Summary

Description：
Years ago, Adeline Sinclair discovered that her stepmother's quiet, brilliant son was secretly in love with her—so she seduced him, and then, at the height of his devotion, she broke him and walked away.

Now her family's company is collapsing, and the only person who can save it is the very boy she destroyed: Corin Ashcroft, once meek and adoring, now a ruthless business mogul who looks at her with a cold smile and asks how, exactly, she plans to pay him back.

Trapped by debt and desperation, Adeline agrees to his terms—certain this is his revenge. But behind every cruel bargain hides a secret: the years he spent buying her paintings from across the world, the illness he never mentioned, and a love that five years of hatred could never kill.

An intense, deeply emotional second-chance romance about pride, redemption, and being seen at last.
Available since: 08/13/2026.

    Following her best friend's passing, Chloe has been finding solace in the world through her VR headset, including going on virtual dates with the charming Blaine amongst the glittering skyline of Manhattan.
Everything seems to be perfect, except for the obvious, that Blaine is just an avatar she doesn't know in the real world. As their chemistry grows, offering Chloe the escape she has been seeking, Blaine throws out the idea that Chloe should go to New York to find him. But going to New York will open more than just a search for the mysterious Blaine, as the city holds old wounds too with Chloe's ex boyfriend Jimmy now living there. The memories of Jimmy, as well as of her friend Kerry, begin to come flooding back with each step closer Chloe takes toward New York City.
Deciding to go and find Blaine, Chloe finds herself reuniting with Jimmy and she is forced to ask herself the question of what it is that she really wants.

    Every girl at the age of eighteen, if left unmated, is volunteered for the Alphas Hunt. Hazel is no exception and also the only one who sees it not as a chance to find a strong Alpha to take care of her, but rather as a ceremony that strips you of your free will and sends you out into the woods to be hunted like a deer.
 
If she is claimed she will be his. If she is not, she will return in shame and be shunned from her pack.
 
Hazel knows the ways of the Alphas, being the daughter of a Beta, but what she doesn't count on is the presence of the Lycan King. The leader of all is participating in his first-ever hunt, and she is his prey.
 
***Warning: This book contains a LOT of mature content such as strong language, explicit s*x scenes, physical and mental abuse, BDSM, etc.***
 
A must-read for dark fantasy lovers who want to seek wolf shifter paranormal romance content in one go.
