Princess Isolde has spent her life trapped behind castle walls, dreaming of freedom. She never imagined her escape would lead her into a far darker cage. Abducted by Vorlag, an ancient vampire who has watched her from the shadows for months, Isolde awakens in Blackwood Castle, a place forgotten by time and impossible to escape. Vorlag wants more than her blood. He wants her obedience, her devotion, and eventually, her eternity. But Isolde refuses to become another broken thing in his collection. And as secrets stir within the castle walls and something strange awakens in her blood, Vorlag may discover that the princess he intends to make his queen could become something far more dangerous. He gave her a week to surrender. She intends to use it to escape.

Ian Geller knows three things better than most: cars, winning, and taking things from people who deserve to lose them. By night, Ian and his two best friends rule the underground racing scene, where engines scream, money changes hands, and one bad decision can cost more than a pink slip. But racing is only half the game. Hidden beneath the bets, modified cars, and Ian's cocky grin is a business no one is supposed to know exists. Ian, Jackson, and Miles steal from powerful people who have built their fortunes by destroying everyone beneath them. They're careful. They're good. And no one has ever found them. Until a Suzuki Hayabusa rolls into a car meet. Adeline Hughes isn't there to race. She's there for Ian. Five-foot-two, dangerously smart, and capable of making a motorcycle do things Ian would rather not witness from the passenger seat, Adeline comes with one simple demand: give back what he stole from her brother. Ian has absolutely no intention of doing that. Unfortunately, Adeline's brother isn't the kind of man who forgives a debt, forgets a face, or lets someone walk away with something that belongs to him. Adeline knows exactly what will happen if he discovers who's responsible. Ian thinks he can outrun the consequences. Adeline knows better. But the longer she stays tangled in Ian's world of illegal races, high-stakes gambling, stolen secrets, and questionable decisions, the harder it becomes to tell which one of them is actually in more danger. Because some bets cost money. Some cost blood. And Ian Geller may have just bet his life.

Jade Morgan died the same night her stepbrother did. At least, that's how Libby tells it. Now twenty-two, beautifully unhinged, and armed with a baseball bat, a pocketful of knives, and absolutely nothing left to lose, Libby sits at the head of The Misfits, the same twisted empire her brother once tried to escape. Above ground, the carnival glows. Below it, the real fun begins. Sex. Drugs. Money. Violence. Every dirty secret has a price, and Libby has killed her way high enough to know exactly where the bodies are buried. Then there's Sid. Twenty-nine. Silver-haired. Quiet. Dangerous. And perhaps the only person fucked up enough to look at Libby and see something worth loving. Together, they're obsessive, volatile, toxic, and entirely wrong for anyone except each other. Libby didn't come to the circus to be saved. She came to run it. And the show is just getting started.

Shortlisted in Muse Awards. "He thought he was the hunter. He didn't know she had nothing left to lose." Trapped within the dark, looming walls of Vaelhorst Palace, Aethelgard is a captive surrounded by enemies. Her survival depends entirely on the mercy of Malakor-a ruthless, hyper-vigilant Dark Lord whose very name strikes terror across the kingdoms. Separated from everything she knows by the treacherous, ink-black waters of The Mourning Tides, escape seems completely impossible. But Malakor underestimates the girl in his shadows. Before sending her to the Dark Lord, the sinister witch known as Pale Marrow ripped away Aethelgard's emotions, leaving her completely hollow. Malakor expects a terrified prisoner, but instead, he faces a mind completely untethered by fear, panic, or mercy. As a dangerous, slow-burn game of wit and proximity unfolds between captive and captor, the lines between hatred and curiosity begin to blur. Aethelgard must use her cold, emotionless clarity to dismantle Malakor's court from the inside-before the magic fades and her feelings come rushing back. A dark fantasy romance filled with royal intrigue, psychological tension, and a toxic power dynamic that will burn down an empire.

They were ripped out of my mind. I woke up to a man holding my hand, whispering how much he loved me. Lev. Everyone says he's a saint. That I'm lucky that a perfect guy stuck by me-through the alcoholism, the depression, the accident. The doctors promised a full recovery. It isn't happening. And deep down, I know it isn't because of the amnesia. Because why does my skin crawl every time Lev smiles? When he locks the bedroom door at night? Everyone has the exact same story for that Tuesday. A late dinner. Me driving out to pick up a limited-edition vinyl. And then... the accident. It all sounds too smooth. Too rehearsed. And the only piece missing? My story. But remembering might just be worse than forgetting. My mother dodges the question. Aleksandr, my best friend, won't look me in the eye when I ask, shutting down the second I bring it up. Lev built a cage and called it a home. He is just waiting for me to settle back into his darkness. Because that's what happens to girls like me. We stay quiet. We obey. And then we disappear.

Growing up, all she ever wanted was a normal life- to go to school, learn, make friends, and experience the world beyond her front door. But her father believed the outside world would corrupt her, so he kept her inside the house for most of her childhood, convinced he was protecting her from a broken society. Everything changed when Nathan came into her life. For the first time, she found love, hope, and the future she had always dreamed of. She finally believed she was building the ordinary life she had been denied. Then a new president was elected. As her country slowly unravels, she watches in real time as everything she once believed in begins to disappear. Rights are stripped away one by one. Freedoms vanish under the promise of "security." Neighbors turn against each other while many refuse to believe anything is wrong until it's far too late. Women are among the first to lose their place in society, rapidly being reduced from equal citizens to second-class people with fewer rights, fewer opportunities, and little control over their own lives. Those who speak out are branded terrorists. Those who stay silent hope the nightmare will pass. Most are simply too afraid to risk everything. With every new law and every executive order, the government tightens its grip on the nation. As the life she fought so hard to build slips away, she must decide whether staying silent will keep her safe- or whether speaking up is worth risking everything. The Good Wife Act is a chilling story about the slow collapse of democracy- not through one dramatic event, but through one law, one signature, and one act of silence at a time. It is a story about love, fear, denial, and the devastating cost of realizing the truth only after your freedom is already gone.
