Sterling Archer

At twenty-four, Queen Layla Thorne never wanted the throne that claimed her parents' lives. Now, as the reluctant ruler of a fractured kingdom, she must prove herself worthy of a crown that feels more like a shackle than a symbol of power. With only her fiercely loyal friend Dara by her side, Layla struggles to master her thresh-wielding abilities while haunted by visions of shadowed wings edged in gold—visions that feel more like memories than dreams. When mysterious Rayne enters her world, hiding secrets that could either save her kingdom or destroy it, Layla must choose between the safety of her throne and the dangerous pull of a connection that threatens everything she's been taught to believe. In a realm where political alliances shift like shadows and power comes at the ultimate price, some bonds can only be forged in darkness. Will she embrace the shadows that call to her, or will the weight of the crown crush what remains of her soul? BOUND BY SHADOW - where political intrigue meets forbidden romance, and some destinies can only be claimed in darkness.

Hazel has spent most of her life picked on and bullied by the triplet, rich, and handsome soon-to-be Alphas of the Emberfang Pack, Lucas, Liam, and Levi Sullivan. ‘Adopted’ by the Alpha and Luna, Hazel works as a live-in maid and is subjected to their daily torture. As such, Hazel wants nothing more than to leave the Emberfang Pack once she turns 18 and pays off her debt. Only, never once has she expected to find her fated mate in her tormentors—the Sullivan Triplets. All three of them. Caught between the mate bond constantly drawing her to the three handsome alphas and the trauma of their past bullying, Hazel must make a choice. Will she let go of the pain and trauma and give the triplets a chance? Or will she walk away from the Emberfang pack and her fated mates forever?

"You hate me," Lily mouthed through trembling lips. Zayn leaned closer, his voice low and bitter. “No. Hate is too cheap. I want you to feel what I did. Every scream. Every loss.” She didn’t flinch. She was tired of pleading. She just looked at him with eyes full of quiet pain. So why did it feel like his heart was shattering? Lily Brightpaw was born the daughter of an Alpha, but she never lived like one. Mute from childhood and unable to shift, she was treated as a curse by her family. Blamed for her mother’s death and beaten into silence, Lily grew up unloved and unwanted. She believed the Moon Goddess would send her a mate who would rescue her but she was wrong. The night her pack fell, Lily was dragged from a shack and thrown at the feet of her new Alpha, Zayn Knightmoon. He was the man her family enslaved. Now he is the alpha who rules over her and he wants revenge. Zayn lost everything. His father. His mate. His pack. All at the hands of Lily’s family. When he realized Lily is his second chance mate, he rejected her without hesitation and swore to make her suffer. But the more he punished her, the more he saw the truth: Lily was nothing like the monsters who raised her. She’s a victim too and broken… like him. Zayn found himself torn between vengeance and a bond he never asked for. Will Lily’s suffering be enough to quiet the ghosts of his past or will revenge destroy them both?

When Jasmine’s fated mate Elliot rejects her for the Lycan Chairman’s daughter, she is left broken, humiliated and alone. To make matters worse, her father gets arrested for embezzlement, and Jasmine needs to raise ten million to release him. Desperate to save her father from a wrongful conviction, Jasmine takes the only job she can find—tutoring the bratty daughter of a rich werewolf family. But she never expected her employer to be the Lycan chairman himself: Gareth Laken. He is ruthless, dominant… and her ex-mate’s future father-in-law. Gareth thinks she’s a threat. A bitter ex-girlfriend out for revenge, waiting to harm his own daughter. But the more he watches her, the more he sees a woman refusing to be shattered by the world that betrayed her. A woman he can’t stop wanting, despite the huge age difference. Now, Jasmine is caught between two powerful men—one who destroyed her, and one who might destroy everything she has left to protect. Excerpt “You’re playing a dangerous game,” Gareth said, voice low, his towering frame just inches from mine. “I didn’t come here to play,” I shot back, even as my heart pounded. “But you should be asking Elliot why he keeps showing up at my door. I’m not the one chasing ghosts.” His eyes darkened, his gaze dropping to my lips. “He’s not the only one haunted by you.” I froze. I should have walked away. Instead, I whispered, “Then why do you look at me like you want to hate me and kiss me at the same time?” He didn’t answer. But his silence spoke louder than any lie.

