Sans Bones

Ku Klux Klan, ripoux de la CIA, secte apocalyptique chinoise, mafia russe...Ca barde sérieux pour Charlie Blues, aviateur aventurier dragueur et bagarreur. Lui qui aime patauger dans les embrouilles, cette fois-ci, il va en avoir pour son argent. C'est le cas de le dire avec 1 million de dollars à la clé...Sans compter qu'au milieu de tout ça, surgit la sublimissime comtesse Kassandra Bianka-Stiavnica. Pas facile de séduire une aristocrate de haut-rang, quand on tombe de Charybde en Scylla. Surtout quand débarque à l'improviste Anita, sa plus que torride ex-femme, une bombe italienne au caractère aussi incendiaire que ses tenues vestimentaires...

In my last life, I made the dumbest mistake—picked up a Moonlight Ring from the grass. That cursed thing locked me into a mate bond with Silvermoon Pack's Alpha. Too bad his heart already belonged to my sister, Irene. She lived to a hundred, had five pups with her real mate in Ravenshade Pack while I rotted. Every time she got cozy with her mate, Leon tossed me in the basement. "You picked up that ring! I had to watch my true love build a family with someone else!" For eighty years, she lived happily. I barely lived at all. Leon flayed me open, let my skin grow back, then crushed my bones just to watch them heal. Every day felt like dying on repeat. Only when Irene finally kicked the bucket did he let me go. Then boom—I woke up, right back on the day I picked up that damn ring. I wasn't gonna screw it up again. But Irene—always the clean freak—snatched it off the ground before I could stop her.

My online boyfriend is my university professor and the future werewolf king, Sarek. And me? I’m Mila—just a human hunter’s descendant scraping by in the cracks of an era where species coexist in uneasy peace. What he doesn’t know is that his online girlfriend, whom he wishes to tear apart a thousand times over, is sitting in the very last row of his classroom. The online relationship was never meant to be real. It started as revenge to get back at him for failing me. But who would’ve thought this werewolf was so starved for affection that he’d fall deeper and deeper in love? Again and again, he pushed to meet in person. However, if we ever really met face to face, I’d be torn apart and swallowed whole—bones and all. To save my life, I made a split-second decision and broke up with him. The result? The “abandoned” werewolf king lost his mind. Classes dragged on for three extra hours, and homework increased fivefold. For the sake of my classmates’ mental and physical health, getting back together… wasn’t entirely impossible. There was only one condition: he could never find out who I really am.

In Black Salt, love is a sickness you can’t hide—a slow gnawing beneath the skin that leaves you hollowed, grayed, and eventually gone. No one stays long enough to see it through; they leave before the rot finishes its work. It’s what the town teaches you: when it starts, you run. You look away. You survive by pretending not to feel. But Atlas is tired of pretending. The halls of Black Salt High are full of kids pretending they don’t see each other’s bruised hearts, pretending their bones aren’t already whispering warnings. Still, he can’t forget the weight of a father who stayed—not out of love, but because he never felt it deep enough to decay. That truth lingers in Atlas like a second shadow. And then there’s Nova—the outsider with a storm in her bones. And Wren, all sharpness and fight. Milo, who cracks jokes to keep the silence at bay. Luce, who wears her thorns like jewelry. Together, they don’t know how to stop the rot. But they’re learning how to sit with it, how to name it, how to refuse the small, hollow deaths of pretending not to care. In a town where love is a death sentence, staying might be the bravest thing of all.

I didn’t just lose my mate on the night of our Ascendance Ball. I lost my dignity. Standing in the center of the gilded ballroom, in a dress that cost more than my life, I watched Drail choose her. My best friend. He didn't just reject our fated bond; he laughed while doing it, his hand resting on her pregnant stomach. Cast out. Humiliated. Rogue. I ran into the storm and straight into the chest of a monster. Derek Montenegro. The Ruthless. The exiled Prince of the European packs. A man with tattoos crawling up his neck and a reputation for breaking bones as easily as he breaks hearts. He’s cold, commanding, and dangerously beautiful. He offers me a deal. A contract. "Marry me, Raya. Wear my mark. Become the Queen of the underworld, and I will give you the power to crush the people who broke you." I thought I was signing a deal with the devil to get revenge. I didn't know the devil had a twin. And I certainly didn't know that the rejection wasn't an accident—it was the first move in a war between brothers, and I am the weapon they both intend to wield.

