The Attendance Policy

"You were supposed to be a stranger. A beautiful mistake. Not my professor." Twenty-one-year-old Ember Hayes thought her biggest problem was her cheating boyfriend. She was wrong. After catching her high school sweetheart in bed with her former best friend on the same day she got her dream university acceptance letter, Ember does something completely out of character, she walks into an upscale bar and lets a gorgeous older stranger buy her a drink. Dr. Adrian Blackwell is everything her safe, predictable life isn't: sophisticated, dangerously attractive, and electrifying in ways that make her forget every rule she's ever followed. One night of reckless passion later, Ember thinks she can move on, forget the stranger, forgive her boyfriend, and start fresh at Ashford University. Until she walks into her first Literature class and discovers that the man who whispered filthy promises in her ear is now Professor Blackwell, her academic advisor, her instructor, and absolutely, completely off-limits. Adrian recognizes her instantly. The professional mask slips for just a moment, revealing the same hunger that consumed them both. But he recovers quickly, making one thing clear: what happened between them can never happen again. His career, her education, both their futures—everything is at stake. But denying their chemistry proves impossible when they're forced into close proximity. Private office hours become torture. Intellectual debates crackle with unspoken desire. Every accidental touch ignites memories of tangled sheets and breathless moans. As if that weren't complicated enough, Ember discovers Adrian is hiding something dark: his appointment at Ashford wasn't random. He's investigating a corruption scandal involving powerful faculty members—including the Dean, who happens to be Ember's ex-boyfriend's wealthy, influential father. When Ember's ex starts spreading vicious rumors about her "inappropriate relationship" with Professor Blackwell (ironically, to cover his own father's crimes), she and Adrian must choose: protect themselves by staying apart, or risk everything to expose the truth and fight for a love that could destroy them both. In a world where power, privilege, and propriety reign supreme, the heart wants what it wants. Even if wanting it could cost you everything. Some lessons can't be taught in a classroom. Some desires can't be graded. And some love stories are worth failing for.

The Trident's Obsession: Claimed By Three

[Warning: R18+ Content] I thought I was going to die. So I chose to be remembered. One night. One drink. One sin I could never take back. But the men I met at the bar weren’t strangers. They were The Trident… three ruthless heirs of the Corvanni Dynasty, the most feared mafia bloodline alive. Draven. Silent, merciless, a predator cloaked in shadows. Lucian. Calculative, hauntingly beautiful, a devil with a silver tongue. And Azriel. Wild, reckless, dangerously addictive. They don’t ask. They take. And now they want me… completely. Their obsession burns hotter than their empire. Their touch is forbidden, but I can’t resist. Because the deeper I fall, the clearer it becomes… I’m not just their desire. I’m their ruin. Excerpt ********** “Run if you want, Jade.” The nickname rolled off Lucian’s tongue like a promise and a threat, one no one had ever dared call me before. My breath hitched, legs trembling, but before I could take a step, Draven’s hand closed around my wrist… iron, unyielding. “You think you can walk away after tasting us?” His voice was quiet, deadly, sending shivers straight to my core. Azriel leaned in from behind, his lips brushing the shell of my ear as his laughter burned through me. “Sweetheart, we don’t chase what’s already ours. And you, little Jade…” his teeth grazed my skin, “…you belong to the Trident now.” Azriel’s fingers tilted my chin up, his grin sinful, dangerous, carved just for me. “Tell me, Jade,” he purred, voice thick with lust, “what do you want?” Heat scorched my skin, my lips parting, but no words came. My body betrayed me, trembling against the wall of Draven’s chest while Lucian’s hand traced lazy circles on my thigh, teasing, tormenting. Azriel’s laugh was low, filthy. “No, sweetheart. Don’t just tremble for us. Say it.” His thumb brushed my lower lip, slow, taunting. “Say what you want. Say you want our hands, our mouths, our cocks… say it, and I’ll give you everything.” Draven’s breath was at my neck, steady, lethal. “Careful,” he murmured, “once you speak it aloud, there’s no going back.” Lucian’s whisper slid against my ear, silken poison. “And when you do, Jade, you’ll never remember what it felt like to be untouched.” My mouth opened before my brain could reason… “I want you,” I whispered. Draven’s hand tightened, Lucian’s eyes darkened, Azriel laughed as if the world had finally given him his prize. Three bodies pressed in, heat and danger wrapping me like a cage I couldn’t escape. Didn’t want to escape. My heart screamed to run, but my body whispered the truth. I wanted them… All of them. ********** Three men. One woman. A love story carved in blood and obsession.

