At an electronics-free night club in the heart of a futuristic city, the workaholic owner's new assistant has to learn what makes the "boss happy" - Kev, a perfectly ordinary human, wakes up not in his bed, but in a lavish back room of Club Fang, a den of hedonism and power run by a city's worth of anthropomorphic beasts. He's the only human in sight, an anomaly in a world of fur, scales, and feathers. Mistaken for a new hire, he's given a simple job: be the personal assistant to the club's brooding, formidable owner, a wolfman named Fang. With no memory of how he got here and no way home, Kev has to adapt or die. Lacking claws, fangs, or magic, he must rely on his most unconventional skills: common sense, empathy, and human ideas that seem... novel to the beasts. What starts as a desperate bid for survival soon becomes a strange new life. Kev finds himself navigating a world of intricate social rules and shadowy business deals, becoming a part-time therapist, full-time problem-solver, and the unlikely confidant to the club's dysfunctional family. From making breakfast for a hungover moose-man and teaching a stoic eagle security guard how to swim, to fending off the advances of a dangerously flirtatious tiger, Kev's days are anything but ordinary. - What to Expect: A Slice of Life Isekai/Portal Fantasy Found Family Dynamics Slow-Burn M/M Romance A Unique World of Modern Beastkin A Mix of Cozy, Humorous Moments and High-Stakes Intrigue Daily Updates

But as a single mother, the life she built was fragile until the man from her past discovered the truth. Now he wants her and his son. But how can Evelyn trust the father of her child... when he's also the enemy of the man who raised her? **** Excerpt: "B-Boss... the woman you slept with that night... she wasn't the supermodel the company just signed," Dylan stammered, his voice trembling. Axel's brow furrowed even further. He tried digging through the hazy, alcohol-soaked memories of that night.  Of course, he remembered the party. He remembered the whiskey. But the woman? Nope. His brain served up a blank slate. "Who was she?" Dylan swallowed. "The first daughter of William Walters." "Cough! Cough!" Axel coughed violently, his face turning red and eyes wide with shock. He never thought that woman would end up in his bed.  --- Curiosity won, as always. Evelyn grabbed the remote and hit the power button. The screen lit up, and her jaw dropped. Her eyes went wide, as if the Grim Reaper himself had just stepped out of the TV to ask for her phone number. “What the…? Why does my personal source of misery pop up the second I turn this thing on?” Because there he was, Axel Knight, gliding out of his luxury car like some corporate deity on his way to a business banquet. Evelyn scrambled for the remote to turn it off, but of course, fate had other plans. Axel turned to the camera and gave a casual wave, acknowledging the paparazzi vultures lined up outside. She hated to admit it, but the man looked sinfully good in his signature black suit and high turtleneck, his sleek black hair framing a face that could stop traffic and quite possibly her breathing. Then, suddenly, her stomach clenched. Her hand instinctively rubbed her flat belly. “Little tenant, did you just say you recognize him?”

Nova Celestia, after her brutal heartbreak three years ago, swore she would never get involved with any man again. Her walls became so high, even she had forgotten the woman she used to be. But her defenses are challenged by a mysterious force: Aaron William Laurent, heir to the richest and oldest European family, who is hiding his identity to uncover those siding with his uncle and brother within the company. Aaron is cold, brutal, cruel, and morally twisted. He doesn’t pray. He doesn’t beg. He does whatever he must to get what he wants. Until her, he never desired any woman. Nova finds herself trapped in the twisted inheritance game of the Laurent family — and something even bigger: darker secrets all connected to the man who looks at her as if she is his only compass. One drunk night, one kiss, one confession, and desire changes the trajectory of their lives. “Forget what happened that night. We were drunk,” she says coldly. “Forget it? No, Princess. You can rewrite that night a million times, and I refuse to forget how I marked you,” he says, holding her jaw. Nova doesn’t know she has become the object of desire — the obsession — of the very Young Master everyone warned her not to defy. Blood, betrayal, sacrifice, fear, desire, forbidden fruit, and love so intense that even lifetimes would bend to bring them back together. “Take my everything. I will beg. I will pray. I will sacrifice every part of me. Just give her back to me, please.” And love made the man who never believed in God — who never knelt before anyone — fall to his knees under the sky, begging for the only woman who makes sense of his life.

But when assassins strike and the rot in Glatith’s heart begins to spread, both must decide how far they’re willing to go for love, loyalty, and the kingdom’s survival.

In a world ruled by wealth, power, and intelligence, Anastasia Raventhorn Vasiliev is untouchable. The sole heir of the 1st and 3rd richest families in the world, she is a goddess in both beauty and mind—a cruel angel whose very existence commands reverence. The world bows at her feet, yet she walks it alone, indifferent to the love and admiration of countless suitors. For her, emotions are a game, and life is a battlefield where only the strong survive. And then, there is Vincent Blackwood. The second son of the 2nd richest family, he was born to rule but willingly abandoned his throne. An unfathomable genius, a rising star, and the son of the world’s most ruthless mafia king, he could have had everything—except the one thing he truly wanted. Anastasia. He loved her to the point of madness, but love was never enough. He chased, he worshipped, he bled for her. And still, she remained untouched, distant, looking down at him as though he were nothing but an afterthought. Yet Vincent was never meant to be second. Not in life, not in power, and certainly not in her heart. If she would not come to him, then he would shatter the world until she had no choice but to see him. If she refused to be his, then he would become hers—mind, body, and soul. He would break himself, ruin himself, lose everything… until she could no longer deny that he belonged to her. But when a god falls for a goddess, is it love… or is it war? "Sovereign Devotion"—a tale of obsession, power, and a love that defies fate itself.
