Sold into slavery and trapped in the brutal underworld of London, Livia Valenti is placed on the auction block to be sold to the highest bidder. She makes a desperate choice—to place her fate in the hands of the man who caught her stealing. She does not know his name. She does not know his power. She does not know that he is the king. King Henry rules a great kingdom but nothing has unsettled him quite like the pretty, witty thief he met in a crowded market. A mystery. A temptation he cannot ignore. As their worlds collide in secrecy and desire, Livia is pulled from chains into a life far more dangerous than she could have imagined, far more dangerous than slavery itself. One truth defines their love; A king can have any woman but he cannot marry a slave.

Lyra Chen spent three years as the invisible contract wife of Damian Knight, the Ice King CEO who looked through her like she was part of the furniture. On the day she signs the divorce papers, he doesn’t even look up. Never appear in front of me again. She walks away with nothing. Ready to disappear. Ready to stop being a ghost in someone else’s life. Until the airport. His men surround her. He drags her back. And something inside her cracks. Suddenly, she can hear him. Not his words. The ones underneath. She is mine. I will burn everything before I let her go. But it doesn’t stop with Damian. Within five meters, Lyra hears the darkest secret people hide. The thoughts they would destroy their lives to protect. The shame buried so deep it no longer has a name. And Damian Knight has no idea what she’s become. He thinks he brought back a quiet, obedient wife. Someone he can control. Protect. Keep close without ever explaining why. Instead, he’s trapped himself with the one woman who can hear every sin he’s ever buried. Every obsession. Every moment of guilt. Every thought about her he was never meant to have. Now the question isn’t whether Lyra can escape him. It’s whether she will destroy him with what she knows— or finally give in to the darkness she was never supposed to hear.

The life of the underworld was something Ashley had dreamed of escaping all her life. Born as a bastard from an affair between an underworld kingpin and a prostitute, Ashley was meant to die even before she was born. The only reason she survived was that her father thought she was a boy. From a young age, she understood that if she wanted to survive in this world of violence—on top of her father’s wife and daughter’s schemes—she had to be useful. So, she made herself a promise: one day, she would escape this world. Ashley almost succeeded… until her father found her again and thrust her into a marriage of convenience with his rival, Dominion, in his beloved daughter’s place. Everyone in the underworld knew Dominion. They were cruel, organized, and simply spawns of evil. And the man who stood above that power, Luciano, was said to be downright diabolical. Just their name alone could make anyone tremble. And this organization was where Ashley now had to survive. To make matters worse, the marriage also came with a child — Luciano’s mute heir. Forced to become the wife of one of the most violent and powerful underworld organizations, and the mother of its future leader, Ashley made a vow. “No matter what, I’ll escape this place!” But she would soon realize it wouldn’t be as simple as that. Not when the feared members of Dominion clung to her feet, begging, “Madam, don’t go!” And when the mute stepson finally spoke, “Mommy, if you’re leaving, please take me with you.” Finally, her diabolical, obsessive, and utterly territorial husband said, “I’ve packed our things. Where should we go?” *** Chat with me in Discord! Link: https://discord.gg/AUqYr3hchA Follow me on Instagram - @author_bajj

Sold for scraps.Saved by a monster. Destined to rule them all. Faith is a “Dud”, a wolfless orphan living in the shadows of the trenches. Treated as a servant by her own family, she hides a mind more brilliant than any Alpha’s instinct. But in the process of winning a life-changing scholarship, she is betrayed. Drugged and sold to traffickers by her own aunt, Faith thought her life was over —until she fell from a third-story window and landed on the hood of a car that belonged to the most dangerous man in the country. Killian Nightshade. Billionaire. Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. A man who rules with ice in his veins and power in his hands. Killian doesn't do favors. He makes investments.

Riley Cole was labelled a fool and married off to a crippled man expected to die young, becoming the laughingstock of the entire city. But after the wedding, everything changed. Her parents sneered, “A fool like you has no place at this party.” She arrived dressed to perfection, her voice calm. “Who’s the fool now? I’m the world’s top designer.” Her stepmother mocked, “You’ll never get into the number one college in Leucia.” Riley walked in with ease, a book in hand. “I’m not here to study. I’m a specially appointed lecturer.” They blocked her from the operating room, accusing her of pretending. She lifted her gaze, cold and sharp. “Say one more word, and I’ll shut you up with a single needle.” The fool had risen—and no one could stop her. As the city fell into chaos, people could only turn to one man. “Mr. Yates, please keep your wife in check!” Adrian Yates merely smiled. “I’m afraid… I’ve spoiled her too much.”

With death came a new life. Crystal has always been despised by those around her. But now she’s been given a new world to belong to—one that hides a horrifying truth. Her tragedy was no accident. And this time, she will find answers… and avenge her parents. But perhaps, for the first time, she might also find a home.

