SOPHIA I never imagined my step-aunt could make my heart race like this. She’s supposed to be my protector — the woman who keeps me safe in a world darkened by mafia violence and dangerous secrets. But her touch ignites a fire I can’t put out, and every glance between us pulls me deeper into a world where rules don’t apply. Our connection is forbidden — tangled in family ties and shadowed by the weight of betrayal. The mafia controls everything, and crossing those lines could mean losing more than just trust. It could mean losing everything. But some desires are impossible to resist. Some sins feel too sweet to fight. As danger closes in and loyalties shatter, I have to decide: Do I stay safe and alone, or surrender to the woman who makes me sin in ways I never thought possible? --- IVY She’s the girl I swore to protect. Not the woman I can’t stop wanting. When Sean asked me to look after his daughters, I promised. I meant it. But I wasn’t prepared for Sophia — no longer the shy teen I remembered, but a fierce, stunning storm of a woman who stares me down like she’s daring me to break. Now, I’m back — hardened by war, haunted by ghosts, and barely holding it together. This estate was meant to be a safe house. But inside these walls, danger comes with a mouth that smirks, and eyes that see straight through me. She’s nineteen. Off-limits. Sean’s stepdaughter. And every second we’re alone, my restraint unravels. When a threat from the shadows resurfaces, I’ll do anything to protect her. But how do I protect her from me? In this seductive, slow-burn romantic thriller, duty and desire collide in explosive fashion. If you crave age-gap tension, forbidden heat, and a hero battling the fire he’s sworn not to touch—this book will consume you. Author’s Note: This story contains mature themes, forbidden queer romance, and intense family dynamics. Book One ends on a cliffhanger. Book Two, The Way She Owns Me, continues their journey with even higher stakes

“I, Julius Armstrong, reject Doris Charles as my mate.” The laughter came right after. This was the second time my mate rejected me because I cannot talk. In the pack, they call me dumb not because I am stupid, but because I am mute. When I turned eighteen, my first mate rejected me for that reason. Today, it was the Gamma. He is twenty-one, the same age as the Alpha and Beta. This was his third rejection. The first girl was too fat, the second was too short and now, I was dumb. I never wanted to attend the mating ceremony. I knew how it would end, but my stepmother forced me to go, and my stepsisters came just to watch me get mocked again. The next day, wolves who had found their mates returned to officially claim them before the Alpha and pack leaders. I went only because I was forced, just to stand there and watch my stepsister get chosen. Then something happened that no one expected. The Alpha claimed me as his mate in front of everyone. Was I shocked? Yes. Did I believe him? No. Did I think it was a cruel joke? Absolutely. Because no Alpha would choose a rejected, mute girl like me.

Working as a cafe tender, even though she has a degree, discovered that her mum dumped her in the hands of a man who she thought was her Dad all along, and sold her to a man whom her supposed Dad owed, Kiana could swear that fate had a personal vendetta against her. Not until Alpha princess Dew— the daughter of the man she was auctioned to, breezed into her life like fresh air. The connection between them could be felt from a mile away. Dew made many decisions, just to protect her, including disagreeing with her father not to make Kiana a slave and accepting his condition of marrying the Alpha prince of Greenwood to strengthen the alliance of the two packs, but that was before the moon mating ceremony where she discovered that she was Dew's mate. Dew couldn't explain her sudden interest in Kiana even after she had decided to keep her hands off women because of her pack duties. But that didn't stop feelings from creeping up as they both started working together. Her father kicked against it, upon discovery. But it seemed the moon goddess had other plans. Kiana turned out to be her mate. But like she expected, her father wouldn't hear of her marrying a woman. But would Alpha King Darius continue kicking against their union? Even when the truth about Kiana's real identity was unveiled, and the survival of his pack now depended on her gifts?
