angst

Princess Yseldra calls me sweet things. She whispers sinful ones. When the king and queen passed, her treatment toward me changed.

Odesse is a human servant whose life changes the night she intrudes on a sacred mating ritual. Taken to the Moonlight Palace by Alpha King Valex, she is kept as his personal servant, a fate no human has ever survived. Worse, she bears the Alpha mark, something believed to be impossible for a human and forbidden by every law of the packs. An unexplainable pull binds Odesse to Valex, drawing her closer to him despite her fear and resistance. Valex, once a powerful king, was dethroned by his brother Malrik after every woman who mated with him died. Though Odesse carries his mark, they do not complete the bond. Whatever ties them together is stronger, darker, and far more dangerous than mating. As Odesse remains in the palace, she is plagued by relentless nightmares that blur the line between reality and illusion, leaving her crying black blood and questioning her sanity. Her suffering leads her to long-buried secrets, including a mysterious figure connected to her mother’s past. With every truth uncovered, Odesse is drawn closer to a destiny she was always meant to discover.

Aysel had spent his entire life being treated as nothing more than a worthless omega—broken, nameless, abused, and forgotten by the world. When he met Alpha Draven he expected nothing but another cruel fate. Alpha Draven had long given up hope of ever finding his mate after decades of searching. Cold, ruthless, and feared by all, he rules his pack with an iron will—until the day a fragile omega collapses in his arms and his wolf recognizes what he had almost stopped believing in. Mate. But fate is cruel. A prophecy foretells a coming war between the werewolf realm and the demon realm, a war that will destroy everything unless a sacrifice is made. And the one destined to be sacrificed… is the Alpha’s mate. Now Alpha Draven must face an impossible choice: Protect the mate he has searched a lifetime for, or lose him to save the world.

BOOK TWO OF THE HAMILTON SERIES WARNING: A Regency Era novel. Adult content with detailed smut…Read at you own risk⚠️⛔️ Genre: Historical Romance / Smut / Enemies-to-Lovers / Mystery / Comedy / Found family [Book Two of the Hamilton Series. Can be read as a standalone, but better enjoyed after Lady Ines’ Scandalous Hobby.] To the world, Duke Rowan Hamilton is the perfect gentleman. But in the bedroom, he is a man possessed. Rowan Hamilton has it all: a Ducal title, the face of a fallen angel, and a smile that makes debutantes faint. He is the "Golden Duke"—charming, responsible, and utterly adored by society. But it’s all a lie. Beneath the coats and polite manners, Rowan is a man haunted by a ghost. For three years, he has remained faithful to the memory of a masked woman who stole a kiss, bested him at a game of chance, and vanished into the night. He doesn't want any one as his wife; he wants her. When his domineering aunt tires of his bachelorhood, she hires London’s most notorious underground matchmaker to force the issue. Enter Miss Delaney Kingsley. She is sharp-tongued, infuriatingly competent, and entirely unimpressed by his title. Her mission? To drag Rowan to the altar with the season’s "Diamond," Lady Celine, within three months to collect the juicy payment Rowan’s aunt had to offer. Rowan intends to fire the meddlesome woman. But when Delaney looks at him with those hazel, intelligent eyes and orders him around like a young lad, he feels the first spark of life he’s felt in years. He decides to play her game. He will let her find him a wife. But he has no intention of choosing anyone even Lady Celine. "You were hired to find me a Duchess, Miss Kingsley. But the only person I want in my duchy and in my bed... is you." As mysteries turn into forbidden nights and the bickering turns into scorching passion, Rowan begins to suspect that his matchmaker is hiding a secret of her own. She moves like a shadow, handles a rifle like a soldier, and tastes exactly like the ghost he’s been hunting for three years. What to Expect: * High Stake Mystery: They try to untangle themselves from the Farrington’s trap. * The Golden Retriever Duke: Who turns into a possessive Alpha behind closed doors. * The Matchmaker Trope: She’s trying to marry him off; he’s trying to take her clothes off. * High Heat: Slow burn that explodes into intense smut. * Competence Kink: He falls harder every time she bosses him around. * Cameos: Featuring the chaotic domestic life of Duchess Ines and Duke Carcel (and their baby Harry!). Excerpt: "Your Grace, please focus," Delaney snapped, adjusting his cravat with efficient, gloved hands. "Lady Celine is waiting in the ballroom. You must look at her as if she is the only woman in the world." Rowan caught her wrist, stopping her movements. He stepped into her space, backing her against the heavy oak door of the study, his "Golden Boy" mask slipping to reveal the hunger beneath. "And how, exactly, does one do that, Miss Kingsley?" he whispered, his voice rough. "Show me." "I—I cannot show you, It I s not in my place to—" "Then teach me," he growled, lowering his head until his lips brushed the sensitive skin of her neck. "Teach me how to pretend I am not burning alive every time you walk into a room."

Bree is dying. Literally. A struggling VTuber, she is stuck at seven viewers on a good day, and the pact she made with a devil named Senne is doing nothing to help. Her chat laughs when she talks about her terminal illness. Chasing trends does not work. Trying to be edgy just makes her look cringe. Meanwhile, Senne is useless. All the devil wants is marmalade on her toast. When she does not get it, she sulks. Worse, she is becoming increasingly jealous and possessive of Bree. Bree is told that gaining more viewers will awaken Senne’s power, though she remains skeptical. Because what for? All Bree wants, before she dies, is to be seen, recognized, and heard for once in her life. After that, the devil can do whatever she wants. But in Bree’s world, attention is never free. The people who laugh at her want her pain as entertainment. The people who comfort her may want something worse. And the devil at her side may be far more dangerous than either of them realize. * A dark psychological urban fantasy about streaming, loneliness, toxic intimacy, and the wrong kind of love. * Now there is an animated trailer!

I don’t need you anymore, I have-” “Who do you have, Nyssa?

She arrives in the city hoping to disappear. After her older brother's sudden death, Katherine leaves behind the only home she has ever known, carrying nothing but grief and the belief that distance might quiet the past. In a place where no one knows her name, she builds a life in silence-working mornings in a small café on the edge of a busy financial district, learning how to exist without being seen. Before she leaves, she finds a hidden box in her brother's room. Inside are letters she was never meant to see. Most of them are simple at first-ordinary words, familiar handwriting, fragments of care she doesn't fully let herself read. She only opens a few before closing the box again, leaving the rest untouched as if keeping them sealed might keep something else from unraveling. In the city, life settles into routine. Early mornings. Familiar faces. The comfort of being unknown. It should be enough. But it isn't. A man begins to pass through her world each day-always at the same time, always just out of reach of notice. He does not speak to her. He does not look at her like she is anything more than part of the background. And she does not recognize him. Not once. And yet, something about his presence begins to linger where memory should be clear. As fragments of her brother's past begin to surface in small, unsettling ways, Katherine starts to understand that distance does not always mean escape-and some things follow you quietly, long after you think you've left them behind.
