my shoulder.

“Good,” I whisper. “I’m counting on it.”

His mouth curves slowly, dark and dangerous.

“Careful, Sha...

On a rainy night outside Lumina City Hall, Chloe is abandoned by her fiancé of five years. Her grandfather is dying, her ten-year-old brother Noah may be taken by CPS, and a vicious inheritance battle is closing in. With no time to fall apart, she turns to Arthur, a stranger who has also just been left at the altar, and asks the impossible: “Will you marry me?”

One contract, one-dollar penalty, a...

"We literally just met. Don’t you think a flash marriage is moving a little fast?" said Michael, a blind date arranged by my mother.
"People get married quick all the time now," I shot back. "We could get the paperwork done, take time to actually get to know each other. If it works out, great. If not, we divorce."
He smiled. "Alright. Then let’s try it."

I found the lie on a Tuesday.
Five thousand dollars. Every month. Going to a woman with my husband's last name.
When Flynn came home and saw me sitting on the office floor surrounded by bank statements, he didn't even try to deny it. He just stood there and told me he couldn't explain.
Three years of marriage and all I got was "I can't".
So I left.
Three months later I met Dominic. Flynn's biggest...

He wanted a puppet. He got a queen instead.

Elora Frost is used to being the punchline. To her wealthy father and evil stepsister, she's a broken charity case. To the school, she's the weird girl in thrift-store sweaters. The ice rink is her only sanctuary—the only place she isn't hiding.

Meet Poppy McCormick and Grayson Prince. Poppy is the girl at school that no one seems to like because of the rumours her ex-best friend spread. Grayson is the school's bad boy, not one for listening to rumours since he has a few of his own. One chance meeting has them navigating high school together as friends and soon, maybe as something more. But will their individual secrets ruin everything?

"So, you're asking me to sacrifice my life, mother?"
"And what of it? Are you so proud of your pitiful and disgraceful life? You are a blight and a curse! This is the only way you can redeem yourself!"
"By dying?" Winona asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Yes, by dying and performing a noble act to cleanse your sins and curses. Perhaps you might be blessed with good karma in your next life,...

My boyfriend locked me out.
A killer had a knife to my throat.
He watched through the glass and did nothing.

The man who kicked the door down?
His uncle.
The one my boyfriend said was "dangerous."
He was right.

That night, I slept in the uncle's bed.
Wrapped in his arms.
Safe for the first time in two years.

My ex is begging me to come back.
His uncle just pressed a gun into my palm and said:

"Why did you marry me?"

"Because I had no other choice."

The day my grandfather fell critically ill, I was abandoned by my boyfriend of seven years and lost my last pillar of support.

To fulfill my grandfather's dying wish, I married Charles William, a man I had never met.

Cold, arrogant, dangerous—that was my entire impression of this new husband.

It wasn't until after my grandfather's death...

He was ordered to kill her.
He locked her in a tower instead.
Now the entire world is hunting them both.

They called Amina a monster.
A forbidden Lycan-Seer Hybrid—a living weapon outlawed for generations.

So she hid.
Three years. One bookstore. Pretending to be human.

Until one night… everything shattered.

“He’s failing math." I blinked, staring at Ms. Debby from across her desk. I was the best student, and Evan Anderson was the catastrophic failure. And now, I had to tutor him.

Evan Anderson was everything this school worshipped. Tall, sharp features, blue eyes, and wavy hair. He was arrogant, annoying, and a stupid jerk. I couldn't bear to be in the same space with him. But I needed the recommend...
