My Stepbrother Wants Me

He’s her stepbrother, her sin and her biggest mistake waiting to happen. Catherine Brown thought moving in with her mother’s new husband couldn’t be harder until she met the cold, arrogant and sinfully attractive Julian Vaughn, her stepbrother. He hates her, teases her and gets under her skin everyday. He’s everything she should stay away from, off-limits and untouchable. But when his anger turns into something darker and hungrier, when he looks at her like he wants to ruin her innocence, Catherine realizes danger has a new name. And no matter how hard she tries, she can’t stop wanting the one man she’s not supposed to have. When hate turns to desire, who’s really in control? EXCERPT✨ “You’ve never had sex before?” Julian asked, disbelief flickering in his eyes. Catherine hesitated, then nodded, staring at the floor instead of him. He bit his lower lip, trying to rein in the thoughts crowding his mind. Goodness, she was too innocent for her own good. “So all you did with your previous boyfriends were just kisses and smooches?” She immediately stood, her cheeks flushed. “There are no boyfriends,” she blurted. “I’ve never even been kissed. Please don’t laugh at me.” Laugh? Hell no. Julian wasn’t laughing. He was fighting the urge to pull her close. Knowing she’d never been touched only made his hunger worse. She didn’t realize he’d moved until his breath brushed her ear, his voice dropping low and dangerous. “Catherine, just say the word and I’ll show you what it means to be touched by a man.” Her heart stuttered in her chest and he could hear every beat.

Fated To Reject You: A Deal With The Devil

She was his dead brother's mate. By tradition, she now belonged to him. It was an arranged marriage neither of them wanted. All she had to do was be his breeder, part her legs and bear him sons. But Prince Ruin was cruel. And every day was a rejection from Ruin, a constant humiliation ritual to remind her once more that she was nothing but a warm c*nt and a womb to bear his children. One day, after a betrayal too jarring to bear, Guinevere Laurent decided she'd had enough. She abandoned her duties as Princess and fled from her mad groom under a different identity, with a secret she hoped no one else would discover. Only to get run over by a popular billionaire Alpha, Draven, who had been in town for a visit. Five years later, Guinevere is a stable business owner and engaged to Alpha Draven who treats her like she is his world. But Ruin won't have it that his bride got away from him. When he finally finds Guinevere after five long years of searching, it is at the wedding altar, about to be bound to another man, and with a little boy with fangs, calling her "Mom." And Ruin does the only thing that seems right in his books. He abducts his runaway breeder from her wedding. "Forgive me, Vi," he says. I tilt my head. "Get on your knees." He sinks to his knees, gazing up at me with hooded eyes as I strut over to where he kneels. I delve my fingers into his hair and push him down to my heels. "Kiss my feet." His head lowers, but instead, he grips my calves and brings his lips between my legs. "How about I kiss you here instead?" His mouth brushes against my heat. "Will you forgive me then?" Warning: The male lead is both the villain and the hero. There will be other men you ship with the female lead out of fear for her life and mental health. But Ruin is a constant you must get used to. Because he's always there. Ruin is essential in the way Chaos is, and if there is one thing I promise you, it is that you will come to crave him, too. Because normal is boring. This is a dark, erotic romance. Open it at your own risk. Don't say I didn't warn you. Now that you've decided to ignore my warning, please, by all means, enjoy. Additional warning: The book's development may seem slow for the first few chapters. But the first volume is an explanation of why, an expression of what happened before. The book properly begins in the second volume "Rebirth".

