Sword Fighting

"I want to hear it from you. I want to watch you look me in the eye and tell me they aren't mine… without looking away even once." I swallowed hard, because the game he was playing was cruel. I knew that the slightest flicker in my expression would feed his suspicions. I lifted my chin, met his gaze without blinking, and spoke slowly, "They. Are. Not. Yours." The muscle in Damian's jaw tightened, and his breath brushed my face, warm and steady. "You've gotten better at this, Harper," he murmured, using my last name like a provocation. "But you're still not that good." "Or maybe you're just hearing what you want to hear," I shot back, fighting the suffocating closeness. "You hate losing. But sometimes, losing is inevitable. Accept it and get out of my life." Stella was desperate. After dropping out of college to pay off the debts her father left behind, all she wanted was a fresh start, even if that meant forging a résumé and swallowing her pride to land a job as the secretary to the ruthless CEO Damian Winter. What she didn't expect was that her new boss would be as irresistible as he was dangerous. Or that a series of sharp provocations and intense encounters would lead to an indecent contract. A secret agreement ruled by power and desire, in which Stella committed to satisfying Damian's every whim, with one single condition: she could never get pregnant. But what would happen when Stella discovered she had broken that rule? Now pregnant and emotionally shattered, Stella learned from the news on TV that Damian was engaged to a wealthy heiress. Hiding the truth seemed like her only option. But secrets would never stay buried forever.

A loud moan escaped my throat as Alessandro slams me against the wall, his hard body pinning me tightly. “Keep fighting, baby,” he growls in a low voice, while sliding his hand under my dress. His Fingers find me soaked, plunging them deep and curling until my hips buck and I cry out. “Your body already knows you’re mine.” “Say it, mia cara. Say you’re mine.” Elara Voss is her family’s dirty little secret, the hidden daughter their dad loved in silence, while her sisters burned her with hate. To bury the shame and seal a massive deal, they force her to marry Alessandro Russo, Vegas’s deadliest mafia don. Her sisters were promised to perfect men. While She got handed over to a monster. But he didn’t just take, he became addicted to her. She became the only one who could calm the rage in him. Only she drives him wild, fantasizing about her mouth on him, swallowing every drop as she trembles and begs drives it to the edge. After he learns how cruelly she was treated by her family, the cold rejections and all of the hidden pain, his obsession turns lethal. “I own you,” he said in a raspy voice one night, his fist in my hair, yanking my head back to meet his burning eyes. “Every breath and every cry, if anyone should as much think of Hurting you again, I’ll make you watch while I tear them apart, piece by piece. Any man who gets close to you, dies screaming.” She then later uncovers his darkest secret, the bloody truth he buried deep underneath. Will it shatter them… or chain her to him forever?

In professional hockey, Omegas are banned. Theo Maren has a secret: he is an Omega, and he must hide it to survive. For six years, Theo has pretended to be a tough Alpha. He uses heavy medicine and strict control to hide his true smell. No one suspects him. Until his worst rival breaks his medicine injector on the ice. Dominic Vale is the league's golden Alpha. He is the captain of the rival team, and he has been obsessed with Theo for years. When Theo's medicine fails during the championship game, Dominic is the only one close enough to smell him. They spend one wild night together. Terrified of what they did, Theo runs away before sunrise. He leaves Dominic with a permanent bite mark on his shoulder and an empty bed. Two years later, Theo comes back to the hockey league. He is colder and quieter now. And he did not come back alone. To protect Theo from a dangerous scandal, Dominic forces him into a secret marriage contract. Publicly, they are still enemies fighting on the ice. Privately, Theo lives in Dominic’s apartment and sleeps in his bed. Theo thinks Dominic just wants to control and protect him. But Dominic wants more. Because Dominic just discovered that the two-year-old boy with Theo’s eyes... also has his Alpha scent. And this time, Dominic refuses to let his mate run away.
