Ayla:

I grew up shielded from the Mafia lifestyle... until a merciless killer got his eyes on me.
Alessio Razone. Mysterious, intense, and ruthless. A decade my senior, with enough influence to bind me in an arranged marriage from which there's no escape.
His demand for obedience is startling. I'm treated more like a possession than a spouse. Yet, why does his rough, possessive demeanor feel oddly fitting?
With each surrender, I sink deeper into darkness. Unveiling desires I never knew existed.
Desires I should resist.
It would be simple to surrender. But if I relent, will he shatter me?

Alessio:

Ayla's innocence is a blank canvas, and I'm determined to leave my mark. Indelibly.
The offspring of our family's greatest adversary, she's mine to shape however I please.
She'll submit to me, or I'll annihilate her.
I'm too damaged for love, but I'll relish in molding Ayla into my obedient plaything. When she complies, I'll ignite her passion. When she defies, she'll face consequences.
Our union is nothing more than this. She's my fixation, but she'll never truly comprehend me.
If I allow Ayla to glimpse behind my façade, she'll discover my true self.
And that would spell ruin for us both.

Five years ago, Eva Salazar left Crescent Bay in the middle of the night — without goodbye, without explanation, and without Luca Mercer. The future they’d planned together went up in smoke, and Eva buried the pieces beneath the bright lights of a distant city. Now, circumstances have pulled her back to the small coastal town she swore she'd never return to — and back into the orbit of the only man who ever truly knew Noah Mercer hasn’t forgiven Eva for leaving. He tried. But the unanswered questions and the ache she left behind never really faded. As the town’s fire chief, he's learned how to control the flames — except the ones she sparks the second she walks back into his life.

Tension flares as the two are forced to work together on the town’s biggest fundraiser, a fire relief gala that Eva once helped build from the ground up. But time hasn’t healed all wounds, and neither of them are who they used to be. Secrets simmer beneath the surface, old feelings reignite, and the past threatens to unravel everything.

As the line between love and resentment blurs, Eva and Luca must decide: do they let the past consume them, or risk everything for a future that still burns at the edges?
Burning the Edge is a heart-stirring story of forgiveness, unresolved passion, and the kind of love that refuses to die — no matter how far you run.

"You're my mate, but I won't claim you as my mate. I cannot accept a vulnerable and misguided rogue as my Luna.

Consequently, I must reject you, and you will remain my slave forever , until I decide otherwise," Dante told Ashina .

Dante rejected his mate, Ashina , when he discovered she was an omega, reducing her to a mere slave.

However, what happens when his wolf's instincts can't resist her, and the hidden truths about her lead him to reconsider his decision?

She was born into a cage of blood and lies.
Selena Rossi knows two things: her mafia don father’s empire is built on corpses, and her mother’s killer walks free.

He’s the ghost in her nightmares.
Rook. Her father’s deadliest shadow. A name whispered in fear. An assassin without a face… until he’s forced into her light as her 24/7 bodyguard.

Mutual hatred is their shield.
Trapped together as bullets fly, Selena sees the flicker of pain behind his ice-cold eyes. He sees the crack in her armor. When chaos erupts, a savage, stolen kiss ignites a fire neither can control.

Then she uncovers the truth.
Security footage. A masked killer removing his disguise.
Rook’s face.
Pulling the trigger.

Her world shatters. Trust bleeds out. She vanishes into the night, leaving only betrayal behind.

Three years. Three lifetimes.
Selena is a ghost now too. But her father’s empire is crumbling. Enemies close in. A senator is dead. The FBI’s net tightens.

He walks back into her war.
Rook. Broken. Haunted. He carries a digital bomb – evidence that could save her family… or bury them.

“Your mother’s death wasn’t my mission. It was my damnation.”
But the shadows hold darker truths. The real puppetmaster pulls the strings.

As bullets tear through a warehouse of ghosts, loyalties shatter.
Her father faces a traitor’s gun.
Rook takes a bullet meant for her.
A recording holds the key to salvation… and damnation.

He thrusts the evidence into her hands.
“Save them… or let it burn.”

Sirens wail. Blood pools. One choice remains.
But the deadliest secret isn’t who pulled the trigger.
It’s why the gun was loaded.

Justice has a price. Is love the bullet… or the shield?

