His Captive Attorney
Updated at Aug 9, 2026, 08:22
Ten years ago, a ruthless corporate conspiracy framed Valeria De La Vega’s father, driving him to his death and forcing her to build an impenetrable armor as New York’s most unyielding defense attorney. She lives for one purpose: total control, and the silent destruction of the city's corrupt elite.​That control shatters the moment she is forced to take on a high-stakes, off-the-books federal case representing Maximilian Von Stein. Max isn't just an arrogant, dangerously charming master con artist facing syndicate charges—he is a phantom operative who intentionally got caught, using her father's sealed court files as his booking alias.​When a violent hit squad hits the detention center, Valeria is forced to make a deal with the devil to survive. But freeing Max pulls her into his subterranean world of high-stakes deception, where the line between enemy and savior rapidly blurs. Trapped in a dangerous game of forced proximity, psychological warfare, and suffocating tension, Valeria realizes Max doesn't just want to dismantle the syndicate that destroyed both their families.​He wants her—body, soul, and dark secrets included.​In a world where trust is lethal and love is the ultimate gamble, how far will an unyielding lawyer go when her worst enemy becomes her only obsession?

Bound by Shadows
Updated at Aug 9, 2026, 04:06
A desperate succubus steals energy from the wrong half-demon enforcer—only to ignite a dangerous, obsessive romance that puts a target on both of their backs.​She needed his energy to survive the night. She never expected him to hunt her down for the rest of her life.​Tessia Belacqua plays the seductive, dangerous succubus to perfection. But beneath the charm and deception lies a fiercely guarded secret: she only feeds to survive, and her quiet empathy constantly lands her in hot water. Broke and hunted by black-market energy loan sharks, Tessia has until midnight to deliver raw soul-essence—or face an identity purge by the Aegis Directorate, the secret syndicate enforcing supernatural secrecy in the modern human world.​Her target? A dangerously handsome stranger at the neon-drenched Grand Luminary Carnival.​Caelum "Cal" Sterling is a half-demon Cambion who moves like a predator and smiles like trouble. Expecting a routine siphon, Tessia locks lips with him—only to unleash a volcanic tidal wave of infernal power. Cal’s rare, infinitely regenerating Abyssal Core doesn't just handle her lethal drain; it leaves her completely intoxicated. But as the heat consumes them, his jacket shifts, revealing a terrifying truth: Cal is an elite Enforcement Agent for the Directorate.​Panicked, Tessia ghosts him before dawn, vanishing into the city shadows.​She thought it was a one-night escape. She was wrong.​Addicted to her unique soul-signature, Cal turns the entire city upside down to find her. But when he finally tracks Tessia down, he doesn't find a ruthless rogue predator—he finds a woman buried in dangerous debts, hunted by syndicate executioners, and targeted by his own vengeful, high-ranking ex-lover.​Thrown into a world of violent betrayal, forbidden desire, and deadly secrets, Cal burns his own career to the ground to protect the woman who stole his power. Because in a world where every touch is a weapon and every secret is a death sentence, their obsession might just destroy them both... or set the supernatural underworld on fire.