Married to My One-Night Stand Boss : One Night Changed Everything

"One night. No names. No consequences. That was the deal." Sophie Mitchell's life imploded in one evening. Her fiancé cheated with her best friend, her family sided with him because of his money and connections, and she lost the job she'd worked years to earn, all orchestrated by the people she trusted most. Broken and desperate to forget, Sophie made a reckless decision: one anonymous night with a mysterious stranger in a hotel bar. No names. No numbers. Just heat, passion, and temporary escape from the wreckage of her life. Three weeks later, Sophie walks into her dream job at Ross Industries, ready for a fresh start. Then her new CEO enters the boardroom, and her world tilts off its axis. Damien Ross, billionaire, corporate legend, Manhattan's most eligible bachelor—is the man she left sleeping in that hotel room. The man whose touch still haunts her dreams. The man who's now her boss. Damien built an empire by staying detached, trusting no one, and never mixing business with pleasure. But Sophie isn't just another employee. She's the woman who slipped past every defense he'd built in one perfect night, and then vanished without a trace. He spent weeks searching for her. Now she's right where he wants her: close enough to touch, working under his authority, unable to run. And Damien Ross always gets what he wants. When corporate sabotage threatens everything Damien has built and Sophie discovers she's pregnant, their carefully maintained distance shatters. Damien's solution is characteristically ruthless: a contract marriage that protects his company and her reputation. A business arrangement. Nothing more. But living together breaks down walls neither expected to fall. Sophie sees past the cold CEO to the damaged man beneath, someone who learned too young that love meant betrayal. Damien discovers the fierce, brilliant woman he can't stop wanting is hiding scars as deep as his own. As Sophie's vengeful ex and Damien's cutthroat rivals circle closer, threatening to destroy them both, they face an impossible choice: maintain the safe distance that's kept them both lonely for years, or risk everything on the terrifying possibility that what started as one reckless night might be the real thing. Some mistakes change your life. This one might save it. One night. One baby. One impossible marriage. And a love neither of them saw coming.

I Slept with the Devil of Wall Street

"You walked into my bed a nobody. You'll leave as mine—whether you like it or not." Sophia Chen thought she'd hit rock bottom when her fiancé publicly humiliated her at their engagement party—announcing his affair with her stepsister and revealing that her father's company only survived because of his family's "charity." Stripped of her job, her dignity, and her illusions, she did something completely out of character: she went to a bar and slept with a stranger. Not just any stranger. Damien Cross, the Devil of Wall Street. The ruthless billionaire whose hostile takeovers have destroyed companies and ruined lives. The man her father warned her about. The man whose cold gray eyes saw through every wall she'd built. One night. No names. No consequences. Except Damien never forgets a face. Or a debt. When Sophia shows up at Cross Capital for a job interview, her last hope after being blacklisted across the industry, those same gray eyes pin her in place with dark amusement. He offers her a deal: become his personal assistant for six months, and he'll give her everything she needs to destroy the people who destroyed her. The catch? She belongs to him. Completely. What starts as a transactional arrangement spirals into dangerous obsession. Damien is collecting evidence against her ex-fiancé's family, corrupt financiers who've been laundering money for years. Sophia is the perfect weapon: she knows their secrets, and her desire for revenge matches his own cold fury. But proximity breeds heat. And heat burns through every rule they set. As Sophia learns to navigate the cutthroat world of high finance, she discovers Damien's own dark past: a family destroyed by the same people she wants to take down, a brother's death he's been avenging for ten years, and a heart so fortified that no one has ever gotten close. Until her. Then two lines on a pregnancy test change everything. The baby growing inside her isn't just their secret, it's leverage. When her ex-fiancé's family discovers the truth, they'll use it to destroy Damien's carefully constructed revenge plan. Her stepsister wants the baby eliminated. Her father demands she disappear. And Damien... Damien locks her in his penthouse and declares war on anyone who threatens what's his. But Sophia isn't the broken woman who stumbled into his bed six months ago. She's learned from the Devil himself how to play dirty, how to weaponize weakness, and how to burn the whole game down. Now she faces an impossible choice: trust the man who treats her like a possession but guards her like a treasure, or walk away from the only person who's ever made her feel powerful. The Devil of Wall Street doesn't do love. He does ownership. But for her, he'll burn the entire financial district to ash, and dare anyone to stop him.
