"Yesterday you were burning up. Literally. Your skin was hot enough it should've killed you, but here you are." I stood up from the bed. "I need to see."
A smile spread across his face as he pulled off his shirt, revealing defined muscles and skin that seemed to glow with its own light.
"Is this really about science, Annabeth?" he asked, and his voice had dropped lower, rougher.
I walked closer, unable to stop myself even though I knew this was a bad idea. My hand lifted almost on its own, reaching toward his chest, and I placed my palm flat against his skin.
"Shit," he muttered, his voice rough. "Don't do that."
"Why not?"
"Because you don't know what you do to me when you touch me like that." His hands closed into fists at his sides, trembling with the effort of keeping them there. "My control is already shit when you're around."

Elara has always been strong—because she’s had no choice. Poor, overlooked, and dismissed by a town that values silk and silver over grit and sweat, she has survived by sheer will alone. Every coin, every scrap of food, every ounce of strength in her body is earned the hard way. She’s used to being underestimated, even despised.

But under the light of the full moon, everything changes.

When a stranger with molten-gold eyes steps from the shadows, Elara feels power in him that both terrifies and awakens something deep inside her. He knows her name, knows the fire she hides beneath her rough exterior—and he sees her as no one else ever has.

Drawn to him by forces she can’t explain, Elara is swept into a world of primal instinct and raw desire, where danger stalks the woods and secrets pulse in every heartbeat. His touch ignites heat she has never known, his presence makes her body ache with longing—and yet he is more than a man. He is wild. He is untamed. He is a predator who claims that she is his.

Alec, the brooding Alpha who lost everything. Kael, the rogue prince with a heart full of secrets. Lucian, the healer whose touch soothes but whose eyes hold the weight of ancient sorrow. They each reject her at first, believing the bond a cruel mistake. Without an awakened wolf, without power, she is nothing more than a burden. Unworthy.

But fate is not so easily denied. When whispers of the Forgotten Pack stir, when the old gods awaken, Selene realizes she is the key to something far greater than love or rejection. She is the heart of a prophecy long buried—a prophecy that demands she stand at the center of a divine trial to prove she is more than fate’s accident. She is fate itself.

As passion ignites and the bond between them deepens, Selene must fight not with claws, but with heart. She must unravel the past, reclaim the magic hidden within her soul, and show the men who turned away that love is not about worthiness—it is about destiny. But as ancient forces rise and jealous enemies lurk in the shadows, will love be enough to restore the Forgotten Pack? Or will betrayal shatter them before they have a chance to truly belong?

One girl. Three fated mates. And a love story written in the stars.

My name is Arabella. I sold 20 years of my life to become a vampire’s attendant after my father’s death in order to help my family. I should have been scared of blood and fangs, but instead, I long for my master's touches.

What I didn't know was that my desire for him would bring me nothing but destruction.


“You taste delicious.” He licks his lips, pulling me closer to him.
The warmth of his skin against mine, and the soothing rhythm of his beating heart calms me a bit. I relax my shoulders and lie there with my head on his chest.
“Ara, I'm your master and it’s my responsibility to keep you safe, but I failed today.”
His words sound sincere, and I really wish I could believe him.
But all vampires are monsters.
He just happens to be the monster I wish I could trust.

I’m married to a stranger… and I slept with the wrong billionaire.
My name is Elara Ashford.
I’m the adopted daughter the Ashfords sacrificed to save their precious biological child.
Four years ago, the family faced ruin, on the edge of bankruptcy.
A mysterious benefactor stepped in—saving them in exchange for a contract marriage with me.
Rumors said he was hideously ugly, reclusive, too ashamed to show his face.
For four years, he never asked to meet.
I grieved the baby I lost, painted in silence, and waited for our deal to end.
Now, the final year is here.
My unknown husband demands we meet face-to-face.
But things happened earlier than expected? I crash into him at the Serpentine Gallery, paint splattering his Tom Ford suit.
He flips open my sketchbook… and freezes.
That drawing? One I had made in grief for my son, who I had lost — and yet it was identical to his son, Cassian.
The man whose child I drew from grief.
And he is my mysterious contract husband.

