"You think you can just leave without a trace after what happened that night?" His hands pinned her arms above her head, his piercing blue eyes boring into hers. "W-what do you mean?" she stuttered, his scent reminding her of that night—the night that had changed her life completely. "What do I mean? Are you seriously asking me that, woman? If your brain can't recall how we burned together on that bed, how about I remind you right here?" His face was dangerously close as he growled into her ear. Her eyes widened. He meant it. Every single word. He was the king of the entertainment world, after all. "Let me go," she demanded stubbornly, her voice barely audible. He let out a low, dark chuckle that sent a chill down her spine. "Let you go? Oh, I'll let you go, Tatiana. But not until you understand the consequences of crossing paths with me." •••••••••• In the world of the entertainment industry, we see constant change and creativity. Trends come and go, as do collaborations between artists and producers. This world can make anyone wish to be a part of it—it is said to be inspiring and enjoyable... Meanwhile, that's only on the surface. The same world is filled with deceit, betrayal, fake love, ruthless competition, toxic fans who could ruin you, suicide, and dissatisfaction... This world is mostly dominated by men. How can a woman, hurt by this world, face it—especially when she had a night and her life tangled with the king of them all?

Book 1 It starts with a curse. Jackson King, the most ruthless Alpha King, knows exactly when he will die—cursed by a fate he can’t escape. With his time running out, his last mission is clear: he must save his bloodline before it's too late. But there’s a catch—the only one who can help him is Layla Carlisle. A debt-ridden hotel maid. A disrespectful, wolfless half-blood! Desperate to give her sister a better life, Layla agrees to become Jax’s surrogate, never imagining the dark and dangerous world she’s stepping into. His cold allies look at her with contempt, and Jax himself is a mystery. But as the days pass and the bond between them grows, Layla faces an impossible choice: fulfil her promise and give up the child she’s carrying or confront the deep scars of her own abandonment. Together, they must navigate the treacherous world of werewolf politics, curses, and a connection neither of them expected—one that could destroy them both.

"Kane stays unmoving, and I realize he’s barely breathing. I don’t think he needs oxygen to stay alive, so that’s not too surprising, but I can’t’ figure out why he is so still. His hand at my waist is so very close to my breastbone, the longing for him to slide it up only a few inches, to touch me in places no one ever has before, has a gasp leaving my lips. I have to bite down again to keep from moaning, and he hasn’t even kissed me yet." Emory I was born to be the Alpha of my pack. But now... I am here, in the castle of our greatest enemy, the Vampire King. I should hate Kane, but the more time I spend with him, the more I long for him. I am not here to be his lover, though. I am here to be his feeder. But even before his lips graze my skin the first time, I know I would give myself to him in every way imaginable if only he should ask. Kane I long to taste the wolf shifter, but not her blood, her body. But I'm already betrothed to marry another vampire, and if I call that off, I have resigned my kingdom to yet another war. There has to be a way to keep Emory as my feeder but not claim her in my bed. I just haven't figured it out yet. But I have enemies, and every moment she spends here in my home, Castle Graystone, she's in danger. I can protect her, but at what cost? Am I willing to risk everything to make her mine? Or should I put my duty to my kingdom first?

When wandering healer Elara Nightvale is dragged to the cursed court of the Dragon King, she expects death not the dangerous pull she feels toward the man everyone calls a monster. Gifted with forbidden healing magic that drains her life with every use, Elara has spent years hiding her power. But in the dark kingdom of Ashenrealm, her abilities awaken something ancient and deeply tied to the king himself. Verath Dravenor, ruler of the Ashen Throne, carries the soul of the last dragon and a curse that turns desire into destruction. The closer he grows to someone, the more unstable his power becomes. Lovers have died. Allies fear him. He has sworn never to want anyone again. Until Elara arrives. Her presence calms the dragon within him yet ignites an obsession he cannot control. Forced into proximity after an assassination attempt and rising rebellion, Elara and Verath become reluctant allies. She heals his wounds; he shields her from enemies who would exploit her rare bloodline. With every touch, their bond deepens, blurring the line between survival and forbidden attraction. But Ashenrealm is on the brink of war. Rival kingdoms plot to overthrow the Dragon King, while dark magic resurfaces, threatening to unleash an ancient power tied to Elara’s lineage. As Verath’s curse worsens, he must choose: push her away and lose control… or claim her and risk consuming her completely. When passion finally ignites, their magic intertwines in a soulbinding union that could break the curse or destroy the kingdom. In a world where love is dangerous and power demands sacrifice, Elara and Verath must decide if their bond will save Ashenrealm…or burn it to ashes.
