When reflections begin to glitch with messages from the erased, Caelith has to choose: stay invisible, or turn memory into a weapon—and risk becoming the next blank space.

As the mate bond tightens and blood is spilled in her name, she learns the truth love is not the danger. Power is. Because in a world where Alphas never share, the greatest sin is wanting more than one… and surviving it.

[18+ | Mature Content | Dark Romance] After slaving away for years as Ares King's sole overworked secretary, Catherine has finally had enough of his domineering and heartless attitude. She wants to quit and use the severance pay to settle her family's debts, and spend more time with her long-term boyfriend. But soon after she hands her resignation letter, she finds out that her boyfriend cheated on her. He claims she's a wreck with no future, and he's better off without her. Heartbroken and devastated, Catherine is grasping at the last straw when her boss, Ares King, proposes a contract out of the blue. "Become my wife for one year." "Why me, Mr. King?" "Because we work, Ms. Lane.” The last thing she wanted was to make a deal with the devil. But this offer is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sell your soul to the devil for one year. How hard can that be? ********** Excerpt: "How many?" I froze. Did he expect me to count? "How. Many?" "I-I don't—Ah!" Ares spanked me again, continuously. My eyes stung, and sweet pain overtook me. I should feel sick from deriving pleasure from this, but strangely, I wasn't. "Two?" I teased, purposely getting the numbers wrong. "You shouldn't have done that." Just as I thought, he started again, but this time he drove each hit with more force until my ass was burning. "Fifteen!" I yelled, shaking. "Wrong." My heart momentarily stopped. "I got it right!" "You missed one." He pressed his hand on my searing bottom, and I moaned. I tried to squirm away, but he trapped my hands behind my back, his voice dark with warning.

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"

I kill people for a living. I also have great hair and an attitude problem. My name’s Cecilia Caddel ,assassin, mafia heiress, and professional disappointment to my father. All I’ve ever wanted is to find my missing mother. But one bad mission, one stupid gunshot, and suddenly I’m engaged to Lorenzo Ricci, the most dangerous (and irritatingly hot) mafia boss in the underworld. Our arranged marriage is supposed to unite the American and Italian mafias, but all it’s really doing is testing my trigger discipline. He might know what happened to my mother… or he might just be my next target. This isn’t your typical love story. It’s bullets, betrayal, and way too much sexual tension,where the line between love and war gets blurred, and the fire might just consume us both.

She was born a princess and raised as an exile. He was raised to be a prince, but he never truly belonged. Two secrets. Two lies. One marriage pact that will set the world on fire. Reina “Rei” Draven was switched at birth—ripped from her royal lineage and forced into an aristocratic household that never claimed her. Branded a disgrace and cast out as a teen, she disappeared into the underbelly of the world and rebuilt herself into the one thing they never expected—the ruthless, untouchable Queen of the Underworld. The mafia lord with a blood-forged crown. Finn Monreau grew up knowing he wasn't a real Monreau. He was a child traded between families, a temporary heir with an expiration date. Before the dynasty could discard him, Finn quietly created a second identity—a hidden business magnate, richer and more powerful than the family that bought him. Both betrayed. Both abandoned. Both ruled their empires, built from the ashes of their stolen childhoods. When a political crisis erupts and threatens both their networks, Finn and Rei are forced into a marriage pact—a union meant to stabilize their worlds, not ignite them. However, forced proximity reveals the truth that neither party expected: They are each other’s only equal. They become each other’s only weakness. And each other’s salvation. And as their double lives collide—royal blood, billionaire power, and criminal empires—they uncover a destiny set in motion long before they were born. Enemies become allies. Allies become lovers. Lovers become the most dangerous pair the world has ever seen. In a world built on lies, their love is the one truth powerful enough to destroy—or save—the kingdoms they were destined to rule.

With six months on the clock before the world ends, Amina Kim starts hoarding—and not just food, weapons, and priceless antiques… but men too. Armed with an overpowered system, infinite storage, and tactical brilliance, she’s preparing for the collapse of society—where peaceful neighbors turn into monsters, and monsters evolve into something far worse. The end is near. And she’s ready for it.

She never trusted easily. He never explained himself. But somewhere between the secrets, the silence, and the cities that swallowed them both — something undeniable bloomed. The only question is whether the truth will let it survive.

