Johnny Cage Mk1

La nuit où le sang de son père a taché le sol, son monde s’est effondré. Traquée pour une dette qui n’était pas la sienne, elle est devenue une ombre, fuyant des hommes décidés à la réduire au silence. Jusqu’à ce qu’il la trouve. Le roi de l’ombre. L’homme que tout le monde craint. Le diable qui décide qui vit et qui meurt. Il la sauve, mais pas par pitié. Son offre est une cage déguisée en luxe—rester à ses côtés, lui obéir, lui appartenir… ou retourner à l’enfer qu’elle a fui. Prise entre un passé qui veut l’enterrer et un homme dont l’obsession brûle plus fort que la vengeance, elle fait face à un choix impossible: se rendre au monstre qui veut la posséder, ou se battre pour une liberté qu’il jure qu’elle n’aura jamais. Mais lorsqu’elle découvre les secrets qu’il dissimule—des secrets capables de détruire son empire—une vérité s’impose: La sauver n’a jamais été sa faiblesse. Elle l’est.

My dad, Frank Stanford, was an Alpha. I, Lana Stanford, was his only daughter. The year I turned eighteen, he told me to choose a mate from the nine werewolf warriors he had taken in. I avoided Simon Eaton, the one I used to be obsessed with. In my previous life, I was kidnapped by rogues on the very day of my marking ceremony. When they drove silver nails soaked in wolfsbane through my palms, I endured the agony and sent a desperate plea through our mind link. “Simon, help me.” All I got back was his cold response. “Lana Stanford, are you done yet? Is this another lame trick of yours? “You actually hurt yourself just to get me to come see you? You're disgusting.” I closed my eyes in despair. As the silver cage sank into the frozen lake, icy water filled my lungs. My wolf let out a final, broken cry and died with me. When I woke up again, I'd returned to the day my dad asked me to choose a mate. This time, the very first thing I did was cross Simon’s name off the list. Later, he stood in front of me with tearful eyes and asked why I hadn’t chosen him. I didn’t answer. I just looked at him strangely. “Simon, this time, I did exactly what you wanted. Why are you crying again?”

One face. Two lives. A marriage built on a deadly lie. Grace thought the hardest part of her life was being an orphan—until she discovered she wasn’t one. Found by the wealthy biological family who abandoned her, Grace isn’t greeted with open arms. Instead, she’s greeted with a cold-blooded ultimatum: Become your sister, or watch your adoptive mother rot in a prison cell. To save the only woman who ever loved her, Grace must step into the designer life of her twin, Isabella. That means navigating a world of backstabbing elites and, most dangerously, marrying Sebastian Vane. Sebastian is a man who rules with iron and ice. He doesn't want a partner, he wants a contract. He doesn't want love, he wants a pawn to secure his empire. “No love. No expectations. No children,” he warns. Grace is happy to oblige. After all, she isn't even the woman he thinks he’s marrying. But as the lines between her life and Isabella's begin to blur, Grace realizes that Sebastian is hiding secrets of his own—secrets that link their families in a web of blood and betrayal. Now, trapped in a golden cage with a man who sees everything, Grace has to play the performance of a lifetime. Because if Sebastian finds out she’s an impostor, he won't just break the contract—he’ll break her. She’s living her sister’s life. She’s sleeping in her sister’s bed. But can she survive her sister’s husband?

Lydia Redfield never imagined that returning home would come with such a heavy price. A lifetime spent chasing freedom in Paris evaporates the moment her parents pull her back to the Silverwood packhouse, where duty and tradition outweigh any hopes of happiness. As the daughter of the Alpha, Lydia has one role: marry well and strengthen the pack’s power. But the man they’ve chosen isn’t just any Alpha—he’s Zane, a brooding, cold leader with a reputation for rejecting women and avoiding love. "I’m not a pawn to be moved around," Zane’s voice cuts through the tension, his gaze as sharp as his words. “I decide who is worthy to stand by my side.” Lydia thought the biggest challenge would be fitting into a life she never wanted. But when she meets Zane—tall, untouchable, and far too captivating—everything she thought she knew about loyalty, love, and sacrifice is put to the test. Her wolf stirs with an undeniable pull, one that terrifies her more than she’s willing to admit. The pack wants an heir. Her father demands she comply. But Lydia's heart is torn—because this is no arranged marriage. It’s a battle for control, where every step she takes could shatter her future, and every moment with Zane feels like surrendering her soul. In a world where power rules, can she escape the chains of duty—or will Zane’s love become the cage that binds her forever? Will she choose the freedom she’s always craved, or the power that could ruin her?

