He pressed him against the door, breath hot, voice ragged. “If you don’t want this… tell me to stop.” A pause. A heartbeat. “I can’t.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some obsessions aren’t meant to be touched. Some men aren’t meant to be loved. And some desires don’t care. This collection isn’t about perfect love. It’s about the one you weren’t supposed to want— Another man. Your brother’s best friend. Your enemy’s son. Your professor. Your fake fiancé. The man who shouldn’t look at you like that. The man you can’t stop wanting. Every story is a man falling for another man when he shouldn’t—and doing it anyway. Fast-paced, emotionally sharp, and dangerously seductive, every story in Burnt Offerings dives headfirst into the hunger we deny, the rules we break, and the lovers we were warned to stay away from. Some affairs stay in the dark. Others start wildfires. This isn't a love story. It's all the ones you swore you’d never tell. All of them about men who should have walked away from each other… but didn’t.

Luciana Moretti was raised to honor her family, even when it breaks her. She was meant to marry Adrian Orlov—the gentle heir who became her safe place. Then the accident stole him.

His new demand is ruthless: Luci will marry Roman Orlov, Adrian’s younger brother and the reluctant heir now forced into his place. Duty binds them, grief fuels them, and something dangerous sparks between them until evidence surfaces claiming Roman caused Adrian’s death. When the truth emerges, it will either bind them tighter than blood… or burn their world to ash.

Pendant trois ans, j’ai attendu de devenir la Luna parfaite pour ma meute et de donner un héritier à l’Alpha. Trois ans de mensonges m’ont transformée en une intruse dans l’amour de quelqu’un d’autre. Trois ans pour souffrir de la mort de mon bébé et chercher vengeance contre l’homme qui a défiguré mon visage et détruit mon utérus. Être capturée par ma propre meute et mourir, ou m’échapper et survivre : c’étaient mes deux seules options. J’ai choisi de me cacher et de vivre. Le Roi Lycan, Alain Turpin était le souverain le plus sanguinaire et impitoyable qui dirigeait les loups-garous d’une main de fer. Je suis devenue sa domestique personnelle, la position la plus dangereuse, où je pouvais perdre la vie à tout moment pour la moindre erreur. Mais personne de mon passé ne me chercherait jamais ici. « Toujours soumise. Ne parle pas, n’écoute pas, ne vois rien, ne dérange pas le Lycan, ou tu mourras. » Des règles simples à suivre. Je pensais bien m’en sortir jusqu’au jour où le Roi m’a fait une offre que je ne pouvais pas refuser. « Tu veux que je sauve ces gens ? Alors rends-toi à moi ce soir. Sois la mienne. Je te désire, et je sais que tu ressens la même chose. Juste une fois, Valérie... Une seule fois. » Mais ce n’était pas qu’une fois. Et la passion s’est transformée en amour. Cet homme froid et indomptable a aussi conquis mon cœur. Cependant, quand le passé revient me hanter et que la vérité sur ma naissance est révélée, je dois faire un choix une fois de plus : fuir le Roi Lycan ou attendre sa clémence. « Je suis désolée, mais cette fois, je ne perdrai pas mes petits à nouveau. Pas même pour toi, Alain. » Je m’appelle Valérie Von Calvet, et ceci est mon histoire d’amour compliquée avec le Roi Lycan.

"What do you want, Aveline?" The Alpha King's silver eyes burn into mine as he drops to his knees, his hands gripping my thighs like he owns them. His voice is a command, not a request, and I'm trembling, unable to form words. "Say it properly, or I walk away and leave you like this." The night before our wedding, I discover that the man sworn to hate me is also the only one who can bring me to my knees. All Aveline ever wanted was a mate who would protect and cherish her, someone to take her away from a pack that rejected her the moment they discovered she was wolfless. Instead, she gets public humiliation when her fated mate rejects her, then gets sold as a bride to the cursed Alpha King—a man whose hatred runs deeper than she could ever imagine. Alpha King Thorne doesn't just despise weakness. He despises her. The moment he sees her face, he's reminded of the mate who betrayed him, the one who chose death over being his. Her only purpose? To bear his heir. Nothing more. Stripped of her title and thrown into a world of dark politics and ancient prophecies, Aveline must survive not just his cruelty, but the dangerous obsession growing between them. Because the man determined to break her is the same one who makes her body sing with a single touch. "You're mine, Aveline. Tomorrow you become my wife. My Luna. My breeder." What happens when duty becomes desire, hatred transforms into possession, and the girl meant to be broken becomes the only one capable of bringing the most powerful alpha to his knees?
