On her eighteenth birthday, Aria Vale longed for one thing: freedom. Raised as an orphan and servant in the Silvercrest Pack, she dreamed that the Moon Goddess would grant her a mate who would love her despite her scars and status. But destiny is cruel. Her mate is Alpha Kael Draven, the very man she has served all her life, and he is already bethroted to someone else. His public rejection brands her as worthless, and his punishment is severe: she is cast out and sold to the feared Alpha of the Nightshade Pack, a man said to be cursed by the gods. Alpha Raine Blackthorn wants nothing to do with love or Luna bonds. Every woman who has ever loved a Blackthorn has died, victims of an ancient blood curse. To him, Aria is just a tool: a breeder to produce an heir and secure the future of his dying pack. But when Raine’s darkness meets Aria’s fragile light, forbidden feelings start to emerge. Her presence stirs his humanity—and something more. As Aria’s dormant wolf begins to awaken, secrets from both their pasts come to light. The curse is not what it seems, and breaking it may require a sacrifice that neither can endure. In a world filled with power, betrayal, and blood, love might be the most dangerous curse of all.

"I beg your pardon. I should not have come. I did not mean to be a bother.” He stepped aside, extending a subtle invite. “But that is the problem.

Mu Chen lands a spot on a top-notch special ops team at this super high-tech military base, where honestly, everyone's watched like they're just another piece of equipment, guides and sentinels alike. Officially, he's supposedly a weak, late bloomer guide, brought in because they're short on people and the higher-ups are hoping to collect some new intel. But the real deal? He's secretly packing some serious power that, if anyone found out, would land him locked up, cut open for study, or stuck with them forever. The team's field leader is Ye Fan, a legendary A-tier sentinel who's got a reputation for being incredibly tough to control and having practically zero compatibility with guides. He's not exactly thrilled about Mu Chen joining, thinks the timing of the transfer is sketchy, and gets a weird vibe from him – too quiet, too polished, like a signal that just won't decode. Mu Chen keeps a low profile, playing the part of a harmless newbie while he figures out all the team's protocols: how to get permission to link up, compatibility ratings, and surveillance that even digs into their private thoughts. As the missions get more intense and the system gets more suffocating, Mu Chen ends up saving people over and over in ways that just look like sheer luck or skill. Except Ye Fan can sense the truth behind it every single time, like a wave of relief he never expected. Their connection builds under the intense pressure of the unit: stolen moments of kindness between missions, silent acts of protection, and a spark that gets seriously risky because it's totally off-limits. The more the institute tries to keep them in check, the more Mu Chen has to gamble with exposing his true self. And the more Ye Fan has to figure out if he'll stick to the rules of the system that made him, or torch the whole thing to keep Mu Chen safe.

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

Prince Aidyn of Embermoore wants nothing more than to be treated as a regular person instead of a prince, and experience “normal person things,” like getting called by his first name, being a professional yet approachable boss, and eventually falling in love. Mage Noelle Allendale, Aidyn’s co-worker and long time friend, never wants to fall in love again. She knows all too well that falling things tend to shatter when they hit the ground. As a Memorizer Mage, the crystal clear Recall of her magic doesn’t let her forget anything she feels or encounters, and she’s already experienced enough heartbreak to last a lifetime. As a result, she’s more than happy to keep their relationship professional. Plans change, however, when a magical emergency puts Aidyn’s life unexpectedly in Noelle’s hands. In order to keep him alive, the two friends decide to break the rules and form an unsanctioned Love Bond. Can this reluctant royal and overwhelmed Memorizer Mage find a way to move towards a future where they both thrive, or will unhealed wounds—from the past and present—tear them apart? * Read if you love: sweet, slow-burn, Friends-to-Lovers fantasy romance stories with multiple POVs, where she saves the prince but he falls first! _____________________________________________________________________________________ The Mage Bonds of Embermoore is one story told in six parts. Each part is structured to follow the general process of healing from trauma (as I have experienced it): Crisis, Aftermath, Changing Direction, Mending, New Foundations, and Rebuilding. When we experience something traumatic in our lives, our world shrinks down to the bare essentials so that we can focus on survival. The more we heal, the more our world opens up again. I’ve written this book in the same way. Each part builds off of each other, allowing you to experience the characters and world of the story expand and grow. _____________________________________________________________________________________ New chapters posted Wednesdays and Sundays!

When a chance encounter at the border brings him face-to-face with a vampire woman, instincts clash with honor, and forbidden tension ignites where loyalty and survival are everything. As the wolf within fights to assert control and ancient grudges threaten to erupt, every decision carries deadly consequences. In a world of claws, fangs, and fragile peace, the Ninth Alpha must navigate inheritance, danger, and desire—and decide which battles are worth fighting when all eyes are watching.

Rachel, the quiet, invisible nerd, had never expected a jock like Jack to show up at the party. She'd invited him as a joke, half-hoping he'd laugh at her, make a snide remark, and leave.

Jack doesn’t show up the next day as expected—he goes missing. Days later, Rachel sees Jack again, but he’s now a ghost who doesn’t realize he’s dead. Together, they embark on an adventure to uncover the truth behind Jack’s death and find his body. Along the way, they develop an unexpected bond, and Rachel’s psychic abilities grow as they unravel dark secrets about that night.

What I wasn’t told? While this is a very different life, some people from my old world are still making my life hell in this one. And now, they might have fangs, mind powers, or claws.

The last thing he expected was that one kiss with a stranger would turn his world upside down. Jun-Ho was cold, dangerous, a mafia heir and scarred by a past that made him reject any kind of touch.

Winter drapes the city of Sapporo in silence—snow on rooftops, frost on windows, and secrets beneath every breath of cold air. It is in this frozen landscape that two lives on opposite ends of the city begin to move toward each other. Ichika Komori lives a life built on elegance and expectations. Surrounded by luxury and perfection, she is admired like a snow sculpture—beautiful, delicate, and cold to the touch. Her heart, long protected by ice, has forgotten what warmth feels like. Across the city, Rikuu Arakawa survives a world far less forgiving. Raised by hardship and night fights in back alleys, his emotions burn hot—anger, loyalty, fear, and a past that left its mark. The fire inside him keeps him alive, yet also threatens to consume him. When their paths cross, something impossible begins: Rikuu becomes the spark that melts the frost around Ichika’s guarded heart—and Ichika becomes the snow that cools the burning storms inside Rikuu. Their worlds should never have met. Yet winter has a way of changing everything. The Winter That Burned is a story of unlikely connection, slow and inevitable as falling snow, where fire learns to soften, and ice discovers how to feel again.

Who knew disobeying your parents could destroy your entire life in just one night. It all started with one small act of rebellion… sneaking out. One night Evelyn should have stayed home. One moment where she didn’t listen. By morning, her brother was missing. Her dad was gone. And whatever innocence Eve had left disappeared without leaving a trace. No matter how hard she tries, she can’t stop blaming herself. If she hadn’t wanted more, none of that would’ve happened. Now Evelyn lives in a house that doesn’t feel like home.