My name is Shannica. I was abandoned... But I remarried. And I met this six-year-old child, Xenon, the young Chairman's son and the arrogant heir of Lincoln Family who I didn't expect that I would grow fond of. And as soon as I step inside their mansion, I have found my purpose in life and decided on one thing; 'I would protect this child and love him as my own.'

Though it all started with a loveless marriage between me and his father... We became a family and I started loving not just the kid, but also the young Chairman, Xander Lincoln, who longed for his dead wife up until now.

Will I be able to stay on their side for a long time? When will Xander open his heart and see me as his wife? Will I just remain as the billionaire's remarriage contract wife or our love will grow and turn into reality?

Marriage was supposed to bring Sophia happiness, but she faced betrayal.

After her grandmother’s death, Sophia inherited her wealth, making her the richest woman in the city.

The only thing missing in her life was a husband. She met Liam, a handsome man who was not wealthy, but she fell in love with him. They married soon after, but Liam had secret motives. He was not in love with her; in fact, he was gay.

He didn't have feelings for Sophie because he had feelings for men. Liam invited his brother Lucas to live with them for his plan to succeed.

Lucas’s presence would distract Sophie, as he was irresistible to women, thus allowing Liam to collect evidence of her affair. Once he had enough proof, he would divorce her and present it to the court. Making it all seem like Sophie had an affair with her brother-in-law when he was the one who planned it all.

Despite being unaware of the setup, Sophia found herself attracted to Lucas. However, things took a complicated turn when Lucas fell in love with her.

Now the question is, will Lucas reveal the truth about Liam’s plan, or will he stand by and watch the woman he loves get betrayed because she doesn't love him back? It's a tale of forbidden love, intertwining secrets, betrayal, and vengeance.

Clay growled and picked me up. “Clay what are you doing?” I whispered to him.

“Love, you can not come in smelling like that, tell me you want to mate and not expect me to take you to do just that!”

Framed for a crime he didn’t commit, brutally beaten by those he once trusted, and cast aside like trash, Damien Vale stood on the crumbling edge of an abandoned overpass, ready to let the darkness claim him.

Until a crimson interface ignited in the air before him:

[Rebate System Activated]

Those who destroyed him will watch everything they cherish crumble. Armed with an unstoppable system and a merciless new mindset, he will build an empire from the shadows, surround himself with unstoppable allies, and savor every second of his ruthless comeback.

I'll explain, on one condition," it was him. The man, who could give me all answers I've been terrified of, yet weirdly excited to hear out loud.

"What's your condition, then?" I asked, already intrigued in what is it. I mean, he can ask for a lot of things, yet since I haven't taken responsibility for the pack, I'm still nothing more than the Alphas daughter. I'm broke; I don't have a job, I don't own anything, except the motorcycle I've gotten for my birthday. Technically I'll be broke until I take over the pack, that is IF I will decide to.

"Reject me," he stated.

Thaddeus Quell was nobody: a live-in husband turned doormat, slapped for clean floors, bankrupted by his mother-in-law's greed, cuckolded while he fetched groceries. Then his house burned with his wife, daughter, and tormentor inside. He rushed in. He saved them. He fell through fire.  

And something answered.  

A crimson ledger bloomed in his dying vision: touch the dying, see their death, let it happen for money, save them and pay with your life. Now Thaddeus is a billionaire walking corpse—gray hair spreading, organs failing, ghosts whispering vengeance. Every innocent he saves binds a fallen angel to his side. Every villain he lets die (or kills) feeds Echo, the growing shadow that wants the ledger for Hell's throne.  

He wanted to die.  

The system said no.  

Heaven said fight.  

Echo said come closer.  

Now Thaddeus must decide: become the balance-keeper who reaps the wicked and spares the helpless, or let Echo harvest his soul and every child still screaming in the dark.

But when her blood ignites with golden flame and a voice whispers from within the last dragon’s voice her carefully hidden life explodes into chaos.

Hunted through burning streets and haunted by memories that aren’t hers, Lyra must choose between silence and rebellion. To master her power, she must walk the Path of the Ashen Heart a forbidden cultivation that refines strength through loss, rage, and rebirth.

to save the world, she may have to burn the heavens themselves.

"What? Cassy has found her mate.” I asked in shock.

"Yes, and guess who.” My best friend Lani asked.

"Actually, I have no idea. Who is her mate? Tell me quickly! I want to know.”