Before the flight takes off, my fiance, the pilot, boards the plane with a suitcase. He says it's a gift from his childhood sweetheart and warns me not to touch it. I can't shake the uneasy feeling creeping into my heart, so I sneak inside. To my shock, I find high-risk contraband hidden in the luggage. I report it immediately and use my commendation to cover for Edward's mistake and save his career. However, his precious childhood sweetheart is arrested, detained, and sentenced. He doesn't say a word after the incident. However, during another flight, he cuts the cord to my parachute. "Jade, I know you're jealous of Cindy! You sabotaged her during her flight attendant training and framed her afterward! Do you think this will make me love you? Dream on! I would never marry a petty woman like you!" I plunge from ten thousand meters above the ground, leaving nothing but blood and broken bones behind. When I open my eyes again, I see Cindy sending Edward off, and he's carrying the same suitcase. I quietly step back and decide I won't save him this time.

My adopted sister, an Omega who has always seemed delicate, harmless, and wolf-less, vanishes the night before full moon. Everyone, including my parents and my mate—the Alpha who's supposed to protect me—blames me for driving her away. They drag me to the Memory Offering altar, bind my wolf in silver chains, and demand the truth from my memories. Little do they know that my body has been laced with 99 silver needles, buried deep under my skin, each one driven in by the hand of the innocent girl they adore the most. The silverbane has seeped through my blood, eating away at my bones and my wolf spirit. I don't have long. So, I seize control. I invoke the oldest rite in the pack, the Memory Offering, to let them see the truth with their own eyes. For three years, I've been the one who was framed, humiliated, and tortured. Meanwhile, my so-called gentle sister is the real monster behind it all. By the time the truth is revealed, the silverbane has devoured my soul. Bathed in the blinding white light of the rite, I die on that cold, stone altar, with a pain that cuts to the bone and a peace that feels almost like freedom.

Après avoir passé une nuit avec un homme étrange la veille de son mariage, Arianna quitte le pays pour refaire sa vie. Arianna Jason, 22 ans, a passé sa vie à faire plaisir à ceux qu'elle aimait le plus, sans savoir qu'elle n'était qu'une proie nourrie pour le jour de sa ruine. Sa vie a goûté à l'amère pilule de la trahison. Elle veut rendre au monde ce qu'elle a, mais comment peut-elle changer sa bonne et innocente personnalité pour s'adapter à une société et un monde cruels ? Sa douce nature peut-elle être contaminée, ou s'en sortira-t-elle, pagayant sur le bon chemin ?

La prostitution n'était pas vraiment l'avenir qu'Ariella avait imaginé. Mais une série de malheurs l'a menée dans un bordel dont elle ne pouvait s'échapper. Jusqu'à ce que son salut arrive sous les traits de Killian Morozcov. Il se comportait comme s'il était le maître du monde et n'hésitait pas à abattre ceux qui le regardaient de travers. Il est entré dans le bordel et en est reparti avec elle, et malgré toutes ses supplications, il a refusé de lui en donner la raison. L'expérience lui avait appris que soit on poignarde quelqu'un dans le dos, soit on est poignardé dans le dos. Pourtant, Killian lui a révélé une facette de l'humanité qu'elle ignorait, et ses défenses sont tombées, donnant naissance à un amour dont ils savaient tous deux qu'il était voué à l'échec. Il était l'héritier d'un empire mafieux, et elle, une fille de bordel sans aucun soutien familial. Leur amour était condamné dès l'instant où Killian l'a sauvée. Surtout qu'il a sauvé la mauvaise personne. Il était allé au bordel en croyant qu'Ariella était sa sœur disparue, Stella Morozcov. Il s'était trompé, et en poursuivant ses recherches pour retrouver Stella, il était tombé amoureux d'Ariella. À tel point qu'il avait l'impression de ne plus pouvoir respirer sans elle. Leur amour n'était bâti que sur la douleur et le mensonge… des squelettes dans le placard. Ils cachaient tous deux des secrets qui pourraient les séparer. Mais le passé est étrange… on a beau le fuir, il finit toujours par nous rattraper.
