To my classmates, I’m a clumsy klutz named Elara Ward. I’ve given myself a 90-day deadline to burn it all down The first month is for building a reputation as the girl who couldn't hurt a fly.

She was three days from marrying the wrong man. He walked in and took her anyway. Mara Voss has spent her whole life being careful. Careful enough to survive a pack that never quite claimed her. Careful enough to accept a loveless mating ceremony as her future. Careful enough to ignore the strange, ancient ache in her chest that has no name. Then Caelan Drak Lycan King, ruthless ruler of the Ironveil Mountains walks into her mating ceremony and ends it in four minutes flat. He doesn't apologize. He doesn't explain. He calls her his, and he takes her home. Mara is furious. She is also, infuriatingly, not afraid of him. Inside Ironveil's cold, ancient fortress, the truth begins to surface piece by piece about the mark she's carried since childhood, about the mother she was told died a victim, and about the deal made years ago that made Mara more valuable than anyone ever let her believe. Caelan keeps his distance. He tells himself it's protocol. He's lying. Mara keeps her walls up. She tells herself she refuses to love a man who stole her. She's lying too. But when betrayal arrives wearing a familiar face and the enemy closes in to silence her for good Mara will have to decide who she trusts, what she fights for, and whether the bond pulling her toward a cold-eyed Lycan King is fate's cruelty or the one true thing she's ever been given. He took her to save her. She'll stay to destroy everything that tried to break her. And somewhere in between they'll wreck each other in the best possible way.

He called labor "easy." Now he has to survive it. Billionaire Eric Davis built his empire on control.

Eric opens his eyes in a delivery room-in Eleanor's body, in active labor. Eleanor wakes up in his body-in his mistress's bed, wearing his face, his voice, and the power he used to destroy her. Eleanor has lost her face. But she's gained the perfect weapon. She doesn't just want her money back-she wants to bring his empire down, brick by brick. Revenge is a blade with two edges. To destroy the monster, Eleanor must live inside his skin-without becoming him.

Ready for a messy ride? *** Ren has spent years surviving behind a mask. By night he is known as the most sought-after Omega companion at the Deluxe pleasure house: elegant, mysterious, and untouchable. Clients know his scent, his voice, and the cold charm he uses to keep the world at a safe distance. No one knows who Ren really is. The identity he shows the world is only half the truth, and the secret he protects is powerful enough to destroy the delicate balance between the mainland’s most influential families. Everything begins to unravel after one reckless night with Feng Lang—the volatile Alpha heir feared across the city. One punch. One scandal. One mistake that drags Ren directly into the orbit of four dangerous heirs who rule the underground racing scene and stand at the center of an approaching political storm. Among them is Zhen Long, the calculating mastermind preparing for a ruthless election battle, Shen Yichen, the quiet genius who never loses and Wang Ruiqing, the amiable heir who rejected his family’s empire for a life in law enforcement. While the powerful circle grows suspicious of the mysterious Omega who appeared out of nowhere, Ren struggles to keep his two identities from colliding. Because if the truth about him ever comes to light, it will not only destroy the life he built—it will unravel years of secrets, revenge, and power plays carefully hidden beneath the surface of the mainland’s elite society. And the most dangerous part? Ren may not even know the full truth about himself. In a world where power is everything and secrets are currency, one Omega’s hidden identity could bring an entire empire crashing down. ***
