breathless

The Dark Forest is a place of whispers and nightmares, where few dare to tread—and even fewer survive. For Silas, the feared and unyielding Lykan King, it is just another hunting ground. But on a night when the air is thick with the scent of blood and fear, he finds her. A defiant, breathless beauty running for her life, chased by werewolves bent on her destruction. Silas doesn’t ask who she is or why they want her dead. All he knows is that she’s his. From the moment their eyes meet in the shadows, something ancient and primal takes root in his soul. He will protect her at any cost, even as she fights to escape his grasp. But she’s not just fleeing her pursuers—she’s running from a force far darker, a nightmare that even Silas’s strength may not be enough to face. And as her secrets slowly unravel, so does his iron will. He becomes consumed, his obsession burning hotter with every moment she remains just out of reach. Danger closes in from all sides, and enemies from his past rise to claim what they believe is theirs. But Silas doesn’t share. She is his mate, his salvation, and his greatest weakness. To protect her, he’ll risk his kingdom, his life, and the savage beast that roars within him. Because in the end, no one escapes the Lykan King—not even the one he would die to save.

I knelt before him, fear etched on my face as tears streamed down my cheeks. His dark, sinister eyes gleamed with pleasure, feeding off my misery. He grasped my hair in a rough fist, wiping away my tears with his other hand before licking them off his fingers. His grin widened, twisting his face into a cruel smile. "You taste so good, little witch," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "Come." With a cruel tug on my hair, he dragged me upward, forcing me to cling to him for balance. His lips crashed onto mine, demanding entrance. I pressed my mouth shut in defiance, but he yanked my hair back, sending a jolt of pain through me. As I gasped, his tongue slipped past my lips, claiming my mouth in a brutal kiss. The sounds of our ragged breathing and the wet slide of our tongues filled the air. His kiss was a savage, leaving me breathless and trembling. When he finally pulled back, I swayed, my eyes barely open. His gaze burned into mine, his chest heaving. "Mine," he growled, his voice low and menacing. I tried to shake my head, desperate to escape his brutal grip, but his fingers only tightened, digging deeper into my skin. "Mine," he repeated, the word dripping with dark possession. * * * Josette Wynters has spent her life moving from town to town because of her parents demanding job.

Blurb~ "Get off me!" Tessa gasped, struggling beneath Vernon's broad frame. His dark eyes gleamed with something unreadable—a hunger, a craving. When he didn’t move, panic surged through her, and she screamed. His hand shot out, wrapping around her throat, his grip unyielding. A breathless gasp tore from her lips. "You can't run from me, Peach." His voice was silk and steel, lethal in its promise. "I own you." — Tessa had lost everything—her home, her wealth, her love. The man she once adored, Tamlin, had not only betrayed her but stripped her of everything she owned, tossing her aside like she meant nothing. Heartbroken. Weak. Shattered. And then, things got worse. Tamlin didn’t just ruin her—he sold her. As collateral. Now, she belonged to the devil himself—Vernon Carter. Cold. Dominant. Cruel. A man who didn’t know the meaning of mercy. But if Vernon thought she would break, he was wrong. Tessa wanted vengeance. She wanted Tamlin to suffer. And to do that, she needed power. Wealth. Someone more ruthless than Tamlin ever was. Vernon was the perfect pawn. She made up her mind. She would seduce him. Make him crave her. Make him hers. But what happens when the hunter becomes the hunted? When Vernon discovers her true intentions—and the game of love and revenge spirals into something far more dangerous?