[Mature content. No rape] ____________________ "Mr. Archer!" She hurried her footsteps after the cop, who seemed to have already memorized the way out of the small two-story house. "It's Adrien, not Archer," he said, not bothering to turn around and look at her as he turned the door knob. "Fine." She rolled her eyes. "We need to talk, " she said, following him out of the house and closing the door behind her. "I had enough time to spend with a dunderhead like you," she heard him say, and she fumed. "How dare you?!" She fisted her palm furiously as she saw him walk past the little gate. "You son of a chameleon!".... ________ In a world where mythical creatures like werewolves, vampires, and elves exist alongside humans, a long-standing war has left humans living in fear and captivity.

After dying a pathetic death as an overworked office drone, I woke up reincarnated as Archer—the bastard prince of the Brutish Empire. My existence is a royal secret as My father, the King, would rather pretend I don't exist. My half siblings get royal treatment while I'm hidden away like a dirty secret. But I have a secret of my own. I was OP. By age two, I realized monsters flee from my stupidly OP mana. By age ten my mana could level cities—if I dare to unleash it.

However, the spirit of the nine-tailed fox from thousands of years ago awoke within her body. From then on, those who bullied her would pay tenfold, and those who insulted her would come to a bad end!

Z-List actress Skylar Vance has been dogged by controversy since her debut. Vilified for her curves and drowned in tabloid scandals, she’s branded a "sex symbol" by ruthless industry rivals. Studio sabotage, smear campaigns, and predatory gossip columns have trapped her career in limbo for years. Enter Silas Sterling, the Ivy League-educated CEO of Sterling Holdings. A titan of Wall Street whose strategic ruthlessness reshaped entire industries, he reigns from a gilded throne—yet his icy demeanor has alienated family and colleagues alike. To the world, he’s untouchable. To those who know him? Unbearable. When a freak accident swaps their bodies, Skylar wakes up as the feared billionaire—and accidentally sets about revolutionizing Sterling Holdings with radiant empathy: She starts her days with warm family check-ins, showers subordinates with genuine care, rolls out irresistible employee perks, and lavishes compliments on her secretary's stunning new perm. Meanwhile, Silas storms through Skylar’s world like a corporate Category 5 hurricane: suing tabloids into oblivion, blacklisting scheming rivals, and warning online trolls with signature legal threats. The Internet Explodes: Forum Post: WHO is Skylar Vance’s sugar daddy? Her rise from Z-list to A-list reeks of shady backing! Tabloids froth with theories about her mysterious benefactor—until Sterling Holdings’ notoriously reclusive CEO drops a bombshell on live TV: "I’m bankrolling my own girlfriend’s career.

Twenty-eight year old Delilah Sterling, has perfected the art of being a respectable realtor by day, and a professional gold digger by night. Delilah believes she has her double life under control. Her meticulously crafted life crumbles when she wakes up one morning with a wedding band on her finger, a marriage certificate on the table, and a sinfully gorgeous man claiming to be her husband. To make matters worse, he is broke and jobless, making her feel trapped in a surreal nightmare. Desperate for escape, Delilah demands a divorce, but the stranger—insisting he wants to stay married—thwarts every attempt. Frustration and confusion mount until Delilah hatches a new plan: she proposes they team up to con her next target, the elusive billionaire, Hunter Quinn. What Delilah doesn't realize is that her "broke husband" is actually Hunter Quinn himself. Billionaire CEO, Hunter Quinn, having discovered Delilah’s intentions to con him, had decided to outplay her at her own game. Hunter agrees to the partnership, and together they plunge into a high-stakes game of deceit. As they plot and scheme, the lines between pretense and reality blur. Their forced proximity ignites an unexpected chemistry, leading to moments of vulnerability and genuine connection neither anticipated. Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

"Sterling, o que você fez?" sussurrei, minha voz tremendo. "Ele só estava pedindo ajuda!" Os olhos do meu meio-irmão, geralmente de um verde esmeralda profundo, agora brilhavam com âmbar predatório enquanto ele voltava parcialmente de sua forma de lobo. Sua respiração estava pesada, primitiva. "Ele estava perto demais de você, Aurora. O cheiro dele estava por toda parte em você." A voz de Sterling estava estranhamente calma enquanto limpava o sangue das mãos em seu jeans escuro. "Nenhum homem se aproxima do que é meu." Meu. Aquela palavra me fez arrepiar. Eu não era dele. Eu era sua meia-irmã, não sua posse.

