Fast on the ice and lethal with a smirk, he’s built a career on speed, charm, and winning. He was supposed to stay focused on the game… and loyal to his girlfriend, Katrina Brown. But everything changes when Melissa Brown—Katrina’s younger sister, fierce runway model, and rising hockey star—enters into a fake relationship with Xavier to skyrocket her modeling career. It was meant to be all for show. Just business. Just pretend. Until the cameras stopped rolling… and the chemistry became undeniable.

And a love that was never supposed to happen. The game was fake. The feelings weren’t. And someone’s about to lose it all.

I stared at the photos attached to an email. My Alpha mate, Marcus Hale, was supposed to be negotiating a partnership with another pack. But the photo showed him standing in Firefly Woods, a famous dating spot. Across from him were his long-lost first love and my two children. The four of them looked happy and complete, like a perfect family frozen in time. My heart jolted painfully. At the same moment, I realized that what I had with Marcus was over.

If the devil wears a suit... Has a permanent frown... Wet panties left and right.. Expect perfection from everyone... Well then, that's my boss. And today is not my day. It's never your day when you get called to his office. But an even worse day when he broodingly asks you to marry him. And apparently, no is not an answer he will take. So, does that mean I am now supposed to call my devil of a boss my pumpkin boo?

Virginia and her best friend Mariana find an unconventional way to change their lives and fulfill their dreams: They put their virginity up for auction. When Virginia receives an offer of one million reais, she doesn't think twice about handing over her only "asset" to the highest bidder.

She survived the poison that killed her family. She built an empire on the bones of men who hurt her. She swore no man would ever touch her heart again. Then her uncle sent the same boy who poisoned her fifteen years ago… …this time to seduce her, break her, and finish the job. He was supposed to kill the Alpha Queen. Instead, he woke the only thing that can save her—or destroy them both.

“You will be my maid by day and my mistress by night,” he whispers in my ear as my body trembles beneath his. “What Damon wants, he always gets. And tonight… I want you.” Robert, my husband, sold me off to pay his gambling debts for one million dollars to an irresistible, cold-hearted billionaire. It was supposed to be for just one night, and I was supposed to be the perfect submissive wife or risk Robert’s dangerous temper. But my whole life changed. It took one night of passion with Damon Noble to end five years of being called an incomplete woman for being barren. While Robert wanted to let me go, Damon offered me a contract I couldn’t refuse, to own me for three months. His rules were simple: all I had to do was be his mistress. Never fall in love with him. Obey his every command. And never get pregnant. What will happen when Damon discovers my secret pregnancy and a husband who wants me back? Who is my baby’s real father? When Damon and I fall head over heels in love with each other and enemies rise to tear us apart, will they succeed, or will our love conquer all?

I didn’t volunteer. I was sacrificed. In the brutal territory of Velmora, girls like me are nothing but breeding stock. My father handed me over like cattle to the Alpha Selection where surviving means being claimed by a wolf stronger than fear itself. But no one told me there were two Alphas. No one warned me about the twins: Kael, the violent one with rage in his veins, and Jarek, the cold one who told me to run… then watched while his brother nearly killed me. I was never meant to survive this place. I was never supposed to feel anything but pain. But they felt something. And that makes me dangerous. They think I’ll break. Maybe I will. But I’ll drag them down with me. ……... In Velmora, the Alpha Selection is sacred and brutal. Girls are offered, judged, and claimed. None return the same. Amber is human. She was supposed to be overlooked. Disposable. But when she steps into the twin Alphas’ den, something happens no one expected. Kael wants her dead. Jarek wants her gone. But the bond won’t let go. As whispers of an impossible connection stir, Amber finds herself entangled in a supernatural truth Velmora was never ready to face. A human girl shouldn’t be able to bond with Alphas. Unless she’s not just human.

Maddox: It started out innocent and sweet. The kind of love story where the good guy might finally win the girl. But that all went to shit when I gave into the thought that she might actually want me back. My foolish naivety is what broke me and another’s betrayal is what damned me. Love turned to anger and anger morphed into obsession and now…Well now I am powerful enough to twist fate to make her mine. Lies and deceit plague our once pure friendship as I take and take, stopping at nothing to get what I want. And what I want is her. Lana: This isn’t how this was supposed to go. I was supposed to choose one of my best friends to be my mate after they came back from Alpha training. Except that only one of them came back. The other exiled, left for dead and abandoned to the wild. That was just the first of many pitfalls that led to all my freedom and choices being stripped from me. By the time I discovered who the problem was I was already caught in his dark web and now I fear he won't ever let me go. I am trapped by a mate bond that was forced on me. But I'll be damned if I submit just because I’m his Luna.
