Maya Ellis is a skilled literary editor drowning in debt and responsibility. When a rare, high-paying contract arrives from reclusive bestselling author Elias Voss, she signs without hesitation. The terms are clear: three months of exclusive collaboration on his next erotic novel, conducted in complete confidentiality at his isolated coastal house. Only after the papers are sealed does she fully understand the private clause buried in the agreement—the manuscript will require direct “demonstration” of certain scenes for the sake of accuracy.Elias Voss is exacting, controlled, and emotionally impenetrable. He treats desire with the same precision he applies to language. What begins as professional consultation quickly becomes something far more consuming. In the quiet rooms overlooking the sea, Maya is observed, corrected, and steadily drawn into a dynamic she can neither fully resist nor fully name. The line between the novel they are writing and the reality they are living grows thinner by the day.Yet the house holds residual traces of another woman. Five years earlier, Elias’s previous collaborator, Clara Raines, lived under a similar arrangement—and disappeared. Official records say she left. The objects she left behind, and the careful gaps in Elias’s explanations, suggest otherwise. As Maya is pulled deeper into both the work and the man who controls it, external pressures begin to close in: her sister’s mounting crisis, a stranger asking questions at her old apartment, and the quiet sense that someone beyond the house is paying close attention.Under His Terms is a slow-burn story of power, obsession, and buried secrets—where every page written demands a price, and the greatest risk is not the contract itself, but what happens when the truth can no longer be revised.

Queen Eva is red with fury and her heart craves revenge when one of her little ones is captured by some nasty pirates during a daytime swim. To get Princess Emily back, she takes a potion that transforms her into a human. She walks the soil of the earth, searching vigorously for her little one before the effect of the potion runs out, but along the way, she falls for a human, Mr. Callahan, a billionaire who knows nothing of her true identity. She hopes to find Emily through Callahan without exposing who she really is. Somehow, King Makanaki finds out about her affair with the human, and now they have to decide whether to save Emily's life or be caught in a fierce war between Makanaki and the human world because of an affair between a human and his queen.
