Forbidden By Her Mafia Stepbrother

“You are my stepbrother,” Viola whispered, her back pressing against the locked mahogany door. “Stepbrother.” The word left Sebastian’s lips like a curse. His shadow swallowed the room, caging her against the wood. He caught her chin, forcing her violet eyes to meet the ruthless amber of his. “A piece of paper doesn’t make us family, Dulzura,” he murmured, his thumb brushing her trembling lower lip. “It just makes you mine.” ************************************* Sebastian Cain Hierro doesn’t do romance. There are no gentle promises, no soft apologies, and absolutely no love games. A man bred in the violence of the cartel only understands one language: absolute, brutal control. For Viola, being dragged into his dark orbit is a terrifying awakening. She is a girl who only ever wanted to be cherished, suddenly trapped in a forbidden reality with a stepbrother who demands her complete surrender. Every touch behind closed doors is a sin. Every whisper is a command. Surviving him means playing by his twisted rules.

But a girl like Viola doesn't know how to give her body without giving her soul. And when she inevitably pours all her desperate, unspoken love into a monster who is completely incapable of loving her back... where is her shattered heart supposed to go? *** Follow me on Instagram: @authorpria for exclusive teasers, sneak peeks, and book updates.

He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy

While everyone rushed to comfort them, I became the villain for refusing to smile through my own humiliation. Then Damien Black walked into the room. Powerful. Untouchable. The one man Ethan feared.

The Alpha Slipped Inside The Wrong Sister

The bed was wet beneath me, soaked, my thighs jelly. A grunt, one so husky brushed against my ear as he moved. "Don't tell Kimberly," Alpha Ryan groaned. I shudder beneath him. Kimberly was his future Luna. She was also my sister. I looked up at him beneath my lashes. "Don't tell my sister you're inside the wrong one?"

CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON

"You have this beauty that captivates men, don’t you? There were plenty of naked women in this room, but the second you walked in, the men lost control. They wanted a piece of you. They wanted to own you." His fingers trail down my jaw, tilting my chin up. "Not knowing you already belong to me." I swallow hard, my breath caught in my throat. He moves away, settling into a chair with ease. He unbuttons his coat, leans back, spreads his legs apart like a king, which I guess he is... And then, his voice turns lethal. "From now on, Ariella Costa, you are mine to use. Mine to play with. Mine to do with as I please." The words hit me like a heart attack. "Your body belongs to me. Your mind belongs to me. Your soul belongs to me." He smirks, his dark eyes locking onto mine. "I own you."

CROWNLESS AT GREYWATCH ACADEMY

Marlowe Kestrel arrives at Greywatch Academy as Unranked — no known bloodline, no status, no protection — and refuses, from her very first hour on campus, to perform the deference the system demands of her. She doesn't grovel. She doesn't apologize for existing in spaces built to remind her she doesn't belong in them. That refusal is what first draws Emeric Castellan's attention — not simple cruelty, but a focused, unsettling scrutiny that makes clear, from their very first meeting, that he already knows something about her name that she doesn't.

Almost Honest

A scholarship student fakes a relationship with the school’s golden boy to secure her future only to realize the life she’s chasing might not be hers to claim, and the boy she used might be the one person she can’t afford to lose.

MY FORBIDDEN SHOWMANCE

Ninety days. One summer contract. Plenty of time to make some questionable decisions. Tessa came to town for one thing: the role of a lifetime. Landing the lead is everything she's worked for, and if she can survive ninety days of rehearsals, performances, and backstage drama, it could change her future. Then she meets Danny. Tall, dark-haired, ridiculously attractive, and her leading man. A summer showmance with him wouldn't be the worst way to spend three months. There's just one problem: Danny barely seems to notice her. And the returning cast's inner circle has made it painfully clear that the new girl who walked in and landed the lead isn't welcome. Enter Jay. Blond, annoyingly fit, and absolutely not her type, the local dancer invites her paddleboarding after rehearsal. One chaotic afternoon turns into late nights, river bars, bad decisions, and Tessa constantly asking the same question: What are we doing tomorrow? With Jay, summer is easy. Backstage, it's anything but. Claire, Tessa's understudy, seems determined to prove Tessa never deserved the role in the first place. The whispers are getting harder to ignore. And just when Danny finally starts giving Tessa everything she thought she wanted, she discovers her leading man might not be on her side after all. Then there's the one rule Tessa absolutely cannot afford to break. No relationships between cast members. Getting caught could cost her the lead and the dream she came here for. Danny is supposed to be the guy she wants. Jay is supposed to be her safe haven. But somewhere between rehearsals, secrets, stolen nights, and a cast waiting for her to screw up, Tessa starts falling for the one person she never planned on wanting. The contract ends in ninety days. Getting caught could end her dream a lot sooner.

Never Coming Back

On my wedding day, my fiancé and my younger sister Rachel were caught doing the dirty in the private lounge. I immediately became a laughing stock, until my childhood friend Jason Law publicly proposed to me, defending my honor. After we got married, he was the perfect husband… except for his performance in the bedroom. It was like his heart was never in it. I only managed to get pregnant after going for IVF this year. After that, he became even more protective of me. I once believed he was my sanctuary… until I overheard his conversation with his friend. “You’re ruthless, Jason. Nina’s so good to you. How could you swap out her egg with Rachel’s just because Rachel is too afraid of the pain to give birth? “The baby’s due in two months. What do you plan to do then?” Jason was silent for a bit, then he sighed. “I’ll give Rachel the baby once it’s born. It’s one of her greatest wishes, after all. “As for Nina, I’ll tell her the baby died. “I’ll make it up to her by staying with her for the rest of her life.” So that was how it was. He only protected me so gently for her sake. I turned around and immediately made a surgery appointment. I was throwing away this filthy baby… and this false marriage.

