Claimed by the vampire prince

Content Warning: Contains mature themes that may be unsuitable for underaged readers. Excerpt Ragnar finally looked up. His eyes roamed her face, then dropped lower and lingered just a second too long. “Careful, princess. Keep taunting me like that and I’ll start thinking you like our nightly sparring.” “And if I did?” Her voice was soft now. Almost playful. “Would you stop pretending that you don't like it when I challenge you?” He rose from his seat slowly until he stood toe to toe with her. “Tell me something, Circe.” She tilted her chin up. “What?” “If I kissed you right now… Would you slap me, stab me, or kiss me back?” Her breath hitched. “That depends.” “On?” “How good the kiss is.” A pause. Something hummed between them, something neither of them dared name. Ragnar’s gaze dropped to her mouth. “Do you want me to find out?” She smiled, slow and wicked. “Make it worth the risk.” **** She was forced to marry the man who led the attack on her people. After her father is murdered, Circe is forced to leave her home and become a prisoner of the enemy. When she is taken to the enemy territory, she expects to be tortured physically in every way imaginable.

FALLING FOR THE MAFIA KING I WAS SENT TO DESTROY

Valentina Vitale returns to Sicily carrying two masks, her new identity and her hidden badge, because her mission demands both. She has come to dismantle the empire of Enzo Domenico, the ruthless kingpin who has poisoned the island with drugs, violence, and an untouchable network of power. She expects danger, she expects lies, and she is prepared for every form of corruption the underworld can throw at her. What she does not expect is Salvatore Esposito. Salvatore is a mafia heir with a spine of steel and a moral code forged through scars. His reputation precedes him, a silent warning to anyone reckless enough to cross him. Valentina knows he represents everything she has sworn to bring down, yet Domenico's rising ambition soon threatens to crush both of their worlds, forcing them toward an alliance she never planned to make. As she goes undercover and he fights to protect everything he loves, the one truth neither can ignore is that Domenico stands as the enemy of them both. Drawn together by necessity and bound by secrets they cannot reveal, Valentina and Salvatore step into a fragile partnership where every move is a risk, every truth is a weapon, and every moment between them pulls her deeper into a world she was meant to destroy. She wears her cover like armor, but his gaze cuts through her lies with unsettling precision. Enemies but united in their desire to see Domenico fall, they find themselves on a collision course where loyalty can kill and love can undo everything. As Valentina pushes deeper into the heart of this dangerous game, she must decide which threat is greater: the kingpin she came to hunt or the man who might ruin her heart. Because in Sicily, the line between hunter and hunted, between loyalty and love, is far thinner and far deadlier than she ever imagined.

Shackled To The Enemy King

In her past life, he ruined her. In this one, he won’t let her go. In her past life, Princess Katerina was promised to Prince Maximilian, the man she loved… until he betrayed her and destroyed her name beyond repair. When duty demanded it, she married King Dorian to save her people. It was a marriage born of sacrifice, not desire. But Maximilian never let her go. Even after ascending the throne of a rival kingdom, he pursued her relentlessly... not as a lover, but as a hunter. An enemy king. A shadow that followed her across borders and battlefields. A war she could never escape. Because of him, she lost everything. Her name. Her achievements. And the most unforgivable loss of all... her children. She died without ever understanding why he destroyed her… or why he never stopped. Reincarnated into the modern world as Catherine Preston, she wants only one thing: a quiet life. She has wealth, a powerful family that adores her, and a brilliant mind meant for research, not war. This time, she believes merit will protect her. This time, she believes the world is fairer. She is wrong. Traitors circle her once more—stealing her work, erasing her name, cornering her with smiles and contracts. And just as she stands on the edge of ruin… he appears again. Not as her enemy. Not as a king. But as her savior. “Marry me,” Maximilian Whitmore says calmly. “I’ll give you everything you dream of.” Catherine refuses. She will not trust the man who destroyed her once already. But fate has other plans. A curse. A bond. A shackle she cannot break. The only way to ease the curse… is intimacy with the man she despised. Bound once more to the enemy king of her past life, Catherine must face a terrifying question: Does Maximilian truly not remember what he did… or is he hiding the truth behind those unreadable eyes? And when King Dorian returns in this life, offering her peace and safety… Two men. Two pasts. One woman who remembers everything. In a world where names mean power and love is a battlefield, was Maximilian her greatest enemy… or the truth she was never meant to uncover? A reincarnation romance of obsession, betrayal, fate-bound love, and painful second chances. #A heart-throbbing reincarnation romance filled with obsession, power, betrayal, and fate-bound love. #Enemies to lovers. Soul shackles. Overbearing kings. Painful second chances. #Slowburn romance. Update will be once a day and there will be bonus chapters if we reach milestones. Hope you'll join me in this journey.

First Intergalactic Emperor: Starting With The Ancient Goddess

WARNING- Contains Mature Themes and Contents! Xavier was a poor, bullied loser who got beaten for fun, ignored like trash, and laughed at like he wasn’t even human. Living at the bottom of society. No power, no money, no future. That changed the day a ancient goddess responded to his prayers and made him a God. Now armed with the Unlimited Money System, Xavier can buy anything. His balance is infinite. Money rains when he speaks. He can buy power, respect, empires, cities, loyalty, fear—anything. If it exists, he can afford it. To unlock his true power as a God, Xavier must gather the fragments of the fallen goddess—each one hidden across galaxies, buried in ancient vaults, or locked behind wars, politics, and secrets. Every piece brings him closer to rewriting reality itself. He could absorb the powers hidden inside beautiful women, each more dangerous—and alluring—than the last. From humiliating the rich elite to breaking into galactic vaults, from building a harem of deadly wives to rewriting the rules of interstellar war… Xavier’s path to legend has no brakes. Follow Xavier as he rises from nothing, and becomes not only the richest man in the universe—but also the most feared. *_+_+_+_* Note- This is a harem novel, but the focus is on Xavier’s revenge and rise—not just the girls. Romance happens naturally. No rape, no ntr, no yuri. The system won't be giving quest like fuck this girl and fuck that girl. But if Xavier wants to seduce a girl he likes, the system will help him by giving relevant quests. This is a sci-fi novel and there is mention and presence of gods and all, but they are already classified as highly intelligent extraterrestrial beings. I have also included fantasy races like vampires, dragons, werewolves, elves, etc. as a species of space. I won't be spoiling more than that. I just wanted you guys to know what you were getting into before you read this novel, and what to expect from it. If you’re here for a ruthless anti-hero—he arrives after Chapter 16. Xavier starts naive and kind, shaped by a peaceful village life. But once the world shows its true face… he changes.
