“You don’t always have to say something, you know that, right?” I said, my voice sounding strange in my ears. “You need to stop talking down on people just to massage your stupid ego!” ***** The worst thing about suddenly changing schools is the part where you think it's your chance to begin from the top—take life by the reins and navigate it in the direction you've always wanted. That was what Sydney Walker thought when her boyfriend, Chase Monroe, released private pictures of her right before he left the town. Then a week after, her father is found dead in the cold rain. She was forced to go live in a whole new city with her family which she barely knew, giving her hope that she could start afresh. But news flash: she's still the same plus size, introverted nerd even in her perfect sister's kind of clothes. And Tyler Sinclair—Lakeview’s golden boy, never called it a day if he didn't remind her that she was three times her sister's size, up to their senior year. But the more he punches her in the guts, the more circumstances around her push her to fight back. But when? And how would she finally square up to the one boy that toxic part of her secretly wants to see every day? And what about Tyler? Are his insults just mere “tease” or is there something going on in his family that no one else knows about?

“Do you feel that, Wren? That pull between us?” His eyes darken, flicking to my mouth. “It’s wrong. Your brother would sl*t my throat for even standing this close. But tell me, little bird—” his breath ghosts against my skin, “—are you trembling because you hate me… or because you’ve wanted this as much as I have?” >>> Wren thought she’d left the chaos of New Orleans behind; the club life, the blood-soaked loyalty, the men who lived and died by their kuttes. Seattle gave her everything she could ever want—freedom, love, a future. But one betrayal sends it all crashing down. Dragged back home by tragedy, Wren finds herself under the watchful eye of Ezra Jax, the vice president of the Raven Reapers MC, and her brother’s best friend. He’s infuriating, dangerous, and far too tempting. But the deeper she’s pulled into his world, the more she realizes that nothing about her past or Ezra, is what she thought. Yet in the chaos of gang wars, debts, and betrayals, he’s the one who never leaves her side. The more she fights him, the harder she falls. And the more he pushes her away, the more dangerous his pull becomes. Because in this world, love isn’t sweet. It’s brutal, bloody, and bound to break them both. When loyalty is everything and love can cost your life, will Wren risk her heart on the one man she was never meant to love?

Rule #1: Never hook up with your boss. Rule #2: Especially when you think it’s just a game… and he’s playing for keeps. I am unfiltered, loud, and allergic to corporate seriousness. When I caught a gorgeous, buttoned-up stranger giving me a judgmental side-eye at a crowded nightclub, I wrote him off as an uptight snob. Then Monday arrived. The arrogant snob? Julian Sterling—the brilliant, terrifyingly composed new Vice President. And my department’s biggest boss. He’s everything I usually avoid: pristine suits, cold precision, and steel-tight control. But after one late-night drive and a dangerously heated glance across a boardroom, I decide that breaking through his icy armor might just be the most fun I’ve ever had. A strictly casual, no-strings-attached arrangement. Simple, right? JULIAN I pride myself on two things: absolute discipline and zero distractions. Until Scarlett Vance stormed into my office. She’s a vibrant hurricane in short skirts and sharp comebacks. She breaks every rule I live by, tests every ounce of my restraint, and treats our late-night encounters like a game. She thinks we’re just reckless colleagues sharing a secret behind closed doors. She thinks she’s the one pulling the strings. What Scarlett doesn't realize is that I don't do casual—and now that I’ve tasted her, I have no intention of ever letting her go. "A high-heat, laugh-out-loud workplace romance packed with fiery banter, shameless flirting, and a possessive hero who will burn the world down just to keep his girl."

What would you do if you got pregnant by the CEO you hated? Caroline's life takes an unexpected turn when, the same day she is denied the student loan she applied for, she finds her boyfriend and his best friend together in her bed. Depressed, she ends up at a bar with a co-worker who consoles her, and it is there that she argues with a handsome man she bumps into. She never expects him to be the multimillionaire CEO who bought the hotel where she works, and for that reason, she gets fired days later. When she becomes unemployed, she runs out of opportunities, and that makes her take desperate measures such as donating her eggs without even thinking that a mistake would make her get pregnant by the CEO she detests, turning her life upside down. She must make the most important decision of her life, but he doesn't make it easy for her.

D*mn, you're delicious," he murmured into her mouth. "You taste like a goddess." She heard the sound of his belt buckle, and her frantic heart stopped because she knew what was coming. "D*mn, I need to be inside you," he declared with a hint of desperation that she loved. She reacted and helped him free himself from his pants because she needed it, too, and she needed it now. But when his member was finally free, and she felt him position himself, his gaze wandered for a moment to a spot behind them. It was only for a second, but that second was enough to see how the entire expression on his face transformed. The desire froze, and instead of the fiery, passionate man from a moment ago, he was that block of ice he usually was again. He took two steps back and looked down. She sat up, confused. "What's wrong?" she asked, baffled. He tensed his jaw and shook his head while zipping up his pants again. A whirlwind of emotions crowded her chest and got stuck in her throat. "Enzo," she called out, but he didn't respond. He bent down to pick up his shirt and walked toward his room without looking at her. "Enzo!" she yelled, but he ignored her and entered his room, slamming the door. She was left on the island, naked, not understanding anything. All the fire went out, giving way to a sadness that settled in her heart. He rejected her. Enzo rejected her. After his wife’s death, Enzo Romano swore his heart was buried with her. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. But when duty forces him into a contract marriage with innocent Arianna, the girl who secretly adores him, she finds herself falling for a man who will never love her back.

“This… this is wrong,” she stuttered, trying not to meet his eyes. “You’re my stepfather. Let’s forget it ever happened.” “How can I forget it happened, Nicole?” He questioned, gripping her chin. “When the image of you whimpering for more replays in my head every f*ck*ng night?” When one night of desperation turns into Nicole ending up in bed with a nameless stranger, she’s almost shocked to death when she moves in with her mother’s new husband to see that the nameless stranger is her new stepfather. Tristan Michelson has always been in control of his emotions, but he can barely control himself when he realizes the masked stripper is his new stepdaughter.

My father sold me on a Tuesday. By Friday, I was married to the most feared man on the coast. By Sunday, I'd found the error in his books, and decided not to tell him. Yet. Elena Moretti was the quiet daughter. She kept the family restaurant's accounts, kept her head down, and kept pretending she didn't see her father drowning in debt to the Rossi family. Then the debt came due, and the payment had a dress code: white. Dante Rossi. They call him the Alpha King. Banks fear him, judges owe him, and the four other families on the coast step aside when he walks into a room. What Elena doesn't know, the night she signs his contract, is that the men of his house aren't men at all. She arrives with her own amendments. Separate rooms. No lies. Nobody touches her family again, ever. She keeps the books. And one clause she didn't understand when she wrote it: no marking. What Dante doesn't tell her is that the moment she walked in, his wolf chose her. A human mate. Under the old code, an Alpha bound to a human is unfit to rule, and someone in his house has been waiting years for exactly that excuse. Because there's a traitor inside the Rossi family, moving money through accounts only a very good bookkeeper would ever notice. And the King's new wife is a very, very good bookkeeper. Wolves can smell fear. They've never met a woman who doesn't have any. His enemies fear him. His wife audits him.
