“No one looks at you. No one touches you. You’re a Whitehall now... And you’re mine.” Roman’s voice was a low, dangerous growl against her neck. She tilted her chin, meeting the predator in his eyes with her own cold fire. “I belong to no one, Roman, certainly not a beast in a jersey. If you want to claim me, you’ll have to do better than your father’s signature on a contract.” She spun her wheelchair to leave, but he was faster. His hand locked around her waist, dragging her back as his palm slammed against the wall beside her head. “Don’t you fucking dare me, Estelle.” — Estelle Rutledge was the Ice Queen of the Rutledge sports dynasty: national treasure, global brand, and the financial backbone of her family’s empire. Until one catastrophic crack on the ice shattered her career… and left her in a wheelchair. In the elite world of the one percent, a broken asset becomes a liability. With the Rutledge legacy collapsing under a mountain of debt, Estelle’s own mother did the unthinkable. She sold her daughter to the highest bidder, trading Estelle’s freedom for a check from Magnus Whitehall, the ruthless billionaire owner of a professional hockey empire. But Magnus didn’t buy Estelle for himself. He bought her to be his son’s leash. Roman Whitehall is the NHL’s most dangerous beast. A volatile heir with a scandal-soaked reputation and a temper that threatens the family’s billions. To the league’s board, he’s a loose cannon. To his father, he’s a problem that needs a wife to clean up his image. The command was simple: “Be the one thing he can’t avoid… or lose your legs.” Now Estelle is legally bound to a man who sees their marriage as a cage, and her as the bars holding him in. Roman believes she’s a fragile burden. Estelle thinks he’s a monster fueled by rage and secrets. But inside the Whitehall mansion, built on power, money, and lies, Estelle discovers a terrifying truth: she is not the first “Ice Queen” Magnus Whitehall has broken. Trapped in dynasty politics and a contract signed in blood, Estelle faces an impossible choice. Will she let the Whitehalls destroy what’s left of her… or join forces with the beast she hates most and burn their empire to the ground? Because even though she hates it, Roman Whitehall may be the only man who can help her stand again. Even if he has to break her first.

Most people get isekai’d by walking in front of a truck. Violet got hit by one while sitting on her own bed. Before she can even process the fact that a semi-truck met her face, she’s dragged into a new world by a frantic System Guide named Angus. Her consolation prize? A "New Player Welcome Bonus." One single, premium gacha pull to help her survive. She didn’t get a holy sword. She didn’t get a healing dragon. She pulled the Demon King. He is the SSS-Rank Calamity. An ancient being of pure destruction. He is arrogant, he is terrifying, and he is regrettably, distractingly gorgeous. He is also wearing a gold necklace that binds him to Violet’s will—and he takes that personally. The super unbreakable necklace ensures he can't kill his master, but the Demon Lord seems to view that more as a suggestion than a requirement. Her survival plan is simple: 1: Don't die to the monsters. 2: Don't die to her own familiar’s malicious compliance. 3: Absolutely, under no circumstances, tell the murder-god that he looks hot when he’s angry.

"I wasn't ghosted, darling. I was 'Underworld-ed'. There’s a massive difference." I’m Madison. A professional stalker with a PhD in "Who is that girl in his tagged photos from 2019?". I thought my biggest problem was Tyler not replying to my texts for 4 hours and 12 minutes. Little did I know, my digital footprint was so massive and obsessive that it caused a literal system crash in the Afterlife. The demons were exhausted from overtime, the paperwork was piling up in heaps of brimstone, and the Prince of Hell? He was officially done with my constant "Is he online?" inquiries. So, they did the only logical thing: They kidnapped me. Now, I’m stuck in a dimension where the dress code is a human rights violation, the VIP lounge looks like a cheap motel, and the ruler of the Underworld—Prince Astaroth—is a thousand times hotter than Tyler but has the emotional intelligence of a teaspoon. But they underestimated one thing.You don't bring a professional stalker to Hell and expect her to follow the rules. MY GOALS : If I’m staying in Hell, we’re switching this 'tacky' fire-and-brimstone look for a 'Luxury Old Money' aesthetic. Immediately. I might have arrived here as a heartbroken stalker, but I’m leaving as the most feared, most fabulous "Toxic-Slayer" these realms have ever seen. "Honey, if you're going to Hell anyway, you might as well do it in six-inch heels."

