“Are you pregnant or just fat?“ Twenty-three-year-old Princess Devanne Rovin has spent her entire life being compared to her beautiful younger sister. At the Mating Gala, her fated mate publicly humiliates and rejects her so flees. She accidentally encounters the very king whose treaty bride her sister was supposed to become. Except the man she believes is merely his commander is actually King Varek himself. And he doesn’t want Elara. He wants her. Devanne learns the horrifying truth: Varek orchestrated her rejection. He blackmailed Caelan into publicly destroying her so she would flee Aurelia and come directly into northern territory. But there’s something even more disturbing. Varek claims Devanne is his fated mate. So the central question becomes: Did Varek manipulate fate—or did he manipulate everything except fate?

At twenty, Aubrey Hale expected to be planning midterms. Instead, she's planning a wedding — to a stranger. Dante Vescari, the widowed underboss of Kansas City, needs a wife to keep his seat. He chooses Aubrey for one cold reason: marrying her puts her father — the family's trusted advisor — under his own roof, where Dante can watch him. Because Dante knows the secret that could burn the whole family down: Edmund Hale has been meeting a federal agent. What Dante doesn't know is that Aubrey already knows too. She followed her father to the courthouse. She saw the badge. She heard the deal. Now the girl with paint on her hands is marrying the most dangerous man in the city, hiding the secret that could hang her father — while the man she's marrying hides the very same secret, for a very different reason. Two liars. One house. Six weeks until the wedding. And someone is already setting fires to see which of them breaks first.

They called me a monster. Guess what? I don't deny it. I was born into one of the most powerful vampire families, but I was never their precious daughter.

After all, I'm no saint. I'm Zelpunrap.

Julian Vance doesn’t negotiate—he conquers. When my family’s high-fashion empire collapsed under a mountain of debt, he swooped in to buy it all. The only catch? The contract required my signature on a marriage license. With his bespoke suits and billion-dollar software empire, Julian is the ultimate cold, corporate king. But behind closed doors, he rules an international shadow cartel with blood on his hands. He expected a quiet, submissive trophy wife to sit in his gilded New York penthouse. He’s about to learn I don't break easily. The harder I fight him, the more his icy detachment melts into a violent, protective obsession. But just as the lines between bitter hatred and raw passion begin to blur, I uncover the devastating truth: Julian didn't choose me by accident. My father slaughtered his family fifteen years ago, and my new husband is using me as bait to exact his final revenge.

For three years, Athena fought to win the heart of her fated mate, Alpha Enzo, believing that one day he would finally choose her over his former love, Bonnie. But when a rogue ambush left her fighting for her life, Enzo ignored her desperate plea for help to stay by Bonnie’s side. Then Athena discovered the truth: to Enzo and his mother, she was nothing more than a vessel to produce an heir. Heartbroken and betrayed, Athena finally decided to reject their mate bond, but the ruthless Alpha refused to let her go. “You’re my fated mate, Athena. You can’t just walk away from me!” Athena met his gaze coldly. “Watch me, Alpha. I’m done being yours!”

Born into power, Zee Mendez was never a daughter to her parents. She was their most valuable bargaining chip. To save their fading empire, they traded her to Sebastian Morgan, the ruthless heir to the world’s wealthiest dynasty. Sebastian was cold, dangerously possessive, and used to getting whatever he wanted. Marriage was non negotiable. Obedience was expected. Then a devastating crash changed everything. Zee woke from a two month coma with her memories shattered and only a five percent chance of ever recovering them. Taking advantage of her blank slate, Sebastian rewrote their history. He let her believe they were already happily married, that their connection was built on mutual passion and choice. Zee fell for it completely, surrendering her heart to the man she believed was her dream husband. Until the night she stumbles upon a hidden recording in Sebastian's private study. Hearing her own past self weeping, begging not to marry him, sets off a violent avalanche of returning memories. She remembers the forced arrangement, the night she tried to flee, and the blinding headlights rushing toward her car. But buried within the trauma lies a darker, forgotten truth. Zee had not just been a helpless victim. Before the crash, she struck a dangerous bargain of her own with Sebastian and uncovered a deadly secret that could burn his entire empire to the ground. Standing in the doorway, Sebastian watches her realize the truth, his dark eyes unreadable as he locks the room from the inside. "You finally remembered," he murmurs, stepping closer. "But not enough. You still have not remembered what you promised me that night." As the final piece of the puzzle slots into place, Zee comes to a chilling realization. The crash that stole her past was never an accident.

Novaretta Starwood has nothing left to lose—except the fragile freedom she still clings to. Pregnant, abandoned by a cheating husband, and hunted by her own family, she is a werewolf with a dangerously weak wolf and nowhere left to run. When fate forces her into the path of Corvus Stoneheart, the cold and powerful Lycan known only as the Lycan King, the last thing she expects is the searing pull of a mate bond. He should reject her. She is everything a Lycan king should not want. Instead, he offers her a contract: temporary marriage, protection, and the best medical care to heal her broken soul. In return, once the danger has passed, he will sever the bond and set her free. But Corvus carries secrets of his own. A fiancée who never truly was. A pregnancy that threatens to unravel everything. And a quiet ruthlessness that makes Novaretta question whether safety in his arms is worth the price. Every minute she hesitates brings her enemies closer. Every breath she takes near him strengthens a bond neither of them asked for. In a world where mates are forever and kings do not bend, Novaretta must decide: risk her freedom… or risk her heart.
