Danica Jones is a fierce, talented hockey player who has fought her entire life to be taken seriously in a male-dominated sport. When she becomes the first and only woman to make the university’s elite Division I men’s hockey team, she expects resistance — but nothing prepares her for Captain Caleb Ruiz. Caleb is the arrogant, brooding, and undeniably gifted team captain who rules the ice with an iron fist and a permanent scowl. From the moment Danica steps onto his rink, he makes it brutally clear that he doesn’t want her there. His sharp words cut deep, yet his actions tell a different story: during practice he deliberately traps her against the boards, his hard, gear-clad body pressing intimately into hers under the guise of “fixing her stance.” The tension between them is immediate, electric, and dangerously forbidden. When a housing crisis forces Danica to move into the hockey team house — right next door to Caleb — their icy glares and biting arguments quickly spiral into something far more intense. Late-night hallway collisions, shared showers, and accidental touches turn into stolen, frantic encounters. What begins as pure hatred and resentment slowly melts into raw, addictive lust, and eventually into something deeper. As they navigate secret hookups in the locker room, risky hotel room nights during away games, jealous rages, and the constant threat of the team finding out, Caleb and Danica must confront the truth: the arrogant captain doesn’t hate that she’s on his team — he hates how desperately he needs her, both on the ice and in his bed.

I was with a fishmonger for seven years. Every night, he pinned me beneath him, reckless and wild. Until one day, he took off his bloodstained apron and came clean–he was getting engaged to Sophia, the Bilotti heiress. Only then did I learn that he was the Don of the Colleo family. “Hahaha! You fooled around with Ms. Mancini for seven years, only to take another delicate young lady’s hand in marriage. Surely, she’s going to come at you.” “Don Colleo, you should keep things sweet with her.” His men’s laughter echoed in my ears. “What’s the rush? I’ve broken her well enough these past seven years. If you don’t mind, you can have her for a couple of days. Evelyn… flexible.” On the day of Vincent’s engagement party, I handed the evidence of his crimes to the police. As the sirens ripped open the city night, someone called out my name. I smiled and leaped from the eighteenth floor.

She thought love had an expiration date. He proved it could burn forever. Veronica Hale walked away from passion at twenty-five and paid for it with twelve years of a loveless marriage. Now forty-one, divorced, and convinced desire has passed her by, she steps into the glittering world of high fashion as the right-hand to powerful CEO Sandra Lawson her long-lost best friend. Then she meets him. Ethan Lawson. Twenty-five. Brilliant. Dangerous. Sandra’s only son. What begins as stolen glances and forbidden conversations ignites into a secret, all-consuming affair that neither can resist. When the truth explodes, Veronica flees carrying a secret that will change everything. Three months later, fate forces them back together. One child. One unforgiving city ready to judge. One love that refuses to die. In a world obsessed with age, status, and propriety, Veronica and Ethan must decide: Is forever worth the scandal… or is it the only thing that ever mattered?

Adam Wilson was broke, invisible, and one insult away from giving up. Until the day arrogance paid him back. After a brutal public humiliation, his life changes with a single notification: [Arrogance Amplification System Activated] The rules are simple. Act superior. Make them believe it. The more people see him as arrogant, the richer he becomes. What starts as small, calculated risks —outsmarting classmates, making bold claims, turning pocket change into thousands — quickly spirals into something bigger. Every victory boosts his wealth, status, and confidence. Every loss threatens to drag him back to nothing. Soon, it’s no longer just about money. It’s about reputation. Power. Dominance. In a world where pride rules everything, Adam Wilson is forced to walk a dangerous line between confidence and destruction. Because one mistake, one failed claim, one moment of weakness… …and everything he’s built can collapse. Now the question isn’t whether he can rise. It’s how far he’s willing to go. And if he can be arrogant enough.

"They're coming, Benedicta. Grab all your stuff right now!" One second, I snapped my head around at the panicked Paul who clutched a towel around his waist. But when I looked back, the creature was gone. Shocked by the sudden disappearance, my eyes darted around in search of nothing. "Did you hear what I fucking said? Gather your stuff and let's go!" "Did you-did you see that?" I pointed at the empty window oozing in chilling air. As the breeze got stronger, so did my confusion. "Wake the hell up, Beni," Paul yelled, startling me off my trance. "What is wrong with you?" Without saying a word to Paul, I followed him like a doll as he led me out of the room through a secret passage. "Find them. They haven't gone far." That deep scratchy voice penetrated the walls. "Search the bushes. As ordered, bring her alive." —-------------- —-------------- Benedicta, a young girl sets out to retrieving a glowing stone buried in the depths of the earth, located near Beast Land, a terrifying place inhabited by massive werewolves known as the Lycans. Despite the danger, Benedicta is determined to find the stone, which is said to possess great power. Meanwhile, the Alpha of the lycan pack is cursed, and has been unable to produce an heir for thousands of years. Each time he chooses a pair of lycans to mate and produce offspring with, the pups turn into stone as soon as they are born. His Lunas (female werewolves) also die soon after the curse takes effect. When Benedicta crosses paths with the enraged Alpha, she inadvertently restores his youthful appearance, with just a STEP, triggering a rage that threatens to destroy them both. Hot tension rains down on them as the changes begin.
