Expecting

Dressed in white, rose in hand and waiting for her husband at the aisle for more than an hour was never the kind of scene Stephanie Clark had ever thought about when fantasising what her dream wedding would be like. Hours passed, and unable to bear the murmurings anymore, she strode out of the wedding hall, and went straight to the groom’s prep room, expecting to find her soon to be husband with probably his groom's men. What she would have never expected was finding him deep inside her stepsister. She’s devastated and humiliated. Burning with the ache of rage, she turned around and grabbed the very first man she saw outside. To add to her list of unexpected situations for the day, the moment she pulled away, she realised the man she kissed was none other than her groom’s elder brother who was rumoured to be callously handsome, ruthless to the core, and worse, incapable of fathering children. She goes to a club to drink her sorrows away, only to end up in Zane's bed. Vengeance meets opportunity, Stephanie Clark and Zane Wright make a deal: he’ll give her everything she needs for revenge, wealth enough to vanish and start over but only if she gives him the one thing he wants most, an heir. Zane doesn't make it easy. He sets down five rules. No affection. No questions. No betrayal. No disobedience. No forgetting or deviating from the aim. It was all supposed to be easy. But when desire burns between them, what happens when one of the rules is broken?

Maya grew up in the shadows of Stonehaven—the maid's daughter, human and invisible among wolves. Alec was the Alpha's son, her childhood friend, her first love, her impossible dream. One stolen night changed everything. When Maya discovered she was pregnant, she ran. Not because she didn't love him—but because what she carried was impossible. Forbidden. The kind of secret that gets you killed. Seven years later, her daughter's power explodes in a surge felt by every pack for a hundred miles. And now they're coming. When Alec tracks the surge, he's expecting a threat. What he finds is the woman he thought was dead—and a seven-year-old daughter he never knew existed. Out of options and out of time, Maya does the one thing she swore she'd never do: she follows him home to Stonehaven. To the pack that never wanted her. To face wolves who see her child as an abomination. Now Maya must navigate a pack that wants her daughter dead, rebuild trust with the man whose heart she broke, and survive the attention of something dark and ancient rising from the northern mountains—something that felt her daughter's power and will destroy everything to claim it. An Alpha who will burn the world to protect what's his. A mother who will face any danger to keep her daughter safe. And a little girl who holds a power no one has ever seen before. One impossible love. One dangerous secret. One choice that could save them all—or destroy everything.

Dmitri Volkov is the heir to one of New York’s most ruthless Russian mafia families—cold, controlled, and carrying scars no one is allowed to see. He has spent his life obeying blood oaths and burying every part of himself that doesn’t serve the syndicate. Love, especially love for a man, is a weakness he cannot afford. Ethan Moreau is a twenty-two-year-old French art student on scholarship at NYU—soft-spoken, openly gay, and painfully trusting. He came to New York to chase beauty in a city full of sharp edges, never expecting one of those edges to look back at him with ice-blue eyes. Their worlds collide by chance in Central Park. A fleeting encounter becomes stolen nights, desperate kisses in shadowed alleys, and whispered promises neither of them can keep. For Ethan, Dmitri is intensity and danger wrapped in tenderness he’s never known. For Dmitri, Ethan is the first crack of light in a life built on darkness—and the one thing that could destroy everything he’s been raised to protect. But secrets have weight. Dmitri’s family is closing in, a rival syndicate is circling, and every touch between them pulls the noose tighter. Misunderstandings fester into silence, jealousy into rage, and love into something that hurts to hold. When blood finally stains the canvas of their fragile world, Ethan will have to decide if he can love a man who was born to break hearts—and Dmitri will have to choose between the family that raised him and the only person who ever made him want to be free. In a city that devours the innocent, their story is a slow bleed of devotion, betrayal, and the kind of love that can ruin you completely.
