The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover

Evelyn Walters was the perfect heiress, until one reckless night with her father’s greatest enemy ruined everything. Pregnant, disgraced, and cast out of the Walters family, she left with nothing but her unborn child. Years later, she's survived. 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?”

Blackmail and roses

Excerpt... We were too close. I knew we were too close, but neither of us moved. The office was dark except for the glow of our laptops. It was past midnight. We'd been working for hours, building the case, connecting pieces, and somewhere along the way we'd ended up on the same side of the desk. Shoulders almost touching. Close enough that I could smell his cologne "This is a bad idea," I whispered. "I know." "We agreed. Fake engagement. Professional. No complications." "I remember." His eyes dropped to my mouth, lingered there. "Doesn't change the fact that I want to kiss you." My breath caught. "Roman..." "Tell me you don't want it too." His voice was rough, low. "Tell me I'm reading this wrong and I'll move. I'll go back to my side of the desk and we'll pretend this never happened." I should have said it. Should have lied. But I was so tired of lying. "I can't," I whispered. "Can't what?" "Tell you that you're wrong." Something flashed in his eyes, dark and hungry. He leaned in slowly, giving me time to pull away. I didn't. Journalist Amara Reyes has spent sixteen years chasing the truth about her father's death. Heart attack, they said. Case closed. Everyone moved on except Amara. Now someone is watching her every move, roses appear where they shouldn't, messages turn from warnings to threats, and the closer she gets to the truth about what really happened sixteen years ago, the more dangerous everything becomes. Roman Vale is a billionaire CEO who doesn't tolerate loose ends, cold and ruthless, the kind of man who can destroy you with a single phone call. When Amara starts digging into Vale Industries, he sees a problem that needs to be eliminated. But Amara isn't easy to eliminate. When blackmail forces them into a fake engagement, the line between enemies and allies disappears. She needs his resources, he needs her silence, but the deeper they dig, the more they realize their fathers' deaths sixteen years ago weren't coincidences but murders. Two fathers, two deaths, one killer who's been hiding in plain sight for over a decade. The threats are escalating, the stalker is getting bolder, and falling in love might be the most dangerous thing they've ever done because the person who killed their fathers is still watching, still waiting, and won't stop until both of them are dead.

The $10 Million Ransom: Captive of the Dark CEO

“On this stage, you are not a woman. You are a debt to be collected.” Elena Vance was once the crowned jewel of the East Coast, the untouchable "Pearl of Boston." She lived in a world of silk, old money, and the illusion of safety. But that world burned to ashes in a single night. Her father was found dead in a prison cell, her family's empire was seized by the state, and her younger brother’s life now hangs by a thread in a hospital bed she can no longer afford. When the hammer fell at the underground auction, Elena’s fate was sealed. She was sold for a staggering ten million dollars—a price higher than any asset her family ever owned. She expected a monster. She didn't expect Dante Moretti. Five years ago, Dante was the boy from the slums her father took in—the brilliant, silent protégé who followed Elena like a shadow. He was the one who taught her how to dance, the one who looked at her with a hunger that terrified and intoxicated her. But the Vances didn't reward loyalty; they destroyed it. Branded a thief and beaten within an inch of his life, Dante was cast out into the cold. Now, the boy is gone. In his place stands the "King of Ruins," a ruthless CEO who has built his throne on the bones of his enemies. And he has come back for the one thing he was never allowed to have. "I didn't buy you to save you, Elena," Dante whispers, his touch a chilling contrast to the fire in his eyes. "I bought you to watch you break. For every scar your father gave me, I will take a piece of your soul. You are my captive, my plaything, and for the next 365 days, your only master." Locked within Dante’s obsidian manor, Elena is prepared for the cruelty. She is prepared for the submission. But she is not prepared for the truth. As she navigates the lethal corridors of Dante’s world, Elena discovers that the ten million dollars wasn't just a bid of revenge. It was a ransom for a secret she didn't know she carried—a biometric key to a hidden digital vault containing the sins of every powerful family in the country. But Elena Vance is no longer a fragile pearl. In the darkness of captivity, she finds her teeth. She learns to turn Dante’s obsession into her weapon. Between the heated confrontations in the boardroom and the desperate, forbidden nights in his bed, the lines between hatred and desire begin to blur. He wants to ruin her. She wants to reclaim her throne. As a shadow organization emerges to claim the secret Elena holds, the captive and the captor must forge a blood-stained alliance. In a world where trust is a death sentence, they are forced to play a deadly game. Is she the key to his redemption, or the final blow to his destruction? In this war of hearts and power, only one thing is certain: You can’t ransom a soul that has already been sold to the devil.

The General's Daughter: The Mission

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"

The Cat between us

The Cat Between Us Xu Jin, a reckless second-generation young master, runs away from his wealthy family in a burst of stubborn rebellion. Determined to prove he can live independently, he buys an apartment, armed with nothing but confidence, a skateboard, and absolutely zero life skills. Meanwhile, Liang Chen, a gentle literature professor, lives quietly next door with his lively grandmother. Their home is calm, tidy, filled with tea fragrance and old books — the opposite of Xu Jin’s chaotic new life. Their paths collide in a pet shop when both try to buy the same white male kitten. A ridiculous bidding war ends with Xu Jin winning the cat, much to Liang Chen’s frustration. Neither realizes they will soon be neighbors — until moving day brings the shocking discovery that they live separated by only one wall. Xu Jin names the kitten Yunhu, and immediately learns that independence is far harder than imagined. He can’t cook, can’t clean properly, and now has a mischievous cat destroying his apartment. Next door, Liang Chen is endlessly annoyed by mysterious crashes, meows, and the unstoppable chaos leaking through the wall — yet secretly, he finds himself wanting to meet the kitten he cannot touch. As days pass, Xu Jin’s unhealthy eating and exhaustion catch up to him. One night, he collapses near his open doorway, too weak to seek help. Yunhu escapes to the corridor and scratches at Liang Chen’s door, leading the professor to discover the half-conscious Xu Jin on the floor. With his grandmother’s help, Liang Chen rushes the taller, delirious young master to the hospital in the middle of the night. Bound together by a white cat, thin walls, and an unexpected emergency, two very different lives begin to intertwine — setting the stage for slow healing, reluctant companionship, and a relationship neither of them saw coming
