Ang kanyang pamilya ang gusto niyang makuha. Ang kanyang kalayaan ang hiniling niyang kapalit. Itinayo ni Irish Wei ang kanyang pangalan bilang ang pinakakinikilalang art curator sa lungsod—isang babaeng may dangal sa mundong pinaghaharian ng yaman at kapangyarihan ng mga dinastiyang negosyante. Ngunit nang gumuho ang imperyo ng kanyang pamilya dahil sa utang at pagkakanulo, siya ang naging huling collateral na gustong angkinin ng isang walang awang bilyonaryo. Hindi naghari si Kendrick Reyes sa pamamagitan ng pagiging mabait. Matagal nang hinintay ng negosyanteng ito ang pagbagsak ng pamilya Wei. Subalit nang makaharap niya si Irish—mayabang, matapang, handang ipagpalit ang sarili para sa kaligtasan ng kanyang pamilya—binago niya ang kasunduan. Isang taon. Ang kanyang buhay, kanyang pagsunod, ang kanyang lubos na pagpapasakop. Kapalit nito, ang kanyang ama ay makalalaya at mananatiling buo ang kanilang pangalan. Maninirahan siya sa mundo ng mga nakakulong na penthouse sa Gangnam, dadalo sa mga eksklusibong gala, at magiging tropeo sa harap ng mga piling tao ng lungsod. Nakakulong sa isang ginintuang hawla, inaasahan ni Irish ang kalupitan. Ang hindi niya inaasahan ay ang lalaking puno ng kontradiksyon—isa na magbabantay sa kanya nang may bangis na magpapalabo sa linya ng kanyang pagkabihag at pagiging protektado. Ngunit ang imperyo ni Kendrick ay itinayo sa mga lihim, at ang katotohanang taglay ni Irish ay maaaring siyang tanging bagay na hindi kayang kontrolin ng kanyang kapangyarihan. Sa larong puno ng yaman at pagnanasa, ang pinakamapanganib na pusta ay hindi ang pagkawala ng kanyang kalayaan. Ito ay ang pagkawala ng kanyang puso sa lalaking nagnakaw nito.

Amaya was the innocent daughter of Alpha James, a cruel and vicious Alpha. She gave up everything to stop his cruelty, all for love. But instead of being rewarded, she was betrayed. Her mate rejected her. Her best friend turned against her. Then she was sold off to Alpha Caius, the deadly warlord people call Death, and her father’s nemesis. Now trapped in his cold, dangerous world, Amaya refuses to break, even when Caius pushes her to the edge. But behind his cold eyes is something more, something old, dark, and deeply broken. And Amaya might be the only one who can reach it… or she might be destroyed trying. Because no one escapes the Alpha of the South. And an omega like Amaya was never meant to survive him, let alone change his fate.

She is claimed in a passionate kiss by her stepbrother in a moonlit field, on her eighteenth birthday—the moment their true mate instincts ignite. Raine Bittley has never truly felt at home, especially since she and her mother moved to the Shadowfang Pack when she was eight. There, she's not just considered an outsider, she's hated and bullied, especially by one person–Killian Knight–Heir to the Alpha, and the most arrogant man she's ever met. Now, Raine's life is upside down. From unwanted outsider to the Pack's condescending Luna. But with that title come darker secrets. And how does one escape fate… when fate is the man she hates, yet simultaneously burns for?

His hand cups my face, thumb brushing my cheek, and I’m burning so hot I’m surprised his skin doesn’t blister. “We can’t do this,” he growls, but he doesn’t pull away. “I know.” My voice breaks. “But how can this be wrong when it feels so right?” His jaw clenches. “Because you belong to him.” “I belong to you,” I whisper. “The moon goddess doesn’t make mistakes.” For one endless moment, he just stares at me like I’m destroying him.Then his mouth crashes into mine, and the world burns. *** My brother’s mistake started a war. My surrender ended it. When Kaz Ryker, the most feared Alpha in the realm, spares my dying pack, the price isn’t gold or territory—it’s me. As his wife. His prize. His to claim. I tell myself I can survive this. That I can marry a monster and keep my heart intact. What I don’t expect, is for the mate bond to snap into place with the wrong man. He’s not the man I’m supposed to marry. He’s the one I’m fated to love. And he’s determined to deny it. But my body doesn’t care what he wants. And neither does fate. Trapped between two powerful wolves and a destiny I never asked for, I’m about to learn that some bonds can’t be denied. Even if they burn us all to ash.

When I stumbled into a Mafia run club seeking a job, I was looking for protection. Little did I know I’d need protection from him. Damian was exactly the kind of danger I was trying to avoid. He was gorgeous as sin with an accent hotter than Ronan, but that’s where the charm ended. He was also cynical, cold, and downright cranky. So, you could imagine my surprise when he gave me a proposition to marry him or lose my life. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I’ve learned to do what’s necessary to survive in this world, and that includes marrying a mobster. Regardless of what he might say, it’s only temporary. It’s not like I’m going to fall for him, because that would be stupid, right?

Twenty-six, brilliant, and achingly untouched, PhD student Cassie walks into the city’s most exclusive sex club because of a bet against her virginity. She chooses him blindly: a cruel Dom who drags her to the hidden chambers, spreads her trembling thighs, and takes her virginity with slow, savage thrusts while she screams. She never sees his face. She buries the memory under ambition, until her mother’s death forces her back to her home. Her brother offers her an internship with his best friend, Reginald Walker; an introverted, lethal and impossibly controlled CEO. The man whose mere presence makes her wet and reckless. Cassie pushes until Reggie snaps, chains her on the wooden crucifix, spreads her legs and fucks her till she's speaking in tongues. Despite the fact that Reggie cannot do emotions, their secret affair turns raw and desperate: His hand is always fisted in her hair, his neck filled with hickeys that his shirt cannot hide. Their love and lust is so violent it terrifies them both. Then the devil returns. Lucien is the one who broke Cassie's virginity and he recognises her one night, when Cassie moans Reggie's name at the Forbidden. He wants a taste of her again and asks Reggie to share, as sometimes they shared subs. Reggie refuses. Lucien vows to get her. When Reggie's past is dug up and dirty secrets are revealed, the trust in the relationship is broken. Cassie runs to her brother with a broken heart. Reggie drowns in whiskey and self-loathing. On his knees in the rain,he begs for her forgiveness and love. She gives it, but nothing is the same again. They start over slowly, trying to rebuild what Lucien nearly destroyed. One careful kiss, one trembling “I love you,” one fragile heartbeat at a time.
