He pretends to be my boyfriend, but a man as cold-hearted as Lorenzo Moretti is not built for high society and will never receive my father's approval. Worse, he's getting too close to my secrets, my heart, and the seemingly perfect life I've built.

I’m used to getting all sorts of fan mail — but a spellbook? After an incident on tour leaves me cooped up in my penthouse apartment, on 'vocal rest' for the unforeseen future with only my grumpy pet cat for company this weekend, I’m desperate for a distraction. At my manager’s suggestion, I do something I haven’t done in ages: I go through my fan mail. There was enough of it to keep me occupied until she comes back on Monday… but I only get through one bag before I find a package addressed to me. To me. Not my stage name. Not the name I’ve gone by since I was sixteen, but my real name.

They say Lance Knight bathes in blood money. That he's the devil who keeps my brother's empire running. The enforcer who can kill with just his bare hands. I should be terrified when he becomes my shadow. Instead, I'm burning for the monster assigned to protect me. (Ten years of forbidden fantasies are finally within reach.) Then the nightmares tear through me. His name rips from my throat in the dark. And suddenly he's there—all raw power and deadly grace.

Elyna thought she had finally escaped her past. Running from a dangerous MC, she found refuge with the Iron Vultures and in the arms of their ruthless president, Bones. For eight months, she lived a lie—wrapped in his leather, sleeping in his bed, believing she was safe. Believing he loved her. But secrets have a way of surfacing. When her past is exposed, Bones doesn't ask questions. He doesn't listen. He marks her. He brands her. And he sends her back to the very men she ran from. Left for dead, broken beyond repair, Ely swears one thing: if she survives, she will burn it all down.

I was supposed to end the Irish devil who's haunted my family's empire. Not crave his touch. Not beg for more when he pins me down and demands my surrender. One clean strike was all I needed. Instead, I'm trapped against his bedroom wall at midnight, my assassin's mask torn away, his hungry green eyes drinking in every inch of me. "I'll let you live," he whispers, his breath hot against my throat. "But every time you fail to kill me, you'll spend the night doing exactly what I say." I should have driven my blade into his black heart. Instead, I made a deal with the devil himself.

There's only one thing my inner panther and I agree on. This gorgeous woman, whose thighs I'd happily die between, is my mate. And I will protect her at all costs. Ideally, in my bed. But my fated mate has a magic that even she doesn't know about. The ability to see into shifters' souls and discover their true nature. And that hidden power puts her in the sights of enemies with mysterious magic of their own.

Dragonis Academy makes rulers or weapons, and I don't need a crown to prove myself. My plan is to enter the academy, march into Shadowcarve, and sharpen the blade my father always wanted.

One night extends into two, then three. I’m beginning to suspect I can’t leave. But every time I raise questions, he answers with offers impossible to resist. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell if I’m just paranoid or a pawn in a much larger game.

I may have been born into the Mafia underworld, but I left all that behind me, and I never looked back. Until I got the call I’d been dreading. Now, I’m nothing but a sacrifice. A pawn for my father and the man I’m being forced to marry. They call him Priest. But it’s not because he’s a holy man. Priest Andriani is a gorgeous sinner. A cruel devil. A corrupt angel in a designer suit. My biggest weakness, my tormentor, my greatest fear. The husband I’ll do anything to destroy. Unless he ruins me first.

Shadows twist around the ancient walls of Shadowcarve Academy—part fortress, part labyrinth of secrets. Last year, I barely survived its brutal trials, but I left with more than scars: three men, bound to me in a once-in-a-lifetime connection that feels ripped from a fairy tale. And then there's the legendary red egg—coveted by countless students for centuries—and somehow it chose me. But survival here always comes at a price.