When It All Fell Apart

It was our wedding anniversary when my husband's high school sweetheart posted a sonogram picture on her social media, with her captioning a public thank-you to my husband: [Thank you to the man who's been there for me for ten years, and for giving me a son.] The room spun, and anger surged through me as I quickly commented: [So, you're proud of being a homewrecker?] Almost immediately, my husband called, his voice full of rage. "How can you think such disgusting things? All I did was help her with IVF, fulfilling her dream of becoming a single mom. "And by the way, Ruby only needed one try to get pregnant, while you’ve been through three rounds with nothing. Your body is useless!" Just three days ago, he told me he was going abroad for business—ignoring my calls and messages the entire time. I thought he was just busy. However, it turned out he was with her, attending her prenatal checkup. Half an hour later, Ruby posted again, showing off a table full of delicious food. [I got tired of French food, so Ash made me all my favorite dishes. He’s the best!] I stared at the pregnancy test in my hand, the joy I had felt earlier now completely gone. After eight years of love and six years of swallowing my pride just to keep the marriage alive, I’m finally ready to let go.

Love, Broken, and Found

I married the same man seven times. He had divorced me seven times for his first love, just so he could spend vacations with her freely, and so she wouldn't have to deal with rumors or gossip. The first time we divorced, I tried to stop him by hurting myself. I ended up in the hospital, but he didn't even come to see me. The second time, I lowered myself to apply as his assistant at his company, just so I could see him more. By the sixth divorce, I had already learned to pack my things quietly and leave our apartment without a fuss. My meltdowns, my constant giving in, and my numb compromises only led to one thing: him coming back to marry me on schedule, and repeating the same old games. Until now. When I heard that his first love was returning to the country, I handed him the divorce papers first. As usual, he made a plan to remarry me later, but this time, he had no idea that I was leaving for good.

This Time, I'm Choosing My Rich Dad

On the day Grandma dies, my parents, who have both remarried, argue nonstop over where I should go. In my past life, I feel sorry for my overworked mom, Melissa Tanner, so I volunteer to stay with her. The lottery ticket I help her pick even wins her a ten-million-dollar jackpot. But once she strikes it rich, she showers my stepdad, Tristan Walker, and my younger siblings with mansions and luxury cars, yet refuses to buy me even a few hundred dollars' worth of painkillers. In the end, I'm diagnosed with a brain tumor and die in agonizing pain in my bed. This time around, Mom frowns and lets out sigh after sigh. "Your dad's married to a rich woman now. Go with him and live a good life. I've got too many kids at home. There's just no room for you." My dad, Derek Bennett, twirls his car keys, his tone indifferent. "That's not fair. The more kids, the merrier. Besides, there are a lot of rules at my place, and those twins from Rebecca's previous marriage are a real handful. Felix is used to running wild. If he comes with me, those twins will make his life miserable." As they keep passing the buck back and forth, I feel nothing. When they impatiently ask me who I'm going with, I silently pick up my bag and walk over to Dad. Dad's face darkens instantly. Mom, on the other hand, lets out a long sigh of relief, unable to suppress the gleeful smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. What she doesn't know is that without me there to stop Tristan, he will toss the lottery ticket into the washing machine, reducing it to a pile of useless scraps. Now that I have a second chance, all I want is to live a little more comfortably before I die.

He Chose Her Son, So Our Son Called Him Mr. Carter

Lily Harper was my husband Victor Carter's first love. The day she got divorced, Victor dressed up and headed out with the newest toy on the market for her son. That was the day I started teaching our son, Arthur, to call him "Mr. Carter." He skipped Arthur's first-day-of-school assembly to take Lily's son, Leo, to an amusement park. I told Arthur, "Mr. Carter has a lot of work to do." When Lily called to say her place felt empty, Victor walked out on us on Christmas Day. I comforted my heartbroken son. "Let Mr. Carter go do his work. Mommy will always be here with you." Later, the two boys got into a fight at school, and the teacher called us in. Victor stood across from Arthur and me, right beside Lily. Arthur clenched his fists. "Mr. Carter, your precious Leo hit me first." When we got home, Victor realized how badly he'd hurt Arthur and decided to throw him a huge birthday party. In the middle of the party, Lily called again, crying because Leo had a fever. Victor put his phone down and gave Arthur an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, I..." Arthur looked back at him, his face blank. "It's okay, Mr. Carter. I have Mom. That's enough."

The Last Prophecy

“Get rid of it. Vivienne and I already have a daughter.” That was my husband’s response when I told him I was pregnant. Vivienne was my apprentice. Lucian was my mate—the Alpha who had fought beside me, taken bullets for me, and promised me a lifetime together. Their affair had started the night we formed our bond. Now he wanted me to lose our child because he had promised her that no other woman would bear his children. Before my mother died, she left four prophecies inside me. The first two saved my life. The third warned me never to marry Lucian. I should have listened. But when the fourth prophecy finally appears, it gives me an order I can’t accept: Do not sever the mate bond. Lucian knows about the warning. He uses it to keep me beside him, even as he lets his mistress turn me into a living target—and pulls the trigger himself when I fight back. Then their daughter disappears. Suddenly, the bond he refused to break becomes negotiable. To save his child, he’ll hand me over to the enemies who want me dead. He thinks I have nowhere else to go. He’s forgotten about Kasper. The ruthless Alpha of the Eastern Pack once offered a fortune for my head. Now he might be my only way out—and the only man willing to stand between me and Lucian. One broken bond. One dangerous bargain. One chance to choose my own future. But Lucian isn’t ready to lose me. And the closer I get to freedom, the more questions surface about the prophecies that shaped my life. Why does my husband know so much about my mother’s warnings? And why is he so desperate to stop me from learning the truth?
