Werewolf

5.0

Ava Cade doesn't believe in monsters only in fire, trauma, and things that don't stop screaming when you wake up. After losing her firefighting team in a blaze she barely escaped, Ava returns to Marrow Ridge, the wooded ghost town she grew up in, hoping to drown her past in silence and whiskey. But the forest has been waiting. When her closest friend dares her past Mile Marker 12, the unofficial border between Marrow Ridge and the off-limits wilderness Ava stumbles on something she can't explain: tracks too large to belong to any known predator, a set of glowing eyes in the darkness, and a primal presence that doesn't just stalk it chooses. Soon, animals go missing. People vanish. Teeth grow where they shouldn't. Ava wakes up in the woods with blood on her hands and no memory of how she got there. The only person who might understand is Elijah Greene, a reclusive ex-ranger who's spent forty years preparing for the Alpha's return the ancient creature that marked Ava's bloodline generations ago. But this thing in the forest isn't just a wolf. It's an inheritance. One that doesn't kill you. It remakes you. As the full moon rises, Ava must confront the truth about her father's disappearance, her own buried instincts, and a lineage rooted not in myth but in selection. Because the Alpha is dying and it's not here to feed.

Bought by Midnight An irresistible billionaire. A desperate woman. One midnight deal that changes everything. When struggling artist Sophia Lane agrees to a mysterious midnight auction, she never expects to be the prize. But when billionaire tech mogul Damon Wolfe places the winning bid-for her-she's thrust into a world of luxury, secrets, and temptation beyond imagination. Damon needs a wife. Not for love-but to fulfill a high-stakes corporate merger. Sophia needs a way out-out of debt, out of her past, and out of her crumbling world. Their contract is simple: one year, one marriage, no emotions. But the lines between business and desire blur with every lingering touch and stolen glance. As passion ignites and their connection deepens, the media storms in, secrets from Sophia's troubled past resurface, and Damon's enemies circle like sharks. What began as a transaction becomes something far more complicated-and far more dangerous. Will their midnight deal end with heartbreak, or is it the beginning of a love that money could never buy?