Três anos atrás, Hazel Vance tomou uma decisão que mudou tudo. Uma noite de paixão com um estranho misterioso em um baile de máscaras deixou-a com mais do que apenas memórias—deixou-a com um filho cujos raros olhos violeta-azulados são uma lembrança constante do pai que ela nunca encontrará. Agora uma mãe solteira lutando para sobreviver, Hazel precisa desesperadamente da posição de assistente executiva no Grupo Sterling. O salário poderia finalmente dar ao seu filho de dois anos, Leo, a vida que ele merece. Mas seu novo chefe, o CEO Liam Sterling, não é nada como ela esperava. Exigente, brilhante e devastadoramente atraente, Liam tem a reputação de ser impossível de trabalhar. A maioria dos assistentes não dura uma semana. Quando Hazel se recusa a ser intimidada por seu comportamento frio e língua afiada, algo muda entre eles. A atração é imediata e elétrica, crepitando através de cada interação profissional. Mas são os olhos dele que a deixam paralisada. O mesmo tom violeta-azulado impressionante que a encara todas as manhãs quando ela olha para seu filho. À medida que a tensão entre eles aumenta e as linhas entre o profissional e o pessoal começam a se confundir, Hazel se encontra dividida entre sua necessidade desesperada deste emprego e sua crescente atração pelo único homem que poderia destruir tudo pelo qual ela trabalhou. Ela não sabe que Liam tem procurado pela mulher misteriosa do baile de máscaras desde aquela noite que o mudou para sempre. E ele não tem ideia de que a assistente composta e impetuosa que o desafia a cada momento é a mesma mulher que assombra seus sonhos. Quando a verdade finalmente vem à tona, isso os unirá ou destruirá a frágil nova vida que Hazel construiu para si mesma e seu filho?

"Você me odeia," Lily murmurou com lábios trêmulos. Zayn se inclinou mais perto, sua voz baixa e amarga. "Não. Ódio é muito barato. Eu quero que você sinta o que eu senti. Cada grito. Cada perda." Ela não recuou. Estava cansada de implorar. Apenas o olhou com olhos cheios de dor silenciosa. Então por que parecia que seu coração estava se despedaçando? Lily Brightpaw nasceu filha de um Alfa, mas nunca viveu como uma. Muda desde a infância e incapaz de se transformar, ela foi tratada como uma maldição por sua família. Culpada pela morte de sua mãe e espancada até o silêncio, Lily cresceu sem amor e indesejada. Ela acreditava que a Deusa da Lua lhe enviaria um companheiro que a resgataria, mas estava errada. Na noite em que seu bando caiu, Lily foi arrastada de um casebre e jogada aos pés de seu novo Alfa, Zayn Knightmoon. Ele era o homem que sua família escravizou. Agora ele é o alfa que governa sobre ela e quer vingança. Zayn perdeu tudo. Seu pai. Sua companheira. Seu bando. Tudo pelas mãos da família de Lily. Quando percebeu que Lily é sua segunda chance de ter uma companheira, ele a rejeitou sem hesitação e jurou fazê-la sofrer. Mas quanto mais ele a punia, mais via a verdade: Lily não era nada como os monstros que a criaram. Ela também é uma vítima e está quebrada... como ele. Zayn se viu dividido entre a vingança e um vínculo que nunca pediu. Será que o sofrimento de Lily será suficiente para acalmar os fantasmas de seu passado ou a vingança destruirá os dois?

They call him Ghost. A name whispered in fear across warzones, black markets, and underworld circles. To the world, he's a phantom—a faceless mercenary who leaves no trace but bodies in his wake. To his enemies, he’s a death sentence. To his brothers-in-arms in Graveyard, he’s family. But to himself... he's a haunted man searching for a past stolen in gunfire and smoke. After a flawless mission deep in the Eastern Province, Ghost returns to the hidden forest base he's called home for sixteen years. Yet the victory is short-lived. His foster father, the commander delivers an unexpected order: "That was your last mission." Now, Ghost—real name Miles Sterling—must step out of the shadows of war and into a world he’s never known. Guided only by a scarred letter, a fading memory, and the voice of a woman he hasn’t seen since the day everything was taken from him. But war forged more than his body and name. Behind the mask, behind the scars, Miles has another secret. One he’s kept hidden even from his brothers in arms. He’s not just a weapon. He’s a ghost with a fortune—a hidden empire he built in silence, across borders and black markets, forged in strategy and blood. A man of many names, and many shadows. Beneath the bullets, tattoos, and silence lies a truth buried in ashes. And Ghost is about to dig it up—one letter, one enemy, one memory at a time.

