Callahan Hastings is relentless when it comes to getting what he wants, and what he wants is me–to be his private chef in the Hamptons for the summer. My dream job served to me on a silver platter by one of the wealthiest members of Pembroke Hills Country Club. The only catch? He’s my ex-boyfriend’s older brother with a reputation for being as charming as he is cunning. But Cal doesn’t take no for an answer. He draws you in with flirty smiles and extravagant promises. I should have seen him coming, but I didn’t. I should have stayed away, but I couldn’t. His playful touches and burning gaze have ignited a fire in me. The more I resist him, the more irresistible he becomes. I've always known there's an expiration date on the job–an expiration date on us. But leaving isn't going to be easy with Cal on his knees, begging me to stay...

I watched as a smug smirk formed on the corner of his lips, my heart breaking into a million pieces as my enemy triumphed over my pain. He then stride towards a cloth, using it to wipe his bloody palm, he didn't give me a reply; not yet. Finally, after what feels like an eternity of moments, he speaks up. “You would bear my heir” he replies as though it's the most casual thing to say. “And your opinion is irrelevant” ******* Iskander Damaris stood at the edge of a dark forest, his golden eyes burning with hunger. Calyx Vale's scent was etched in his mind, a fire in his blood. She was a rare-blooded she-wolf, the only kind who could bear an Alpha's heir - his heir. Her scent lingered, and a cruel smile spread across his lips. He'd spent years searching, destroying packs, and now he'd finally found her.

To save Hugh, I took the hit—literally. The kidnappers beat me so bad I ended up with a brain hemorrhage. My mind? Stuck at thirteen. Hugh, all guilt and promises, said, "Wenna, I'll protect you forever." And he did. He watched over me. When the house caught fire, he threw himself over me, took the burns, didn't flinch. Then came his oh-so-perfect foster sister. "Mia's not into... slow people. Maybe you should live next door," he said. And my son? The one I nearly died bringing into the world? "Stupid woman! You embarrass me and Dad. You're nothing like Aunt Mia—she's smart and pretty. If it weren't for you, she could've been my mom. You should just die!" To play hero for Mia, my son shoved me into the street. A truck did the rest. When I opened my eyes, I was back on the day Hugh proposed. This time? I wasn't here for his pity. And I sure as hell wasn't marrying him.

"You know you are a bad girl huh?" He whispers, his hands caressing all over my back. I lean back from his ear, meeting his mischievous smirk. "You are a bad boy too Kayden. Maybe that is why we get along." ~ Falling for your best friend is a dangerous gamble, but when desire refuses to obey the rules, the heart plays recklessly. ‎ ‎Lisa and Kayden have been best friends since college—two inseparable souls bound by loyalty, trust, and a hidden desire too deep to name.

SHE DIED BETRAYED. SHE WAS REBORN FOR REVENGE. ☆☆☆ On the Grand Moon Night, Serena finally found her fated mate—only to witness Alpha Dominic in bed with her step-sister, Vivian. When she confronted them, they didn't just reject her. They killed her. Thrown off a cliff and left for dead, Serena made a desperate prayer to the Moon Goddess: Give me another chance, and I'll make them pay. Her prayer was answered. Serena awakens in a new body with a new face, but the same burning need for vengeance. She's now Serena Hayden, daughter of the West Pack's Beta, and she's just married the most dangerous wolf in existence—Supreme Alpha Kael, ruler of the North Pack. But nothing is as it seems. Kael has three mistresses who want her gone, a dead brother who just returned alive, and secrets darker than the blood moon itself. Worse, he knows something's different about her. He can sense the fire burning beneath her skin, the rage simmering in her eyes, and the power thrumming through their mate bond. "I don't know who you are," he whispers against her lips, "but I'm going to find out." Serena has one goal: destroy the ones who destroyed her.

She's falling for the one man who could expose her secret. And her enemies? They're closer than she ever imagined.

All of it started in an auction where I didn’t know that will change my life entirely. “Where a-am I?” Unlike the girls that have been bought by these men, my bidding started at a jaw-dropping amount. I never thought that a girl like me would start bidding at $20,000 in an underground black market like this. I was just looking down, hearing the surprising amount they are willing to bid just to have me only until the bidding went up to million. A man who's in his 60's came, betting almost a million dollars which made the crowd silent. I thought that the old man will be my owner but I was wrong when a man was strong enough to oppose him, betting ten million dollars just to have me. "Can you just b-bring me back to my h-house?" I spoke, breaking the silence. "I won't waste fucking millions just to free you, woman. You will serve your purpose to me," he spoke out using his thunderbolt tone. The thought of fleeing away from him slipped off my mind as the tension between us has been added by a fuel in a scorching fire, a fire that we built and a deep connection we both agreed. I should be scared of him, I should be running away but the contrary was happening. I just found myself on his bed, naked whilst he was drowning me with his poisonous kisses. “I promise to keep you safe… and won’t let you slip away from me, Amore.” People say love is the most important thing in this world. At first, Ares didn't believe as he only see it as a hindrance but when he experienced it for himself, he could no longer get up on Mariana's scheming fire burning around him.

"I, Caleb Parker, the next alpha of the shadow hills pack reject you, Rebeccah Smith as my mate and future Luna" The words burned through me with the worst kind of pain.
