Samira Corbett has a secret life. To her family, she's a stressed pre-med student who spends too much time in the library. To her professors, she's the girl who falls asleep in lectures. To the supernatural underworld of Hollow Creek, she's the human detective who takes the cases no one else will touch—missing banshees, cursed artifacts, vampire disputes, and everything in between. She's good at it. Maybe too good. When whispers reach her about a werewolf exiled to the Dark Forest for a crime so brutal his own pack refuses to speak his name, Samira's instincts kick in. Something doesn't add up. The evidence is too clean. The story is too neat. And the brooding, sharp-tongued wolf living in the woods—Kaelen Voss—is either the most convincing liar she's ever met, or the unluckiest man in America. Samira takes the case. Between stakeouts and exams, between lying to her mother and dodging supernatural threats, she starts pulling at threads that someone very powerful wants to keep buried. Every clue she finds proves Kaelen's innocence—and puts her name on a list she never wanted to be on. Kaelen doesn't want her help. He doesn't want anyone. But Samira Corbett has never walked away from a mystery, and she's not about to start now—even if it means facing down a pack of wolves, a vampire with a grudge, and her own growing feelings for a man who turns into a monster under the full moon. In Hollow Creek, everyone has secrets. Samira's just happens to have fangs.

He bought her bakery. His family destroyed her grandfather. Now his grandmother wants her to marry him. Josie Marlowe has one rule: nobody buys the Marlowe family bakery. Not the billionaire who shows up with a camera crew and a $350,000 offer, and not the family that has haunted her for forty years. But when Nate Hale’s eight-year-old niece lets slip that he needs a wife by New Year’s or his ruthless uncle takes everything, Josie finds herself pulled into a deal she never wanted: a public engagement, a six-month marriage, and a building to call her own. The price is a lie. The prize is the truth about her grandfather’s disgrace, locked in an envelope only Nate’s grandmother can give her. Josie hates being rescued, Nate has never been asked for anything, and every sleepless night in a flooded kitchen pulls them closer. But someone has been cutting her pipes, someone is watching her every move, and a glamorous ex-fiancée has just walked back into the picture with a very large check. Kisses are only for the cameras. Accidents don’t count. And the more Josie learns about the Hale family, the more she wonders which lie is going to destroy her first.

She was raised to inherit an empire of lies. He was trained to destroy it. Neither expected to marry the enemy. Elara Voss has everything a woman could dream of: beauty, wealth, influence, and the protection of one of Europe's most powerful businessmen. As the beloved adopted daughter of billionaire Lucien Voss, she is the perfect heiress. But behind her elegant smile lies a dangerous secret. By night, Elara is **Vesper**, an elite operative who carries out missions most people wouldn't dare imagine. Her loyalty belongs to the man who raised her, and she has never questioned the empire he built. Until Adrian Vale enters her life. Cold, arrogant, and devastatingly handsome, Adrian is the billionaire chairman of Vale International. Their families have arranged their marriage, binding two powerful names together in a union neither seems particularly eager to accept. What Elara doesn't know is that Adrian has a secret of his own. Behind his expensive suits and corporate empire, he is **Ghost**, a highly trained operative working for ORION, an intelligence organization determined to dismantle the criminal networks threatening Europe. And Vesper has crossed paths with Ghost more than once. They have fought in the shadows, sabotaged each other's missions, and come dangerously close to discovering one another's identities. Now, they are expected to share a home, a name, and eventually, a bed. As husband and wife, they must learn to live together. As enemies, they must decide whether they can trust one another. And as feelings begin to blur the line between duty and desire, a much darker truth threatens to tear their lives apart. Because the greatest danger isn't always the enemy standing across the battlefield. Sometimes, it's the person you've spent your entire life calling family. In a marriage built on secrets, will love be their greatest weakness—or the only thing worth fighting for?
