Ang kanyang pamilya ang gusto niyang makuha. Ang kanyang kalayaan ang hiniling niyang kapalit. Itinayo ni Irish Wei ang kanyang pangalan bilang ang pinakakinikilalang art curator sa lungsod—isang babaeng may dangal sa mundong pinaghaharian ng yaman at kapangyarihan ng mga dinastiyang negosyante. Ngunit nang gumuho ang imperyo ng kanyang pamilya dahil sa utang at pagkakanulo, siya ang naging huling collateral na gustong angkinin ng isang walang awang bilyonaryo. Hindi naghari si Kendrick Reyes sa pamamagitan ng pagiging mabait. Matagal nang hinintay ng negosyanteng ito ang pagbagsak ng pamilya Wei. Subalit nang makaharap niya si Irish—mayabang, matapang, handang ipagpalit ang sarili para sa kaligtasan ng kanyang pamilya—binago niya ang kasunduan. Isang taon. Ang kanyang buhay, kanyang pagsunod, ang kanyang lubos na pagpapasakop. Kapalit nito, ang kanyang ama ay makalalaya at mananatiling buo ang kanilang pangalan. Maninirahan siya sa mundo ng mga nakakulong na penthouse sa Gangnam, dadalo sa mga eksklusibong gala, at magiging tropeo sa harap ng mga piling tao ng lungsod. Nakakulong sa isang ginintuang hawla, inaasahan ni Irish ang kalupitan. Ang hindi niya inaasahan ay ang lalaking puno ng kontradiksyon—isa na magbabantay sa kanya nang may bangis na magpapalabo sa linya ng kanyang pagkabihag at pagiging protektado. Ngunit ang imperyo ni Kendrick ay itinayo sa mga lihim, at ang katotohanang taglay ni Irish ay maaaring siyang tanging bagay na hindi kayang kontrolin ng kanyang kapangyarihan. Sa larong puno ng yaman at pagnanasa, ang pinakamapanganib na pusta ay hindi ang pagkawala ng kanyang kalayaan. Ito ay ang pagkawala ng kanyang puso sa lalaking nagnakaw nito.

When brought before the king, Autumn refuses to accept a life of slavery. Instead, she boldly bargains for her and her sister’s protection, offering her knowledge and skills in exchange. Intrigued by her defiance, Zane grants her a chance—but in his world, trust is dangerous, and weakness is unforgivable. Will Autumn prove her worth and survive in the Lycan kingdom, or will she fall prey to the beast who refuses to love?

She is claimed in a passionate kiss by her stepbrother in a moonlit field, on her eighteenth birthday—the moment their true mate instincts ignite. Raine Bittley has never truly felt at home, especially since she and her mother moved to the Shadowfang Pack when she was eight. There, she's not just considered an outsider, she's hated and bullied, especially by one person–Killian Knight–Heir to the Alpha, and the most arrogant man she's ever met.

And how does one escape fate… when fate is the man she hates, yet simultaneously burns for?

His hand cups my face, thumb brushing my cheek, and I’m burning so hot I’m surprised his skin doesn’t blister. “We can’t do this,” he growls, but he doesn’t pull away. “I know.” My voice breaks. “But how can this be wrong when it feels so right?” His jaw clenches. “Because you belong to him.” “I belong to you,” I whisper. “The moon goddess doesn’t make mistakes.” For one endless moment, he just stares at me like I’m destroying him.Then his mouth crashes into mine, and the world burns. *** My brother’s mistake started a war.

I tell myself I can survive this. That I can marry a monster and keep my heart intact. What I don’t expect, is for the mate bond to snap into place with the wrong man. He’s not the man I’m supposed to marry. He’s the one I’m fated to love. And he’s determined to deny it. But my body doesn’t care what he wants. And neither does fate. Trapped between two powerful wolves and a destiny I never asked for, I’m about to learn that some bonds can’t be denied. Even if they burn us all to ash.

When I stumbled into a Mafia run club seeking a job, I was looking for protection. Little did I know I’d need protection from him. Damian was exactly the kind of danger I was trying to avoid. He was gorgeous as sin with an accent hotter than Ronan, but that’s where the charm ended. He was also cynical, cold, and downright cranky. So, you could imagine my surprise when he gave me a proposition to marry him or lose my life. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I’ve learned to do what’s necessary to survive in this world, and that includes marrying a mobster. Regardless of what he might say, it’s only temporary. It’s not like I’m going to fall for him, because that would be stupid, right?

Twenty-six, brilliant, and achingly untouched, PhD student Cassie walks into the city’s most exclusive sex club because of a bet against her virginity. She chooses him blindly: a cruel Dom who drags her to the hidden chambers, spreads her trembling thighs, and takes her virginity with slow, savage thrusts while she screams. She never sees his face.
