CynthiaJ1
Trisha Hart was a nursing student working as a waitress, scraping by, unaware that the world she lived in was only the surface. That was, until Rowan D’Arcy — billionaire, vampire, and ruthless mafia king … stepped into her life. Dangerous. Dominant. Obsessively magnetic. From the moment their eyes met, Rowan claimed her. Not with words, but with the way his presence crushed the air around her, the way his dark gaze stripped her bare. She should hate him. She does hate him. Vampires took her sister, the only family she had left ..and Rowan is everything she swore she’d destroy. But desire is cruel, and obsession is contagious. Every glance, every brush of his hand, every heated command pulls her deeper into a world she swore she’d never enter. A world where luxury hides blood, hotels conceal secrets, and one wrong move can mean death. Then comes the impossible: Trisha carries his child …a forbidden hybrid, a living proof of their dangerously intoxicating connection. The very existence of their love threatens the fragile order of the vampire world. Now hunted by enemies, consumed by desire, and bound by a passion neither can resist, Trisha and Rowan must navigate a deadly game where surrender feels inevitable, obsession is inevitable…

The Duke's Unwanted Second Wife

**Mature Content** Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

Billion Dollar Regrets: 21 Nights of Payback

THE WOMAN HE DESTROYED IS BACK—AND SHE'S BRINGING HIM TO HIS KNEES Three years ago, Aria Kane was a naive businesswoman who fell hard for billionaire Damien Cross. Their chemistry was explosive. Their passion was all-consuming. She thought she'd found her soulmate. She was wrong. Damien seduced her for one reason: to steal her family's proprietary business intelligence. He used her love as a weapon, extracted every secret, and then discarded her like trash. Within months, her father's company was bankrupt. Her father took his own life. Aria lost everything—her family, her home, her future. She spent three years barely surviving, doing whatever it took to stay alive, burning with a rage that never dimmed. Now, everything has changed. Aria's estranged grandfather—a corporate titan she never knew—has died and left her his billion-dollar empire. Overnight, she transforms from powerless victim to one of the most powerful CEOs in the country. And she has one target in her sights: Damien Cross. While she was clawing her way up, Damien's empire has been crumbling. Bad deals. Betrayed alliances. A loveless engagement to a manipulative socialite. Unknown to him, Aria has been systematically destroying his business from the shadows. Now he's desperate, vulnerable, and backed into a corner. That's when Aria makes her move. She summons him to her office with an offer he can't refuse: She has evidence of all his illegal dealings—insider trading, corporate espionage, fraud. One phone call to the authorities and he's finished. His company collapses. His freedom disappears. Everything he built turns to ash. Unless he agrees to her terms. 21 nights. Complete submission. No limits. No safe words. No mercy. For 21 nights, Damien must surrender himself completely to Aria's control. She'll decide what happens, where it happens, and how far it goes. She'll strip away his power, his pride, and every defense he's ever built. He'll do whatever she commands—in the boardroom and the bedroom. Humiliation. Submission. Pleasure denied. Control surrendered. In exchange, she'll save his company and destroy the evidence against him. But revenge is never simple. As the nights progress, the power dynamic shifts in unexpected ways. Damien reveals he was trapped by his own cruel father, forced to betray Aria or watch his mother die. Aria discovers that surviving her trauma left scars that still bleed. The chemistry between them—the explosive, undeniable passion—never died. Someone is watching them. Dangerous enemies from Damien's past emerge. His father will kill to maintain control. His vindictive fiancée will destroy them both. And Aria's grandfather's death may not have been natural. As corporate warfare escalates into actual danger, Aria and Damien must navigate a minefield of trust issues, explosive secrets, and feelings neither wanted to face. She's supposed to hate him. He's supposed to grovel. Neither expected to fall in love—again. The 21-night countdown is ticking. Boundaries will be shattered. Secrets will explode. And by the final night, everything will change. Because the opposite of love isn't hate—it's indifference. And what burns between Aria and Damien is anything but indifferent.

"The more you run, the deeper I sink into the madness of needing you, My Rose." The blade sank in with ease. Blood splattered across the floor, warm on his skin, yet his deep laughter filled the room. His fingers were covered in bloodstains, adrenaline coursing through his veins as he brought the rose to his nose, closing his eye as he deeply inhaled, as if trying to draw every essence of her "Vanilla&Roses". "Oh, my sweetheart", he whispered, voice coated in something sinful."My love, My Madness'' His lashes fluttered as he drew in another breath. "You haunt me, Ella. In my veins. In my sleep.

Bought by My stepbrother, the don

Carmen Castilo was the only daughter of one of the most powerful mafia dons in the city—until the night her father was shot in the head in front of her. At his funeral, while the family mourns, Carmen disappears. Kidnapped from her own home and drugged, she wakes beneath blinding lights in an underground auction where the most powerful criminals in the world gather to bid—not on weapons or territory, but on her. To them, Carmen isn’t just a woman. She’s the last piece of her father’s empire. The final bid reaches a staggering one billion dollars. The buyer is Nico Romano—the stepbrother she betrayed five years ago. Once cast out of the family after Carmen accused him of treachery, Nico returns more powerful, more ruthless, and determined to collect the debt he believes she owes him. Escape is impossible. Alone, stripped of allies, and trapped under Nico’s control, Carmen is forced to play by his rules—a calculated system of rewards and consequences he calls repayment. But Nico isn’t the only one playing a game. While he believes he owns her, Carmen is quietly rebuilding what was stolen from her. Someone murdered her father, and the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that his death—and her reason for getting Nico’s exiled—may have been part of the same carefully planned conspiracy. Surrounded by enemies and secrets, Carmen must reclaim her father’s empire before it falls permanently into the wrong hands. And the one man who might damn her soul…may also be the only ally powerful enough to help her win.
