Man In The Arena By Teddy Roosevelt

“Attention, Lost Souls.” In that moment his entire life was turned around.

What do you do when your brother dies because of some entitled assholes? You go undercover. My real name? Clare. But at school, I’m Clause—just another guy blending in. Disguised. Watching. Yes, a boy. No, it's not an all-boys school—I'm just deep undercover, hunting down the bastard responsible for my brother’s suicide. Nobody—and I mean nobody—messes with my precious brother and gets away with it. They better pray I never find them, because when I do? Death will be a mercy, and trust me—I don’t do mercy. And as for the egotistical Alpha and the narcissistic Vampire Prince? They can go fuck themselves. I don’t do mates, I don’t do claiming, and I sure as hell don’t do them.

Melanie Collins was the perfect wife—caring, strong, and dependable. For the last few years, she had managed her husband’s messy family, and business alone while waiting for her husband to return from studying abroad. But when he finally came back, Melanie’s world fell apart—he wasn’t alone. Along with him was his 'best' friend. Broken and confused about the change in her husband, Melanie didn’t know where to turn. And then she stumbled into another cold reality. Everything she had believed was a lie. Seething with anger and humiliation, as she tried to come to terms with the betrayal, an unexpected person steps into the picture, intent on seducing her and conquering her. The only problem? The man was her ex brother in law... And against her better judgment, she is attracted to this bad boy... But as Melanie tried to make sense of the changes, she discovered there was more going on than she ever imagined. Had both brothers loved really fallen in love with her? Or was she just a pawn in a bigger game? excerpt Since he had already been leaning against the table, he simply slid onto it, and with one swift motion, he hooked his boot around the leg of her chair and pulled it—pulled her—closer.The sudden movement made her jolt slightly, and when she looked up or rather when she looked ahead, she found herself staring directly at the zipper of his jeans... She looked up then and met his gaze. He caught her chin," Would you like to check if I am only pretending, sweet melon?"Melanie stiffened. And then pushed back her chair suddenly, so that Adam almost lost his balance, as she stood up. Before he could balance himself, she placed her hand on his shoulder, her fingers brushing against his neck.  Adam stiffened, his eyes glittering as he waited to see what she would do next. And she, of course surprised him as her other hand, slowly settled on the inside of his thigh. And then, the hand on his shoulder started to move. Her fingers tracing the side of his neck before lifting as she shot a glance to the corner of his mouth. The little piece of metal glinting there. She flicked at it lightly, barely a touch, but Adam could feel the heat all over his body, as she leaned in close, her lips barely a few centimetres away...so that they could both feel each other's breaths… She smiled slowly then. "Careful, Adam," she murmured, her voice playful, but carrying the unmistakable edge of a challenge. "Keep pushing, and I just might call your bluff."

Scared by Blood – In a world where beast tamers hold great power, Samuel, a young tamer with an extraordinary and forbidden ability, embarks on a journey that will shape the fate of the continent. Unlike ordinary tamers who control living monsters, Samuel can tame the souls of dead beasts, gaining their powers and even commanding their bodies. The Beginning: Samuel lived a peaceful life in a small village until his mother revealed the truth about his father and his hidden power on her deathbed. Determined to grow stronger, he left home, trained in secret, and eventually registered as a beast tamer in the capital Zoria. There, he met his closest friends—Elaine, Marianne, Sylvia, and his childhood best friend, Lancelot. The Attack on Zoria & Awakening of Power: While on a job in the capital, Ezekiel (Vox Sanguinis), an infamous beast tamer, led an invasion using monstrous creatures known as the Malugna. In the chaos, Lancelot was killed before Samuel's eyes, breaking something inside him. Fueled by rage, Samuel swore revenge and awakened his Soul Tamer abilities. He summoned Bahamut, the Legendary Dragon, forcing Ezekiel and his forces to retreat. Rising Fame & New Challenges: As Samuel continued his journey, his power grew: He fought and tamed a Leviathan, gaining the ability to breathe underwater. He traveled with his party and Jason, a warrior from the neighboring nation of Sylphora. His abilities spread across the continent, catching the attention of kings, nobles, and enemies alike. He formed complex relationships, including a growing rivalry and romance with Lyra, a noblewoman who served the king. A World in Conflict: Samuel’s increasing power brought both respect and fear. Some saw him as a hero, while others saw him as a threat to the balance of power. The King of Zoria summoned him and his party for high-stakes missions, including investigating a leviathan threat in the city of Lorigna and defending the kingdom from external and internal enemies. But beneath the surface, a greater danger looms—a secret war between powerful factions, hidden forces that manipulate events from the shadows, and the mystery of Samuel’s own past. As he continues his journey, Samuel must face betrayal, loss, and the burden of his abilities. He will be forced to make difficult choices, knowing that every beast he tames, every enemy he defeats, and every soul he claims will shape his destiny. Is Samuel a savior, or will he become a monster feared by all? The world will soon find out.

They call him The Garbage Man. A name that sounds like a joke—until you understand what it really means. He doesn’t clean filth. He doesn’t fix what’s broken. He does what needs to be done. No hesitation. No morality. If slaughter is the answer, he won’t blink. If mercy serves a purpose, he’ll grant it without guilt. Right or wrong? Those are lies the weak tell themselves. In a world where magic and power shape reality, where the strong feast and the weak are forgotten, he walks alone. No cause. No loyalty. No chains. Just an unshakable will and the resolve to carve his path—no matter the cost. So if you ever hear his name, pray it’s in a story. Because if he’s real, you won’t live to tell the tale.

This is the story of a nineteen-year-old boy who, you are an unexpected series of events, via how his life completely changed. He woke up with his friends in what would be for them the biggest hell they had ever imagined. A place where they would do everything possible to survive.

“Five million dollars may have bought my chains, but it didn’t buy my loyalty — and it definitely didn’t buy my heart. I never dreamed my life would come down to a transaction of five million dollars. But my father’s betrayal puts me at the mercy of Adrian Costa, the ruthless Sicilian, head of Cosa Nostra whose name makes the mafia world quake with fear. Including me. He bought me in an auction saying he saved me, but did he? He is dark and dangerous, more dangerous because I have done underhanded work against him using my hacker identity, CIPHER. I swear that I will escape his gilded cage. Each of our battles ignites a deadly game of power and lust, while resisting him might just cost me everything. As secrets unravel and Adrian’s enemies close in, I find myself faced with the ultimate dilemma: Will I fight for my freedom, or will the king I hate become the one man I cannot live without? ***** “You think you can outrun me, Elena? You're wearing my ring on your finger.” I don’t flinch, meeting his gaze with defiance. “So what? I don’t belong to you.” He leans in, his lips brushing against my neck, sending a shiver down my spine. “You don’t, yet. But I can make you. Do you want that?" I swallow hard, my pulse racing. “Don’t flatter yourself.” Adrian chuckles darkly, his hand lingering on my waist. “Trust me, I’m not the one who needs to be flattered.” ***** # Dark Mafia Romance #18+ #Hacker Female Lead and Italian Mafia Lord # Touch her you die #Marriage contract # He falls first #Fast Paced #Strong FL and ML #A Not so cute Pet (Oh he is cute.
