Katherine Blaire has worked six grueling years to rise to the top of the banking world of Manhattan. Confident, voluptuous, and ambitious, she's nearly within reach of the promotion that will help to finance the college education of her autistic brother. She needs but one account- the account of Anthony Marvin, arguably the most influential and dangerous man in New York. Anthony "Tony" Marvin doesn't just own hotels and nightclubs. He controls both legitimate and underground empires as the heir of the most notorious mafia family in the city. Tony is ruthless, heartbreakingly handsome, and untouchable until Katherine enters his club with the business plan and with an unwavering refusal to back away from him. When Tony offers Katherine something she cannot refuse —a night with him in exchange for the contract —she storms out, humiliated and outraged. But Tony is interested in the woman who had the strength to say no to him, and Katherine finds herself drawn into a dangerous game of power struggle, desire, and growing love. As their relationship grows stronger, Tony's father, the ruthless mafia kingpin Thomas Marvin, will do whatever it takes to eliminate what he sees as his son's greatest weakness. Surrounded by enemies and with Katherine's entire family in danger, she and Tony must decide if their love is worth risking everything — including their lives. In a world in which love is the ultimate vulnerability, can a banker and a mafia prince redefine the rules of power?

Within five minutes of the first time I met Chase Dubois, he fingered me in my Father's receiving room. My mother was five steps away. He shoved a nearby door open and pulled us inside. “Chase Dubois. Are you trying to take advantage of an innocent girl like me?” His amused eyes found mine. “Yes. I very much plan to, little princess.” He was gone as quickly as he came, leaving me disheveled and furious. Only later, when I saw him sitting calmly in his wheelchair, his eyes tired and cold, did I realize the terrifying truth: This is just a game to him! **** Alpha Chase, the rightful Lycan heir, is bound to a wheelchair and a political marriage. Tilly, a dragon princess, is forced to become his bride to save her dwindling kingdom. But the brutal, passionate alpha who visits her at night bears little resemblance to the quiet prince in the wheelchair during the day. As a coup brews and secrets ignite, Tilly must uncover which version of Chase Dubois is real—and which one is using her as a pawn in a deadly game for power.

Moon Young Jae’s homophobic family considered him a disgrace and held his freedom in their clutch. Even with being obedient, he was not free from their abuse. Young Jae was almost blinded and crippled by his father when he stood up for himself for the first time. Left to bleed and die, luckily, he did have a family who wanted to save him. It was twin cousins, who were disowned long before him, who saved him. Sad and hopeless, Young Jae became curious when he met his cousins’ friend, who understood him better than anyone, even without words. Curiosity got the best of him, and he ended by handing his heart, love and soul over a plater as a price. Slowly, Young Jae fell in love with everything about and around Min Jun and eventually fell for the man. Calculative Wang Min Jun entered Young Jae’s life accidentally. He challenged Young Jae's belief with a warm smile and flipped Young Jae’s world upside down. Min Jun read Young Jae like an open book. He planned to get over the little crush he had on his seniors' cousin brother but failed miserably. Min Jun did not like the often-visited ‘frown’ between those beautiful eyebrows and even the always singing of ‘sigh’ through those sinful lips. Min Jun made it his mission to change it only to fall for everything about Young Jae. Wang Min Jun carried his share of baggage, but he was well-prepared to meet the demons from the past head-on. But Young Jae became a mess whenever his past demons decided to pay a visit. He realised he did not have to face anything alone as he has a wonderful boyfriend who cherishes everything about him. Both faced their past demons and trauma together. When a person betrayed by a family fell in love with a person who holds his family above everything, sparks flew, and hearts soared in happiness. Will their story has a harmonious bell, or would it be a sea of misery? Teaser: Files were shattered all over Min Jun’s bed, and his laptop was placed on the bedside table. It chimed once in a while, indicating a new email for him to check. The work was piling more and more as he was diligently finishing it. Young Jae walked into his boyfriend’s bedroom to witness his handsome lover working hard. "Jun Jun! Are you busy?" Even though Young Jae did not want to disturb his lover, he knew he needed some help to impress his boss. "Never for you, love. Tell you what you need?" Min Jun did not lift his head from the file he was going through, but the warmth in his voice reached Young Jae's heart without fail. "Do you have a minute to help me in reviewing my monthly internship report? I have to present to our boss tomorrow morning." Young Jae pouted as he asked. Min Ju looked at his adorable tokki and smiled mischievously. "You are brave, asking your superior to help you sneakily. I can't do it for free. I need a huge bribe to help you. What are you planning to offer?" "Be serious. You have too much work to do." Young Jae chided his shameless boyfriend, who never failed to seize every opportunity to make him moan and groan as he takes him to the pleasurable heaven. "Exactly. I have too much work to do. If I am taking my time to help you, I need something in return. Something so tempting that I don’t mind cramping lots of things later." Min Jun smiled like a devil he was as he grabbed Young Jae towards him. The little rabbit who fell into the cunning wolf's lap did not even get a chance to protest as he was devoured breathlessly. Young Jae forgot why he entered the wolf's lair altogether. Min Jun pushed the files away to make space for his little rabbit to lay down comfortably. Young Jae’s report was long forgotten as a treacherous hand started to caress him again under the shirt as a sinful sound filled the room.

Love. Betrayal. Desire. William’s world is perfect on the surface, but two women will discover just how dangerous it is to hold a heart in the hands of a man who refuses to stop himself.

They think she is just another pretty girl— until she becomes the most dangerous player in the room. In a world where money decides everything, love turns into the most volatile asset of all. Victoria is a student with ruthless ambition and a mind too sharp to remain invisible.

Caught between the cold, merciless Kaiden Starkwell, the cynical strategist Christian Grayson, and Andre Cortland—the heir to an empire—Victoria enters a game where emotions are tools and trust costs more than money. Every step is a risk. Every kiss is part of a transaction. Every decision can cost her freedom… or her life. She must play—seduce, deceive, choose—to survive. But what happens when the game spins out of control, and the heart becomes more vulnerable than any bank account? Dark romance. Elite thriller. Dangerous love— where the winner takes everything, and the loser disappears.

When the prayers stopped coming, I didn’t rage or cry, I just sighed, packed up my divine utensils, and shut the temple doors. If mortals didn’t want blessings born from food anymore, fine. They could starve, or worse, learn to cook for themselves. So I left the heavens behind. I just wanted peace. And somehow, that search for silence dropped me straight into Orario, the loudest, most chaotic city in existence. Now I own a tiny restaurant wedged between a blacksmith’s forge and a potion shop. The roof leaks when it rains, my stove wheezes like an asthmatic dragon, and my sign creaks every time the wind so much as breathes. But it’s mine. Turns out, my “retirement” didn’t erase my divinity. The Guild’s suspicious. The gods are curious. And I’m out of flour. All I wanted was a quiet life. But apparently, even forgotten goddesses don’t get days off especially when their cooking breaks the balance of Orario. Especially when forgotten goddess has a chance to fall in love

"A bathhouse? " Curious,she crept closer pushing open the intricately carved wooden door just enough to slip. She caught a glimpse of a tall bare back. Water glided down lean muscles disappearing into the depths of the jadepool. Silver white hair cascaded down his back like a waterfall, framing the sharp angles of his shoulders. Her eyes lit up and she gulped, feeling a bit dizzy from the sight. Bai Shou was sure if not for her fox form,she would be all flushed red already. " Tsk ..even Mo Xuan's figure is not as good as .." Her thoughts was interrupted as she felt the world warp around her and....
