Elena Vance has spent five years being quiet. Quiet in her spotless kitchen, quiet under her husband’s fists, quiet when the world around her forgot she existed. Mark Vance has taken her savings, her friends, and her freedom. Then he loses $250,000 to the Ironhead Cartel. When Jax Mercer walks into their home, he doesn’t ask for the money. He takes what Mark loves most: his car, his watch, and his wife. And Mark lets him. Jax is the cold, calculating king of a criminal empire, a man who has never needed to raise his voice. He holds Elena as collateral, and he has no intention of being kind. But when he sees the bruises Mark left on her skin, something in him turns to ice. He doesn’t touch broken things. He doesn’t clean up another man’s mess. And he doesn’t share what belongs to him. Locked inside Jax’s compound, Elena is terrified, trapped, and sure she is about to be destroyed. Instead, she is handed a dangerous job: help Jax find a traitor hiding in his own house. It is the one thing she is good at, and the first time in years that anyone has needed her. But Jax is a man who trades in power, not mercy. Every day under his roof pulls Elena deeper into his world, and every night makes it harder for her to tell whether she’s his captive, his weapon, or something far more dangerous to them both. As rival cartels circle, Mark returns to claim what he sold, and the line between ownership and obsession begins to burn, Jax will have to choose: let go of his collateral, or burn down everything he’s built to keep her safe.

Isabella Rossi has 48 hours to come up with €300,000 or her brother Luca disappears permanently. Luca gambled with the wrong man — Alessandro De Santis, Il Capo of Milan’s most feared crime family. When Isabella storms into his club to beg for mercy, Alessandro offers her a deal instead of a bullet. One year. Live at his Lake Como estate. Be his on paper when he demands it. Follow his rules. After 365 days, the debt is erased and her brother walks free. Break the contract early, and Luca pays with blood. To Alessandro, Isabella is just a new experiment. Politicians, cops, rival bosses — they all break within days of meeting him. He’s curious how long it takes a woman with nothing left to lose. To Isabella, Alessandro is a monster in a tailored suit. Cold, controlling, and lethal. Rule #1: Don’t fall in love with me. Easy, she thinks. She hates him. But the estate isn’t a prison of iron bars. It’s gilded cages, midnight conversations in the library, scars he doesn’t explain, and a man who watches her like she’s the only threat he can’t neutralize. The more rules he makes, the more he breaks them himself. Protection turns into possession. Glances turn into touches. And the contract’s fine print becomes a countdown neither of them can escape. Because Alessandro has enemies who want his empire, and now they want her too. When Luca’s betrayal runs deeper than debt and Isabella becomes a target, Alessandro has to choose: the empire he killed to build, or the woman he swore was just collateral. 365 days to survive him. 365 days for him to ruin her. 365 days to fall in love with the last man she should ever trust.

He stole her to save his heart. The court's plan was to take hers. Wren Calloway mends locks in a border village, and she has one rule: never leave anything open. Ten years ago she left a gate unlatched — and the fae took her mother through it. On Tithe Night, Prince Rhydian Thornveil breaks his own court's law in front of the whole village. He doesn't take the tithe. He takes her. His heart is turning to black briar-wood, thorn by thorn — the curse that unmade his father. In twenty-nine days the last thorn reaches the centre, and the court will have to kill the thing on the throne. Only one pair of hands can cut the curse-thorn free: hands that can hold cold iron without burning. An iron-hand. Wren is the first found in a hundred years. What the court isn't telling her: their original cure was simpler. Her living heart, grafted in place of his dying one. The prince burned that order before he ever saw her face — and his refusal is treason.

Because some things cannot be taken, bought, or bargained for. They can only be given. Stolen by the Fae Prince is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers fae romantasy with a cursed prince, a competent heroine, lethal court etiquette, and a bargain with teeth. Book 1 of The Veilbound Courts — HFN ending, series HEA guaranteed.

I booked the island to sleep with a stranger. One week, someone beautiful, nothing that follows me home. After five years alone I'd decided my body was mine to spend. I never made it to the second night. I wake in mud, under stars in the wrong places, six hundred years before I was born. Eleven days later I'm standing on an auction block in a medieval market, barefoot and bleeding, refusing to look at the floor while a stranger checks my teeth. That's when the crowd goes quiet. He's the biggest thing I've ever seen — black and gold, a wolf pelt across one shoulder, more money on his hands than this valley will see in a lifetime. He doesn't bid. He kills the man who does. "Don't thank me," he says. "I didn't save you. I claimed you." Lucien St. Claire is an alpha wolf shifter and the immortal lord of a mountain kingdom where gold is so worthless they line the gutters with it. He's arrogant, possessive, filthy-mouthed — and immovable about one thing. He won't touch me while I'm wearing his collar. Fine. I'll take it off myself. That's how it starts. It isn't how it ends. Two centuries later, in a city of canals and masks, we're the couple everyone wants at their table and nobody dares cross. His name on the banks. Mine on my own door. We had eight good years before it came apart. Now I'm thirty-five, legally dead, standing in a century I don't recognise and ten years late. And somewhere in this city, a billionaire CEO has been quietly buying the world since 2020 — because if he owned enough of it, he'd eventually find what he lost. He's had six years to get ready for me.

To end a war that has claimed countless lives, Prince Caelan is forced into a political marriage with the one man he despises, the feared King Draven of the North. Whispers paint Draven as a ruthless tyrant and a monster who never reveals his face, hiding behind a black hooded cowl mask. Cold, unreadable, and merciless, he inspires fear wherever he goes. Caelan vows he will never submit to the man who stole his freedom. But as they journey to the frozen northern kingdom, the lines between hatred and desire begin to blur. Behind Draven's silence lies a dangerous secret, and hidden enemies are waiting to tear their fragile alliance apart. Bound by duty, haunted by betrayal, and drawn together by a passion neither of them can control, Caelan and Draven must decide whether to destroy each other... or risk everything for a love born in darkness. In a world where kingdoms are built on blood and trust is more dangerous than any blade, falling in love may be the deadliest choice of all.

Everyone knows Dahlia Gray as the sweetest girl they could ever meet. She's beautiful, intelligent, soft-spoken, and always knows exactly what to say. She helps people, smiles at strangers, and never seems to get angry. To everyone around her, Dahlia is simply perfect. But perfection can be dangerous. Behind her gentle smile is a mind that doesn't work like everyone else's. Dahlia doesn't feel guilt the way she should. She doesn't fear consequences. And when someone gets in her way, she knows exactly how to make them disappear without leaving a trace. Then she meets Max Holland. Max is observant, stubborn, and strangely immune to Dahlia's charm. Instead of falling for her innocent act, he starts noticing the little things—the coldness behind her eyes, the lies that don't quite add up, and the way she never seems afraid. Dahlia should stay away from him. Instead, she becomes fascinated. What starts as a harmless game slowly turns into something neither of them expected. Because Max is getting closer to discovering the truth, while Dahlia is beginning to feel something she's never understood before. And when love becomes tangled with obsession, secrets, and blood, one question remains: Can a monster truly fall in love, or will she destroy the only person who ever saw through her?
