THE LUNA'S VENGEFUL REBORN

Werewolf

5.0

Selene Blackwood was the perfect Luna, loyal, obedient, and devoted to her Alpha and her pack. Until the day she was stripped, branded, and executed as a traitor... all at the command of the mate who once swore to protect her: Alpha Kael. Betrayed by her best friend. Condemned by her people. Cast into the cursed forest to die alone. Selene's end should have been final. But death isn't the end when the Moon Goddess intervenes. Resurrected five years in the past and burned with the memory of betrayal, Selene awakens in her younger body, with her knowledge intact and her rage sharpened to a blade. She's no longer the soft Luna desperate for affection. She is reborn as a weapon. This time, she's not begging Kael to choose her. She's going to destroy everything he chose instead. Kael, unaware of what he's lost, or what's coming feels the shift. The mate bond he once discarded begins to torment him. The sweet, submissive Selene he knew was gone. And the woman who's returned is colder, smarter, and utterly beyond his control. To survive this time, she'll need more than vengeance. She'll need allies, including Lucian Thorne the cunning rival Alpha who offers protection with one hand... and maybe war with the other. The mate bond can't be broken. But it can be weaponized. And Selene intends to strike first.

NO STRINGS, JUST LIES

Romance

5.0

Emery Caldwell has only two priorities: her two-year-old son, Noah, and staying safe from the demons of her past. Once manipulated by Caleb, her son's charming but dangerous father, Emery rebuilt her life with walls no one could scale. Her job in crisis media management keeps her surrounded by the damage she can contain. But when Rhyland Ward moves into her high-security building, guarded, enigmatic tech mogul with his dark past the walls begin to crack. Sparks fly, but Emery has no intention of letting romance into her fragile world. To secure an investment Rhyland proposes a fake engagement to Emery. As public figures, visibility could be their shield. Together, they perform a life of luxury, intimacy, and stability all for the camera. But behind closed doors, they navigate trauma, trust, and simmering attraction. Emery is terrified of loving, of losing, of needing someone again. That is until Caleb resurfaces with a threat. One photo. One message. And Noah is gone. Rhyland doesn't hesitate. He mobilizes resources, burns bridges, and joins Emery in the hunt. When they recover Noah, it's clear: this isn't over. Caleb isn't working alone. Someone bigger, more connected, is playing a long game and they've marked Emery's family as targets. But the deeper they go into the ruse, the more real it feels. Rhyland becomes Noah's protector. Emery becomes his sanctuary. And the lies they tell the world become the truths they hide from each other. Meanwhile, the threat evolves. A symbol appears. Then a second. Clues point to something beyond Caleb, a shadow network with ties to Rhyland's early business dealings. As enemies close in, secrets unravel. Emery must decide if she can forgive Rhyland's past, even while her own catches up. Rhyland chooses between control and vulnerability because love isn't a tech problem he can solve. It's a risk he has to take. In the end, survival won't be enough. They'll have to choose each other.