She had two choices: watch her family crumble into ruins… or sell herself to the devil. Mia Eleanor thought rock bottom was losing everything her father built. But when she storms into Kael Sebastian’s towering empire to beg for mercy on a crushing debt, the ruthless billionaire offers her a deal straight from hell: Marry him for six months. Become Mrs. Kael Sebastian in public. Play the perfect wife. Then walk away rich. Desperate and furious, Mia signs the contract only to discover the cold, devastatingly handsome tyrant has rules carved in stone: no emotions, no questions, and definitely no touching… unless he says so. Trapped in his luxurious penthouse, Mia quickly realizes Kael isn’t just buying a bride he’s hiding deadly secrets. Why does he have hidden files with her name on them? Why do assassins keep coming for them both? And why does his icy touch set her body on fire even as she plots to destroy him?He swore he’d never lose control. She swore she’d never surrender.

"In her first life, she was a pawn. In this one, she'll be the player." She was destroyed overnight. Accused of corporate fraud. Branded a traitor. Watched by the entire city as her reputation collapsed beneath flashing cameras and ruthless headlines. The evidence came from Knox Global. From the empire ruled by Adrian Knox — the most untouchable CEO in the industry. Her fiancé. He never publicly defended her. But he never looked away either. When she opens her eyes, she’s back one year before the scandal. Before the forged documents. Before the boardroom betrayal. Before her name became a headline. This time, Elara Vale remembers everything. The directors who switched sides too easily. The investigation that moved too quickly. The silence that felt more deliberate than guilt. Was Adrian Knox the architect of her destruction— Or the only one fighting a war she never saw? She won't beg. She won't break. Because in a world built on secrets-- Love is either your greatest weakness... Or your sharpest weapon. As she steps back into a world of billion-dollar deals and silent corporate battles, one thing is certain: She won’t be the pawn again. And this time, she’s watching him too.

In the shadows of criminals, the truth is also a lie

Vivian Vale woke up in a hospital bed without any memory of the past five years of her life. She doesn't remember being married. She doesn't remember being the woman who loved a man even when he stopped deserving her. She doesn't remember abandoning her company, her dreams, and everything she built — all for Nathan Cayne. Nathan Cayne may be the most powerful man in the country but he can keep his regret. She has a company to rebuild, a family to protect, and absolutely no time for a man crawling back to a love she can't even remember. But he's everywhere. When Nathan let her go, he told himself that women like Vivian always come back. Except she didn't. She signed the divorce papers without blinking, called him Mr. Cayne, and never looked back once. She doesn't remember ever loving him. And he is terrified she never will. He let her go once without a second thought. Now he would burn everything down just to make her remember. But one question remains: If the amnesia was just an accident, why does someone desperately need her to never remember?

Being transmigrated wasn't in Reis's bucket list. Being so in an unpredictable world with danger lurking everywhere? Not even in his nightmare journal. So he definitely isn't thrilled when his soul is literally dragged out into a void and forced into a foreign body. Or about the blue screen of doom, trying to convince him that everything was exactly how it was supposed to be. Like hell it was right for him to be in line for the throne. Surely, Reis had run out of luck. But that didn't mean he was foolish enough to play hero. No. Why must he sacrifice his peace for something so foolish? Reis just had to wait. Until the royal family let their guard down, and he had enough money to escape far away. Just enough to escape heaven's eyes. And someone promised to help. Someone who didn't even know how to hold a human right side up. The fearsome guardian, who, for some reason, picked the weakest human to bother. It cost Reis half his mortal soul and a bit more, but what can he do? Escaping the throne is more important than dignity. Once the trouble's off his shoulder, he'd find a peaceful land to settle in and spend the rest of his mortal life lazing away. The perfect escape plan. But how is he supposed to escape from this so-called guardian again, at least before losing himself entirely? Well, not anytime soon. *** Antihero, bitter MC X Villainous, transcend level ML.