Kayla never planned to fall for him. Not for his voice, not for his touch… and definitely not for the way he made her feel things she couldn’t control. He was distant. Unpredictable. Dangerous in a way that made her crave him even more. Every glance, every brush of his fingers, pulled her deeper into a world she shouldn’t belong to. She knew he wasn’t good for her. She knew he would break her. But every time he touched her, every time he whispered just the right words, she forgot all warnings. Now Kayla is trapped—between desire and danger, love and obsession, pleasure and pain. And the worst part? She knows she’s addicted to him… and she isn’t the only one.

“What if I could?” Leo angled his head to one side, “Could do what?” “What if I could do it? What if I had the guts?” Her eyes never left his. She wanted to look away, but she also wanted to look tough. She had a bad record in that area already and she knew that averting her eyes wouldn't do her any favors, so she kept her gaze locked with his.  Leo knew what he was about to do was crazy, but he was intrigued by this woman. He was honest enough with himself to admit it. She was nothing like the women who usually met. And maybe that was the reason why her offer to work for him intrigued him. He was curious. What would she do for him? How far would she go? It was a terrible thought, but he wasn't a good person, was he?

MATURE CONTENT WARNING: 18+ Only. Smuts, Possessive Themes, Obsession, and Dominance.] In the cold, unforgiving heart of Moscow, power is the only currency that matters—and Julius is a man who owns it all. At thirty-five, Julius is a feared and untouchable Alpha, a titan of the business world who has built his empire on iron-clad control. Locked into a cold, strategic engagement to a woman that secures his family’s legacy, he believes his path is set. He is independent, proud, and certain of one thing: no one owns his heart. No one ever will. Until the night he meets Harrison. Harrison is the Enigma—a thirty-year-old prodigy of the Russian underworld. He is more dangerous and more powerful than any man Julius has ever faced. He is a mafia king who doesn’t ask for what he wants, and he doesn’t chase his prey... he simply takes. What begins as a clash of egos in a dimly lit club turns into something far darker when Harrison leaves his mark on Julius, binding their fates in a primal way that neither can ignore. Possessive. Ruthless. Unyielding. Harrison doesn’t care about Julius’s business deals or his fiancée. He wants to own the Alpha forever. But Julius was born to lead, not to follow, and he will not bow easily—even to a man who holds his soul in his hands. In a world where desire meets domination, a war has begun. And in this battle for control, only one man can truly stand at the top.

For three years, Sienna loved a man who would never choose her. Alessandro Castellano kept her tucked away in his penthouse like a secret he was ashamed of—expensive gifts, whispered promises, and late-night confessions that felt real until morning came and he went back to his fiancée. Sienna told herself it was enough. That what they had was love, even if it lived in the shadows. She was wrong. The night she overheard him confirming wedding details with Vanessa, laughing about honeymoon plans while Sienna waited for him in silk lingerie he'd bought her, something inside her finally broke. Not dramatically. Not with screaming or thrown objects. Just quietly, like a door closing on a room she'd never enter again. When Alessandro walked in and saw her packed bags, he didn't believe she'd actually leave. "You'll be back," he said, so certain of his hold on her. "You always come back." But Sienna didn't come back. Six months later, she's not the same woman who cried in his elevator. She's built a life without him—a real career, real friends, therapy sessions that taught her she deserved more than crumbs from a man's table. She's even dating Dante Moretti, the charming businessman who looks at her like she hung the moon and doesn't hide her from the world. There's just one problem. Dante is Alessandro's biggest rival, and he knows exactly who Sienna used to be. Alessandro's perfect life, meanwhile, is crumbling. His marriage to Vanessa is a cold business transaction that leaves him hollow. Every woman he looks at reminds him of Sienna. Every night feels empty. He thought he could have it all—the socialite wife his family demanded and the woman who actually made him feel alive on the side. Turns out, you can't have it both ways. When he sees Sienna again at a gallery opening, transformed and glowing on another man's arm, something primal awakens in him. She's not his secret anymore. She's not his at all. And for the first time in his privileged life, Alessandro understands what it means to lose something irreplaceable. He'll do anything to win her back. Burn down his marriage. Destroy his reputation. Fight his own family. Prove he's not the same coward who let her go. But Sienna's not the desperate girl who waited by the phone anymore. She's found her power, her voice, her spine. And watching Alessandro grovel? There's a dark satisfaction in that she probably shouldn't enjoy as much as she does. The thing is, hearts don't follow logic. Chemistry doesn't care about self-respect. And when Alessandro looks at her with those desperate, hungry eyes and says, "I was a fool, and I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you"—part of her wants to believe him. Part of her still loves him. But love isn't always enough, is it? Not when trust is shattered. Not when Dante's offering her stability and devotion without games. Not when Alessandro's vengeful soon-to-be-ex-wife is determined to destroy anyone he cares about. Sienna has to choose: the dangerous, intoxicating man who broke her heart but might have actually changed, or the safer path with a man who's never made her cry. Except Dante has secrets too. And Sienna's about to learn that sometimes the person who seems perfect is just better at hiding their flaws. In a world of billion-dollar business deals, family expectations, and old grudges, Sienna's caught in the middle of a war she never asked to fight. Both men claim they love her. Both men want to possess her. But this time, Sienna's not anyone's prize to win. This time, she gets to decide her own worth. And whoever ends up with her heart will have to earn every single piece of it—because she's done giving herself away to men who don't understand what they have until it's gone.