An Jian a young female general pursues her sister's suspected killer into a portal, time travelling to modern day.

Selene Astrid spent seven years as the Saint, sacrificing everything to seal the Demon King—only to be betrayed and killed by the Hero, Crown Prince Cassian. The last thing she saw was the Duke of the North dying to protect her. She awakens as Rosalind Thorne, the villainess executed for trying to poison that same prince. With seven years of future knowledge and her holy powers sealed in a noble girl's body, Rosalind has three goals: avoid execution, expose the fake hero, and save the Duke who died for her. But the Duke remembers dreams of a silver-haired saint. The timeline is changing. And someone is pulling strings from the shadows. This time, the Saint won't be a martyr. This time, the villainess will rewrite fate.

Lyssa wakes up on a stake, about to be burned alive, with a past she can’t remember—but a familiar ruthlessness she’s always known. She doesn’t want redemption. She doesn’t want forgiveness. She just wants to survive, and she’ll step over every 'hero' and 'saint' in this beast world to do it. She follows her instincts. And her instincts do not lean toward kindness — they lean toward temptation, toward testing pride, toward seeing just how far a righteous man will fall when pushed. The stronger the male, the sweeter the unraveling. As for the soft, innocent females the world so eagerly protects? Lyssa has never understood the appeal. Purity has always looked fragile to her. Breakable. She is a villainess in blood and soul. And the first thing she does? Snag a dragon beastman asleep at the bottom of a lake… and take his precious virginity. Note: My MC does not have a moral compass. So sometimes if you find yourself wondering, 'How could she?' or 'Why would she?' know it's because she doesn't give a damn about anyone and anything aside from herself. Thank you. Also, she's a bit of a succubus, if you get what I mean so be warned. And yes, that means there's a ton of smut.

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.

Merlee has always felt different, though he never understood why. While other boys chased girls and bragged about their desires, he felt detached and confused, convincing himself he was simply not interested yet. He never allowed himself to consider the possibility that he might be gay. In his world, that truth is dangerous. Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer people are hated openly, labeled immoral, hunted in the streets, and abandoned by their families. Society believes morality is tied to sexuality. Merlee does not. To him, morality is about a person’s heart, not who they love. When he finally realizes he is gay, fear consumes him. He cannot tell his father, a respected doctor obsessed with reputation. He cannot trust his classmates. Exposure could mean disownment, violence, or even death. Silence becomes his protection. But the violence against LGBTQ people keeps rising. Killings increase. Attacks grow bolder. The government does nothing. After witnessing the brutality firsthand, Merlee refuses to remain powerless. What begins as defending one victim grows into something bigger. He creates a secret identity and begins hunting those who prey on people like him. Sometimes he warns them. Sometimes he threatens them. When necessary, he eliminates them. As fear spreads among attackers, hope spreads within the hidden LGBTQ community. A masked protector emerges. A rumor and a symbol. But as Merlee walks the line between justice and vengeance, he must face a deeper question: can he protect others without losing himself? This is the story of a boy who was forced to hide, and the vigilante he becomes to survive.

From overworked corporate slave to… the fat niece of a future villain? At twenty-three, my life ended in the most ironic way possible, drowning in a lake while reading an online romance novel. When I woke up, I wasn’t just alive, I was inside that very novel. And worse, not as the princess or the healer or even the tragic maid. No. I woke up as Seraphine Agro, the silver-haired, chubby niece of the story’s main villain, Duke Tayler Agro, the man who would one day summon a famine, experiment on peasants, and get publicly executed. Awesome. Now I’m stuck in a half-collapsed mansion with stale soup, a broken “Duke” father who’s too kind for his own good, and an entire kingdom collapsing into plague and hunger. And to make things worse, the hero of the story—the dangerously handsome knight Sir Alex Canva, is on his way to inspect our lands. I know the plot. I know who dies. And I’m not planning to go quietly. Armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a questionable diet, I’m rewriting destiny, one disastrous choice at a time.

She was considered a sin. A child born of the union of two creatures that should not be. The lower gods saw her as their way to freedom, the higher gods feared and disdained her existence, but the Supremes cared nothing for it. Born into a world that gave orders from birth, an order enforced with no way of escape. There was so much injustice but no one cared. Her powers were sealed away, condemned to a life where she is pushed around and has no say or power.
