They said my father’s debts died with him. They lied.
One moment I was just Isabella Hart, a nursing student fighting to save my sick mother. The next, I woke up captive inside the Romano mansion, traded like property to pay a blood debt I never knew existed.
The Romano family has four heirs: Marco, the ruthless strategist in a wheelchair; Dante, the charming manipulator; Luca, the silent killer with gentle hands; and Nico, the reckless wild card. Dangerous men who should terrify me… yet each pulls me deeper into their world.
When one touch awakens a secret power inside me the ability to heal I realize I’m no longer just their prisoner. I’m their salvation… and their greatest risk.
But in a world ruled by blood and betrayal, love is weakness. Survival is the only law.

Will I escape the Romanos… or become their captive queen?

They said the Midnight Society was just a campus legend. They were wrong.
One moment I was Emma Stone, a scholarship student struggling to survive among the elite at Blackwood University. The next, I discovered my bloodline made me the key to an ancient ritual that four powerful legacies would kill to control.
The Midnight Society has four heirs: Ryan Cross, the brilliant strategist hiding behind perfect grades; Blake Rivers, the charismatic manipulator who owns the underground scene; Cole Mason, the silent protector with blood on his hands; and Kai West, the reckless rebel who plays by no one's rules. Dangerous men who should be my enemies... yet each draws me deeper into their shadowed world.
When a blood ritual awakens dormant psychic abilities within me, the power to see death before it happens I realize I'm no longer just their target. I'm their salvation... and their destruction.
But in a world where knowledge is currency and secrets are weapons, love is the ultimate betrayal. Survival means playing their game.
Will I escape the Midnight Society... or become their prophesied queen?

I trusted you with my heart, and you threw it away like yesterday's Christmas wrapping!"
Those were my last words before my husband and best friend pushed me off a cliff on Christmas Eve. But when I opened my eyes, I was back in my old bedroom—the day before my wedding. I'd been given a second chance.
This time, I won't marry the man who betrayed me. Instead, I'm teaming up with his biggest business rival: Jake Winters, the mysterious hockey-player-turned-lawyer who everyone says hates Christmas as much as he hates losing.
"Help me ruin my ex-fiancé's Christmas wedding, and I'll give you the business deal of a lifetime," I tell him, standing in my torn wedding dress.
Jake's ice-blue eyes gleam with amusement as he studies the white fabric at my feet. "I can do that. But what else are you willing to offer?"
As Christmas magic fills our snowy town, I discover that the best revenge isn't destruction—it's living well. And maybe, just maybe, finding love with someone who actually sees my worth.
But when my past catches up and strange things start happening around town, I realize my second chance at life might come with a price I never expected to pay.
Some gifts are too good to be true. Some second chances hide deadly secrets. And some Christmas miracles are actually curses in disguise.
Will I get my happily ever after, or will history repeat itself in ways I never saw coming?
