Dating My Irresistible Brother In Law

Jinhai brushed a stray strand of hair from her face, his fingers trembling. “Lily,” he whispered, desperately. “I want you.” Her body betrayed her, arching toward him even as her mind screamed no. “Jinhai…” she breathed, barely above a whisper. “We can’t.” He gave a small, almost broken laugh. “Then tell me you dont want this.” But she didn’t. Her silence was his permission. Jinhai cupped her face, his thumb brushing the corner of her mouth, his eyes drinking her in with such intensity that Lily squirmed in bed. “Do you even know what you do to me?” he murmured. “I’ve tried to forget you, Lily. God knows I’ve tried. But every time I see you—every time you look at me with those eyes— I forget everything.” His hand slid up her camisole, cupping her breast, his hands shaking. “Jinhai…” she whispered again, her voice trembling this time—from the sheer force of wanting. This had been the moment she had been dreaming about for a shameful, achingly long time. Deep down, she already knew. She was falling for the one man she could never have. ---------------------------- "It was just for show... until he kissed me like he meant it." Lily Liang has always been the Liang family’s dirty secret—an illegitimate daughter used as a pawn. When she’s forced into an engagement with the elusive ghost heir of the Shulong empire, Lihyun Shulong, it’s just another gilded cage. But Jinhai Shulong, Lihyun’s brother has other plans. Knowing his brother's love for another woman and to save his brother from a loveless marriage, he strikes a dangerous deal with Lily: fake a romance, ruin the wedding, walk away clean. To go against what their parents had decided. It’s supposed to be business. Nothing more. Until every stolen glance and staged touch feels achingly real. Jinhai can’t stop craving the very woman he’s sworn to use, and Lily can’t tell where the lie ends and the truth begins. If Jinhai gives in, he risks betraying his own brother and destroying them both. But if he walks away, he’ll lose the only woman he’s ever wanted—straight into his brother’s arms.

Her Name Awakens a Slumbering Fate

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYSNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.

The Violence of Glass

The Merger or the Grave. Akarat Group and Sutthi Corp have spent a decade trying to bleed each other dry. But when their shared benefactor a dying billionaire with his hand on their debt issues a final ultimatum, the war moves from the boardroom to a secluded glass estate. The terms are simple: successfully merge the empires in six months, or lose everything. The catch? Phin and Kavin must live, breathe, and work together in total isolation. No staff. No escapes. Just the "Untouchable" and the "Storm" trapped in a house where every wall is transparent. The Mask of Malice. For Phin, silence is a weapon and his three-piece suit is a shield against a world that raised him to be a machine. For Kavin, the merger is a chance to finally break the man he has spent ten years obsessing over. But as the forced proximity peels back their corporate veneers, the "hate" they nurtured since university is revealed for what it truly is: a starving, primal hunger that threatens to consume them both. The Price of Power. While Phin’s lawyer and Kavin’s brother conduct a frantic, secret affair in their shadows, a far more dangerous predator looms. Madam Wei, a puppet master with a vendetta, begins pulling the threads of Phin’s traumatic past to ensure the merger and the men shatter. As the lines between dominance and surrender blur, the two Alphas realize that winning the business means nothing if they lose the only person who understands the crushing weight of the crown. In a house of glass, there are no secrets and the truth might just be the most violent thing of all.

CHAINED IN THE MAFIA HELL'S WATCH

I, Nate Cole, Captain of CSI, am damn fucking good at my job. I followed the law, trusted the evidence, and never let anyone distract me… not even the criminals I locked behind bars. Until Adrian Blackwood was forced back into my life, the dark, ruthless, devastatingly handsome Mafia Boss serving a twenty‑year sentence at Hell’s Watch, the city’s most notorious high‑security prison. A fortress built to cage mafia lords, serial offenders, and corrupt officials, and a place where even the guards whispered about inmates who ruled empires from behind steel bars. And he was exactly the kind of man I was raised to despise. “You’re the one who came to me, Nate Cole… what makes you think I’ll cooperate with you or that you can resist me?” His gray eyes smoldered, daring me to look away. I leaned back, meeting his gaze evenly. “Resist you? Please. You’re a bastard behind bars. I don’t do fantasies… and I don’t entertain criminals.” He smirked, stepping closer, voice low and teasing. “Criminals, maybe… but you look like someone who enjoys losing control, and I bet, I can make you beg.” He was the key to a case I couldn’t solve without him, and every glance, every word, every brush of his presence set my pulse racing. His control was intoxicating, and his power is undeniable. “I will break you beautifully, completely, and only into mine,” he whispered, a dangerous promise that shattered every rational thought in my head as the sizzling chemistry and attraction rose between us. I was supposed to stay professional, fucking resist, but some chains weren’t meant to be broken… and some temptations weren’t meant to be denied. Adrian Blackwood was my enemy, and falling for him might have been the most dangerous, most thrilling crime I’d ever committed. I had no idea which one of us was going to survive the darkness… me or him or the fucking world was going to burn.
