North Rose 🌹
Introduction
Ela não estava.
Ela não queria um par. Ela não precisava de um par...
"...mas o repentino cheiro de jasmim e baunilha atingiu seu nariz de algum lugar próximo. Isso significava apenas uma coisa. Seu par estava perto..."
*******************
Rayne conheceu seu par no Baile à Luz da Lua quando tinha dezoito anos, seu par que ela nunca quis encontrar, que nunca quis em sua vida. Ele apareceu do nada. Suas ações naquela noite, sem ela saber, a libertaram. Ela pegou a liberdade que ele lhe deu, fugiu e nunca olhou para trás.
Agora, cinco anos depois, ele reaparece em sua vida depois de tê-la rejeitado cinco anos atrás, exigindo que ela assuma seu lugar legítimo ao seu lado. Ele se afastou dela depois de chamá-la de fraca. De jeito nenhum ela iria simplesmente permitir que ele voltasse para sua vida como se pertencesse lá. Rayne nunca quis um par, ele estando aqui agora mudaria isso? Seu corpo e alma imploram para que ele a reivindique, mas seu coração pertence a outro.
Será que seu par conseguirá convencê-la a lhe dar uma chance? Seu amante conseguirá convencê-la a ficar com ele? A Deusa da Lua a emparelhou com alguém que não era de sua escolha, tudo o que Rayne sempre quis foi a chance de escolher por si mesma. Quem vencerá? Rayne ou o destino que a lua traçou para ela?

Chapter 1
Rayne ficou olhando seu reflexo no espelho. Seu vestido de baile verde-pálido ajustava-se às suas curvas e não deixava muito para a imaginação. Seus cachos negros como a noite estavam presos e presos à sua cabeça, deixando seu pescoço exposto. Esta noite era a noite em que a maioria dos lobos não acasalados de todas as matilhas da América do Norte esperavam encontrar seus pares. Ela tinha certeza de que todos transbordavam de animação.
Ela não estava.
Ela não queria um par. Ela não precisava de um par.
Ela planejava deixar sua matilha para trás. Tornar-se uma loba solitária. Ninguém aqui sentiria sua falta. Ninguém na alcateia Lua de Jade se importava com uma lobinha órfã qualquer. O Alfa apenas permitia que ela ficasse porque era filha de seu antigo Beta. Seus pais foram mortos na última guerra da matilha há dez anos. Ela tinha oito anos na noite em que seus pais morreram. A noite em que sua vida mudou e todos que a amavam foram tirados dela.
Encontrar um par deveria trazer a outra metade de sua alma para sua vida. Ela duvidava seriamente que seria bom. Muito pouco nos últimos dez anos foi bom. Ela nasceu Beta, mas era tratada como uma ômega. Exceto por esta noite. Esta noite, eles a arrumaram para o seu companheiro, se é que ele existia, esperando que ela fosse tirada de suas mãos – ou melhor, que se livrassem dela.
"Rayne, você está aí!" Uma voz gritou da porta para o pequeno e desgastado quarto que ela chamava de quarto.
Ela olhou para ver a filha do Alfa, Bridgette, de pé na porta em seu vestido de baile vermelho sangue justo. Seu rosto coberto de maquiagem, seus lábios vermelhos profundos e seus olhos delineados com delineador preto para realçar seus olhos azuis. Parecia uma prostituta toda maquiada. Apropriado, já que combinava com seu comportamento. Rayne ficaria muito feliz em se afastar de Bridgette.
"Está na hora de ir. Você sabe que o papai odeia esperar, então, anda logo." Sua voz transbordava de maldade.
"Então vamos. Quanto antes a gente chegar lá, antes posso voltar pra cá e seguir com a minha vida," Ela levantou a saia de seu vestido e caminhou até a porta.
"Você quer dizer que quanto mais cedo você pode voltar aqui e limpar essa bagunça e a do meu quarto?" Ela levantou uma de suas sobrancelhas finamente esculpidas e sorriu de lado para Rayne.
Essa garota tem sido uma das piores inimigas de Rayne desde que eram crianças. Seu irmão era gentil com Rayne, e ela odiava isso. Odiava que alguém mostrasse qualquer tipo de afeto a Rayne que ela acreditava que sempre deveria ser dado a ela. Rainha do drama era pouco para ela; era muito mais egocêntrica e narcisista do que qualquer pessoa que Rayne já conhecera. Considerando que ela nunca saiu do território da Lua de Jade, isso não dizia muito.
Rayne olhou diretamente nos olhos dela e deu de ombros. Ela não tinha intenção de voltar aqui esta noite. Ela havia escondido uma bolsa cheia de seus pertences em uma árvore fora dos limites da matilha. Ela sairia da festa após as duas horas obrigatórias, pegaria sua bolsa e deixaria essa vida para trás. Ninguém sequer saberia que ela tinha ido embora até tarde da tarde de amanhã. Até lá, ela já estaria a quilômetros de distância, se tudo corresse bem para ela – pela primeira vez na vida.
Ela sacudiu os pensamentos e seguiu Bridgette pelo corredor que levava à porta do sótão. Elas desceram as escadas para o primeiro andar da mansão do Alfa para encontrar o Alfa Wilson de pé no hall de entrada, encarando-as enquanto desciam as escadas. Ele irradiava poder e raiva por tê-lo deixado esperando. Seus olhos escuros brilhavam com sua raiva. Seu cabelo loiro sujo estava penteado para trás e parecia precisar de uma lavagem. Ele usava um terno cinza carvão escuro que parecia bom. Sua alta estatura estava ligeiramente curvada devido a uma lesão de treino que não sarava. Ele se recusava a deixar os médicos da matilha curá-lo e afirmava que ficaria bem. Já se passaram três semanas e quanto mais o tempo passava, mais irritado ele ficava por não estar se curando tão rapidamente como costumava.
"Finalmente vocês duas desceram. Estou esperando há mais de vinte minutos."
Ela sabia que, se não se apressassem, ganharia um dos hematomas dele pelo resto da noite. Não que ela não estivesse acostumada a ser seu saco de pancadas, mas esta noite ela não seria sua vítima novamente. Rayne estava cansada de ser o bode expiatório desta matilha. Bridgette agarrou seu braço e a puxou para descer os degraus restantes e até Wilson. Até ela tinha medo dele quando estava com raiva. O que ultimamente era o tempo todo. Rayne sabia que esta matilha estaria melhor quando o filho de Wilson, Alec, assumisse, mas não havia como ela esperar aqui para ver isso acontecer.
Rayne endireitou os ombros e se preparou para ir para o salão de baile, onde centenas de lobos de toda a América do Norte estavam circulando, bebendo, dançando e esperando que seus pares os encontrassem. Uma vez por ano, este baile era realizado no território de uma matilha diferente. A cada ano, todo lobo não acasalado se juntaria à festa, esperando encontrar a outra metade de sua alma na forma de seu par.
"Vamos, senhoritas, falta uma hora para a meia-noite, e tenho certeza de que haverá um lobo de sorte naquela sala para cada uma de vocês," Wilson entrou no salão de baile à frente delas, parou por um momento para ver se estavam seguindo-o e, ao ver que o fariam, dirigiu-se ao bar.
Bridgette olhou para ela com aquele sorriso de sobrancelha arqueada, depois se afastou em direção à pista de dança com seu objetivo único. Fazer de si mesma o centro das atenções para que todos os machos na sala a notassem. Isso funcionava perfeitamente para Rayne, já que seu objetivo era se esconder nas sombras até ter certeza de que Wilson estava bêbado e ela poderia escapar da mansão e seguir com seus planos.

