Beside the Throne

Crown Prince Gu Lian was born brilliant—admired by all, his path seemingly carved in stone: ascend the throne and protect the realm. With a loyal general, A Lie; a peerless strategist, Ai Miao; and a fiancée hailed as the capital’s most beautiful woman, he was the perfect heir in the eyes of the world. At age ten, the arrival of Murong Che, a hostage prince from a neighboring kingdom, disrupted the calm like a stone cast into still waters. Gu Lian quickly noticed that Ai Miao, his deep-thinking advisor, paid this heterochromatic youth an unusual amount of attention. To Ai Miao, Murong Che was a flawless “creation”—a vessel to mold, a key piece in a bloodless conquest. But when Gu Lian realized his dreams were haunted not by his fiancée, but by Ai Miao, his life veered off course. On a stormy night at fifteen, stripped of pride, he begged: “I need your love, Ai Miao! I want your mind—so full of empire and ambition—to hold space for me, Gu Lian!” The Emperor and Empress, alarmed by the prince’s dependence and forbidden affection, issued a secret decree. Under the guise of “greater ambition,” Ai Miao was exiled to a foreign land, leaving behind a cruel misunderstanding: a silent departure that shattered Gu Lian’s heart. Five years later, Ai Miao returned triumphant. The prince he had mentored now sat as a puppet monarch; the neighboring kingdom was all but dissolved. But what awaited him was Gu Lian’s frozen hatred, the imperial couple’s silent threats, a scandalous trap of seduction—and a chasm between them that seemed impossible to cross. Misunderstandings, schemes, jealousy, and the weight of duty loomed large. Gu Lian was forged into a blade by pain; Ai Miao clung to his original vow in silence. Until an unexpected aphrodisiac incident ignited everything—burning away their masks. In the collision of desire and truth, they confirmed with their bodies the loyalty and longing that had never faded. “I’ll be your bedmate,” the once-proud prince whispered, stripped of all dignity, eyes burning with obsession. “Just don’t touch anyone else—man or woman. Ever.” And Ai Miao, the master tactician, finally lowered every defense. In the overwhelming tide of pleasure, he saw his heart clearly: All the flawless plans, all the legendary victories—none compared to holding this man. From wary tests to life-and-death trust, from heartbreak to reunion—they must face courtly daggers, imperial pressure, and the tangled mystery surrounding a diplomatic princess. Together, they will purge the rot within and beyond the palace. This is an epic of growth and guardianship. Witness a cold strategist who plots each step for love, with devotion that cuts to the bone; a young crown prince who clings to emotion and carves out a golden age. Two mighty souls, bound to each other alone. Watch them break every chain and write a royal legend unlike any before—at the very peak of power, side by side.

I was the Alpha’s punishment, but he became mine

Soraya’s brother makes a single, fatal mistake—one that fractures the Winter Realm and seals his sister’s fate. He kills Cordelia, the pregnant Luna of a rival pack… and the strongest wolf their world has ever known. But Cordelia wasn’t just a wolf. And Soraya isn’t either. Both women belong to a hidden witch bloodline—one so rare their mothers died protecting it, a bloodline tied to an ancient, forbidden triasal soul-bond meant to bind not two fated souls, but three. When Cordelia dies, the dormant third bond awakens… inside Soraya. Nightmares ignite. Her eyes flash molten gold. And the ancient witch book buried for decades in the Winterfall Library chooses her—revealing she was never just Zephan’s sheltered, powerless little sister. She was the final piece of a bond written in prophecy, blood, and death. Damien—the ruthless Alpha who lost his mate that night—should want nothing but Soraya’s destruction. Taking her was supposed to be punishment, vengeance, a way to break her brother. But her scent clashes with his rage. Her magic answers his dominance. And the bond meant for war twists into something darker—obsession, craving, fate pulling two enemies together harder than vengeance can tear them apart. Enemies by tragedy. Bound by forbidden magic. Haunted by the ghost of the woman they both lost. Soraya was supposed to be Damien’s retribution. Instead, she becomes the one thing he can’t reject, can’t resist, and can’t survive without— his fate.

The Mark Between Us

The Mark Between Us By Rhyann Renfro Aislinn Hayes is doing everything she can to rebuild her life. After losing her firefighter husband in a tragic accident, she focuses on raising her young son and running the small-town coffee shop she co owns with her best friend. Routine helps. Structure helps. Believing the worst is behind her helps. Until she wakes with a strange, ring shaped bruise circling her finger. The bruise is impossible to explain. The dreams that follow are even harder to ignore. Vivid images of a man she has never met. Warm hands. A quiet voice. A life shared in flashes of memory that feel almost real. The dreams leave her breathless and unsettled. As if she is remembering something she never lived. Declan MacCrae has spent years avoiding anything that feels like attachment. His work restoring historic homes is safe and predictable and he prefers it that way. Until the night he dreams of a woman with deep red hair and bright green eyes. A woman he marries. A woman he loves. A woman he wakes up reaching for. He opens his eyes to find a bruise over his heart shaped like a dragonfly. When Aislinn and Declan meet in a crowded café, the pull between them is immediate and undeniable. Their marks begin to fade yet something deeper settles between them. Recognition. Curiosity. A quiet ache neither of them can explain. But someone else has taken notice of Aislinn. Someone who watches from a distance. Someone who has no intention of letting her move forward. Someone who believes she belongs only to him. As dreams shift into warnings and reality grows more dangerous, Aislinn and Declan must decide whether to trust the connection that binds them or step back before it destroys them both. A mysterious bond. A growing attraction. A hidden danger closing in. The Mark Between Us is a gripping blend of romantic tension, supernatural fate and slow burn suspense that will captivate readers who love Carissa Broadbent, Ana Huang and Lauren Thalassa.