My husband thought I was his doormat Luna until I became his ruin. … I was the Goldbane heiress. Gideon Vexwood was the lowborn wolf I married for love. I thought we were building a kingdom; I didn’t realize he was building my coffin. In one night, my world shattered. A tragic accident claimed my father’s life and stole my unborn child, leaving my body permanently broken. With the Pack Council threatening to strip my title unless I produce an heir, I was forced into a desperate gamble. I trusted my husband. I trusted my loyal maid. Together, we struck a secret surrogate deal to save the Goldbane’s right to the Alpha seat. I thought it was our salvation. I didn't know it was a trap. While I drowned in grief, Gideon and his mistress were celebrating my downfall, manipulating the very contracts meant to save me to turn me into a servant in my own home. They called it strategy. I called it war. For seven years, I played the victim. I endured their cruelty, letting them think they’d won while I forged a secret alliance with the only man they truly fear: Jarek Ashthorne. The infamous Rogue King. A man who rules the underworld with an iron fist and holds a debt to my father that he has never forgotten. He was supposed to be my weapon of revenge. I didn't expect him to be my salvation. Now, as the secrets of that fatal night emerge, the long game is finally over. They took my child. They stole my life. Now, I’m coming for their crowns. ____ Jarek hauled me forward until my chest collided with the rigid planes of his torso. “You have no idea, Elowen. Everything about you... every tear you shed for a man who doesn't deserve you… It’s all my business.” I shivered, but I clamped down on the sensation instantly. “Get your hands off me! I know what you’re doing. I’ve heard the stories, Jarek. Stay away from my marriage, stay away from my pack. And you better stay away from my life!” Yet, he pressed his face into the crook of my neck, inhaling deeply. “Is that what you call it, Elowen? I call it a wake-up call. But if you’d rather go back to your ‘Alpha’ and pretend that the walls aren’t closing in, be my guest.”

In the era of the Old World, there walked women who did not merely cast magic. They were the weavers of Black Magic, or in more common terms — Witches. For thousands of years, the world has been barren of them, for a Witch is not born. She is wrought. The scholars of the Old World claimed three conditions unlock this power: First, there must be the Drowning of the Heart. The woman must be driven past the breaking point of human sorrow. Grief must become the water that drowns her humanity. Second, there must be the Sharpening of the Will. Hate must become the steel of her spine. She must choose not to weep, but to burn. Third, and most rare, there must be the Anchor of the Beast. A Witch without a tether is but a storm that consumes itself. She requires a Devotion that rivals her own — a Dragon who would trade his divinity to stand in the shadow of her thorns. When these three tides collide, the Mage dies, and the Witch awakens. It is said that when the Witch returns, the mountains will breathe again. The dead woods will scream, and the kingdoms of men will be reclaimed by a garden that never sleeps. — Warning: Dark Themes, Explicit Gore and Sexual Content — Tags: Dark Romance, Slow Burn, Fantasy, Morally Grey, Political Intrigue, Kingdom Building, War, Dragons, Monster Hunt, Magic System, Level Up, Power Growth

[Warning: Mature content | Dark romance] Excerpt: “I warned you, didn’t I, Aliana?” His deep, masculine voice reverberated through the air like silk. Her name rolled off his sinful lips so seductively that it made her want to roll her eyes in reluctant delight. That thought alone made her brows knit in confusion until she heard him continue, “You step into my world, and I will ruin you in ways you never imagined.” Aliana shivered, not only at the warning he had given her far too many times, but also at the way his icy blue eyes pierced her so intensely that it felt as though she might burn and freeze all at once. Yet here she was….alone, standing in his mansion, dimly lit with only the glow of the burning fireplace casting shadows across one side of his gorgeous face. Thunder rolled outside, followed by the onslaught of heavy rain pelting against the massive floor-to-ceiling, black-panelled windows. Ignoring her thrumming heartbeat, she drew in a sharp breath and replied, “You did… but didn’t I say there is nothing I love more than a challenge? If you’re going to ruin me, Gavriel, at least make sure you’re the only one left standing when the dust settles.” His eyes widened ever so slightly before he rose from his armchair and padded across the carpet to stand right before her. The moment his fingers lifted to touch her chin, a jolt of electricity shot down her spine as he leaned in and said, “You want to play a dangerous game, Aliana…. and make no mistake, this devil loves to play.” Tilting her chin closer to his face, he whispered, “So here’s my offer, Aliana…. marry me.” .... The book cover is mine, don't use it.

Aurelia Vance didn’t come to beg. She came to break. Because by midnight, her family will be ruined—and the only man who can stop it is the one she once swore never to face again. Kael Draven. A name whispered in fear. A man who doesn’t forgive. A predator who always collects his debts. He listens to her desperation in silence… then slides a contract across the table. “Sign it,” he says. “And you belong to me.” Not for a night. Not for a favor. Six months of marriage. Total obedience. No escape. In public, she wears his ring. In private, she learns exactly how dangerous he is. Because Kael doesn’t just want control— He wants possession. Every glance burns. Every touch lingers too long. Every rule tightens like a chain around her throat. And the worst part? Aurelia can’t tell where the contract ends… and where his obsession begins. But Kael didn’t choose her out of convenience. He chose her because he remembers. Because years ago, Aurelia Vance took something from him. And now— He’s going to take everything back. Her freedom. Her defiance. Her heart. Piece by piece. In a world where power is worshipped and love is a weapon… Aurelia didn’t just sell herself to save her family— She sold herself to a man who plans to own her… and ruin her.
