Ben Hur

“I desire you in the most maddening way,” Kael growled, his lips just a breath from mine. “Then show me,” I whispered, heart racing, already undone. *** In a world ruled by instincts, some bonds go deeper than blood. Eira Vale is a quiet healer with secrets buried deeper than the forest she’s summoned to. When duty forces her into the territory of the Blackridge Pack, she doesn’t expect to survive long—especially not under the cold, watchful gaze of Alpha Kael Thorne. Feared. Respected. Untouchable. Kael is everything Eira was taught to avoid—dominant, dangerous, and far too tempting. But something ancient stirs between them, something primal neither of them understands… or dares to name. As the wild begins to close in, Eira must decide what’s more terrifying: the bond tying her to a man with the power to break her—or the truth that’s been hunting her all along. Dark, seductive, and emotionally charged, "Beneath the Howl" is a slow-burn romance where fate is a curse, desire is dangerous, and nothing is as it seems. ***

After years of struggling to survive, Akayda Jordan finally lands her dream job — personal assistant/secretary in one of the best companies in the whole of California. To celebrate her new beginning, she decides to give one last “performance” at the elite club she’s about to leave behind. One night. One masked encounter. One forbidden act. But fate twists cruelly. The man she had danced for in the dark turns out to be her new boss — Damian Knight. He’s engaged. She’s desperate to keep her secret buried. But when Damian starts sensing something achingly familiar about his new assistant — the scent of her perfume, the way she looks away when he stares too long — the walls between them begin to crack. But he was sure the girl with the big glasses was not the girl with the mask and firefly tattoo who had woken up a hunger in him. Soon, professionalism turns into tension. Tension turns into temptation. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous her secret becomes. Because if Damian ever discovers she’s the masked girl he’s been searching for… she might lose not just her job, but her heart.

Acht Jahre war ich verheiratet, als ich das milliardenschwere Erbe meines Großvaters antrat. Es war für mich und meinen Mann bestimmt, der aus einer Mafia-Familie stammte. Doch als der Anwalt die Übergabe vorbereitete, stellte sich heraus, dass unsere Heiratsurkunde gefälscht war – und das gesamte Vermögen nun allein mir zufiel. „Frau Rhein, laut unseren Systemen wurden Sie bereits vor einem Jahr geschieden. Die rechtmäßige Ehefrau von Herrn Bergmann ist ... Anna Sommer.“ „Sie gelten derzeit als ledig.“ „Das bedeutet, Herr Bergmann hat kein Recht auf das Erbe.“ Anna Sommer – Lukas Bergmanns erste Liebe aus den Jahren im Ausland. Als ich die Nachricht des Anwalts las, konnte ich sie lange nicht verwinden. All die Zuneigung, all die Fürsorge, die Lukas mir in den vergangenen Jahren entgegengebracht hatte – sie waren nichts als eine Lüge. Eigentlich hatte ich geplant, ihm an unserem Hochzeitstag zu sagen, dass ich schwanger war – etwas, worauf wir beide acht Jahre lang gewartet hatten. Aber jetzt sah ich, dass er sich darauf wohl kaum gefreut hätte. Ich legte die Hand auf meinen Bauch und dachte still: Selbst wenn meine Zwillinge keinen Vater haben, wird alles gut sein. Aus diesem von Lügen durchtränkten Ort wollte ich nur noch eines – fliehen.

Will their love be enough to overcome the obstacles in their path, or will the societal norms and expectations tear them apart?
