Selah Fierce understands control. She's built her world on it. Jude McPhearson understands something else entirely. And he's about to bring it to her door. When a quiet connection forms between them, it feels effortless-natural, even. But beneath the surface, something is already shifting. Conversations change. People move differently. And the structure Selah trusts begins to bend in ways she can't quite name. As personal connection collides with professional reality, both of them are forced to navigate a space where nothing is as clear as it seems-and where every choice carries weight. Because in the end, it isn't just about who is right. It's about what you're willing to see...and what you refuse to.

(WARNING: R+!9 Contents) In a world torn apart by the undead, survival is no longer about just staying alive. It’s about who you’re willing to trust, what you’re willing to give up, and how far you’ll go to feel something human again. Iyisha Clarke, a young doctor with more instinct than experience, crosses paths with Malcolm Briggs, a former Navy SEAL carrying wounds deeper than just the physical. They didn’t plan to travel together, much less depend on each other. But between dodging zombies, stolen kisses, and broken boundaries, their connection becomes harder to ignore. Supplies are scarce, safe zones are shady, and sex in a zombie apocalyptic world is messier than it sounds. Some people are trying to rebuild. Others are just trying to breathe. And somewhere between a dying government and whispered hope, Iyisha and Malcolm might find more than just survival. They might find a reason to live.

In the cutthroat world of Seoul’s elite, Min Yoona and Ji-Hoon are more than just teenagers. He is the "Iron Ace" of the Shinsegae dynasty—the youngest CEO in the country’s history, a boy whose mere presence makes the most powerful men in the room involuntarily bow their heads. She is the "Silk Blade" of the Ghost Group—a lethal beauty who cuts through corporate opposition with a grace that hides her deadly intent. But behind the luxury penthouse doors lies a secret no one knows. No one sees the tragic, blood-stained past that forged them into weapons, or the silent war they are waging against the very families that claim to own them. Now, trapped together in a shared life they didn't choose, these two elite teenagers must face a new kind of danger. Will they finally allow someone to enter their guarded hearts? Or will they simply use each other as shields before walking their separate, lonely paths?

“You look like a cursed, weak, and forgotten son of Drakonia.” Ero gasped audibly. “My lady!” He moved to speak again, but Ashen raised a hand and stopped him. “Coming from someone who can’t see,” Ashen said dryly, “don’t you think that’s quite the overestimation?” Lumina smiled, then moved closer to him. Ashen stiffened at her action. She shouldn't have known exactly where he stood, yet her steps brought her directly before him. “I am blind,” she said quietly, “but I am not weak or stupid. Let’s make a deal.” Ashen’s eyes narrowed. “What kind of deal?” “Two years,” she said, her voice unwavering. “You help me find the one person who can restore my sight… and in return, I will help you gain recognition in this realm.” ******** Blinded, by her late mother so as to protect her from the evil ones, she lives the life of an outcast and is underestimated. Princess Lumina hides dangerous secrets behind her calm grace. In the shadows of court betrayal, she’s forced to outwit her enemies, even if it's her own family. While across the realm, Ashen, the cursed prince of Drakonis, drinks to forget a life of disdain and is also known as the weak one. But when a mysterious girl brushes past him, unseen something inside him awakens. A heartbeat that isn’t his, it’s the first time this is happening, he wants her and he must get her.

Arnav Singh Raizada built empires, crushed competitors, and never let anything slip past his control. Until one ordinary afternoon, when a quiet, stubborn girl walked into his world—and something inside him snapped into focus. Khushi Kumari Gupta is not looking for danger. She only wants a stable job, a predictable life, and enough distance from the chaos she grew up in. But the moment she crosses paths with the man who owns half of Delhi, her life tilts off its axis. What begins as curiosity turns into fixation. Arnav’s rules start breaking one by one. He wants her near. He wants her dependent. And when wanting is not enough—he buys the company she works for just to pull her into his world. Khushi tries to resist the magnetic pull between them, but she is drawn deeper into his intensity. His protectiveness feels dangerous. His coldness feels addictive. And his eyes tell her one truth—he is not letting her go. Somewhere between fear and desire, she falls first. She falls harder. But love changes hunters too. The man who never bent for anyone now finds himself bending for her—obsessing, unraveling, and becoming the one who risks losing everything. In this dark-soft romance, two fates collide. Possession turns into devotion. A predator discovers weakness. And a woman who should have run becomes the only one capable of destroying him… or saving him. When the lines between love and obsession blur, who becomes the real hunter—and who becomes the hunted?

My engagement ended in humiliation. One moment, I was the bride-to-be. Next, my fiancé was slipping a ring onto another woman’s finger—nope, not just anyone, my half-sister! And the whole city watched. So I did the unthinkable. I kissed the one man I was never supposed to touch—his aloof, very hot, useless uncle. Dominic Fletcher. It was supposed to be revenge. A scandal to wipe away my shame. Until he stole my bra and with it, my senses… and my already fragile heart. “Give it back!” I demanded, reaching for my bra, but he only lifted it higher. “I’ll keep this as a memento, Kitten,” he murmured, eyes dark, voice dangerously seductive. But Dominic Fletcher was far from useless. Behind the nonchalant façade was a ruthless power only I had glimpsed. And now, he wants to help me take my revenge— “Marry me, sweetness,” Dominic rasped, gaze sharp as steel. “I’ll make everyone who offended you a foot mat. What do you say?” How could I say no? I’d do anything to make that worthless, piece-of-shit scumbag ex lose sleep for the rest of his life and become his worst nightmare. So I said yes—to his uncle. I became his aunt-in-law. Then I returned, victorious and unbroken. My family pleaded for me to forgive them. My ex-fiancé fell to his knees, clutching my hand. “Let’s start again, Harper,” he begged. “You’re the only one I cherish...”