I became a substitute bride, marrying a man whose legend was written in the blood of his four dead wives. On our wedding night, the cold steel of his gun met my temple. "You don't fear death?" he whispered. I played the part of a frightened lamb, all while secretly planning his demise. Yet, this cruel man who pushes me to the edge is the same one who shields me from harm. What game is this handsome monster playing? Little does he know, I am no innocent victim—I approached him with a hidden agenda of my own.

Now Scarlett must play the part of the pick-me girl while hiding her broken heart from the cameras.

“Marry me, Leilani.”

“What?”

“We will have rules. There will be a contract.”

Eyes widened in shock, she muttered, “You want me to be your wife? A contract wife?”

* * *

After her Tinder date goes horribly wrong, Leilani heads off to join her best friend at a wedding. There, she meets a man with the strangest proposal ever.

A contract marriage.

A normal person would have said no but a lonely person would consider the idea. So, she says yes to this hot, handsome stranger.

Marrying a stranger wouldn’t be the worst decision she has taken. Or so she thinks, until she heads to the office the next work day and the head of department tells them the company has experienced a major change.

A change as major as getting a new boss, who also happens to be her new husband.

Ruby and Leo were never meant to fall in love. Their relationship began as a simple contract between two strangers with broken pasts agreeing to play the perfect couple for their own reasons. Rules were clear, no emotions, no complications, no crossing the line. And for a while, it worked. Stolen glances were ignored, lingering touches dismissed, and the quiet comfort between them carefully denied.
But somewhere between late night conversations and shared silences, the lines blurred.

Just when everything began to feel real, she returned.
Leo’s ex, beautiful, confident, and carrying a past that refused to stay buried, walked back into his life as if she had never left. With her came secrets, unresolved feelings, and a truth that threatened to shatter everything Ruby thought she understood.
Suddenly, the contract didn’t feel like protection anymore; it felt like a lie.
Caught between what was fake and what had become painfully real, Ruby must decide if she’s willing to fight for a love that was never supposed to exist. And Leo must face the past he never truly let go of.
Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t pretending to love it’s admitting that you already do.

I had heard of arranged marriages.

Of fathers making arrangements with someone else to marry off their daughters. There was a time when such a practice was quite common.

I always knew I wasn't going to get married unless that man proved to me that he was the one. I thought I found him once, I got my heart broken in the worst way.

I was alone for a while keeping cupid's arrows away from me and my heart.

One bad day I met a man who needed a wife, and I needed money.

It sounds bad, I know. But there are things that need money and I didn't have any at the time.

It was something important that I promised myself to do when I could, and worked hard to get it, but it was never enough.

I thought a cupid appeared far away. The idiot was always around, just silently.

He shot his arrows and hit me right in the heart, then laughed at me as he found me alone again.

Cupid was evil, and he liked human suffering. More so that of unrequited love.

I became Luna of the Shadowfang pack, bound to an Alpha who treats me like a stranger.

The only one who sees me is his Beta—and our forbidden connection could destroy us all.

Two months ago, I was an ordinary wolf. Now I'm Elara, Luna of the Shadowfang pack, mated to the most powerful Alpha in the territory. But the title means nothing when my mate, Damon, won't even look at me.

He says he's protecting me from threats lurking beyond our borders. He says his coldness is for my own good. But every night I fall asleep alone, wondering if I'll ever feel his touch again—the way I did on our wedding night, when he held me like I was something precious.

Then there's Caleb.

The Beta. Damon's best friend. The only one who treats me like I matter, who listens when I speak, who makes me feel seen. With his warm smile and patient eyes, he's everything Damon isn't—and everything I shouldn't want.

But when danger closes in and secrets surface, I discover that the line between love and betrayal is thinner than I ever imagined. My heart belongs to two men—one who claims me as his Luna, and one who makes me feel like a woman.

And the choice I make could tear the pack apart.

I'm Amelia, and just a few weeks ago, the man who seemed completely devoted to me betrayed me. Ironically, because of him, I ended up spending one scorching, unforgettable night with an insanely sexy stranger.
My boyfriend—or rather, my “ex-boyfriend”—had the audacity to use my job as a weapon against me. There’s no way I’m staying in his disgusting team. I’ll find a position with another up-and-coming team that’s hiring a manager. And when I do, we’ll crush his team on the field and leave him in the dust.
What I didn’t expect was to run into that seductive stranger here... along with his ridiculously attractive assistant coach. And if that wasn’t complicated enough, the team’s star forward seems determined to make my work impossible.
