After the death of Lord Alastair Blackthorn, London's most feared crime boss, his estranged son Damien Blackthorn is forced to return and take control of the family empire - Blackthorn Enterprises, a powerful money laundering front masked as a tech and shipping conglomerate. Damien inherits not just power, but enemies. The underworld's balance - held by the Six Pillars of London - begins to crack as rivals test him. Among them, the Virelli Twins (Vanguard) strike first, and Diego Montoya, a Colombian kingpin, plots to dismantle the Blackthorn legacy. Damien responds with calculated violence, earning both respect and fear. To secure alliances, Damien is forced into an arranged marriage with Isadora Langford, daughter of Victor Langford, one of the Pillars. Over time, trust turns to love, and they rise as a feared duo. But when Damien kills Diego, Emilio Montoya returns for revenge. Victor Langford, fearing for his daughter, helps Emilio stage an ambush. Sloane, Damien's assistant, secretly betrays him out of jealousy. Damien barely survives. Left with nothing, Damien rebuilds-reuniting with his former friend Jin Shen and forming a deadly alliance. With Isadora by his side and Langford eventually backing them, Damien returns stronger, destroys Emilio, and reclaims the throne. But now, Damien wants more than London. He wants the world.

Chapter 1 Next of kin

The old man sat at the head of the table, his breath shallow, his voice thinner than it once was-but his eyes, cold and sharp, still ruled the room.

"This will be my last meeting with you," Lord Alastair Blackthorn said.

"Death is already breathing down my neck."

The room remained silent. The same thoughts were running through the heads of the remaining five mafia bosses: Who would be the leader now? Are we going to vote for one of us to take the seat?

"My son will be taking over from me. The next meeting will have him sitting in this chair. Please give him the same respect you would give me."

Murmurs erupted.

"Does he have a son?" Rafe, a Jamaican mob boss, asked his colleague in a hushed tone.

"I heard he had a son, but I don't think he's in the country," another mob boss whispered.

"The old bastard... even at death's door, he still wants control," Victor Langford, an English mafia boss, muttered with a laugh.

"As-" Lord Alastair began, and the room immediately fell silent again.

"As there's nothing else to discuss, the meeting is now adjourned. The ports will be open by this time tomorrow, so you can continue business as usual. Bring your dirty money for me to make clean. That will be all," Lord Alastair Blackthorn said.

He was a London mafia boss who laundered money for top drug lords under the guise of a tech company and port shipments. He stretched out his hand to his assistant, who helped him up and into his wheelchair. The rest of the mafia bosses exited the house.

"Boss, I never knew you had a son," Sloane, his assistant, said.

"Oh, I never told you about my boy?" he asked, more rhetorical than curious. "Well, since he ran away from home eleven years ago, we haven't really communicated-except on his birthdays."

He paused, a flicker of sadness in his eyes.

"He's a good lad. He works in accounting for one of those big companies in China. Now take me to my room, Sloane. I need to sleep."

She wheeled him to his room and helped him onto his bed.

MY MASTERS

Mercy Kay

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