‘I feel jealous that she already met her mate while we still don't have one until now.’ I said to my wolf Slade.

‘Don't worry Angel, the Moon Goddess is just preparing us for our mate. At the right time, we will meet them.’ My wolf answered.

She is a loner and she likes it that way.

He is the new guy at her school, all strong and possessive alpha male.

Tina isn’t her real name, but it’s the one she wears when she steps into club TRUTH dressed in a stilettos and secrets, posing as a seductive stripper. Beneath the glitter and gloss lies a cold, trained assassin on a deadly mission: eliminate Nikolai Petrov, a corrupt billionaire with a history soaked in blood.
At least that’s what her handler told her.
But the man she targets isn’t some fragile tech mogul- he’s the king of a brutal empire. The head of the Russian crime family. Ruthless, powerful, and disturbingly perceptive. Her blade never makes it to his throat. He overpowers her, and when she wakes up chained in his underground compound, bruised and exposed, Tina realizes two things:
She’s in deep.
And he’s watching her with a hunger that goes far beyond revenge.

She went into the forest to hunt so she could bring food home and survive the winter, unaware that something far more dangerous had already caught her scent and followed her back.

When the beast comes to their farm, it is not by chance.

He knows she is there.

And her stepfather sees an opportunity to make more coin.

For a handful of coin and without hesitation, he offers her up in exchange for more than they have ever had, sealing her fate with a bargain she never agreed to.

Taken into a cursed land ruled by a creature feared by all, she is forced into a life she never chose, bound to a beast who is as cold and unforgiving as the winter itself. He is not a man, not fully, and the darkness within him is something no one has ever been able to control.

She should hate him for what he is and for the power he holds over her, yet the longer she remains in his world, the more the truth begins to unravel. There is something deeper beneath the cruelty, something hidden within the curse, and something in her that seems to answer it.

As the line between monster and man begins to blur, she is forced to face a truth she never expected, because surviving the beast may not be the hardest part.

Learning to trust him might be.

Some powers should never awaken. Some truths were meant to stay buried.

In a world where 60% of the population is born with powers they can name, control, and define, Aile Tsukia is something else entirely. A blank space, She carries a hollow heart and a power without a name… one that doesn’t just destroy, but drags the world’s oldest nightmares out of the dark and into the present.

She remembers nothing of who she truly is. Only the cold edge of vengeance. Only the quiet, consuming wrath that haunts her every dream.

Until she meets someone who begins to change the way she sees her world, someone who understands her in ways no one else can… and may be the only one capable of holding back the terrifying power inside her.

The government buried the truth for a century. Now, it’s clawing its way back to the surface.

"Do you think you are worthy of being mated to the Alpha's son? Huh?" Emily said to me as she looked down at me, with disgust.
My mate's arm wound around her waist, showing his decision.
I was rejected cruelly while my mate succumbed to Emily's charms.
I was hurt and slowly dying, inwardly. I was alone and helpless.

"Don't come near her again. That is a warning you must not transgress."
"Who the hell you are to say that, huh?!"

After devoting seven years of my life to loving a man, I ended up receiving a painful breakup on my birthday. This shattered my reasoning, and in a haste to escape reality, I ventured into a town rumored to be the lair of the Devil, but little did I know that it was actually the lair of Dracula.

Just like in a fairytale, I found my Prince Charming, a cunning but funny man who drove my heart crazy. He wanted something more than just friendship; unknown to us that a huge secret would soon be revealed… I am the evil dragon goddess's daughter!

These questions should always ring in your head at night:

Where do you go when you fall asleep? What were you in your former life? Does the afterlife really exist?


When I looked up, our eyes met. I quickly looked away, feeling a blush creeping onto my cheeks.

"Excuse me, my beautiful lady," he said. “Can I sit beside you?” He asked politely.

I was too flustered to reply, and my heart raced when he smiled at me. I felt a flush of embarrassment tingling my cheeks as he called me a beautiful lady, a phrase I hadn't heard in ages. Unsure of how to respond, I awkwardly shrugged my shoulders, gesturing towards the empty chair beside me.

“Thank you," he said appreciatively and sat down. “I believe we'll discover a lot of things together,” he murmured under his breath.

Vanessa never believed life could truly break her—until it did.