Losing something —or someone— may feel like the end of a story, but in truth, it's the beginning of another. One where tears are no longer the price of love, and happiness no longer feels like an unattainable dream. Because true love doesn't break you, doesn't make you beg for affection, and never leaves you in the shadow of constant doubt. Real love arrives like an unexpected whisper, like a ray of sunlight after the rain, like laughter you didn’t see coming —but somehow, it becomes home. And when that happens, you understand that what you lost was never your destiny… it was just the bridge leading you to something far greater.

Meet Eleanor "Ellie" Chen, a spirited and somewhat clumsy 38-year-old woman whose life takes an unexpected detour from her quiet hometown in a powerful, unnamed Eastern nation to the bustling heart of the United States (the "Most Powerful Nation"). After a series of bewildering mishaps and an immigration snafu she still can't quite explain, Ellie finds herself with one peculiar job offer: a cleaner at the illustrious White House. Armed with her trusty mop, an unusual knack for attracting chaos, and a complete lack of filter, Ellie is a fish out of water in the highly formal, meticulously ordered world of presidential politics. From accidentally flooding the Oval Office to mistaking a foreign dignitary for a lost delivery man, her tenure at the White House is a constant source of eye-rolling exasperation and bewildered amusement for the staff. Enter President Jonathan "Jon" Sterling, the most powerful man in the world. He's known for his decisive nature, his sharp wit, and a surprisingly short fuse when it comes to presidential protocol. Initially, Ellie is nothing more than a bizarre, yet oddly charming, nuisance. But as her unvarnished honesty, unexpected insights, and hilarious misadventures slowly chip away at his presidential facade, Jon finds himself inexplicably drawn to this woman who sees past the title to the man underneath. "The President Fell for His White House Cleaner" is a hilarious, heartwarming, and utterly improbable romantic comedy about an ordinary woman stumbling into the most extraordinary of love stories. With a backdrop of White House antics, laugh-out-loud misunderstandings, and a sprinkling of international intrigue from Ellie's mysterious past, this novel proves that love can blossom in the most unlikely of places, even between the leader of the free world and his favorite — and most chaotic — cleaner.

#WSA2025 Word went around that no one that had ever knocked on the esteemed Eleazar family’s doors seeking shelter were turned away. Fleeing the prince of Lustris no less, Arabella Sterling held out hope that those weren’t mere rumors as she crossed the border over to Umbraria, home to all creatures of the night. A land where noble blood like hers was a highly coveted delicacy. As such, she wasn’t turned away, but since the Eleazars ran no charity, Arabella was compelled to become the sole blood provider to the heir of the family in exchange for safety. Though never, in a million years, did she imagine that what had started as a simple trade off, could morph into a swirl of tangled passion when the cold and stoic vampire she served showed interest in the young woman beyond the crimson nectar coursing her veins.

Three years ago, Hazel Vance made a choice that changed everything. One night of passion with a mysterious stranger at a masquerade ball left her with more than just memories—it left her with a son whose rare violet-blue eyes are a constant reminder of the father she'll never find. Now a struggling single mother, Hazel desperately needs the executive assistant position at Sterling Group. The salary could finally give her two-year-old Leo the life he deserves. But her new boss, CEO Liam Sterling, is nothing like she expected. Demanding, brilliant, and devastatingly handsome, Liam has a reputation for being impossible to work for. Most assistants don't last a week. When Hazel refuses to be intimidated by his cold demeanor and sharp tongue, something shifts between them. The attraction is immediate and electric, crackling through every professional interaction. But it's his eyes that stop her cold. The same striking violet-blue shade that stares back at her every morning when she looks at her son. As the tension between them builds and the lines between professional and personal begin to blur, Hazel finds herself caught between her desperate need for this job and her growing attraction to the one man who could destroy everything she's worked for. She doesn't know that Liam has been searching for the mysterious woman from the masquerade ball ever since that night changed him forever. And he has no idea that the composed, fiery assistant who challenges him at every turn is the same woman who haunts his dreams. When the truth finally comes to light, will it bring them together or tear apart the fragile new life Hazel has built for herself and her son?

