Eight O'clock

MICAH. I’ve always done as my father commanded—until he sells me to a family in Sicily and I become the property of Sullivan Stone. He’s everything I always want to stay away from; cold, ruthless, and dangerously intent on having what he wants. But what I didn’t expect was how easily his darkness would pull me in—how quickly his world would become mine. Running was never an option. And by the time I understand the truth, I’m already too deep in his game to crawl out. SULLIVAN. I wanted her the moment I saw her—feisty, sly, and meant to be broken. She doesn’t know it yet, but I’ll make her mine in every sense of the word. I’ll train her, tempt her, and mold her until she fits perfectly into my hands. But when she uncovers the secret that brought her to me, she’ll realize survival always demands a price. And this time, that price might be our everything! Get ready for a steamy chaotic mafia novel!

She was betrayed, broken, and bound in silver chains. Now, she’s back—with vengeance in her blood and a wolf that won’t be silenced. Vera was meant to inherit her pack’s legacy, blessed with alpha blood and a future full of promise. But on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, everything was ripped away—her family destroyed, her reputation shattered by lies, and her body imprisoned by those she once called kin. Three years of torment left her scarred and forgotten… until a fiery death returned her to the night it all began. Now, with a second chance carved by the Moon Goddess herself, Vera has one mission: expose every betrayal, rewrite her fate, and bring down the cousin who orchestrated her downfall. But as secrets resurface and shadows close in, a powerful alpha from a rival pack—Gabriel Black—enters her life with a past she can’t remember and a promise she can’t forget. As the clock ticks toward the same cursed birthday that once doomed her, Vera must outplay rogues, uncover deadly truths, and resist the pull of a mate bond she doesn’t trust. Because this time, she’s not the prey. She’s the fire. And everyone who tried to bury her is about to burn.

Il y a six ans, j'ai donné tout ce que j'avais, mon cœur, mon corps, ma confiance, au garçon qui avait mis le feu à mon monde. Le lendemain, il a disparu sans un mot. Depuis, la vie n'a pas été tendre. J'ai enterré mes parents la même semaine où j'ai ramené mon fils nouveau-né de l'hôpital. À tout juste dix-huit ans, je suis devenue mère et tutrice de ma sœur de quinze ans, survivant à peine au poids de tout cela. Alors que je pensais enfin trouver la stabilité avec un mari aimant, j'ai découvert qu'il menait une double vie, avec une autre femme. Maintenant, mon fils, Jaques, se comporte mal, est en colère contre le monde et porte des blessures que je ne peux pas guérir. Après un nouveau coup de téléphone de l'école, cette fois-ci pour une expulsion, je savais que nous ne pouvions pas continuer à prétendre que tout allait bien. Nous avions besoin d'un nouveau départ. Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que ce nouveau départ me conduise dans une ville de montagne endormie cachant un dangereux secret... ou à lui. Car cette ville abrite une meute cachée de loups métamorphes, dont l'alpha n'est autre que le garçon qui a disparu il y a six ans. Le même garçon qui ne sait pas qu'il m'a laissé plus qu'un cœur brisé... Il m'a laissé son fils. Avertissement ! Cette histoire contient des scènes explicites (y compris des relations entre hommes) tout au long de l'histoire.
