Alpha Sin is a monster in every sense of the word. Haunted by a bloodlust that never sleeps and a curse that turns his bones to lead, he is a mad king on a crumbling throne. I’ve spent my entire life running from him. His kind didn't just hunt my people—they devoured us, obsessed with the power hidden in our blood. I thought I was safe. I thought my family loved me. But on my twenty-first birthday, they betrayed my trust. They sold me to Sin’s pack on a silver platter to clear their debts. Alpha Sin doesn’t kill me, though. He does something much worse. He claims me. We are a forbidden match, because the moment he takes my innocence, he goes back to being a mad man… So, to save his mind, he keeps me hidden, fiercely guarding my purity from the world, and from his own dark desires. But I am more than just his obsession. I am his damnation. My family sold me for money, and his family wiped out my people for power. I have no intention of being a victim. I will survive this, and I will make every single one of them bleed—one betrayal at a time. Only, when you play with a fire this hot, do you really survive the burn?

Amara Bennett has a rule: Never let anyone close enough to break your heart twice. After a humiliating breakup that turned her into the laughingstock of her school, she’s done with romance, done with hope, and definitely done with boys who make promises they can’t keep. Then Julian Reyes transfers into her class. Charming without trying. Annoyingly kind. The type of boy who remembers little things—like how she hates strawberries on cake and how she always pretends she’s okay when she isn’t. At first, Amara can’t stand him. Mostly because Julian somehow sees through every wall she built around herself. But when a misunderstanding makes the entire school believe they’re dating, Julian offers her a deal: fake a relationship until the rumors die down. Simple. Except nothing about Julian feels fake. Not the way he waits outside her classroom just to walk her home. Not the way his hand finds hers during crowded hallways. And definitely not the way he looks at her like she’s the best thing he’s ever found. For the first time in a long time, Amara begins to believe love might not be something meant to hurt her. But just when she finally lets herself fall, she discovers the truth Julian has been hiding since the day they met—a truth that could destroy everything between them. Because Julian didn’t transfer to her school by coincidence. He came for her.

Before Skylar could even tell her husband she was pregnant, her marriage ended in betrayal. In one night, she lost everything she thought she had. A husband, a family, and the fragile future she was holding onto. Skylar Blackwood had once believed sacrifice was love. To save her father from prison, she agreed to marry into the powerful Blackwood family, giving up her final year of college and reshaping her entire life around a man who never truly loved her. Instead, she was discarded, humiliated, and broken in the very moment she needed him most. Then came the man she was never meant to meet. A ruthless billionaire known as the black sheep of the Blackwood family. He was feared, untouchable, and far more dangerous than the man she once called husband. He does not believe in mercy, nor in saving people. Yet somehow, Skylar becomes an exception he cannot ignore. And just when Skylar thinks she has finally escaped her past, her ex-husband returns, this time with regret in his eyes and greed behind his intentions, as he realizes the woman he discarded now belongs to a world he can never afford. Because her new husband doesn’t just protect her. He owns empires, controls wealth beyond imagination and gives her everything the man who once humiliated her could never reach. When betrayal burns everything to the ground, a dangerous obsession rises from the ashes, and two powerful brothers collide over a woman who refuses to be broken again.

I was the company's top sales performer, but I never clocked in or out, and I rarely showed my face at the office. Two-thirds of the employees had never even met me. Yet somehow, I single-handedly dominated the sales numbers, outperforming everyone else and propelling us to the number one spot in the industry. Then came the day they handed out year-end bonuses. Jeffrey Young, the new sales director, fired me on the spot, claiming it was bad luck that I stepped into the building with my left foot first. When I demanded to know what gave him the right, he sneered at me with pure contempt. "Because I'm going to be the future owner of this company! You just got lucky landing a few big clients, and that was all thanks to the company's existing customer base anyway!" He continued, "Let me tell you something... Kieran Campbell, whoever the company gives resources to, becomes the top seller!" I could not help but laugh. All they saw was that I never clocked in, but they never saw me out there day and night, running around to maintain those client relationships. The truth was, in this industry, clients were loyal to me personally, not to the company's brand. I pulled out my phone and called my wife, Melanie Gardner. "When did you get yourself another husband behind my back?"

On the day of our engagement, my boyfriend, Henley Chatham, handed his assistant, Kiara Dalby, an unlimited black card—then set me up with a shared wallet. Daily limit: twenty bucks. I laughed. Cold. Said no. He called me materialistic—then spun around and made some grand confession to Kiara. So I ended it. Right there. Then I signed with a classified agency. Five years later, Kiara and I crossed paths at a car wash. I was in line when she whipped her car in and cut me off. I couldn't dodge. Metal slammed—my whole front end wrecked. She rolled her window down. "Hey, you in the back—blind or what? Can't you see my car?" I let out a short laugh. "You cut me off. Then you crash into me. And somehow that's my fault?" Kiara sneered, same attitude, just louder. "I cut in line? Please. Every inch of Hawthorne Bay belongs to the Chatham family. Ever heard of Chatham Corp? My boss could shake this whole town with one move." I actually laughed this time. Pulled out my phone. Dialed. "Ex-boyfriend, I hear Hawthorne Bay answers to you now?"

I was getting married—but I didn't tell my parents. It was my fifth wedding. The last four? Total disasters, thanks to them. Every time, they claimed something was "wrong" with the wedding car and somehow scared the guy off. First was my college boyfriend. We were solid—four years strong. My parents pushed for marriage... then ditched the idea on the big day because his car wasn't "fancy" enough. Second groom? My boss. He pulled up in a shiny new car they actually approved—until they didn't. Yanked me right out. Third time, they set me up with someone themselves. The guy brought ten cars to play it safe. Didn't matter. They shut it down before I even stepped outside. Fourth time? Same story. I kept wondering—what was so cursed about these cars? Why push me to get married, only to destroy it every single time? This year, I was trying again. Wedding number five. This time, I was pregnant—with the son of the country's richest man. I didn't tell my parents. Thought I'd finally outsmarted them. But just as I was about to get in the car... I saw them sprinting toward me.

When I got into a car accident, Carter was busy throwing a birthday party for his assistant. I was scrolling through my phone and somehow ended up tapping on the Love Pawnshop.
