family

Arin lives under a control she never chose. Family, marriage, and reputation have become a cage, slowly eroding her from the inside. When an accident nearly takes her life, Arin does not only lose consciousness. She loses the last control she has over her own existence. Rescued by a stranger, Arin is taken away from the world that has long suffocated her. What she does not know is that for the man who saves her, their meeting is no coincidence. That night, Evan never intended to save anyone. He was merely in the wrong place, or perhaps at the only moment that truly mattered. Lying before him is a figure from his past, someone who vanished without explanation, now returned in a fragile state, pursued by the shadows of a powerful family, a suffocating marriage, and truths deliberately buried. Their encounter tears open wounds that never had the chance to heal. Arin returns carrying secrets, trauma, and dangers lurking behind the weight of her family’s name. Evan, meanwhile, is forced to face a choice he never planned to make: allow Arin to fall back into the same destructive cycle, or stand beside her, giving her the space to confront the injustices that once stripped her life away. Because sometimes, love is not about saving someone. It is about giving them the ground to strike back at a world that has been cruel.

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. Five years later, her quiet life is interrupted by an unexpected knock. 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. Two scheming children. And a love story that was never part of the plan. #ceoromance #reversedroles #slowpaced special thanks to @schreient_rui

Anna came to her sister older house only to stay temporarily. Not to fall into the most dangerous kind of beauty she had ever seen. Alaric Devano—husband of Evelyn Seraphina and Lyanna Mirelle’s brother-in-law—was everything forbidden: handsome, cold, immensely wealthy, dominant… and he stared at Anna far too long for a man who was supposed to ignore her. At first, Anna thought it was mere courtesy. But it wasn’t. He noticed every detail about her. How she stood. How she feared. How she tried to keep her distance. And every time they were alone… he forgot that Anna was his sister-in-law. More dangerously? Anna did not resist. She kept coming back—as if something within her called out, demanded, and claimed her. “He’s my sister's husband. I must not fall into his embrace. But obsession always triumphs over reason. And Alaric… never loses.”

“That child is mine. And so are you,” he commanded, his viper-green eyes pinning her in place.

She couldn’t have a child, and her deadbeat husband, Charles, never let her forget it, calling her useless while she worked tirelessly to fund his failed acting career. He didn’t just break her spirit; he shattered her trust by cheating on her with her own sister. Heartbroken, Grace fled to her office late one night, seeking solace at the bottom of a bottle. She wasn’t alone. A beautiful, blond-haired man was there, nursing his own wounds. He never told her his name, but he offered her a night of oblivion. Fueled by whiskey and a desperate need for revenge, she gave in to her darkest desires, pulling the willing stranger into her web. In her drunken haze, she thought, “If my husband can have his fun, then so can I.” She never worried about protection, convinced she was barren. Until a month later, when a positive pregnancy test trembled in her hands. Grace Preston, the ‘barren’ wife, was pregnant. In a single night, the stranger gave her what Charles couldn’t in five years. Now Carlos has made his claim, pulling her into a world of immense power and lethal secrets. Will Grace escape her toxic marriage only to be trapped in this captivating young billionaire’s golden cage? Or is trading one prison for another a mistake that will cost her more than just her heart?

Julia Hale is a beastwoman of unsettling beauty, an emergency room nurse in a large, unforgiving city, and the mother of young twins still too innocent to grasp the cost of silence. Behind her clinical composure and carefully ordered routine, Julia carries the scars of years of domestic violence, relentless humiliation, and a past that has never truly loosened its grip. Separated from Theo Desmond, her charismatic and predatory ex-husband, Julia struggles to build a stable life. She works. She raises her children. She manages her body, her desire, her exhaustion. On the surface, she is moving forward. In reality, she is still surviving. Her trauma does not erupt in screams but in interrupted gestures, intrusive memories, conflicted desire. She is in love with a woman—Stella Vance—a one-sided, silent love never spoken aloud. This attachment becomes a mirror, reflecting both what Julia longs for and what she still cannot claim. Under the Skin of a Beastwoman is neither a revenge story nor a tale of miraculous healing. It is a fragmented, intimate chronicle of a woman learning—slowly, imperfectly—to detach herself from a life built on fear, while trying to offer her children a future she was never given. An R18 urban narrative, visceral and deeply personal, where the body, desire, and memory become battlegrounds for survival and reclamation.

I died a heroic, powerful, male Archmage… so why did I wake up as a sixteen-year-old girl?! Theo’s last memory is of a glorious, failed last stand. His next is a beeping hospital machine—and a terrifyingly handsome guy he’s pretty sure is a demon calling him “princess.” Now, he’s Thea Montrose, youngest daughter of a powerful family in a world run on magi-tech and corporate espionage. Between navigating floating cars, enduring his new mom’s hugs, and figuring out the horrifyingly complex mechanics of using the bathroom, Theo has his hands full. But his new family is hiding secrets, and their rivals play for keeps. Good thing this spoiled heiress’s body now holds the soul of an ancient wizard. They wanted the real Thea back? They’re about to get way more than they bargained for. He failed to save his old world from an apocalypse—now he just might save this one (and finally figure out how this bra works).

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer
