When the Hale empire collapses under corruption charges, twenty-six-year-old Isla Hale becomes collateral damage. Her father faces prison, their fortune is gone, and every door in London slams shut. The only man with enough power to save him is the one who ruined him, Alexander Ward, her father’s former partner and sworn enemy. Alexander agrees to erase the debt, but his price is personal. One year. Under his roof. Under his control. Isla signs the contract out of loyalty, but soon realizes she’s trapped in something far more complicated than revenge. Alexander is cold, calculated, and brutally honest, yet the man she’s supposed to hate is also the first to treat her like an equal mind. Their clashes become the only thing that feels real in a life built on lies. As the months pass, the balance shifts. Isla learns the ruthless world Alexander moves through... boardrooms, betrayals, negotiations that feel like battles. He teaches her to fight, to read power, to stop apologizing. Somewhere between fury and fascination, the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. Then the contract leaks to the press. Overnight, Isla is branded as the CEO’s mistress and Alexander as a monster. Her father resurfaces, spinning the story to destroy them both and reclaim his position. The empire she thought she wanted to protect turns against her. But Isla isn’t the naïve girl who walked into Alexander’s office a year ago. She takes control, exposes her father’s crimes, and risks everything to clear Alexander’s name. In the process, she proves that she’s not a pawn in anyone’s game... not even his. When the dust settles, Alexander offers her freedom. She chooses to stay. Not because of the deal. Because she’s no longer his rival’s daughter. She’s his partner.

"You don’t get a choice, little omega. You belong to us now." Elara has always been sheltered—protected by her father, kept pure, untouched. But when his debts to the brutal Bloodmoon Pack come due, he offers her as payment: a virgin omega sold to four ruthless Alpha wolves. Kael – The merciless Alpha Prime. His word is law, and his hunger for her is relentless. Riven – The cold, calculating strategist. He watches, waits, and plans his claim. Jax – The wild, untamed enforcer. Rough hands, rough words, and a possessiveness that borders on madness. Lucian – The seductive, dangerous rogue. His touch is a poison she craves. They are monsters in the form of men, and they want her—not just as a possession, but as their mate. Now, Elara is trapped in a world of dark desire, primal instincts, and brutal passion. She’s theirs to claim, to protect… and to ruin. But when her heat hits, will she fight them—or beg for more? Why You’ll Love It: Virgin Omega x Four Dominant Alphas – No choosing, no sharing—just complete possession. Dark Romance – Forced marriage, primal instincts, and a heroine who doesn’t know how much she’ll crave their touch. Possessive, Obsessive Heroes – They don’t just want her body—they want her soul.

Nova Celestia, after her brutal heartbreak three years ago, swore she would never get involved with any man again. Her walls became so high, even she had forgotten the woman she used to be. But her defenses are challenged by a mysterious force: Aaron William Laurent, heir to the richest and oldest European family, who is hiding his identity to uncover those siding with his uncle and brother within the company. Aaron is cold, brutal, cruel, and morally twisted. He doesn’t pray. He doesn’t beg. He does whatever he must to get what he wants. Until her, he never desired any woman. Nova finds herself trapped in the twisted inheritance game of the Laurent family — and something even bigger: darker secrets all connected to the man who looks at her as if she is his only compass. One drunk night, one kiss, one confession, and desire changes the trajectory of their lives. “Forget what happened that night. We were drunk,” she says coldly. “Forget it? No, Princess. You can rewrite that night a million times, and I refuse to forget how I marked you,” he says, holding her jaw. Nova doesn’t know she has become the object of desire — the obsession — of the very Young Master everyone warned her not to defy. Blood, betrayal, sacrifice, fear, desire, forbidden fruit, and love so intense that even lifetimes would bend to bring them back together. “Take my everything. I will beg. I will pray. I will sacrifice every part of me. Just give her back to me, please.” And love made the man who never believed in God — who never knelt before anyone — fall to his knees under the sky, begging for the only woman who makes sense of his life.

Artis Hart never expected to see Ethan Brewer again. On Christmas Eve in 2009, they nearly had something. But it ended before it began. Now eight years later, when an accident lands Artis in the hospital and Ethan at her bedside, old feelings resurface quickly and so do the doubts that tore them apart. He remembers the way things ended. She remembers the hurt. Neither of them is sure if the timing is finally right, or if history is about to repeat itself. Told through dual perspectives and timelines, Christmas Lights traces the fragile line between first love and second chances. Artis and Ethan must decide whether the bond they once shared can survive the truth of who they’ve become. +++ Hii, Kai here. So "Christmas Lights" is a pretty atypical book (especially on Webnovel) because each chapter only has a maximum of 100 words. But you are in for a ride because less words = more emotions pumped into them. This is a work I am very proud of and wrote during a difficult period in life. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I've been writing professionally for 10 years and now I'm on Webnovel to practice consistency. I'm not that good with writing blurbs but I can assure you that my writing is great. It'll be wonderful if you decide to give me and my books a chance. If you liked the story, consider adding the book to your library and leaving a review. You can also contact me via my socials.

Sera Kim is everything the campus adores: bright, cheerful, and impossibly warm—a living “Sunshine” whose laughter fills the halls of Seorim University. But the girl everyone sees is only a mask. Beneath the warmth and playful charm lies Seraphina Vale, a brilliant, cold, and calculating young woman who has already graduated early from another college. Every choice she’s made, every step she’s taken, has been for one purpose: Julian Lee. Julian is the young, stoic, and enigmatic economics professor whose perfection commands respect and inspires awe. He is disciplined, sharp, and untouchable—but Sera has loved him openly for years. Unlike ordinary crushes, her affection is fearless and unapologetic—so visible that everyone on campus knows, yet so profound that no one can truly understand its depth. In her final year, Sera no longer hides behind subtle admiration. She expresses her love boldly, laughing in class, lingering near him, and letting the world witness her devotion. Julian remains unreadable, neither reciprocating nor rejecting, but his quiet attention keeps hope alive. Beneath the Sunshine is a story of love, identity, and courage—where the radiant persona of Sera Kim conceals the strength and depth of Seraphina Vale. It’s a tale of loving openly, pursuing relentlessly, and daring to stand in the light of someone’s gaze without fear. Will her unwavering devotion melt Julian’s cold exterior, or will it remain an unrequited passion that defines her final year?

Kyoto never sleeps. It hums—a restless animal of politics, money, and secrets. And in the Hanabira Teahouse, where weak men come to pretend they have power, one woman owns the room without ever pretending. Ren. Men don’t come to see her beauty. They come to be defeated by it. Every step is a challenge. Every glance, a dare. Her laugh slashes through conversations like a blade dipped in perfume. She is the lotus that refused to drown in mud. Years ago, a child sat beside the Shirakawa River waiting for parents who never returned. A game of hide and seek, they said. The silence that followed carved something feral into her bones. Silence is erasure. Silence is death. So Ren learned to survive by being impossible to ignore. Tonight, the teahouse glows with lanterns and gold-painted illusions. The air reeks of sake, incense, and desperation. Ren lounges on the raised platform, dripping in silk and arrogance, entertaining lords who laugh too loudly at jokes she doesn’t bother to finish. She controls the room with noise, wit, and spectacle. Then the door slides open. A man enters—silent. Not timid. Not intimidated. Just silent. Captain Kageyama. A soldier who carries war in his posture and exhaustion in his eyes. He moves like a man who has seen too many bodies and feels nothing about it anymore. Ren targets him immediately. He doesn’t even look at her. Instead, he walks past the hurricane of colors and selects Haru, the quiet girl by the corner. Haru bows timidly, flustered. Ren’s smile freezes. "He ignored me." For the first time in years, Ren feels the cold sting of invisibility. Her heart hammers with an old, unwelcome fear — the riverside silence. She refuses to let that happen again. Fine. If the soldier wants peace, she will invade it. If he wants silence, she will shatter it. Because no one ignores Ren. Not without consequence.

To the world, Princess Ilaria of Caelwyn is a bride of duty. To her heart, she is a woman desperately chasing the love of the husband who will not look her way. All she ever wanted was for him to care; for him to turn his gaze toward her with the same fervor she carried in her heart. No matter how many times he pushed her away, no matter how cold the silence between them became, she never gave up. Not once did she allow herself to see him as someone unworthy of her love. To her, he was always worth it. And when love at last took root, when it bloomed against every storm that tried to tear them apart; when two hearts finally found each other and dared to beat as one...fate, as cruel and merciless as it is, reminded them that there were forces even love could never conquer. --EXCERPT-- Levan pressed his lips to her temple, his lips trembling as though the kiss itself might shatter him. One hand cradled her face with the kind of gentleness he had never shown anyone, while the other threaded weakly through her hair, trying futilely to soothe the sobs wracking his wife's body. His breath break unevenly, his eyes were shut tight, as if by closing them he could pretend this moment would never come. As if the world might let them stay this way forever. As if the reality of it all could be discarded just so that they could live however they wanted. He let his mouth fall against her cheek and linger there, tasting the salt of her tears as though they were his own. He did not move for a long while...because if this sorrow was the final piece of her he was allowed to carry, he wanted to etch it into his very soul. He wanted to remember the way she shook in his arms. He wanted to remember the sound of her muffled cries. He wanted to remember the warmth of her skin pressed so desperately against him. He wanted to remember her as his wife; his beloved. "Live, my love," he whispered, his voice raw and breaking, the words choking out of him like a prayer he could barely force past his throat. He buried his face against her hair so she would not see the tears spilling freely down his cheeks. "Even if it's far from me…live." --×-- >> Tags: [soft comfort • fluff • slow-paced *very* • angst • sweet • romance • slow burn • comedy • fantasy] >> Here if you like SLOW BURN angsty romance. >> Main conflict starts wayyy later. >> Word count per chapter: 1.5k ~ 2.3k

With the weight of several worlds on her shoulders as a prophetess in the making, Zory has no interest in being slowed down by anything or anyone. When the number of targets on her back shifts from growing by the day to rising by the hour, her people quickly prove they're ready to start pulling some of the most ridiculous stunts of all time to protect her. She isn't the only one being haunted by her past lives as a phoenix and the only man who can truly understand can't seem to get her to level with him for so much as a second. With both her life and her legacy repeatedly on the line, Zory isn't interested in playing by anyone's rules but her own. With a new war on the horizon and unprecedented powers at her disposal, Zory feels obligated to stick to her guns on being the first line of defense in Zayin. As the bodies pile up around her, will she have it in her to stop a war faster than she may end up starting one? In a battle royale of seers from higher classes of beings, it doesn't help when the supernatural, paranormal and mythical beings under her jurisdiction as a proxy know so very little about life beyond their own world. The fact that the man who claims she's the love of his every life doesn't know how to take no for an answer isn't helping anything either.
