Alicia Eden is twenty-two years old and drowning quietly. She is a nursing student, a hotel cleaner, a daughter, and the invisible thread holding her family together. Her mother is seriously ill and the medical bills are growing. Her brothers Daniel and Samuel work themselves to exhaustion. Her father occupies the armchair and offers nothing. Alicia moves through every day carrying what was never supposed to be hers to carry.On one ordinary evening, while cleaning a ballroom in the luxury hotel where she works, Alicia is approached by Henry Collins — personal assistant to Alexander Hayes, one of the most powerful men in the city. Henry makes her an offer: two thousand dollars to accompany his employer to a family dinner as a fake date, for one night only. Alicia agrees. Not because she wants to. Because her mother's medication costs more than her account holds.At the dinner, Alicia quickly understands she is not there as company. She is there as evidence — a body placed beside Alexander to silence rumors his family has been circulating about his personal life. She performs her role. She endures the cruelty of the room. She takes the money and walks away believing it is over.It is not over.When her mother's condition worsens and the cost of the procedure she needs becomes impossible to ignore, Alicia accepts a second arrangement — a formal family function. There, surrounded by the full weight of Hayes family expectation, Alexander makes an announcement nobody anticipated. He introduces Alicia to the room as his fiancée.Without asking her.What begins as a transactional arrangement between two people from opposite worlds slowly becomes something neither of them planned for. As Alicia moves deeper into Alexander's world she encounters something she has never had — legacy, structure, and a family, however flawed, where people show up. And Alexander, for the first time, encounters someone who is not afraid of him.The story follows their careful, resistant, inevitable movement toward each other — complicated by family politics, board room power struggles, class differences, and the slow unraveling of two people who have both spent their lives performing strength rather than allowing themselves to need anything.At its heart, this is a story about a girl who grew up in absence learning what it means to be chosen. And a man who has everything learning what it means to truly see someone.

Feather Hayes has spent years trapped in a marriage that feels more like a cage than a home. Her husband’s cruelty has stripped her of everything but the will to survive. One storm‑soaked night, she finally runs — barefoot, bleeding, and desperate — into the woods that border her forgotten town. But the forest isn’t empty. Two men find her there. Both impossibly beautiful. Both dangerous. Both not entirely human. One is Ronan, a brooding alpha whose power hums beneath his skin like thunder. The other is Cael, his rival — wild, magnetic, and untamed as the moon itself. Each claims her scent, her soul, her fate. Each insists she was born to be his. Feather doesn’t know whether to run or surrender. The wolves see her as their salvation, but she’s still learning how to save herself. As secrets unravel and the pack’s ancient curse awakens, she must decide whether love can heal what violence destroyed — or whether passion this primal will consume her whole. In a world where the moon chooses who you belong to, Feather may discover that freedom comes with claws.

I don't remember much of my life before what I am now. A re-occurring nightmare of violence, pain and darkness greets me every so often to remind me of the fact that I was once something beyond what I am now. The loom of a big metal grill, the crunch of cement as the vehicle hopped the curb. The sickening crunch of an impact and then the tell tale thump thump, thump thump... as the wheels bounced over a broken tattered form. Heart rending pain then stillness. No wailing sirens, no screaming people. Such solitude. Did I die? Where am I? Is anyone there???? I'm scared. Please can anyone answer me?? Silence and darkness. Is this all the after life is? Empty loneliness? Will I go mad? Please! There has to be someone! Anyone! Please! I'm scared! Nothing. I'm alone. . . . . . . ~ Crack ~ A sound?! I'm not alone! HELLO! Answer me please! Who's there?! ~ CRACK ~ ~ CRACK ~ What is that? Is that light? I CAN SEE! Wait. What the hell is this? Is that me? No... No way.... I'm a dungeon?! note: Cover art isn't mine, should the owner require me to remove it i shall comply. note 2: This is a little bit of inspiration that came while reading Wolfick's Illicitious Dungeon, go give that one a read!

Before Feng Yi ascended the throne, no one wanted to marry this prince who lacked presence and was out of favor. After his ascension, the harem was filled with the daughters of high-ranking court officials. They were an eyesore to look at and vexing to deal with. He felt that even favoring them would defile his own dragon body. He decided to choose a woman with a fiery, arrogant, domineering, and jealous nature to enter the palace, to cast all this "trash" into the Cold Palace on his behalf. Song Yunzhao had transmigrated to ancient times for fourteen years, all the while laying low and just trying to get by. She was just waiting for the plot to begin, then she would transform into a villainess—arrogant, domineering, fiery, and jealous—so that she would be rejected from the selection and could then choose a husband to live a carefree and happy life with. Later, Song Yunzhao watched as His Majesty smiled at her with immense indulgence and said, "Zhaozhao, come here." Song Yunzhao immediately felt that something was terribly wrong, a chill running up from the soles of her feet. The damned Emperor wore a gentle expression, but his eyes were as cold as ice; he clearly wanted to use her as his blade!
