In the dragon-ruled empire of Vaelthorne, soul-bonds between dragons and their chosen humans are sacred, unbreakable, eternal—until Lyra Embermoor does the impossible and severs hers. Three years ago, she was nothing—a common-born healer's daughter who somehow caught the eye of Prince Daevan Ashenclaw, the Crown Prince and last Crimson Dragon of the royal bloodline. Their bond was legendary, whispered about in every corner of the realm. But when Daevan's calculated political marriage to the Ice Duke's daughter was announced, Lyra learned the brutal truth: she was never his equal. She was his secret, his indulgence, the low-born bond-mate he'd hide in the shadows while he built his empire with a proper bride. So Lyra did what no bonded human in history had done—she walked into the forbidden Obsidian Chasm and used ancient, soul-shattering blood magic to tear their connection apart. The process nearly killed her. The pain carved permanent silver scars across her chest where his mark once burned. But she survived, and she disappeared. Now, Lyra has resurfaced as "The Scarlet Veil," a mysterious black-market enchantress whose illegal modifications of dragon-bonds have made her both legendary and hunted. Wrapped in crimson silk and protected by death-magic wards, she helps desperate bonded humans escape abusive dragons, building an underground network that threatens the empire's entire power structure. Daevan has spent three years in his own hell. The political marriage never happened—he burned the Ice Duke's estate to ash the night Lyra severed their bond, feeling her agony across their dying connection. He's searched every shadow of the empire for her, growing more ruthless, more obsessed, more desperate. His dragon has been slowly going feral without its mate, and the court whispers that the Crown Prince is losing his mind. When a high-profile assassination attempt forces Lyra out of hiding, Daevan finally finds her—and discovers the girl he broke is now a woman who's learned to weaponize everything he taught her. She's powerful, untouchable, and utterly done with him. She rebuilt herself from the ashes of their bond, and she refuses to burn for him again. But Daevan isn't the calculating prince who chose duty over love anymore. He's a man who's lost everything that mattered, and he'll tear down his own empire if that's what it takes to earn her back. When old enemies resurface and the truth behind the empire's dragon-bonds is revealed as a thousand-year conspiracy, Lyra and Daevan are forced into an impossible alliance. He wants redemption. She wants revolution. And the bond they destroyed might be the only thing that can save them both—if it doesn't consume them first. Can a love built on broken promises survive a second chance? Or will the ashes of their past smother any hope for their future?

In a world where power is bought with blood and babies, Dr. Elena Castellano was once a naive virgin bride—sacrificed to secure her bankrupt family's survival through marriage to the ruthless Dominic Voltaire, billionaire by day, mafia king by night. She came to him with trembling hands and foolish hope, believing arranged marriage could bloom into love. Instead, he destroyed her on their wedding night with clinical brutality, treating her body like a transaction. When she discovered her pregnancy, she clung to the delusion that their child might soften his frozen heart. Then she found the contract—black ink on white paper, detailing exactly how her womb had been purchased. Clause 7: "Upon successful live birth of male heir, compensation of $10 million to Castellano family. Maternal rights negotiable." She wasn't his wife. She was livestock. A breeding vessel to produce the "genetically suitable" heir his empire demanded and his bloodline required. Heart shattered but survival instincts screaming, Elena made the impossible choice: she terminated her family's payout, faked a miscarriage during a deliberately staged car accident, and vanished into the night—still pregnant, now utterly alone. Five years later, Dr. Elena Castellano returns to the city as an internationally acclaimed neurosurgeon, breathtaking in her transformation with sharp elegance, lethal competence, and a four-year-old son named Adrian hidden in plain sight. She's no longer the trembling girl Dominic discarded. She's the woman every hospital fights to recruit, every man desires to possess, and every secret he buried now threatens to expose. But Dominic Voltaire doesn't stay buried either. The man who never wanted her now can't stop hunting her. His empire is crumbling from a mysterious neurological epidemic targeting his elite associates—and only Elena possesses the surgical skill to save them. Forced into proximity by crisis and conspiracy, the predator who once consumed her now finds himself the prey, circling a woman who holds his destruction in her scalpel-steady hands. As Dominic slowly uncovers the truth—that the "miscarriage" was a lie, that his son exists, that every cold calculation cost him the only real thing he ever had—Elena must decide: Will she let him crawl back into her life, or will she finally perform the surgery he deserves—cutting him out completely?

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."
