Shadow -Bound
Shadow-Bound Lyra is no Prophecy Bride. She's a cynical rogue wolf, a master of deception, hired to do one thing: destabilize the desperate Sunstone Pack. They believe she is the "Unmarked One," destined to restore the sacred, failing Sunstone Crystal and save their lineage. Her plan was flawless until the moment she met Alpha Kaelen. The handsome, young Alpha sees through her silks and her smile instantly. When they touch in the ceremonial claim, the Crystal doesn't ignite; it flat lines. And in a shared, chilling whisper, Kaelen reveals his terrifying ultimatum: he knows she's a fraud, and now she must choose between immediate exposure by his treacherous rivals, or entering a mutual deception with the only man who can execute her. Trapped in a gilded lie, Lyra must now pretend to be the salvation of a pack that is actively hunting her secrets. As political enemies close in and the mountain's magic dies, Lyra and Kaelen are forced to navigate a lethal alliance of forced proximity and forbidden intrigue. The Sunstone is failing. The Prophecy is a lie. But the most dangerous truth might be the escalating tension between the rogue and the Alpha, bound by a secret that could save their world or see them both destroyed.
Obsidian Heart
Ten years ago, Rocco Valeriano made a choice. He chose the crown of a crime boss over the innocent light of his first love, Eliza Hawthorne. He forced her to run, believing it was the only way to save her from the darkness that consumed him. Now, she's back, an acclaimed artist unwittingly stepping into the crosshairs of a city still echoing with the Valeriano name. Rocco, the ruthless and enigmatic head of the Valeriano family, rules his empire with an iron fist and a heart forged in shadows. But Eliza's return shatters his carefully constructed world, exposing the raw vulnerability he thought long buried. He'll stop at nothing to protect her, even if it means dragging her back into his orbit, controlling her life with velvet chains, and becoming the monster she always feared Eliza, fierce and independent, resists his possessive power at every turn. She wants her freedom, her art, and a life untouched by his dangerous world. Yet, as threats from rival families close in, she finds herself trapped in a gilded cage of his making, forced to confront the impossible truth: the only man who can keep her safe is the one who broke her heart, and the only way to survive might be to surrender to the darkness within his 'Obsidian Heart.' Can two souls, irrevocably changed by fate and choice, find redemption amidst a storm of violence, loyalty, and a love that refuses to die? Or will their dangerous game consume them both, leaving only ashes where a burning passion once stood?
