Nesta Cassian Azriel

Sou a melhor falsificadora de arte e especialista em inteligência de Chicago. E me apaixonei pelo homem que comandava tudo: Don Vincenzo Russo. Por dez anos, fui o seu segredo, sua arma e sua mulher. Construí o império dele nas sombras. Achei que ganharia um anel. Afinal, todas as noites em que ele estava nesta cidade, ele se enterrava em mim, tomando o seu prazer. Sussurrava que eu era dele, que ninguém mais o fazia sentir tão bem. Mas desta vez, depois que acabou comigo, ele anunciou que iria se casar com a princesa da Bratva russa, Katerina Petrov. Foi aí que eu entendi. Eu não era a mulher dele. Eu era apenas um corpo. Por uma aliança, por ela, ele me sacrificou. Ele me deixou para morrer. Então destruí cada pedaço da vida que ele me deu. Fiz uma ligação para o meu pai, na Itália. E depois… desapareci. Mas quando o Don que dominava Chicago não conseguiu encontrar o seu brinquedo favorito… ele enlouqueceu.

In the shadowed swamps of the South, where ancient cypress roots drink deep from the earth, something older and far more dangerous stirs. Rio never asked to be reborn into darkness, but as a fledgling vampire trained by the ruthless and alluring Odessa, he’s learned quickly that survival demands both strength and sacrifice. Haunted by the family he left behind, Rio carries the weight of his choices—yet he can’t ignore the fragile bond forming with Junie Elowen, a newly turned vampire whose bright green eyes hide grief, fear, and an untapped power that could change everything. Odessa’s control slips as her complicated attachment to Rio deepens, forcing him to question where loyalty ends and obsession begins. But greater threats rise when Cassian—an ancient vampire and Junie’s sire—emerges from the shadows, determined to claim what he believes is his. Power struggles ignite, alliances fracture, and the swamp itself seems to whisper warnings of blood yet to be spilled. A story of forbidden bonds, found family, and the price of power, Blood Beneath the Cypress is a dark, atmospheric tale where love and loyalty are as dangerous as the monsters lurking in the night.

Selena Heron only wanted two things in life: for her younger sister to enter the school of her dreams, and to marry her boyfriend, Beta Zevran Storm of Silvercreek. But everything crumbles when Zevran finds his fated mate, and it isn’t her. Accused of theft and thrown out of the palace, her sister’s dreams are at stake, and this makes Selena leave the city to Stormcreek, capital of the pack, where she auditions for a job as a nanny. She never expects to come face-to-face with Alpha King Cassian Storm—a cold, brooding leader who’s unimpressed by her boldness. But when his daughter, who hasn’t spoken in years, utters her first words to Selena, the Alpha makes a shocking proposal: Marry him. Become his Luna. Help his daughter complete the sacred rite of Luna bonding. Then walk away rich, free, and unclaimed. It’s supposed to be a contract. Strictly business. But when the forbidden mate bond begins to burn between them, Selena must decide: Is it worth risking her heart for a man who swore he’d never give his? Especially when that man is her ex-boyfriend’s step brother?

He was the prince destined to rule. She was the rogue who vanished with his heart… and his child. In the mystical kingdom of Silver More, where Lycans rule under moonlit prophecy, Prince Jayden stands on the edge of power—and war. Cold, commanding, and haunted by betrayal, he’s never forgotten the one she-wolf who disappeared after one unforgettable night. Ivy has lived in the shadows, raising her child in secret, protected by the one man she always stands by—Cassian, the brooding rogue with a heart full of unspoken love and dangerous secrets of his own. When fate draws Ivy back to Silver More, old wounds reopen. Jayden discovers the shocking truth: she didn’t just steal his heart—she bore his heir. Now, with enemies circling the throne and dark secrets threatening to destroy them all, Ivy is caught between the two powerful males who would fight for her, betray for her… and die for her. Lies will be exposed. Blood will be spilled. And under the light of the full moon, love will either heal the past or tear them apart forever.

“I’m not a man, Little Pup. I will never be your knight in shining armor. I will never love you. I will never be your mate,” he said those words to her while making her feel things she had never felt. Sasha Thorne had always known one day her father would use her in his quest for power, even though she was wolfless and the lowest-ranked person in his pack. To her father, she was nothing more than an insult from the goddess. When that time comes, her father offers her as a bride to Cassian Whitehorn. He is a man with no heart. He is cold, ruthless, and unpredictable. He only wanted an heir from her, and she only wanted to escape the monster who brought her on this earth.  But what happens when his coldness is met with a warm smile that melts even the coldest ice? When his ruthless nature clashes with her compassion? It was only meant to be a deal, an heir for freedom. But when she takes what is his and runs. He will burn the world to bring back his heir and her.