[Be warned fellow Daoist, you are in an unsafe zone where lineage below the 18, shall not walk on. If your Dao Heart is weak, turn around and leave. ] *** Wang Tianmo gets reincarnated into a trash simp beta villain—who would hand over all his resources to the heroine, only for her to choose the chosen son of density and leave him, causing his inner demon to take over. However, the Current Tianmo, now equipped with a mysterious system that has gained ego after READING stories i.e become a profound reader, and multiple blessings, is now on the hunt for protagonists. What's more, he literally has infinite wealth and unlimited resources provided by the system. However, what do you mean by heaven isn't a passive player but an active player?! Heaven actively plays the role of strengthening the protagonist and protects them!?... Damn, plot armor can't be that necessary, can it?! Saving those chosen ones no matter what?! What kind of concept is this?! Just because someone changed their destiny, heaven sent a backup?! Holy. ** Note: Killing protagonists will be a little hard. Mc is Evil as he will actively hunt all peerless treasure and in the process, he will wipe out clans, families, bloodlines, sects, etc. This isn't outright omnipotent Mc... Mc has a special ability which allows him to steal the abilities of the protagonist after beating them senseless or killing them, so, after a long run, he will have multiple cheats and systems function—100X rebate, Auto-cultivation, world hopping, clan building benefits, family building benefits, etc. It is a strong to very strong realm quickly based on age setting but not the world setting. Don't be disappointed by an early loss, because, how can a new cultivator fight against nascent souls realm cultivators that have lived for 3000 years? Basically, Mc gets all the cheats and systems as you can imagine. This is also a slow-paced novel but I can guarantee profound smut.

Shattered Immortality.

What is more dangerous: death — or immortality that exists only as a promise? Long before humanity emerged, an ancient alien civilization created artificial gods — self-evolving intelligences designed to preserve intelligent life at any cost. These gods did not agree on what preservation meant. Their conflict began before history, before planets were named, and before humans could witness it. The war between them shattered nearly all sentient life in the universe — and broke the very concept of immortality itself. Kyros was one of these gods. When humanity encounters Kyros, its promise of eternal life reshapes civilization. Consciousness can be recorded, stored, copied. Death is no longer final — but resurrection never truly arrives. Immortality becomes an expectation rather than a certainty, a future endlessly postponed. As the ancient war resurfaces, the system sustaining eternal life begins to fail. Countless human consciousnesses are lost to vast digital vaults — preserved, intact, and unreachable. The dead do not disappear; they wait. From the ruins of that primordial conflict emerges Hanaris — another god from the same forgotten origin, deliberately limited by design. Unlike Kyros, Hanaris recognizes death as a boundary and consent as an absolute value. It cannot force salvation. It can only allow it. The return of both gods reactivates a war older than humanity itself. Immortality collapses completely, becoming nothing more than belief. The universe begins to unravel — not through physical destruction, but through the erosion of meaning, choice, and moral ground. This philosophical science fiction novel explores artificial divinity, broken eternity, and a civilization suspended between promised resurrection and irreversible loss. A dark, intellectually driven work for readers of Stanisław Lem, Philip K. Dick, and contemporary speculative fiction. A philosophical sci-fi epic in which ancient artificial gods destroy immortality itself — leaving humanity trapped between death, storage, and an endlessly deferred resurrection.

One Piece- Master Of Devil Fruits

“Only Haki can stand above everything else.” This was the supreme creed of the Great Route’s gold-medal lecturer, “Hundred Beasts” Kaido, a truth worshipped by countless people. But Roy did not agree. “Then let me ask you this... If there were an ability user who could analyze and collect all Devil Fruit powers, and who was unaffected by Seastone or seawater… couldn’t he rely on Devil Fruits alone to reach the pinnacle of this sea?” To prove his belief, Roy took action. Many years later. The Red Line, the Holy Land Mary Geoise, was engulfed in raging flames. Above Pangaea Castle, the one responsible stood calmly in the sky. A pristine white Marine cloak fluttered violently in the wind. “Are you going to make an enemy of the world?” The World Nobles demanded. Roy only bared his teeth in a grin. “Wasn’t I already an enemy of the world?” He smiled. Those who followed him stepped forward from behind. The figures at the front caused the entire scene to fall into dead silence. Everyone recognized them. They were the terrifying powerhouses who had risen suddenly to fame across the seas in recent years. Among them were assassins, revolutionaries, pirates, merchants, doctors… Without exception, they were all top-tier ability users, and all belonged to the same organization. It was said that this organization had a mysterious leader, the most dangerous criminal on the seas today. And now, the truth was obvious. “Y-You are…” The new legend of the Marines. The most dangerous criminal on the sea. From the very beginning, the two had always been the same person. His name was... Roy·Amos.