Raised in hardship, she learned early how to survive with grit, dignity, and relentless determination. But when her father, Jonas, collapses under a mysterious and deadly illness, Vanessa’s fragile world crumbles overnight. Hospital bills pile up. Their money disappears. And the people who promised to stand by them—her stepmother and stepsister—walk away without looking back.

What Vanessa doesn’t know is that her father’s life is already forfeit.

Jonas owes an impossible debt to Alaric Moretti, a ruthless Mafia lord whispered about in fear and blood-soaked rumors. Alaric is power incarnate—cold, merciless, and untouchable. When Vanessa is dragged into his world, she expects cruelty. What she doesn’t expect is destiny.

The moment Alaric sees her, something ancient and uncontrollable snaps into place.

Vanessa is his fated mate—a bond so rare it should be sacred. Instead, Alaric rejects it. He refuses her, despises the weakness she awakens in him, and treats her like a bargaining chip rather than a miracle.

To erase Jonas’s debt, Alaric makes a demand that turns Vanessa’s blood to ice: she must sacrifice herself—her blood, her lung—to save his dying girlfriend, Emma. It’s a sentence disguised as mercy.

But Vanessa is no victim.

She counters with a deal of her own—one that shocks even the feared Mafia king. She will comply… only if Alaric marries her. A contract marriage to secure her father’s treatment and protect her siblings’ future.

No love. No promises. Just survival.

Yet in a world ruled by violence, secrets, and fate itself, pretending not to feel might be the deadliest lie of all.

Immyria is a princess on a mission. Does she have what it takes to travel worlds and save her kingdom?

Friends who ditch her. A pod of killer whales. A limping cruise ship. All reasons Iris finds herself stranded on a deserted island with the handsome Navy SEAL...Iris McLaughlin was having a great time on the cruise until the Navy SEAL grabbed her and towed her into a lifeboat. Okay, so maybe "a great time" is a bit of an overstatement. Iris hadn't enjoyed being late to orientation, being the last one on the boat, or sharing a wall with the obnoxious Navy SEAL who has a staring problem.But hey, at least that off-the-shoulder swimming suit her sister had said would work, actually worked.When a pod of killer whales attacks the cruise ship, the captain calls for people to abandon the ship. Justin Brunner, retired Navy SEAL, tows Iris over the side of the boat without a second thought. In the morning light, they discover they're the only ones in a lifeboat and the cruise ship is long gone. Oh, and so are the whales.So maybe Justin had acted a little quickly. He'd been trained to do just that, so she can't really blame him. Can she?They eventually make their way to a tiny speck of an island in the huge Pacific Ocean, relying solely on Iris's hip pack of emergency supplies and Justin's strength, intelligence, and calm demeanor in a crisis. As they navigate the obstacles of food, shelter, and water on the island, a new player arrives: Their feelings for each other.Justin feels like he's playing catch-up because of his possibly premature actions, and Iris is sure a man like him won't be interested once they get back to civilization. Will she risk her heart for the tattooed SEAL? Or will Justin have to fight as hard for her as he did in the Navy?

“You’re staring again,” Evan said suddenly, pulling her from her thoughts. Thea frowned immediately. “In your dreams.” A slow smirk appeared on his lips.“There’s the attitude,” he muttered. She let out an exasperating sigh. 
“I preferred it when you weren’t speaking,” Thea snapped.
“And I preferred it when you weren’t tutoring me,” he shot back.
“Trust me, Captain Dumb Dumb, nobody forced you to fail math this badly,” she said with an annoyed smile. Evan's eyes narrowed slightly at the nickname, and a slow smile grew on her lips, knowing she just won this round of argument. ****************
All Thea wanted was to finish high school with a low profile and good grades. However, that plan was ruined the moment she became Evan Anderson’s math tutor, just the boy she hated. Now suddenly, they were everywhere together. Lunch breaks, weekends, and tutoring sessions that lasted longer than they should. And with every passing day, the tension between them grew more dangerous. Because beneath the arguments and sharp insults was something neither of them wanted to acknowledge. Something intense and frightening. 
Things got worse when rumors began spreading through the school like wildfire, a jealous girlfriend determined to destroy her and an anonymous blog obsessed with exposing every moment she shared with Evan. And worse, a devastating secret buried between their families for years. A secret capable of destroying everything between them before they even understood what they were becoming to each other.
Thea should have known falling for Evan Anderson once had already broken her. This second time might ruin her completely.
