One reckless kiss to provoke his ex was all it took to drag Jaxon from peace into chaos. Jaxon Louis Ferraro only wanted to escape his dangerous past life; bury his name, forget his bloodline, and live free as a male top supermodel in New york city. But after discovering his boyfriend’s cruel betrayal, Jaxon made a reckless mistake: kissing and accidentally having a one-night stand with the most dangerously gorgeous man he’d ever laid eyes on. What Jaxon didn’t know is that this stranger wasn’t just some random undergound fighter. Jaxon didn’t know this stranger was the most dangerous man alive. And Jaxon definitely didn’t know he was the Mafia Don’s perfect alibi. Now hunted, watched, and claimed under the guise of protection, Jaxon is pulled into a world of blood, secrets, and forbidden desire. A world he has spent his entire life running from. But Jaxon isn’t just a beautiful and fragile mistake, he is the Don’s obsession… and his greatest damnation.

"Tell me you don’t feel the same way," Xavier murmured, his dark eyes locked on mine. "Tell me you don’t feel your heart racing every time you see me. Tell me you don’t think about me for hours, imagining things… imagining me touching you. Tell me you don’t feel jealous when you see me with another girl who isn’t you." He stepped closer, his lips curling into that infuriating smirk. "Tell me, Princess," he whispered. My throat went dry. My words stuttered. "I… I don’t feel anything for you," I barely managed. "You're such a terrible liar," he said, his grin darkening. ••• Everything changed the night my father died. Six months later, my mother’s whirlwind engagement brought me here — to his mansion, to his world, to him. Xavier Knight: arrogant, reckless and rebellious. The one person I shouldn’t want. The one person I can’t stop noticing. He’s not supposed to be mine. I’m not supposed to want him. And yet… every glance, every word, every heartbeat pulls me closer to danger.

Can Keegan tame the flames of Ember and together solve the mystery of her missing past? Or will they all burn together? Excerpt: “This is the reason I’m always tired,” I think to myself. Twenty-four years of coming here and still not a single clue, but every time I close my eyes, I return to this place. I know my surroundings perfectly. Oddly the place is beautiful to the eyes. The old house sat among flowers growing around all sides. The aroma of honeysuckle and jasmine fill my lungs filling me with a moment's peace. I’m sitting in my usual spot. Gripping the ropes of a swing in the front yard held by a large oak tree. Waiting I begin pushing my legs back and forth sending me in motion. I know something is about to happen. It happens every night. The house moves in front of my eyes. I see the shadows coming, but I don’t stop swinging. They are black as night but I can see smiles within the shadow grinning bright. “What is this place!” I cry, fed up with this nightly repetition, but no sound emerges. A noise can be heard from the back of the house. One of the shadows turns toward it. I jump down to follow only to have the other shadow hold me back. “Don’t go. Not yet. Listen to me!”

In a world where power is everything and weakness is despised, the Werewolf Kingdom bows to one man—The Enigma, a ruler feared as much as he is revered. Cursed with a beast no one can tame, every full moon demands a bride… and every bride leaves shattered, unable to withstand the monster within him. When the next offering is demanded, fate takes a cruel turn. Instead of a noble daughter, Elian Silvermist—a male omega, unwanted and ridiculed—is forced to take her place. Hidden beneath his quiet strength lies a dangerous secret: a scent so intoxicating it can bring even the strongest Alpha to his knees. But the moment Elian steps into the Enigma’s castle, everything changes. Because the monster does not see prey. He sees his mate. As the full moon approaches, desire clashes with fear, and secrets begin to unravel. The closer Elian gets to the truth, the more he begins to question everything— Is the Enigma truly a devil… or a king bound by something far darker? And when the bond finally awakens, one question remains: Will Elian survive the monster… or become the only one who can tame him?

“Our marriage will be nothing more than a deal.” Diablo said, glaring at his fiancé. “I doubt that you expect me to want anything from you to begin with.” Sienna said, shooting back at him. “As long as it would bring peace amongst our families, that is all it will ever be.” ****************** An arranged marriage is never easy. But when there is a lover in between, things can get a little more complicated…
