Celeste never asked to marry Adrian Westwood, a ruthless billionaire with as many enemies as he has secrets. Their union, born out of necessity, was supposed to be a calculated arrangement. But from the moment she steps into his world, she's plunged into a high-stakes game of loyalty and betrayal. A bloody attack shatters the fragile balance of their lives, and the lines between business, danger, and desire blur. Whispers in the press, rivals lurking in the shadows, and a key leading to a past Adrian swore was buried all push Celeste deeper into a truth she’s not sure she wants to discover. Allegra, the enemy who won't stay gone, plays her moves with precision, manipulating long standing loyalties, resurrecting ghosts, and dangling temptations that even Adrian’s most trusted allies might not resist, and when suspicion turns inward, Celeste must decide who she can trust… and what she’s willing to risk to survive. Meanwhile, drawn together by danger, they can’t ignore the pull between them as their contract marriage slowly evolves into something newer. Adrian’s protectiveness feels as dangerous as the enemies circling them, and Celeste finds herself craving the man she once swore to resist, but desire in their world comes tangled in power plays and whispered threats. Because power is currency and love is leverage and Celeste will learn that some vows are more dangerous than they appear, and some secrets refuse to stay buried.

“You witnessed an execution. You were seen. That means they will come for you. You take one step out of this car without my protection, and you’ll disappear before morning.” I stared at him, desperately searching his profile for a crack in the mask, some sign that he was lying or exaggerating. He wasn’t. “That doesn't make any sense. Why are you helping me then, if its such a risk?” “Helping you?” he asked. “I’m handling you. The least you could do is keep quiet and let me do it in peace.” “Hold on a second. Thank you for getting to me when you did, but you can’t just take me somewhere and decide my life for me.” His gaze never wavered as his eyes burned deep into mine. “Cara Mia. It's too late, I already have.” When Bianca Serafini witnesses a brutal execution, her life should have ended that night. Instead, she’s taken, claimed, by Matteo De Luca, the cold-blooded heir to Naples’ most feared mafia dynasty. To protect his empire, Matteo makes her disappear into his world of violence, luxury, and rules written in blood. But Bianca isn’t simply a pawn. She is the daughter of a dead man with dangerous secrets buried too deep, and her presence threatens to unravel everything. Matteo knows she’s a risk, a witness, a temptation. But letting her go was never an option. As old enemies close in and buried loyalties rise from the dead, one thing becomes clear. In a house built on guns and roses, love heralds the deadliest betrayal of all.

There is nothing Iris loves more than curling up with a ridiculous werewolf romance, laughing her head off at every over-the-top, cringey scene and swooning at the shameless smut. But one night, partway through an e-novel by a mysterious "Author 456", she chokes on a Doritos chip, dies, and wakes up inside the story as the doomed heroine. Now she’s trapped in a medieval werewolf afterlife with bizarre werewolf laws, dangerously hot Alphas, and plotlines she knows will end in her eventual demise. There’s Alpha Kieran, her volatile, possessive fated mate who’ll tear kingdoms apart to keep her. And there’s Alpha Rowan, the charming first love who still holds a piece of her heart and isn’t afraid to fight for it. Their rivalry is a ticking time bomb that is already threatening to spark a war, and Iris is right in the middle. As if juggling two jealous, dominant Alphas isn’t enough, a human rebellion is rising, and every move she makes could shift the story’s fate. She's got only one goal; to survive long enough to find a way back home before her “tragic ending” catches up to her. Expect heated glances, possessive growls, steamy arguments that turn into even steamier reconciliations, and enough bedroom (and not-so-bedroom) scenes to make you blush in public. This is a laugh-out-loud, heart-racing, smut-laced romance you won’t be able to put down.
