Sold to the Mountain King

My father sold me to settle a gambling debt. I didn’t know until the man I’d been serving coffee to for two months pulled out my chair at a brunch table in Vail. An engagement clause with my name on it, signed eight weeks ago without my knowledge. My father couldn’t look at me. Cole Ashford couldn’t stop looking. Cole is the CEO of Palisade and leader of the 303. He bought my father’s debt in one night. He told him the clause was worthless before the ink dried—and let him sign it anyway. He knows my lease, my coffee, my life. He broke into my apartment while I was in Vail and left a cup of coffee brewed exactly the way I brew it, still warm when I walked through the door. I hated him. I hated more the way my body wouldn’t agree. His voice landed behind my ribs and spread where it had no business spreading. His gaze dropped to my mouth and I felt it on my skin for hours. The most dangerous man in Denver looked at me like I was the only thing his empire couldn’t buy. I wanted to burn the part of me that responded. I built Treeline from three years of tips and a lease in Union Station. Now I’m discovering the ground beneath it was his before I laid the first brick—engineered by a man who doesn’t take what he wants. He builds a world where what he wants walks in on its own. But every touch he takes gives him nothing. Granite and ice. Every touch I choose to give him changes everything. He thinks he claimed me. He’s wrong. The only version of me worth having walks in on her own. And I haven’t decided yet.

She was never meant to inherit anything. Meant to be forgotten. But on her nineteenth birthday, the ancient contract awakens—and Esme becomes the Mistress of the Seven Princes Of Sin, beings even Alpha Kings feared to name aloud. Seven Monsters—created by a cunning Entity to represent the Seven Deadly Sins. They were bound to her by her paternal blood, rune, and will. And somehow… life got better. A silver-haired vampire who treats her like a treasure. “My lady, your fists are too precious to touch scum like that. Let me handle him.” A werewolf warlord with a pack of terrifyingly obedient men. "Dear Mistress, what command do you have for me today?” A beautiful seven-star chef insisting on feeding her by hand. "Say a word and a feast worthy of kings will be set at your table.” Best of all? A system left behind by their Creator that showed her how loyal they were to her. However, peace was short-lived. Because the Second Alpha Prince finally returns. An Alpha born to command, blessed by the Moon, feared by Kings yet haunted by a red-haired girl with a sad smile he never forgot. He comes to save her. He comes with Bloodlines, armies, and fate itself at his back. Yet Esme only laughs. After all—what’s more fun than a war between Alpha Bloodlines and Ancient Monsters? Especially when the prize is hers. The rules are simple. Fight. Win. And maybe earn a kiss on the cheek. **** This story is about the FL handling all seven brothers; their instability, their powers, their obsession—and then having multiple Alphas from different kingdoms chase after her because of her Blood-Hound wolf.

CEO Finn's Mafia Wife

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.

Her Name Awakens a Slumbering Fate

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.

Humiliated in high school when her financial situation was exposed, she vowed one thing: never again would she be the one who is tolerated, underestimated, or relegated to the background. Now working at Ashford Couture—the fashion branch of the powerful Ashford Inc.—Isadora has already stepped inside the world she once watched from a distance. When she catches the eye of Adrian Ashford—heir to the Ashford Inc. empire and a key figure in Ravenport—she immediately understands that some doors don't open by chance. Through social strategies, subtle manipulation, and calculated seduction, Isadora gradually infiltrates a world where every smile hides a contract and every relationship conceals a stake.

Switch: Entropy (Prequel)

They were trying to build a better smart home. Instead, they accidentally found a crack in reality. For doctoral candidate Lonna Patricks, "Spatial Pinhole Theory" was just a fringe physics thesis destined for academic rejection. That is, until two tech billionaires arrive in West Virginia with a blank check and an impossible secret. They haven't just theorized about topological defects in the universe—they’ve accidentally built a neighborhood right on top of one. Relocated to a highly classified "skunkworks" facility in Silicon Valley, Lonna joins an elite, eccentric team to do what modern science says is impossible: build a functional "burglar alarm" to detect invisible holes in the fabric of the world. However, mapping these anomalies requires a delicate dance with high-voltage capacitors, chaotic entropy signals, and venturing into the subterranean depths of a derelict textile factory. As the science pushes the boundaries of the physical world, the brilliant men funding the research are pushing Lonna's personal limits. She finds herself caught in an intense, magnetic tug-of-war between the ruthlessly demanding Apex CEO Julian Vane, who wants to break the rules just to see what happens, and the charming, steady GIG CEO Alex Greyson, who wants to build a foundation strong enough to survive the fallout. With a massive, dormant "Breach" discovered beneath their feet and an unknown entity using impossible, white-hot fire to cauterize anomalies in the shadows, the team must perfect their reality-detecting radar before the balance tips. Because the laws of physics are breaking down, and Lonna is the only one who can calculate the true cost SWITCH: Entropy is a 50-chapter prequel as part of the SWITCH light novel series. New chapters every 2 days.

The King Who Only Loves Corpses

In the Empire of Vireth, a land cursed by blood and ritual, Emperor Kaelor Vireth cannot feel emotion—except at the moment of death. Life is a dull, colorless haze, until he experiences near-death, when sensation floods his senses and his mind awakens to anger, joy, and desire. To feel alive, he engineers wars and invites assassination attempts, each near-death moment a drug. Until Seris Vale, a legendary assassin, is sent to kill him. But when her blade first pierces his defense, Kaelor feels something more than pain—he feels… alive. Instead of execution, Kaelor binds her to him as his personal executioner, the only person allowed to attempt his death. Each encounter becomes a ritual: a deadly game of proximity and passion, where the knife at his throat is indistinguishable from intimacy. As their dangerous liaison unfolds, Seris discovers she alone can make the king feel, and Kaelor discovers he cannot survive without her touch. But desire and power are never without consequence. Court factions, assassins’ guilds, and foreign powers all seek to manipulate, control, or eliminate them. The Assassin Guild demands she finish her mission; rivals and nobles suspect her influence; cultists claim the king is a demon. And through it all, their bond evolves from weapon and target to a twisted, intoxicating addiction—each testing the boundaries of loyalty, survival, and love. Over centuries of political upheaval, assassination attempts, and forbidden intimacy, both must confront their darkest impulses. Kaelor is forced to decide whether to remain addicted to death, or to risk living for the first time. Seris must choose whether to be the executioner who ends him, or the anchor who teaches him to survive. At its heart, The King Who Only Loves Corpses is a story about addiction, obsession, and the fragile, dangerous beauty of emotion itself. It’s a gothic dark fantasy romance designed for long-term serialization, with intricate political intrigue, morally grey protagonists, and high-stakes, addictive near-death tension.
