The company Ava built from dust, the legacy that bore her name, and worst, her husband. Stripped of everything, Ava vows revenge. The kind to make a man beg for death instead, and the one to make the dead yawn for judgement. However, as she claws her way back to power, secrets rise from her father’s grave. Darker than blood and deeper than betrayal she has ever known. Will she destroy the man who once vowed forever? Or will the truth behind her father’s will break her harder than any heartbreak ever could?

"In the dark underbelly of the city, where loyalty is a luxury and power is a deadly game, two souls collide in a fate-bound dance. Aurelia Montez, a 24-year-old restaurant owner with a heart of gold and a spirit of steel, is forced to make a Faustian bargain with the ruthless city lord, Baron Lupo Bianchi, to save her family from the merciless wrath of the mafia. Baron, a 250-year-old bloodthirsty werewolf in disguise as a 35year ruthless mafia with a penchant for destruction and a heart consumed by grief and anger, sees Aurelia as a tantalizing target for torment, her resemblance to his traitorous lunar mate a constant reminder of his pain. As their paths entwine, a spark of humanity awakens within Baron, threatening to disrupt his cruel plans and transform his malevolent nature. But will Aurelia's determination and resourcefulness be enough to tame the beast within, or will the darkness consume them both? Dive into a world of loyalty, power, and redemption, where the lines between good and evil blur, and the fate of two souls hangs in the balance."

“In those two years, you will do everything I ask of you, no questions asked,” he stated, his tone firm. I opened my mouth to protest, but he cut me off. “I’m not done. During those years, you are not allowed to be with any man, young or old. No dates, no clients, no flirting. If you so much as smile at a man, the contract is broken” "And if you break any part of the contract, you’ll pay me the full amount, plus 200% interest. And I always collect my debts, Elizabeth, one way or another." His voice deepened into a threat. I swallowed hard and stared at the table in front of me, my heart racing.

In a fractured world ruled by floating cities and haunted by the wreckage below, Mae is branded defective, hunted for a power she doesn’t understand, and feared for what she might become. When she’s dragged into a brutal underground auction, she expects to die. Instead, she’s claimed by the Fallen Five—deadly warlords with fractured souls and weapons for hands. Ashar, the half-alien commander with molten gold eyes, feels her like a ripple in the fabric of reality. Riven, Kaine, Sethis, and Lucien sense it too—something wrong, something waking, something the Council failed to kill. Desire tangles with danger as the Fallen pull Mae into their shadowed world. Stolen glances turn into heated touches. Their chemistry burns hot and fast—but so does the power rising inside her. When Ashar touches her, their sanctuary fractures. Walls realign. Time stutters. And something ancient awakens. Mae isn’t just powerful—she’s the Fracture. A cosmic anomaly. A living failsafe created to reset a dying universe. And now that she’s stirring, the galaxy wants her erased. But the Fallen aren’t letting her go. As enemies close in and the truth unravels, Mae must decide who to trust, what to fight for—and whether love is just another cage… or the key to surviving what’s coming. Because the force inside her isn’t done breaking things. And neither are they. They want her to stay. To fight. To choose them. Not just as a weapon. Not just as a woman. But as something none of them believed they’d ever deserve again. A family.

Who knew "I DO" came with a price tag? *** Charlene, or Charlie, was an orphan. She had lived jumping from one foster home to another, where people told her what to do, what she could be and not, and what she deserved, which was not much. At 18, she said enough. She pursued a career as a model, taking her life into her own hands. At 20, she met Collin, a wealthy CEO who promised to marry her. She thought her dreams were finally coming true. But like everything else in her life, her fiancée ended up being a disappointment as she caught him cheating, leaving her with a broken heart and a career in shambles.

Money was what made the world go round. It was the immediate solution to her problems. That was where Isaac Saunders came into the picture. He was her unwilling groom, forced by his father to marry her. He was the sole heir of his family's billion-dollar company. But he had to marry the woman of his father's choosing to inherit his father's legacy. So, how would this arrangement even work when he only saw her as another gold digger? On the other hand, she only looked at this marriage as a contractual transaction. What then? How would these two deal with their new living arrangement, staying in the same house and playing husband and wife?
