"Let's play a game." "What game?" "One that involves you not screaming." ★★★★★ I'd been the perfect girlfriend to my star hockey player for two years. Stood in the rain at his practices. Drove hours just to watch him warm benches. Wore his jersey like it meant something. And he repaid me by fucking his way through half of Chicago—including the sister of the one man he's been obsessed with for years. Zane Mercer. The NHL's most dangerous player. My stepfather's worst enemy. And the man who looked at me like I was something worth destroying the world for. One impossible offer. One desperate bet. One night that changed everything. Zane doesn't do fake. He doesn't do half measures. When he tells me I'm his for two months, he means it. In every way that matters. But Zane has secrets buried so deep they connect to my family's past in ways I never imagined. Dark secrets. Deadly ones. What starts as a transaction turns into obsession. What starts as revenge turns into something I can't walk away from. And what starts as a lie might be the only truth that matters. They say some men are too dangerous to love. They're right. But I was never good at following warnings. ********** This book contains explicit sexual content, dominant/possessive behavior, morally gray characters, family conflict, and themes that may be triggering. Intended for mature readers 18+. This isn’t your normal hockey romance. It’s dark, raw, and unrelenting—where obsession, desire, and power collide, and nothing is off-limits.

Dans la ville côtière ensoleillée de Seaport Blossom, Zara, une fleuriste solitaire, brûle dans le ciel d'une nuit d'été un vœu désespéré : trouver le grand amour. Le lendemain matin, un charmant inconnu nommé Noel entre dans sa boutique, prétendant être son « exauceur de vœux d'été », lié à elle pendant 25 jours seulement pour lui apporter son âme sœur… ou disparaître à jamais. Alors que Noel lui présente des hommes parfaits, Zara se surprend à tomber amoureuse de celui qu'elle ne pourra jamais avoir. Car Noel n'est pas un magicien. Il est le fantôme de l'homme qu'elle a tué dans un accident de voiture, en état d'ivresse, un an plus tôt, la victime dont elle ne se souvient plus du visage, mais dont le nom hante ses cauchemars. À présent, le temps presse et les souvenirs enfouis refont surface. Zara doit affronter une vérité impossible : le seul homme qu'elle ait jamais vraiment aimé est celui qu'elle a détruit… et l'aimer en retour pourrait condamner son âme à un tourment éternel. Un récit poignant de pardon, de secondes chances et d'un amour assez fort pour défier la mort elle-même.

After I brought in 300 million dollars in investment for his company, my fiance showed me the home we would share. I thought we would finally get married after eight years together, but instead, he turned on a building game. “I laid every brick here. Once the company is listed, I’ll build you a house just like this one.” I found him and his secretary showing off their love. He had bought her an expensive villa as a gift. I sent the photo to my fiance. “You can afford to buy someone a villa as a gift, but not our home?” Displeased, he said, “Alyssa is the company’s backbone. I’m only giving her a villa to encourage the other staff to do better!” But in the background, I heard Alyssa’s pleased laughter. “Some people should really be more self-aware. Does she think getting some investment makes her the boss of this company?” I did my best to suppress my anger. I wanted to see just how long the company would survive if not for the investments I found!

Elena Woods was the "disgrace" of the Blackwood Pack—a Beta’s daughter who failed to shift, making her the laughingstock of her peers. On her eighteenth birthday, fate dealt a cruel hand: her fated mate was none other than the future Alpha, Killian Vance. But instead of a claim, Elena received a death sentence. To preserve the "strength" of his lineage, Killian publicly rejected her and chose her cruel, high-ranking sister, Sarah, as his Luna. Exiled into the rogue-infested wild to die, Elena’s heartbreak triggers an ancient, dormant power. She isn't a wolf—she is the first White Lycan in a millennium, a creature of myth with power that dwarfs any Alpha. Five years later, the Blackwood Pack is on the brink of collapse, cursed by a mysterious illness. Their only hope is the "Silver Doctor," a legendary and wealthy healer who hides her face behind a mask. Killian, now a cold and broken Alpha whose wolf is rotting from the rejection, travels to the city to beg for her help. He expects a savior. He finds the woman he destroyed. But Elena has a secret even more powerful than her shift: three silver-eyed triplets who bear the Alpha’s mark. Killian is desperate for a second chance, but Elena is no longer a girl looking for a mate—she is a Queen looking for a reckoning.

Ava never wanted anything to do with alphas. Or wolves. Or fate. She survived by being invisible—quiet, unwanted, forgotten at the edge of the human world. Until the night she runs. Until the forest answers. Until Alpha Cassian finds her. He is the most feared leader of the Blood Moon pack. Cold. Controlled. Untouchable. And cursed. What should have been a trespass becomes something far worse. A bond. Ancient. Forbidden. Impossible. Ava is human. At least, that’s what she believes. But the curse that chains Cassian to his throne recognizes her before he does. And recognition is never innocent. As desire ignites and the pack begins to fracture, Ava discovers something awakening in her blood—something older than wolves, older than the curse itself. If Cassian marks her, the bond will stabilize. If he doesn’t, the Council will. And either choice could cost her life. Because loving an Alpha is dangerous. But being the reason he falls? Deadly. Some bonds are not fate. They are a sentence. And dawn is coming.
