Most would expect the daughter of the king of one of the four strongest nations in the Realm of the Angels to enjoy great luxury and power.

No one but a certain handsome man with eyes as cold as her father's.

The news was a brutal hammer blow, which shattered the fragile hope she clung to, leaving only the raw, agonizing fear of a future alone and an uncertain future. Amputated, she repeated. How will he work? What about our lives? Our children? What about our plans? The promise we have made together - has it all gone down the drain? My husband, one leg? God, oh God is this really happening? She muttered. I understand this is incredibly difficult, and I know there are no words that can truly ease this pain. But we are here to support you. Please take your time. Would you like us to call a family member to be with you? He asked with concern etched on his face.

Gie—born Gertrude to a legacy of royal jewelers—has never needed the spotlight. Her masterpieces have adorned queens, singers, and socialites, but her face remains a mystery.

Alexander has everything—wealth, infamy, women, and control. But what he craves is something he’s never had: touch that doesn’t repulse him, intimacy that doesn’t feel like a performance. When he meets Gie, the woman behind the jewelry that clings to his skin, something shifts. She's unlike any woman he's ever known—brilliant, stunning, untouchable. As desire coils between them in ways neither can resist nor define, they enter a dangerous game of seduction, power, and possession. But love doesn’t play by the rules… especially when the one thing they fear most is each other. As all my novel, please this is rated r. Do not read if you're 17 and below.

As a king standing at the top of the pyramid, he has long been accustomed to feeling superior. He is aloof and abstinent from women. Under various pressures from his family, he chose her. However, she reacted so slowly that it took her a long time to realize his feelings. Yet, on the day of the engagement, he appeared, holding another woman's hand. She froze in shock, unable to speak a word. "You know what? This is what you owe me!" he said nastily. Later, fate dealt her a cruel blow: the company collapsed, her father fell critically ill, and she was faced with a mountain of high-interest loans. Desperate, he pushed her to the brink and said, "I can help you out of this mess, but you have to be my mistress." Their relationship thus became a dance of love and hate. When he discovered she had a six-year-old son, he sneered, "What a shameless woman!" She was pursued by others, and he was very angry, "Stop flirting with other men!" Later, as her memories returned, her love and admiration for him turned into anger and hatred. He also deeply regretted and blamed himself after learning the truth, wanting to make up for it. "Let's get married." He said. "How dare you?" She replied with a sneer. She thought her revenge plan was flawless, but he was in fact very smart and had already spotted the flaws. He willingly stepped into her trap, betting that she still loved him...

He called me his ruin. Then he made me one. Alpha Shiloh's rejection wasn’t just a scar—it was a betrayal. He left me shattered. Broken. And I had to rebuild myself in silence. I almost forgot the way his touch once burned like salvation. Now he’s back. Not to beg forgiveness. To bargain. A deadly mission, he says. He promises freedom. But then presence ignites my wolf into a frenzy. She thrashes, desperate to claim him again. But I remember the coldness in his eyes when he exiled me. The way the pack turned their backs as I crawled into the wilderness, half-dead and wholly broken. Hate simmers hotter than desire. Yet here I am, bargaining with the devil who shattered me. Every moment we share is a lie. He doesn’t know about the shadows I’ve fed, the truth I’ve buried. Or the child. One whisper of its existence, and the pack will paint the forest with my blood. But the closer we get to completing his mission, the harder it is to hide… from him, or from the part of me that still craves him. Freedom has a price. So does vengeance. And I’m not sure which will destroy me first.

"Tell me to stop, Ruth," he whispered, letting his minty breathe fan over my lips. He sounded desperate.. broken. As it has always been with us, the word 'stop' was on the tip on my tongue, but what came out was entirely different. Cupping his face between my hands, I swallowed the lump in my throat, unable to make myself fight him - or myself - anymore. It was a losing battle, anyways. Looking him straight in the eye, I whispered back, "don't stop, Caleb. Not now... Not ever." ****** At first glance, Ruth Brooke's new boss Caleb Cross gave the impression of an immature, flirty playboy. At second glance, her first impressions were unsurprisingly confirmed. But what was surprising was the absence of her usual reaction to a casanova. Instead of dismissing him for the sarcastic player that he was, Ruth unwillingly feels drawn to him. She has always judged a book by its cover. But she is soon to find out that Caleb Cross is someone who has a shiny, new cover on every page of his book. And it is up to her to peel it off and discover the real Caleb Cross in all his gore, without losing her heart in the process. // Hey readers! This is my first novel, so please bear with me.

Amelia Hartley is a maid working at Buckingham Palace, trying to keep her head down and avoid royal drama—until she spills tea on Prince Nicholas, England’s most notorious playboy. What should have been a minor embarrassment turns into front-page news, and suddenly, the entire country is buzzing about "the clumsy maid who caught the prince’s attention." To make matters worse, Nicholas has his own problems. His grandmother, Queen Eleanor, is demanding he settle down, and a potential arranged marriage looms over him. In a last-ditch effort to dodge royal matchmaking, Nicholas proposes an absurd plan—Amelia will pretend to be his girlfriend. In exchange, he’ll use his influence to get Amelia’s younger brother into a prestigious school. It should have been easy. Act in love. Smile for the cameras. No actual feelings involved. But as Nicholas and Amelia spend more time together—attending royal events, dodging the press, and sharing unexpected, intimate moments—the lines between real and pretend start to blur. When the Queen announces Nicholas’s engagement to another woman, Amelia realizes that falling for a prince was never part of the deal. But Nicholas isn't willing to let her go so easily. If he wants Amelia, he’ll have to risk it all—including his title—to prove that their love is worth breaking the rules.