All she wanted was to save her brother. And all he wanted was a child. He bought her, bound to a contract to give him a child and disappear from his life afterwards, but what hit her like a storm was love... falling for the masked monster who bought her body. Andrew Sterling hated greedy women, and every woman he'd contracted to bear his child, heir to the Sterling Enterprises, had been just that. When Anne, his third contracted surrogate, showed up, he saw her as the very same type of woman until she peeled open his stone-cold heart. What ties them next isn't just a baby contract, but an unexpected marriage formulated by Andrew's grandfather. But a man who has always despised marriage will never be tied down, not even by his contracted surrogate, because the minute she gave him the child he needed, he would send her out of his life. But when the tables turn on him... He says to her, "With a husband as rich as me, right now you're the wealthiest woman alive." "We're only married till I give birth," she retorted. He frowns at that, feeling internally displeased. "It doesn't matter how long we're married for. From now on, everything I own is yours. If you want heaven and earth, I'll buy it for you. My wife will never be found lacking a single fucking thing." She stared at him in disbelief. When did he start feeling something for her? He couldn't remember.

He saw not just a dancer, but a fascinating acquisition, a spirit he felt compelled to possess. A spark ignited, but for him, it was a consuming desire, a possessive intrigue. Their encounters moved beyond the club, Alexander meticulously orchestrating their time together. He unveiled a calculated charm, drawing Amelia into sharing her deepest dreams, unknowingly fueling his fixation. What blossomed for Amelia was an unexpected, distorted love.

While others serve fate, he rewrites destiny. His mind is a battlefield, and the martial world is his board. He is a Dao Breaker, a destiny shatterer, a Heaven-defying strategist. With multiple identities, overpowered clones, and one soul in many bodies, he manipulates the martial world and even the Nine Heavens themselves. This is not just reincarnation. This is domination. --- Spoiler – No Trophy Harem: This is not a 20-girl trophy harem. Shen Yue will have at most 4–5 meaningful partners, each with depth and personal growth. One will become his main wife, standing by him through life and death. Every love interest will play a real role in the plot—not just background decoration. tags #Cultivation #EasternFantasy #Reincarnation #System #CloneSystem #OverpoweredProtagonist #StrategicMC #DaoMastery #MultipleIdentities #OneSoulManyPaths #HeavenDefying #UniqueCultivationMethod #HiddenPower #ImmortalPath #PowerProgression #FateControl #SecondChance #AncientInheritance #MultipleRealms #DivineCloneSystem #MeaningfulRomance #SlowBurnRomance #StrongFemaleLead #LoyalPartners #RomanticSubplot #R18 (optional) #MentalStrength #SchemingMC #PsychologicalWarfare #Multiverse #CloneConflict #SecretIdentity #WorldManipulation #AlchemyMaster #SwordGod #HiddenWorldSecrets #RealmBreakingMC #NoTrophyHarem #LawsAndDaos #HeavenRealm #NineHeavens #DeepWorldBuilding

Wer ewige Liebe verspricht, aber denjenigen verrät, der blind auf sein Wort vertraut, bricht nicht nur ein Herz, sondern sät auch die Saat seiner eigenen Ruine. Nicht zu schätzen, was man hat, ist ein gefährliches Spiel, denn wenn man es verliert, steht man nicht nur vor der Leere des Verlustes, sondern auch vor der Last des eigenen Verrats. Oft beginnt die Selbstzerstörung mit der Unfähigkeit, das zu schätzen, was dem Leben Bedeutung verlieh.

Quem promete amor eterno, mas trai quem confia cegamente em sua palavra, não apenas quebra um coração, mas também planta as sementes de sua própria ruína. Não valorizar o que se tem é um jogo perigoso, pois, ao perder, enfrenta-se não apenas o vazio da perda, mas também o peso de sua própria traição. Muitas vezes, a autodestruição começa com a incapacidade de valorizar aquilo que dava sentido à vida.
