Eighteen-year-old Celeste Everhart is thrown into an impossible situation: marry Tiel Brightwell or watch her family, and herself, fall into abject poverty. Despite being unloved and unwanted, she cannot let that happen. Not when her family has only ever known a life of comfort, and the Everhart Sugar Company is her father’s only legacy. But what happens when the hand that offers her the most comfort is not the hand meant to take hers in marriage? Celeste finds herself drawn to Avond Brightwell, Tiel’s older brother, who is entirely forbidden. Someone who knows better... and yet... Besides, why should she be loyal to Tiel when his heart already belongs to someone else? Someone with magenta eyes and silver hair, a moonlight compared to her black coal. When the shadows of the mafia world calls her to rise as a shark and claim her place, will Celeste survive the treacherous currents… or will she drown instead?

Not your regular billionaire romance She had a son with the most dangerous man in the city. And he can never find out. Four years ago, Aurielle Duval spent one reckless night with a stranger— a night that left her with a little boy who has his impossible blue eyes. She never learned his name.

The man she prayed she would never see again. He doesn’t recognize her— but he watches her, tests her, and claims her as his personal assistant. What Kieran doesn’t know is that Aurielle carries more than his past. She is the erased daughter of the D’Angelo empire— a child they tried to destroy before she ever opened her eyes. And the son she hides? He’s the living proof of a truth that could tear the family apart. When Kieran’s dark, charming cousin Dante returns— obsessed with Aurielle and hungry for power— a dangerous game begins. Love, obsession, and blood collide. And in a family built on lies, the woman they tried to erase may be the one who brings the empire to its knees.

In a world where power is traded through skills, Riven is just a dungeon scavenger—picking through ruins, selling whatever little he finds to survive. The system isn’t built for people like him to rise, and he knows it. Until the day he breaks a skill. Not by using it, but by taking it apart. What he pulls out is useless on its own, but it opens a door no one else can see. With the right pieces and the right base, he can turn ordinary skills into something far more valuable. Riven steps into the underground market, where deals are quiet, profits are high, and mistakes don’t get forgiven. As his modified skills begin to circulate, he starts building influence, and eventually something much bigger—a network that doesn’t just follow the market, but bends it. In a world run by strength, Riven isn’t trying to be the strongest. He’s building something far more dangerous.

Liam transmigrates into the American superhero world, joins S.H.I.E.L.D., and actually tries to play by the rules. Unfortunately, “don’t beat supervillains half to death” is apparently a policy. One over-the-top takedown later, he’s fired for “excessive force” and escorted out with a cardboard box and a pissed-off attitude. And that’s when his system finally kicks in. Villain Achievement: Ten Thousand Times Critical Hit System activated. Translation? Helping bad guys makes him stupidly powerful. He casually helps Sandman slip out of Spider-Man’s grip—boom, reward. Gives Loki just enough backup to smack Thor around—boom, bigger reward. Shields Vulture from S.H.I.E.L.D.’s harassment so the guy can tinker with salvaged Chitauri junk—massive reward. Every time a villain wins, Liam levels the hell up. Black Widow corners him, fuming. “You’re the asshole who helped my sister beat me?” Iron Man kneels in the rubble after getting absolutely wrecked by an absurdly overpowered Whiplash. “That’s… that’s not how physics works.” Meanwhile, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. stares at a classified file in disbelief. “We fired you… and now you’re a senior executive in S.H.I.E.L.D.—why does this say Hydra?” Liam didn’t go evil. He just realized something hilarious. If the heroes won’t appreciate him… the villains sure as hell will.
