Excerpt... Henry’s hand shot out, closing around her arm, firmly enough that her breath caught. “Stay…” He stood beside her, close enough that she could feel him without touching him. “I…” Livia’s voice broke before it found strength. “I didn’t flee.” She still would not fully look at him. Her eyes remained on Bella. “This is not my fault,” she whispered. “No,” Henry said at once. “It isn’t.” He looked away, then back at her. “Do you love him, Livia?” “Please,” she cried. “Stop calling me that.” “Do you love him?” he asked. “Yes,” she said. “So soon after me?” he asked. “I thought we…” He stopped. “I assumed you…” “That I what?” Livia asked, her voice trembling. “That I loved you? Henry…” she began then she caught herself. “Your Highness. I did seek solace in your arms... Yes. I will not lie about that. I wanted you. I trusted you. In a sea of sharks and wolves, you were the safest thing I could find.” Her eyes filled again. “You made me feel as though I could breathe. Turns out, you are no better.” “Why?” Henry asked quietly. “Because I am the king?” “Because you lied to me. You let me trust a man who did not exist.” “I existed.” “Henry the merchant existed because you created him.” “For good reasons, I had to keep my identity hidden,” Henry said. “The king moving around London without security,” he continued, “what do you think would happen?” “You speak as though I was asking you to announce yourself in the middle of Cheapside with trumpets and a crown. It doesn’t matter anymore,” Livia said, looking away from him. “I am getting married.” “Yes,” Henry said, the word leaving him like a blade drawn from flesh. “To my best friend. Did you tell him?” Henry asked. Livia’s brows drew together. “Tell him what?” “That I fucked you. Did you tell him I was your first? Did you tell him you once trusted me? That you once promised yourself to me because you thought I was the safest thing in your miserable world?” “That is not fair.” “Then tell me is it fair that Richard gets to call you his intended while I stand here pretending I do not know the sound of your moan? Is it fair that he holds your hand while I cannot even say your name without ruining you?” “Please stop.” “Did you tell him,” Henry pressed, unable to stop himself now, “that you were mine before you were ever his?” “How could I?” she asked, the words breaking. “I did not even know who you were.” “Then let me ask you this,” he said, leaning down just a little, his lips a hair’s breath from hers. “Has he fucked you? Has he touched what is mine?” ..... Sold into slavery and trapped in the brutal underworld of London, Livia Valenti is placed on the auction block.

A Love Born in Lies A love born in silence. A past buried in shadows. A heart caught between truth and illusion. --- I don’t remember who I was. Not the girl in the mirror. Not the life I left behind. All I know is this mansion… And him—Professor. My husband. Cold. Untouchable. Mysterious. A man who says I belong to him… Yet looks at me like he’s already lost me. He doesn’t smile. He barely speaks. But the way he watches me— Like he's guarding something he’s terrified to break— it haunts me more than the gaps in my memory. Then come the fragments. A sister’s voice. A forgotten diary. A flower shop. A crash. And the moment I start to remember… everything starts to fall apart. --- What if the man I live with is part of the lie? What if the truth is more dangerous than the illusion I’m living in? What if… the love I’m falling into is the one thing I was meant to escape?

She came to Creisleigh to study, not to fall in love (maybe) — or uncover the secrets buried in its glass halls. Isadora entered the academy with one goal: survive its pressure, prove herself, and leave with her name intact. But Creisleigh has a way of testing more than just intelligence. Behind every smile hides ambition, and behind every rule, a secret. Between a boy who knows her past too well and another who sees right through her walls, Isadora finds herself walking a fine line between desire and deception. And when the halls of Creisleigh begin to whisper, she learns the hardest truth of all : not every secret wants to stay buried *** Excerpt She wasn’t watching where she was going. She just ran — through quiet corridors and empty halls — breath shaky, heart pounding. Then a voice cut through the silence — calm, low, almost unreal. “What are you doing here?” She froze. The boy who stood there was nothing like anyone she’d ever met — pale, mysterious, and carrying a presence that felt both haunting and familiar. And somehow, she knew — he was connected to the secrets Creisleigh tried so hard to keep buried.h

#Smut  “You want a gun?” he asked, as if I hadn’t already made that clear. “Yes.” “…Then kiss me.” My eyes widened, but he only leaned back slightly, watching me with dark amusement waiting for me to refuse. Instead, I leaned forward and pressed my lips against his. I meant for it to be quick. But the second our mouths touched, his hand wrapped around the back of my neck and he kissed me rough enough to bruise. That was when he bit me. Sharp enough to draw blood. His eyes darkened at the sight of it. Then his thumb brushed over the blood he’d drawn before he murmured against my mouth, “Good girl.” ******** Carmen Castilo was born mafia royalty until the night her father was murdered in front of her.

