twisted

Worlds apart. Two people from existences so distant they seem to belong to different universes collide. Gowon, a modern Crown Prince wielding absolute power, and Sunmi, a maid who entered the royal court through a mysterious, anonymous recommendation. From the very moment they meet, an inexplicable revulsion takes hold, driving them to loathe one another. Though they wish never to cross paths again, the cruel thread of fate pulls them back together. Lost within the palace, she stumbles into his private study. Hiding in the shadows at the sound of approaching footsteps, she uncovers a terrifying secret harbored by the Crown Prince. Caught between truth and lies, a contractual relationship is forged within that secret—and from it, a dark, crimson love begins to bloom.

"What happens when your one-night stand plans to become your stepdad?" It's been two weeks since that night, but I still can't forget him. It was so enthralling that the thrill stuck to my bones till now. It weighed on my mind like a dumbbell and cost me my concentration. A man so hot... Ah, how could I forget him? I wanted to see him again. I wanted to feel his warmth, his aggressive arms, and the way he smirked ever so often while I moaned like a messed-up recorder underneath him, sounds he seemed to favor. But it was just a fling between two strangers. No strings attached, and no names involved. I thought I would never see him again, until he showed up in my living room with his arms around my mother. And she said, "Ha-Joon, this is Tae-Hyun, my fiancé. We're getting married in a few days, so get ready." My heart stopped for a moment as my world shook. And then he looked at me, his devilish eyes met mine. I gulped. They were those same eyes that had seen too much of me. He remembered me, that was certain. And judging by the way he smirked at me, he wasn't done with me yet. Just how did that handsome, no, how did that hot man suddenly gain the identity of my stepfather? (A curious naive college student who wanted to have sex for the first time took his first dive into danger, only to find out the tiger he slept with was about to become his family) Note: this isn't an incest story so read the auxiliary chapter to know more before coming to your conclusion.

Kira Ashwood was born cursed—wolfless in a world where your wolf defines your worth. She endured the whispers, the mockery, the pity. She survived it all because Garrett Stone, her fated mate and future Alpha, promised her that love transcended power. He swore the mate bond was enough. He lied. The night before their mating ceremony, she found him buried deep in her stepsister Celeste—the pack's golden child with her perfect silver wolf. "You were always just charity," he snarled when caught. "Did you really think I'd bind myself to a wolfless freak forever?" Heartbroken and pregnant, Kira became the perfect scapegoat when the Alpha's gold went missing. Celeste's tearful accusation. Garrett's cold testimony. The pack's eager judgment.

Her power is undeniable. And her Rogue King husband has given her an army. Garrett's perfect life is crumbling. Celeste's betrayals multiply. The pack starves without allies. And the girl he destroyed? She's come to collect every debt in blood.

Jim Oliver is the golden boy of his community—vibrant, well-liked, and the pride of his devout Christian family. Since the age of eleven, Jim has been under the strict tutelage of his father, a pastor at the Grace Covenant Church, grooming him to inherit the same mantle of faith and service. For Jim, the path of righteousness is narrow, clear, and absolute. That clarity vanishes with the arrival of his older cousin, Mauwa Gene. Sent to live with the Olivers while attending a nearby university, Mauwa is a magnetic presence that Jim cannot reconcile with his world. While Jim is friendly to everyone else, he treats Mauwa with a cold, desperate distance. To Jim, Mauwa is a walking paradox: simultaneously attractive and repulsive. The closer Mauwa gets, the more Jim feels the foundations of his religious upbringing tremble. Terrified that this infatuation is a "distraction" that will compromise his soul and his father's expectations, Jim takes drastic measures to silence his heart—including forcing himself into a relationship with a girlfriend he doesn't truly want. Yet, no matter how harshly Jim pushes him away, Mauwa refuses to leave his side. As the tension between them nears a breaking point, Jim is forced to confront a haunting question: Is he running from his cousin, or is he running from a version of himself he was never allowed to meet?

I’m your average girl—well, *was*—who spends most of her days buried in CEO romance novels. Yeah, I know, *so cliche*, right? But hey, we all have our guilty pleasures. So, what about work, you ask? Well, my job made it easy to read the day away as long as I got my tasks done by the end of the day. Sounds perfect, right? Simple, right? Well, that's because I was a librarian. *Past tense.* Why? Because some arrogant, narcissistic jerk gets me fired. Why? Apparently, I didn’t notice him walking up to the counter because I was too busy getting lost in my latest book. Now, you’d think any *normal* person would just tap me on the shoulder and say, “Excuse me.” But no, this guy *decides* to get me fired. Rude? Oh, you bet. But that’s not even the worst part. Oh, no. The real problem started when I decided to get my revenge. That’s when I got tangled up with him… in more ways than one. Now, not only am I working for this narcissistic jerk, but I’m doing it undercover. Why? Because apparently, he has an issue with women working for him... especially when things get *too close* in the sheets. (Yeah, you *get* where this is going.) So, I’m pretending to be a man. Why? Because I need the job. It’s high-paying, and it’s my ticket out of my miserable, *pathetic* life. I mean, revenge is great and all, but I’ve got bills to pay. Money’s my new love, and there’s no way I’m letting some petty rivalry get in the way of it. The tricky part? Balancing my need for cash with the fear of being exposed. I’ve got two huge secrets: one, I’m the woman who shared the sheets with him. And two? I’m a woman, disguised as a man, and praying every day that my cover doesn’t blow. One wrong move, and my entire life—my job, my reputation, my *revenge*—could come crashing down. So, yeah, no pressure. But hey, what’s life without a little drama, right? Right."

In the beautiful city of Eldrida, Angelina "Lina" Johnson finds her passion as a gifted perfumery scout and marketer for the prestigious Aurum Scents. Under the mentorship of its powerful yet principled CEO, Carter Hayes, she believes she has found her perfect place. But Lina's life turns upside down when she draws the gaze of a far more dangerous titan.
