Hera Leandra Bardin, 24 years old, was on the brink of death in the middle of the desert. As she felt her blood trickle, she recalled all of the past memories she had that led to this moment. She remembered her mother who died from an incurable disease. And her father who had betrayed her. She remembered leaving the place she called home at 15 years old and the moment she made the decision to join the army. The anger and hatred she felt towards liars and cheaters sparked her strong sense of justice. As she felt her life fade away, she couldn’t accept that this would be her end. Until–a business mogul, Nathaniel Orion Martel spots her abandoned figure in the desert and extends her life, by giving her his dark blood. Hera wakes up to a new way of living. Her savior, Nathaniel Orion Martel, a 300-year old vampire took her in, much to the dissatisfaction of the elders of the Martel clan. They saw her as an obstacle to their plan of marrying Nathaniel Orion to a Royal Princess to expand their influence. Hera claimed to have no interest in being part of this rivalry and was focused on getting the justice she was owed. She left in search of answers, but came to know her mother’s secrets along the way. When Hera and Nathaniel met again, she had already become a different person. She was no longer without purpose, having found a new responsibility towards her mother's clan. Hera and Nathaniel's separation pushed them to recognize their budding romance. Facing rivalry against the Royal Princess and her clan's alpha, Hera is determined to use her own strength and emerge victorious, and possibly place her trust and have the happily ever after she thought she'd never have.

神崎颯斗と付き合い始めて二年目。私が30歳、彼は24歳になっていた。 正直、私は何度も彼に聞いていた。「ねえ、颯斗は将来、結婚って考えてるの？」と。でも彼はいつも同じ答えを繰り返した。 「俺はまだ若いから、結婚なんて考えないよ。今は仕事を頑張る時期だしさ」そう笑って、私の問いかけをさらりとかわしてきた。 だけど......そんな彼が他の女性と親しげに寄り添い、笑顔で抱き合う写真を、私は彼のSNSで見つけてしまった。胸が締め付けられた。 さらに悪いことに、彼が酔っ払ったとき、友人たちと話していたという会話の録音が送られてきた。 「おい、本当にあの年増女と結婚する気かよ！」友人にからかわれて、彼は酒瓶を片手にこう答えた。 「俺が結婚？冗談じゃねえよ。若くて可愛い子の方が絶対いいに決まってる。あいつは金持ってて、俺に尽くしてくれるから一緒にいるだけ。あんなシワだらけのババア、顔見るだけで吐き気がする」 笑い声が耳にこびりつく。 私がどれだけ彼に尽くしてきたかなんて、彼には一ミリも伝わっていなかったんだ。全てが虚しい偽りの言葉だったのかと思うと、悲しみと怒りが心を埋め尽くした。 もう、こんな関係はやめよう。私はこの恋に決着をつけ、心を断ち切った。 そして私はただ一つのことに集中することにした。そう、お金を稼ぐことだ。自分の力で手に入れたお金があれば、心の隙間なんて埋められる。

“No one touches what is mine and gets to live,” he replies firmly, sending a cold shiver down my spine. “Alessandro, I am not yours. I am not anyone’s property,” I argue. He laughs softly. “Okay,” he says casually, as if what I said doesn't matter. “I mean it; I will never be yours—not your property, not your plaything, and certainly not your mistress,” I've already made it clear that I won't be his mistress; I don’t know why he can’t seem to accept that. His jaw tightens, then he scoffs. “He threatened you, he touched you,” he says, his eyes narrowing. “It really didn’t matter if the device was his or not; he knew what was coming for him.” In search of her missing father, Renée, a 24 year old boudoir photographer, moves to a new country and makes a deal with the FBI. She helps them bring down the most feared Mafia Don in the country, and they help her find her father. All she has to do is seduce him and get him to lower his guard—easy. Alessandro has been married for three years to the perfect wife, the princess of the East Mafia dome. That kind of marriage makes Alessandro the leader of both the South and the East of the Mafia dome and untouchable, Ruthless. Then one night at a masquerade ball, he meets her, the seductive stranger with a different accent. She looks like the typical type of woman he would make his mistress. But is that enough? Will his world accept a woman like her? It has been a rule for as long as he can remember that certain races can't mix, at least not from where he stands. Plus, he is a married man. Everything about her is forbidden.

Grace White, a weak werewolf with cowardly alpha blood that runs through her veins, is an obedient daughter that strives to stay out of her father’s way and pay her stepmom's hospital fees. Though living with an abusive father, Gracey always finds the time to stop and appreciate life and the joy of being alive. However, when her stepmom’s hospital fees begin to triple, her stresses begin to consume every ounce of joy she has left. Being a girl who lives a life grounded on morals, the thought of selling herself as a house maiden/servant, as her father suggested, to earn enough money, sounds absurd at first. Yet when there seems to be no other option, and her mom’s life hangs in the balance, she decides to sell herself in the largest and most esteemed auction that El Salvador hoists every year. Her mixed feelings towards the auction become subdued, as the moon Goddess gifts her the person she has always dreamt of having. But will he accept her, or hurt her much more than life itself? …but whatever he chooses to do, he needs to remember that: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
