Raven Cruz only wanted answers about her missing brother, Jace, and Jake Flanagan was the only man who knew the truth. But the night she breaks into his home, she finds him bleeding out—right before Cassian Valtar steps from the shadows and traps her in the moment. With her fingerprints forced onto the murder weapon and every exit sealed, Cassian drags her into the ruthless world of the Brotherhood Games, an underground empire where thirty-two racers enter each round and at least one must die. He insists she isn’t a prisoner but a racer—his racer. Cassian is the most merciless of the Brotherhood, a man drowning in secrets: secrets about the Games, about the murder she witnessed, and about why he watches her like she’s the one thing he was never meant to want. Raven is supposed to be another piece on his board, yet the more he tries to use her, the more she becomes his weakness. Now she must outdrive killers, outsmart a Mafia empire, and resist the man pulling her deeper into his world. Because the real danger isn’t the track or the Brotherhood… it’s the spark between her and Cassian Valtar—the devil who ruined her life, and the only one who might save it.

Nadia Voss has spent a decade being the backbone of the Ironstone Pack. She built its defenses, funded its watchtowers, trained its warriors, and raised its heir. She was also, slowly and without anyone noticing, given less and less in return. When the Ashveil Curse claims her, the pack's healer names a cure: the Silver Moon Rite, performed within forty-eight hours. Her Alpha mate, Cassian, gives it instead to Lyra- the adopted sister Nadia herself brought home at seventeen, who has spent the years since taking everything Nadia owned, one piece at a time. Nadia does not scream. She does not fight. She signs every document they put in front of her with a steady hand and a composed face. But in the three days before her death, she moves with the precision of someone who has been planning longer than anyone realized- locking assets behind bloodline seals, registering evidence with neutral-territory law, writing a letter that will be released only when the people who wronged her have begun to relax. She dies alone on the third day. Then the trap begins to close. And fourteen months later, in a neutral-zone legal office, a woman places a document on a desk and begins the process of returning to the life she was owed. Blood and Silver is a story about what strength actually looks like when no one is watching- and what the patient and the precise can build, even at the end.

Melissa thought her life was already complicated—until fate dragged her straight into the world she was never meant to survive. After years of running from a past she barely understands, Melissa unexpectedly finds herself working for Antonio Castello, one of the most powerful and feared mafia lords. What begins as a dangerous job quickly unravels into something far more personal when long-buried truths surface: Melissa is not a stranger to Antonio’s world. She is the woman he was once meant to marry—the woman he believed had died. He ends up marrying her adopted sister. Their lives become entangled in ways neither of them can control. But Melissa isn’t the only one fighting battles beneath the surface. Sunny is caught in an emotional storm she can’t escape. Alejandra, intense and unpredictable, keeps reappearing in her life like a ghost that refuses to stay buried—awakening feelings Sunny doesn’t trust. Meanwhile, Olivia stands on the sidelines, steady and patient, offering a kind of love that is safe but uncertain. Torn between chaos and comfort, Sunny must decide what her heart truly wants before it destroys her. Ariana, on the other hand, steps willingly into danger for love. She marries Roberto Gonzalez—her former boss and a powerful mafia figure—believing she understands the risks. His family welcomes her with open arms, and for a moment, everything feels right. But months into their marriage, Ariana discovers a secret that shakes her foundation: Roberto has a child he never told her about. Now she must question everything—his honesty, their love, and her place in a life built on secrets. At the center of it all is Melissa, holding the threads together while hiding secrets of her own—secrets powerful enough to destroy not only the fragile lives they’ve built, but the dangerous empire they are now a part of.

Arianne Summers was once the most feared woman in the business world—until love became her fatal mistake. Publicly betrayed by her fiancé, her empire stolen in a calculated corporate takeover, Arianne vanished from the spotlight, determined never to return.

On her doorstep stand two scheming four-year-old twins holding a handmade sign: “Marry Our Uncle!” Their uncle, Franz Rochefort, is a world-famous actor reluctantly thrust into the role of CEO after his brother’s death. Overwhelmed, underestimated, and struggling to keep both his company and his family together, Franz needs help—even if he doesn’t know it yet. What begins as a logical, temporary arrangement quickly spirals into chaos as fake dates turn real, old enemies resurface, and two tiny matchmakers launch Operation: Make Uncle and New Aunt Fall in Love. In a world where power is currency and love is a liability, Arianne must choose—revenge against the past, or the unexpected family she never planned to have. A ruthless CEO. A reluctant superstar.

Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

Eva's Pov— "Eyan…" my voice trembled, the words barely escaping my lips. "Are you… Kyel?" He smiled faintly, the warmth I once knew gone from his eyes. "Looks like you found out," he said, his tone light, almost mocking. "Finally. Now I don't have to play this tedious game anymore." My heart thudded painfully. "What are you saying?" He stepped closer, his shadow falling over me. "That's right," he whispered, his voice low and sharp. "I am Kyel..." The word cut through me like a blade. My breath hitched. "No… no, you're lying. You're not my Kyel....you are not my husband." He leaned closer, his eyes cruel. "Then how do I know about the mole just below your right shoulder blade? The one only your husband would ever see?" I froze. He was telling the truth. My lips trembled. "Why… why did you lie to me, Eyan?" "Your Majesty," he snapped suddenly. I blinked. "W-what?" "You are not allowed to call me by name," he said coldly. "Call me what I am. Your Majesty." Tears burned my eyes. "Kyel… please, tell me why. If there's a reason—" "No," he interrupted. "There was no reason." My heart twisted painfully. "What?" "I lied because I wanted to," he said flatly. "I had no reason. And I owe you no explanation." I stared at him in disbelief. "But I'm your wife—" He laughed bitterly. "No. You're not my wife. You're just a woman I shared my bed with." My tears finally fell. "You said you loved me…" His voice turned to ice. "It was all a lie. I—Eyan Lucien Therald—never loved you. Not once." The world spun around me. He turned away, pulled open a drawer, and thrust a parchment toward me. "Sign this." My fingers shook as I took it. "What… is this?" "Divorce papers," he said coldly. "I've already signed. All that's left is your signature." "Divorce…" I whispered, my voice breaking. "Once you sign, we're done," he said. "You'll leave Velmoria and never return." Tears blurred my vision. "What about… our child that I'm carrying?" I stepped closer, my voice shaking. "Don't tell me you don't care about our child, too." He turned. "No. I don't." My heart stopped. "You… don't care?" "You were the one who wanted a child. I never did. But I gave you one. Isn't that enough?" I shook my head, sobbing. "Please, stop… please." "Now sign the papers," he said coldly. "Take the child with you and get out of Velmoria. Never show me that face again." "No. I won't." His voice thundered through the room. "Guards!" The door burst open. "Yes, Your Majesty?" "Take her out of this room," he ordered without looking at me. "Throw her out of the palace—and make sure she never steps foot inside again." I screamed, struggling against the guards' grip. "Eyan! Please—listen to me! Don't do this!" But he didn't turn around. Not once. As the doors slammed shut behind me, I looked at him one last time— and the love I always saw in his eyes… was no longer there. --------------------------------------------------------
