THE HOCKEY CAPTAIN’S SECRET CRUSH Eli Parker has one rule at Blackthorn University: never let Adrian Cross get under his skin. As the ruthless captain of the hockey team, Adrian is arrogant, demanding, and infuriatingly attractive, the exact kind of man Eli should stay away from. Unfortunately, they are also the university’s fiercest rivals, constantly battling for the top spot both on and off the ice. Then a housing mistake forces them to become roommates. Suddenly, Eli is seeing a side of Adrian nobody else knows. The stolen glances, the lingering touches, the midnight conversations that leave their hearts racing, and the way Adrian looks at him like he wants to cross every boundary between them. Their hatred quickly becomes a dangerous attraction neither can control. But Eli has no idea that Adrian has been secretly crushing on him for months. When their first forbidden kiss finally happens, they agree to keep their relationship hidden until the championship is over. Yet secret kisses soon become impossible to resist, and jealousy threatens to expose them. Then Eli discovers Adrian’s deepest secret: every anonymous love note he received was written by the hockey captain himself. Before they can decide what their relationship means, someone discovers their secret and threatens to destroy Adrian’s career. Now Adrian must choose between the championship he sacrificed everything for and the boy who became his greatest weakness.

I spent nine years begging my husband to love me. In return, he gave me betrayal, torture, and death. Kai cheated on me with my stepsister, Hellen. My father chose Miranda, the woman who stole my mother's empire. Together, they drugged me, branded me insane, and locked me away to die. They knew I was being tortured. Neither came to save me. Only Valerian, my husband's cold, untouchable uncle, held me as I took my final breath. As I died in his arms, I made one last promise: if fate gave me another chance, I'd never beg for love again. Then I opened my eyes. I was back in the past. This time, I'll reclaim my mother's empire, expose their lies, and make everyone who destroyed me regret it. I'll choose myself first. Then I'll choose Valerian. But the professor I've fallen for hides a dangerous secret. And this time, I'm not afraid of the darkness. Because my second chance isn't just about revenge. It's about claiming the man who might be more dangerous than all my enemies combined.

Three minutes before the dead rise. And this time, Claire Bennett refuses to follow the script.

When seventeen-year-old Willow Hayes moves into the remote Thorne mansion with her mother's new husband, she expects awkwardness - not a supernatural war for survival. Her stepbrother, Kael Thorne, is the arrogant king of Crestwood High and heir to a secret werewolf Pack. But when their eyes meet, an ancient Mate Bond snaps into place, marking Willow as the one person who can prevent Kael from succumbing to the deadly Feral Shift - a state of uncontrolled rage that means death. The problem? Kael's father, Alpha Marcus Thorne, sees Willow's humanity as a fatal weakness that endangers the entire Pack. His rival, the brutal Darek Ironfang, sees her as the perfect weapon to destroy Kael's claim to leadership. And Sierra, Kael's scorned ex-girlfriend, will stop at nothing to expose their forbidden connection. Caught between werewolf politics and deadly Pack law, Willow must transform from invisible high school student to strategic mastermind. As Kael faces three brutal Trials to claim the Alpha title - the Blood Hunt, the Leadership Rite, and the Ritual of Dominance - Willow becomes his secret weapon: the Obsidian Anchor, using their psychic bond to control his Feral instincts from afar. But the bond demands a terrible price. Each time Willow stabilizes Kael's wolf, she risks fragmenting her own mind. When betrayal strikes from within and enemies attack from without, Willow must make an impossible choice: save herself, or save the wolf who has become her entire world. In a final, devastating confrontation, Kael faces the Feral Shift in front of the entire Pack. Only Willow's unprecedented psychic command - and her willingness to sacrifice everything - can pull him back from the brink. Together, they forge a revolutionary new law: the Alpha's power is incomplete without the Mate's wisdom.