But explain to me why all the potential suitors look like they were picked up from the fucking gutter? I kid you not. one of them literally suggested teaching me to ride a horse and guess who found out he could not ride one at all and at the end of the day cried begging for his mother...me. And that's just one. There's also the fact that I don't want to even get married. So in a panic, after scaring my suitors away, I tell my father I'm in love with Zorathys Vaelkyrion.

Send help please, I just wanted a soft life and not a demon husband.. --------------------- "...you can't marry my daughter," my father said to the demon king and I nodded. "...she...she's gay. Yes," he said with a nod like that was the most reasonable explanation ever. "She's into girls." I was shocked and stared at him then back at the demon king who paused. Maybe this could work after all. I nodded too, supporting my father's words. The demon king smiled then. "What good taste you have, there's a reason why we belong to each other after all. I'm into women too." What?

[MATURE CONTENT WARNING: 18+ ONLY. Contains explicit smut, omegaverse, knotting, and mpreg.] "Fuck, still so tight." That's the first thing I hear after dying. Not a heavenly choir, not a wise guide explaining the mechanics of reincarnation, just a voice like dark honey and broken glass, breath scorching hot against my neck, and a body that absolutely isn't mine rolling its hips back like it has no objections whatsoever to what's happening to it. I have objections, so many objections. My body has apparently decided to hold a separate meeting without me. I was twenty-eight, overworked to the point of literal death, and had never so much as kissed anyone seriously. None of that seems to matter to the omega body I've just woken up in.. currently making desperate, broken sounds into expensive silk sheets, trembling around a knot that shouldn't feel this good, this full, this.. right, while my actual mind is still standing in the corner going what the fuck, WHAT THE FUCK??? By the time I finally see his face, it's far too late for dignity. Gray eyes cold as a winter storm, features sharp enough to cut, the kind of beautiful that doesn't ask permission before it ruins you. It gets so much worse when I learn his name. Wuchen Bael, my sister's fiance, the man who looked me dead in the eye afterward and said, without blinking.. "Round two?" And I haven't even gotten to the part where I find out I'm pregnant.

Lu Sangjiu spent over a year imprinting the innocent image of herself—often coughing up blood, delicate, and frail—into the hearts of everyone in the Seven Emotions Sect. In reality, the frequent coughing of blood was real, but she wasn't actually that delicate and frail. In the beginning, she had only one purpose for coming to the Seven Emotions Sect: to strip away the female lead Ye Zhiyao's destiny and break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao! Later, looking at the simple and kind-hearted fools of her sect, she thought to herself, since it's convenient anyway, I might as well save who I can! As the saying goes, the only thing that can defeat a pure white lotus is a refreshing little green tea. So, in order to compete with the female lead Ye Zhiyao, who possesses immense luck and is loved by all men, it wouldn't be too much for her to occasionally speak some "green tea" words, right? And so... Facing a demon beast, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, bravely said: "Eldest Senior Brother, don't worry about me, hurry and save Senior Sister Ye, she's more important than I am!" The hot-tempered Eldest Senior Brother stood firmly in front of her, "Nonsense! My Little Junior Sister is the most important!" Facing a scheming bitch, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, choked out: "Second Senior Sister, don't misunderstand, she wasn't bullying me, I'm not wronged at all!" The crybaby Second Senior Sister, while wiping her tears, gave her a live performance of tearing the scheming bitch apart by hand. Facing an Evil Cultivator, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, stubbornly said: "Third Senior Brother, you go first... I will definitely do my best to hold on until you bring people back to save me!" The timid Third Senior Brother mustered his courage, had a breakthrough on the spot, and crushed the Evil Cultivator! Later, Ye Zhiyao pointed her sword at Lu Sangjiu, claiming she was the Demon Cultivator Gu Huang, who brought disaster to the world a hundred years ago, and that she should be killed. Everyone stood firmly in front of Lu Sangjiu, "Impossible! Little Junior Sister is too frail to withstand a gust of wind; there's no way she's the Great Demon!"