Five months pregnant, I watched my fated mate’s foster sister pour oil on our sacred threshold and strike the spark. I didn’t reach for the pack-link. Last life, I screamed through our bond. Cassian—my Alpha, the wolf I’d followed since I was six—came for me. Pulled me from the flames while his foster sister burned to charcoal behind us. He said nothing against me, even arranged the best care for my pregnancy. But on the fourth night after our daughter was born, he dragged us to the Blood Moon altar. He stood upon the High Rock, silver fur gleaming in the dark, and gave the order. His enforcers pinned me to the stone. He watched, silent and still, as they lit the pyre beneath our daughter’s body first—then mine. "You let Eira burn," he said, while the flames devoured us. "So you burn with what you loved." When I opened my eyes, I was back on the floor of our burning den.

“I’ll give you one chance, Li,” he spat. “Prove it’s mine. Prove you didn’t cheat—right here. Right now.” My stomach dropped. Gasps swallowed the room. “Bastard,” I whispered. Then came the final blow. Uniformed officers stepped forward. “Mrs. Hale, you’re under arrest for corporate espionage.” Five years ago, Cassian Hale destroyed my life, divorcing me publicly, framing me for crimes I didn’t commit, all while cheating with his manipulative secretary, Scarlett Reed. I survived. I thrived. I married his greatest rival, Tristan Valenti. Now I’m back. A ruthless CEO with a secret son he never knew existed, I have one mission: revenge. And I won’t stop until he pays—for the betrayal, the lies, and the life he tried to steal from me. Once I'm done with his cheating ass and his sorry excuse of a side chick, they will wish I was dead.

J'ai fixé du regard le contrat de mariage Vercetti que mon père avait poussé vers moi sur la table. Sans hésiter, j'ai inscrit le nom de ma demi-sœur, Demi, et je l'ai repoussé vers lui. Mon père s'est figé. Puis ses yeux se sont illuminés d'une excitation ridicule, comme s'il venait de gagner au loto. « Comment as-tu pu laisser ta sœur bénéficier d'une telle opportunité ? » Dans ma vie antérieure, mon mariage était une plaisanterie pour tout mon entourage. J'étais la petite sorcière aux cheveux roux et indomptable qui osait entrer dans l'orbite de Cassian Vercetti, l'héritier et chef de la famille criminelle Vercetti. Je n'ai jamais été parfaite ni obéissante. Il aimait les robes de déesse. Je portais des minijupes et dansais sur les tables. Il exigeait une intimité missionnaire, traditionnelle et ordonnée. Je voulais grimper sur lui, le chevaucher, me perdre complètement. Lors d'un gala, les femmes de la haute société se sont moquées de mes cheveux, de ma robe, de ma « sauvagerie ». Je pensais qu'il ferait au moins semblant de me défendre. Il ne l'a pas fait. « Pardonnez-lui. Elle n'est pas... correctement dressée. » Dressée. Il parlait de moi comme si j'étais un chien. J'ai passé toute ma vie à étouffer sous ses règles, à me plier de force pour m'adapter à ce qu'il voulait, jusqu'à la nuit où notre maison a pris feu. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue au moment où j'avais appris le mariage arrangé. J'ai regardé le contrat devant moi. Cette fois-ci ? Je pensais que les garçons de la boîte de nuit me convenaient mieux. Mais dès que Cassian a réalisé que la mariée n'était pas moi, il a brisé toutes les règles qu'il avait toujours suivies.

She thought marrying a powerful CEO would bring her happiness. Instead, Liana was neglected, humiliated, and treated as nothing more than a placeholder wife. When her husband openly brought his first love into their home, she finally snapped—throwing the divorce papers in his face and walking away without looking back. Everyone thought she was ruined. But then came the shocking truth: Liana was the long-lost daughter of the influential Carver family. Her three overprotective brothers appeared like a storm to shield her from the world: Leo Carver, the ruthless business tycoon, handed her shares worth billions. Cassian Carver, the sharpest lawyer in the country, swore her ex-husband would crawl out of the divorce with nothing. Dante Carver, the nation’s beloved superstar, announced to millions: “She is my only sister. Whoever dares bully her will answer to me.” From the ashes of betrayal, Liana rose brighter than ever, living like a queen under her brothers’ protection. And when her ex-husband came crawling back, begging for another chance, her brothers only smirked coldly— “Chasing after our sister? You’re not even worthy.”
