It is impossible for a police officer to fall in love with a criminal. That’s what Riley believed. That’s what she was trained to believe. Riley Knox goes undercover knowing exactly what she’s walking into. A powerful CEO. A spotless public image. And rumours of ties to an organisation that has ruined lives and vanished without a trace. Her job is simple: observe, listen, gather proof, and get out. No attachments. No mistakes. But nothing stays simple for long. The more time Riley spends around Nathaniel, the harder it becomes to separate the role she’s playing from the feelings she’s trying to ignore. He isn’t what she expected. He’s careful, quiet and controlled. And somehow, in the middle of lies and half-truths, something real begins to grow between them. Then there’s Melanie. She isn’t part of the investigation, but she becomes impossible to overlook. A child caught between distance and discipline, acting out because it’s the only way to be seen. Loving too loudly in a house that doesn’t know how to love gently. Riley never meant to care, but caring happens anyway. All three of them are struggling in their own way. Riley with the weight of her duty. Nathaniel with the secrets he refuses to let go of. Melanie with emotions she doesn’t yet know how to name. Somehow, without meaning to, they begin to lean on one another. Not perfectly. Not safely. But honestly. And that’s where everything starts to fall apart. Because love built on secrets doesn’t stay hidden forever. And when the truth finally comes out, Riley will have to choose between the badge she swore to honour and the people she never planned to love. The question is not whether love can survive danger. It’s whether anyone walks away from it unbroken.

WARNING: DARK THEMES, OBSESSION, AND MORALLY DARK CHARACTERS. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you can’t stomach unhinged men, manipulation, and a female lead who learns to weaponize her pain—turn back now. WSA SUPPORT. In the sprawling beast-realm galaxies, a woman's power means nothing without a womb that bears fruit. Status, strength, supernatural gifts—all rendered worthless against the singular measure of fertility. Jinx, a descendant from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan learned this lesson in blood and betrayal. For years, she loved blindly. Her werewolf husband, Fenris, repaid that devotion with public humiliation, poisoned meals designed to keep her weak and barren, and a parade of mistresses who laughed at the "broken fox" he kept chained through manipulation. When an "accident" finally claimed her life, Jinx died with his mocking laughter still echoing in her ears. Death, however, wasn't finished with her. She claws her way back from the void, but she doesn't return alone. Bonded to a mysterious system that grants her abilities beyond anything the beast realms have witnessed, Jinx rises—wearing the mask of the fool everyone already believes her to be. Let them underestimate her. Let them see only the barren, broken woman they discarded. They won't see the blade until it's already at their throats. As Jinx dismantles her enemies piece by piece—ruining fortunes, exposing secrets, and watching the mighty crumble—she encounters something she never anticipated: Flynn. A beast lord with eyes that don’t look at her with pity...but hunger. The moment he saw her, he wanted her. Not gently. Not patiently. Completely. And Flynn is not a man who accepts denial. He offers help… but nothing about him feels safe. He’s dangerous. Unpredictable. Possibly just another predator wearing a better mask. Or worse— Someone real. In his unhinged charcater, she think he is another predator in clever disguise? Caught between vengeance and vulnerability, Jinx must navigate deadly politics, unlikely alliances, and the terrifying possibility that not every man deserves her wrath. Burn the world… Or risk her heart in the hands of a man who might ruin her even more completely than the last. But one thing remains certain: those who made her suffer will pay the terrible price.

Reader discretion is advised. — “Is there no other way?” I asked, totally subdued by the fact that this nightmare marriage was the only solution. “No, there isn’t,” he said coldly. “I can’t afford to lose my son and have you turned into a sex slave by the Romanovs.” “Your son?” I scoffed, the memory of him taking my virginity and vanishing without a trace slicing my heart. “You seem to have forgotten that you never intended on taking things further with me. God, you’re no different from the Romanovs!” He assessed me coolly with those dark eyes and then said with a note of finality, “He’s my son, Niamh, and you’ll have to become my wife.” My father was killed. My uncle sold me to the Russian mafia syndicate. And now, the man I hid my son from for five years—Massimo Valentino—is forcing me to be his wife. My survival and the safety of Matteo depend on this hated forced marriage. But the situation is worse than I thought: I am the key to a hidden vault that the Texas underworld is willing to kill for. With the war raging outside and a major betrayal brewing inside the Italian mafia syndicate, my safety depends entirely on Massimo. I have to forgive and trust the man who ruined me, or lose everything. This is the first installment in The Valentino Princes Series.

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

What do you do when the dead won't leave you alone — and neither will the king who consumes souls? Clara Peri has never known a quiet life. Since childhood, the dead have found her — whispering, pleading, showing her the things no living person bothered to witness. She has learned to carry their secrets carefully. She has learned to ask for nothing. She has learned, above all else, to make herself invisible. When the hundred-year peace treaty between the human kingdom and the demon world comes due, Clara is stripped of everything she has ever known and sent across a dark sea as a sacrifice to Azkiel — the Demon King who survives by consuming the souls of the living. He expects a sacrifice. Clara strikes a bargain: she will use her ability to speak with the dead and help Azkiel uncover the truth behind his mother's mysterious death. In return, he will stop killing the innocent. It should be simple. But it's not. Because the deeper they dig into the darkness of his mother's past, the more dangerous the truth becomes — and somewhere between the dead and the demon, the lines Clara drew to keep herself safe begin to blur. Now she must survive a demon world, a king who obsessively unsettles her more than any ghost ever has, and a secret that was buried for a reason. Some debts are paid in blood. Some are paid in something far more costly.