Je m’appelais Alaya, et je n’étais qu’une fille parmi tant d’autres, née dans les ruelles d’un quartier où la pauvreté t’empoisonne dès le berceau. Ma mère, malade, n’avait que moi… et les dettes. Ce soir-là, ils sont venus. Ils ont frappé à la porte. Trois hommes en noir. Pas un mot, juste une enveloppe, et une phrase glaciale : — « Ta fille est encore vierge, non ? Le patron paie cher pour ça. » Je n’ai pas eu le choix. Il s’appelait Santino Ricci. Froid. Magnétique. Dangereux. Le chef de l’une des familles les plus puissantes d’Italie. Il m’a regardée comme on regarde une marchandise précieuse. Puis il a dit : — « Tu seras ma femme. Qu’importe ce que tu ressens. » Et j’ai signé ma condamnation. Ce mariage n’était pas une union… mais une cage dorée. J’ai appris à survivre parmi les serpents. J’ai vu des morts. J’ai vu le sang. J’ai entendu les cris de filles qui, comme moi, avaient été vendues. Mais ce qu’ils n’avaient pas prévu… c’est que la petite vierge brisée finirait par mordre.

In the shadows of the city’s most notorious club, where danger and desire intertwine, he sees her. Valerio Moretti—ruthless, feared, and untouchable—is the most dangerous name in the criminal underworld. He owns the city, one blood-soaked deal at a time. Women throw themselves at his feet, yet none have ever caught his eye... until her. Sera Devlin is an enigma behind red velvet curtains. A stripper who doesn’t belong. Her stiff movements, wide eyes, and barely concealed fear as men paw at her set her apart from the others. She's innocent—too innocent for a place like this. And that's what draws Valerio in like a flame. One night, Valerio breaks the rules—his own rules—and barges into her dressing room. Half-dressed and startled, Sera throws him out without a second thought, unaware she's just challenged the devil himself. Now, Valerio is obsessed. She doesn’t know who he is. She doesn’t want him. But he always gets what he wants—and he wants her. As their worlds collide in a twisted game of dominance, secrets, and forbidden desire, Sera finds herself caught in a cage made of diamonds and danger. But behind Valerio’s control lies a man with a dark past... and behind Sera’s fear, a secret that could shatter them both. He’s her captor. She’s his temptation. And in this game, love could be their ultimate ruin.

In my first life, I believed love was salvation. I tore my future apart for two men who had grown up beside me—Marcus Black and Damian Knight. I chose one of them, only to be abandoned on my wedding day for Elena Rivers. My grandmother died that same day, shattered by grief. When I was at my lowest, the other man took my hand and promised he would never betray me. I believed him. I married him. And slowly, my world went cold. I thought his distance was regret. I thought my failing health was fate. Until the night I was dying, and I watched him run past me—to save Elena, whose injuries were nothing more than a scratch. That was when I understood. My life had never been a love story. It was a carefully scripted game. After my death, I learned the truth: Marcus and Damian had already written their wills, leaving everything to Elena Rivers. They had sabotaged my education, manipulated my career, and even fabricated a chronic illness to keep me weak, dependent, and easy to control. They never wanted me to succeed. They only wanted me quiet—so Elena could shine. But fate gave me another chance. This time, I tore up my admission letter to Harvard. This time, I rejected their confessions before they could cage me again. In this life, I will not be the woman they use, betray, or discard. I will live for myself. And I will never walk the same path twice.

"As you have done before, all you have to do now is sign a three-year marriage contract with me. And after our marriage contract ends, I will give you more than you can get now. I will give you everything to make sure that my ex-wife can still live in luxury after I divorce her." The day after her divorce, Vivianne White got that crazy offer from a man she didn't know. She didn't understand why, but Darren Hart, whom she had only met once in a nightclub, wanted her so badly that he kept pestering her until she finally accepted his offer of a contract marriage. . "I won't be shy with you because I know you are wealthy. So prepare a lot of money to make me your contract wife, sir." Vivi thought the contract marriage was as simple as being a dining and chatting companion for Darren, who looked very lonely. But she didn't realize she had voluntarily entered the tiger's cage when she signed the marriage contract with Darren. . "I contracted you to be my wife for three years so that you could be the object of my lust. That is your primary duty as my contract wife, so do well during this contract." And when Darren shows his true colors, can Vivi survive the three-year marriage contract? Or when another chance comes, will she prefer Lucas Warren, the ex-husband she still loves?