Title: Holding You Through the Storm Lu Zhen has never believed in love. To him, attachment is nothing more than a temporary illusion—something that always ends in betrayal, abandonment, or pain. So he keeps his distance, builds his walls, and never lets anyone get close enough to see what’s beneath. Until Lin Xu. Warm, patient, and quietly persistent, Lin Xu enters his life without force—just presence. He notices the things no one else does. The forced smiles. The silence behind Lu Zhen’s coldness. And instead of walking away, he stays. At first, Lu Zhen doesn’t understand it. Then he gets used to it. And before he realizes it… he starts needing it. But for someone who has only ever known pain, love feels more like a threat than a comfort. So when things begin to matter too much— when Lin Xu becomes too important— Lu Zhen does the only thing he knows how to do. He pushes him away. Hard. Left with nothing but silence and regret, Lu Zhen is forced to face a truth he’s been running from his entire life: Some people don’t leave because they want to… they leave because you make them. When fate brings them face to face again, Lin Xu is no longer the same person who stayed without question. And this time, love isn’t something Lu Zhen can take for granted. To have him back, he’ll have to learn something he never did before— How to stay. How to trust. How to love without breaking everything he touches. Because some storms don’t just destroy you… some force you to rebuild. And this time— Lu Zhen doesn’t want to face it alone. Tagline: Through pain, through fear, through everything—you are mine.

Some stories start off like a fairytale. Some start off mediocre. Phoebe's started with tragedies. A boy raised by wealth and power. Became a man of danger. Death and destruction follow Taeyung’s every step. People are fake. But not her. Her fire, her spite, her beauty. It was a trap and he fell right in. Consmed by need. He’d burn the world for her. He’d tear down empires. Rip through Earth. He would have her or no one else would. ********************************** I yanked my wrist free and snapped at him “Where are you dragging me?” “You’ll see.” He took hold of my hand again and pulled me along; I didn’t fight him this time and kept up with his pace this time. We reached the food court and sure enough the bitch and her little bitchettes were seated gossiping and licking each other’s asses not just sucking each other’s egos. As we approached, the group of girls stopped their chit chat and began staring at Taeyung, eyeing him up and down like he was a delicious, delectable treat. A pit of anger formed in my stomach, and I felt the sudden urge to deck the bitches in their faces, one right after the other. “You thought you could just throw shit on my girl and get away with it?” He yelled in Korean, shoving their food and drinks off the table, sending their dishes flying, spilling the food all over themselves. “What the hell Taeyung?” The leader of their little clique yelled, looking down at her very clearly expensive dress. “Don't address me so informally.” He snapped loudly, the people in the room now looking at us. That’s when the queen bee noticed Taeyung holding my hand. “Why are you holding that foreigner’s hand?” She looked at me with disgust. “Bitch. Shut up with your nationalist bullshit.” I snapped ready to defend myself. But Taeyung stepped forward instead and said “You better watch the way you speak to her. Or I’ll make you regret it.” He threatened her. He looked angry, ready to jump down her throat and rip her tongue out. “I don’t typically hit women, but for you. I’d make an exemption.” The girls looked at him shocked. I wasn’t, I’ve seen the violent side of him. I know how real it is. Seeing him defend me like this. Protect me. It hit in a way I didn’t want to admit I liked. I smiled starring her down. The frown on her face was so sour it nearly curled the milk in my tummy from the latte I drank this morning. If looks could kill, the one she was giving me was lethal. “How can you say something so cruel to me?” She whined to him. Were they familiar with each other like that? “You touch my girl again and I will personally beat your ass. I don’t care about gender; a bitch is a bitch.” I was stunned he threatened to hit a girl, again. I also surprised myself when I let him call me his girl without any resistance. He turned and walked away, leaving them all baffled. “Why did you do that?” I asked. “Because she’s a rotten little spoiled brat.” He growled. "And I'll be damned if I let her embarrass and harass my girl."