Lola Marlowe’s morning-after is a disaster. She’s got a killer hangover, zero memory of Burning Man, and a half-naked, sculpted stranger tied to her bed with her own lavender silk ropes. To make matters infinitely worse, the furious (and frustratingly handsome) “accidental hostage” is Enzo Marchesi, Vegas’s most notorious mafia Don.
For Enzo, this is the ultimate security breach. But the fiery, unpredictable tattoo artist is the most intriguing thing to happen to him in years. To stop his crew from “neutralizing” the threat, he makes an impulsive claim: she’s his fiancée.
Thrust into a world of high-stakes lies and feral attraction, they must navigate rival families and their own explosive chemistry.
One wrong move sparked it. Now neither of them wants out.
The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."
Danielle Harris is the daughter of an overprotective police chief and has led a sheltered life. As a kindergarten teacher, she's as far removed from the world of Harleys and bikers as you could get, but when she's rescued by the sexy and dangerous Austin Carver, her life is changed forever.
Although Austin 'Booker' Carver is enamored by the innocent Dani, he tries to keep the police chief's daughter at arm's length. But when a threat is made from an unexpected source, he finds himself falling hard and fast for the only woman who can tame his wild heart.
Will Booker be able to find the source of the threat before it's too late?
Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?
The Prison Project
Can love tame the untouchable? Or will it only fuel the fire and cause chaos amongst the inmates?
Fresh out of high school and suffocating in her dead-end hometown, Margot longs for her escape. Her reckless best friend, Cara, thinks she's found the perfect way out for them both - The Prisoner Project - a controversial program offering a life-changing sum of money in exchange for time spent with maximum-security inmates.
Without hesitation, Cara rushes to sign them up.
Their reward? A one-way ticket into the depths of a prison ruled by gang leaders, mob bosses, and men the guards wouldn't even dare to cross...
At the centre of it all, meets Coban Santorelli - a man colder than ice, darker than midnight, and as deadly as the fire that fuels his inner rage. He knows that the project may very well be his only ticket to freedom - his only ticket to revenge on the one who managed to lock him up and so he must prove that he can learn to love…
Will Margot be the lucky one chosen to help reform him?
Will Coban be capable of bringing something to the table other than just sex?
What starts off as denial may very well grow in to obsession which could then fester in to becoming true love…
A temperamental romance novel.
After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

This is the story of a border pup who became a goddess by choosing her family; of four imperfect alphas learning how to stay; of cake, iron, and daylight negotiations. Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a reverse harem, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.
Crossing Lines
Noah
I was here to prove myself—
One last shot at football, at freedom, at a future no one ever thought I’d deserve.
And then I met him.
Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.
From the first command, I wanted to fight him.
From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.
But this wasn’t just about the game anymore.
He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…

The same one that called me baby boy in the darkest corners of the internet.

Or just be his.
Aiden

Breaking him down until he begged for what he swore he didn’t need.
This was not supposed to get personal, but every second he disobeyed made me want to claim him harder.
And if he crossed the line…
I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.

After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
Mated by Contract to the Alpha
William—my devastatingly handsome, wealthy werewolf fiancé destined to become Delta—was supposed to be mine forever. After five years together, I was ready to walk down the aisle and claim my happily ever after.
Instead, I found him with her. And their son.
Betrayed, jobless, and drowning in my father's medical bills, I hit rock bottom harder than I ever imagined possible. Just when I thought I'd lost everything, salvation came in the form of the most dangerous man I'd ever encountered.
Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.