WARNING :There will be adult scenes such as violence or sexual content. "Love? How foolish. It's all just a lie. There's no such thing as love, and it was created only to make foolish people like you believe." That's what a woman, the daughter of a notorious mafia boss, believed. There was no such thing as love in her dictionary of life, until a man came along and destroyed that dictionary. "Then let me show you something more interesting than love, ginger." Dominic Lawrence, a billionaire and the number one mafia boss in Dormania, fell in love with the daughter of another mafia family, Valeria Scarlett. A woman who had a reputation as the Angel of Death's lover because of her cruelty. Despite that, she was trapped in an arranged marriage with a man she didn't know at all. At least that's what she thought at the time. Because in reality, she had forgotten about him. Despite being constantly rejected, the mafia boss never backed down. He would do anything to get her. "You belong to me, ginger. From the first time I saw you. And if I can't have you, then no one can." -His Arranged Obsession- He chose her long before the contract was signed

Hermi did not volunteer for this marriage. She is a royal bastard, hunted down by a father she has never met, then handed off to a foreign king whose name is whispered like a curse. A perfectly efficient solution for everyone involved. Except Hermi. That foreign king rules a wasteland so barren and forsaken that the six surrounding kingdoms use it as a dumping ground for criminals and exiles. He is rumored to be a tyrant. Every princess sent before her is said to have died within months. Hermi's expectations are, understandably, low. She arrives with exactly one goal: survive long enough to burn her home kingdom to the ground. A modest ambition, all things considered. Survival, however, turns out to be complicated. The land is hostile. Her husband runs cold and scorching in equal measure. The crown on her head feels less like power, and more like a very formal death sentence. Then, somewhere between a wasteland and a husband who wouldn't stop watching her, Hermi awakens something the continent hasn't seen in thousands of years. A magic so ancient and absolute it rewrites the rules of the world. The kind that makes kingdoms nervous. The kind that makes alliances form overnight. Hermi arrived in the wasteland to start a war. She didn't expect to become the reason the entire world has no choice but to declare one against her. — Tags: Dark Romantasy, Morally Grey, Political Intrigue, Kingdom Building, Power Couple, Slow Burn, War, Dragons, Monster Hunt, Magic System, Level Up, Power Growth — Warning: Explicit Gore and Sexual Content

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.”

Annabelle nearly choked on her own saliva at his words. "You are right. I have everything and lack nothing except for one. A wife," he repeated Had Annabelle thought she hadn't heard him before, she certainly did now. "So what's it gonna be?" He asked, tilting his head slightly. "Marry me, and we have a deal.”

"Honesty and politics don’t belong in the same sentence," they say. Celine Yue, a kind-hearted social worker, stepped into politics to help more people. But what she didn’t know… was that her own party would be the one to end her life. After her death, she wakes up in another world as Cyrina Vaeloria, the Elf Princess—right on the day of her arranged marriage to Lucian Aetherion, the cold, mysterious Human Prince and strongest mage alive. A political union to keep two powerful races from tearing each other apart. But this so-called alliance is just a mask. She despises the way other races are trampled beneath noble boots. Cyrina refuses to be a pretty puppet. She dreams of building a new kingdom—where races aren’t divided by power, bloodlines, or magic. To do that, she’ll need power of her own. And lucky her... she just married the most dangerous man in existence. With sharp wit and stubborn grace, Cyrina slowly bends her cold husband to her will— She toys with the ruthless Archmage, tames the untamable… and drags him into a revolution wrapped in royal silk. After all, if you marry the strongest mage alive… you might as well make him yours. ***** excerpt~ Lucian’s voice is like a blade, low and sharp. “Do you even understand what you said in the royal assembly?” Cyrina lifts her chin, unbothered. “I understand perfectly. I said I’ll build a new kingdom—where every race can live together.” His eyes darken. “You don’t know what you’ve sparked. That speech—” he steps closer, “—could ignite a war. You’re underground now, Cyrina. Buried beneath politics you don’t even see coming.” She spins on her heel and waves dismissively. “Ugh. Kaelen Blackthorn, your master is giving me a migraine. Get me out of this castle before I set it on fire.” Kaelen gives a slow, exaggerated bow. “As you wish, my lady.” He takes her hand like the perfect gentleman and leads her toward the door— But Lucian’s voice booms behind them. “Kaelen. Don’t forget who your master is.” Kaelen pauses. Glances back. “I remember, my lord. But as per your standing order… I obey only my lady’s command.” A smirk tugs at his mouth. “Even if it means going against you.” **** Per Golden Ticket = 5 extra chapters
