The Rising

Escaping from her abusive husband with nothing but the clothes on her back, a beaten and bruised Laura shows up on the doorstep of her estranged older brother - and President of a well-known motorcycle club, Jake Wilson. But before she can even make it into the house, she runs into a tall, dark, deep well of trouble - her brother's best friend and second in command, Talon Nash. *********** He stepped closer, closing the gap between us in one stride. His hands found my hips, pulling me into him with a firm but gentle grip. The sawdust clinging to his skin mingled with the scents of his sweat and cologne, and I breathed it in, reveling in it. “Your reward,” he murmured, his lips brushing against my ear, “is me not dragging you upstairs and ruining you right now in front of all these guys.” My breath hitched, and I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks, but I smirked. I wasn’t about to let him win this one. “No fair. That’s more of a punishment than a reward,” I said, crossing my arms over my chest. “I want a refund.” “NOT getting f*cked in front of the prospects is a punishment?” He chuckled, a deep rumbling sound that vibrated through me. “Fine,” he added, his lips curling into a wicked grin. “Careful what you wish for, angel.” Before I could respond, he bent down and hoisted me up over his shoulder like a sack of flour. I let out a startled laugh, my hands instinctively gripping the back of his jeans. The prospects paused their work, watching with amused smirks as Talon carried me toward the stairs. “Talon!” I protested, though my laughter betrayed me. “Put me down!”

When wandering healer Elara Nightvale is dragged to the cursed court of the Dragon King, she expects death not the dangerous pull she feels toward the man everyone calls a monster. Gifted with forbidden healing magic that drains her life with every use, Elara has spent years hiding her power. But in the dark kingdom of Ashenrealm, her abilities awaken something ancient and deeply tied to the king himself. Verath Dravenor, ruler of the Ashen Throne, carries the soul of the last dragon and a curse that turns desire into destruction. The closer he grows to someone, the more unstable his power becomes. Lovers have died. Allies fear him. He has sworn never to want anyone again. Until Elara arrives. Her presence calms the dragon within him yet ignites an obsession he cannot control. Forced into proximity after an assassination attempt and rising rebellion, Elara and Verath become reluctant allies. She heals his wounds; he shields her from enemies who would exploit her rare bloodline. With every touch, their bond deepens, blurring the line between survival and forbidden attraction. But Ashenrealm is on the brink of war. Rival kingdoms plot to overthrow the Dragon King, while dark magic resurfaces, threatening to unleash an ancient power tied to Elara’s lineage. As Verath’s curse worsens, he must choose: push her away and lose control… or claim her and risk consuming her completely. When passion finally ignites, their magic intertwines in a soulbinding union that could break the curse or destroy the kingdom. In a world where love is dangerous and power demands sacrifice, Elara and Verath must decide if their bond will save Ashenrealm…or burn it to ashes.

Lila of Silverfang was supposed to become Luna. On the night of the Choosing Moon, fate binds her to Kael Nightbane—the future Alpha of a rival pack, the mate the Moon itself has chosen for her. But in front of both packs, Kael does the unthinkable. He rejects her. Publicly. Brutally. Permanently. Exposed as an illegitimate heir to kael abd his father and stripped of her future, Lila is left shattered as the bond meant to unite them violently breaks. But rejection does not end her story—it awakens it. Fleeing the ruins of her old life, Lila stumbles into a forgotten fortress where she uncovers a buried truth: she is not just Silverfang blood. She is Moonblooded—part of a cursed, forgotten lineage of wolves blessed with divine power… and feared by history itself. With her powers unstable and dangerous, Lila is taken in by Ardan, a rogue Alpha with secrets of his own, who trains her to survive the power rising inside her. But survival is not enough. Two years later, she returns under a new name—Selene. No longer the girl who was rejected, she becomes a force the world cannot ignore: a rogue wolf who hunts in silence, dismantling Nightbane patrols and rewriting fear into legend. But the closer she gets to power, the more the past refuses to stay buried. Because Kael Nightbane is no longer just the boy who rejected her. He is an Alpha. And he is beginning to realize that the woman he cast aside… might be the most dangerous truth his world has ever tried to erase. In a world where power is inherited, feared, and stolen, Selene must decide: Will she reclaim the bond that broke her… Or become the storm that destroys everything that rejected her?

I've just returned from the world's biggest tech summit when my mentor, who's like a father to me, calls. He tells me he's arranged for me to marry his close friend's son, Jonathan Ford. Jonathan is one of Javron's rising stars. A few of my patents are licensed to his company, and they form the core technology of his new product. I work late to wrap up everything in the lab. Then, I dress up and head to the engagement ceremony. Unexpectedly, I'm stopped at the door by Jonathan's secretary, Linda Jones. She wears a lavish gown and looks more like the bride than I do. "Turn around and scram if you know what's good for you," she says with a sneer. "You're just an orphan from the countryside—think twice about whether you're worthy of our CEO." I ask, "Does Jonathan know you're making decisions for him like this?" She lets out a contemptuous laugh. "You're nothing but a pretty face who needs to ride on her mentor's reputation to get married. How can you possibly understand the weight I carry in Mr. Ford's heart?" A blush spreads across her face as she speaks. I study her for a few seconds, then call Jonathan. "If your idea of courtesy is leaving your fiancee standing outside the venue, then here's how I'll repay the favor. I'll let you read the contract and watch as I sell my patents to your competitor. How does that sound?"

Imran Khan’s life falls apart the day his father disappears, leaving him drowning in debt and hunted by dangerous men. With no way out, he makes a desperate choice, selling one night of his life to a stranger. But that stranger turns out to be Rafaelle Moretti, a powerful and dangerous man who doesn’t just want one night… he wants control. What starts as a deal quickly turns into something darker. Possession. Power. Desire. Imran wants freedom. Rafaelle doesn’t let go. “Say my name, Gattino.” His voice came out low, smooth, and controlled, the kind that didn’t need to be loud to make your body react. It wrapped around me, heavy and dangerous, as his body pressed mine deeper into the mattress. I could feel the weight of him, solid and unyielding, hovering just enough to remind me that I wasn’t going anywhere unless he allowed it. I swallowed, my throat dry, my chest rising and falling too fast. Even thinking his name felt like stepping into something I couldn’t come back from. His hand pinned my wrist above my head, not rough, not painful, just firm enough to remind me who was in control. The other slid slowly along my side, fingers dragging in a way that made my skin heat up against my will. Every touch was deliberate, like he was studying me, learning how I reacted without me saying a word. “Say it,” he murmured again, his face closer now, his breath warm against my lips.
