Simon Riley

“He rejected me before the entire pack… but now, he’s begging to be mine.” Born a secret hybrid—half vampire, half werewolf—Lisa was cast aside by her fated mate, Alpha Simon, who called her worthless and chose another. Heartbroken, she vanished… only to awaken a darker, deadlier side of herself. When the Vampire King offers her power and protection in a contract marriage, she accepts—just in time for her ex to crawl back, broken, and begging. But Lisa isn’t the same girl who cried at rejection. She’s the mother of his child… and the Luna he can no longer control.

Riley Hart doesn’t believe in fated mates, power hierarchies, or playing nice. Especially not with the arrogant, insufferable Alpha-in-waiting of Crescent City — Jaxon Vale. After being exiled from her former pack for reasons she refuses to talk about, Riley is content hiding among humans, living a quiet life as a barista with a biting sense of humor and a fierce independence. But when an attack forces her to shift in public, Riley’s secret is blown wide open — and she finds herself dragged into the powerful Vale Pack’s territory under Alpha law. Jaxon Vale is everything Riley hates — dominant, cocky, used to control. He doesn’t trust rogue wolves, especially not ones with hidden scars and biting sarcasm. But when a string of brutal, magical attacks starts targeting young werewolves across the city, Riley’s mysterious past might be the only key to stopping them. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Riley and Jaxon clash at every turn — until their rivalry simmers into something more dangerous: desire. As secrets unravel, trust is tested, and enemies close in, they’ll have to decide whether their bond is just a twist of fate… or the beginning of something worth fighting for. Because in Crescent City, wolves don’t fall in love — they survive it.

Two brothers. One forbidden girl. A dangerous craving no one wants to admit. When Sienna Cruz moves in with her new family, she never expects her quiet life to unravel in the hands of her drop-dead gorgeous stepbrothers—Simon and Soren Rivera. Simon is her silent protector. Cold to the world, but warm to her. He’s always there—watching, caring, saving—but never touching. Because to him, she’s off-limits. A craving he refuses to give in to. He has a girlfriend, a reputation, and walls too high to climb. Soren, his twin, is the opposite—bold, magnetic, and unashamed about wanting her. And he doesn't care if it ruins everything. Sienna is caught between Simon’s tortured restraint and Soren’s reckless desire. But the longer she stays, the harder it gets to tell love from lust, protection from possession. She was supposed to be their sister. But one wants her heart. The other wants her body. And she might not survive either.

“He’s unholy, he’s dirty, and you must be kept pure.” He said forcing our eyes to meet. The tip of his thumb brushed my lips. He let my hair go, stumbling back as tho he was tipsy. “Take off your clothes” I did as instructed, no questioning. When the miracle boy of Edevane is found in the arms of the Mayor's bastard son, the whole town erupts in a scandal. Simon, the adopted son of Father cadwell, was born to kneel and smile through pain. Behind the cathedral doors, Simon endures bruises because he's told, saints are meant to bleed. Arson Grey, the mayor's bastard son, reckless and irresponsible finds Simon attractive and sees through his facade. He wants the boy under the mask. Simon’s past comes back to hunt him, but things are different this time. When Simon falls, when he loses his faith, and scatters the boat of salvation. Would Arson be there to catch him? What happens when saints falls?.

Para sa isang katulad ni Riley Serrano, ang makalabas sa eskwater ay pangarap na hindi matatawaran. Kaya kahit anong trabaho, pinatulan niya, kahit hindi pa malinaw kung ano talaga ito. Ang mahalaga ay magkakapera na siya. Pero huli na nang malaman niyang ang trabahong pinasok niya ay ang maging surrogate ng isang bilyonaryo!
