THE BLACKWOOD CONTRACT One desperate woman. One ruthless billionaire. One marriage built on secrets. Elena Vale is running out of time. With her mother fighting for her life and hospital bills piling up, Elena has exhausted every option. She has nothing left to offer the world—until Damian Blackwood, a powerful billionaire with a cold heart and a dangerous reputation, makes her an offer that could change everything. Five million dollars. In exchange, she must become his wife for six months. Damian needs a marriage to secure his position in his family’s empire. Elena needs the money to save her mother. Their arrangement seems simple: sign the contract, play the perfect couple, and walk away when the six months are over. But Damian Blackwood has rules of his own, and his world is filled with secrets that money cannot bury. The deeper Elena steps into his life, the more she begins to question why he chose her—and why the mention of her family seems to awaken something he desperately wants to hide. Then comes the most terrifying discovery of all: her mother may know more about the Blackwood family than she has ever admitted. Now Elena is trapped between the man who could save her world and the secrets threatening to destroy it. She entered the marriage to save her mother. She never expected to risk her heart. And she never imagined that the most dangerous part of the contract would be discovering the truth about the man she married. Because some contracts come with an expiration date. Secrets don't.

THE ALPHA’S WIDOW He was supposed to be her revenge. Instead, he became her weakness. And his dead wives, maybe her death. The last thing Seraphina Vale said to her sister was, “Call me tomorrow.” Elena never got a tomorrow. Three years later, Seraphina has one goal: uncover the truth behind her sister’s death. And the trail leads straight to Alexander Thorne—the ruthless billionaire who owns half the city, commands a secret werewolf dynasty, and has buried more secrets than his fortune can hide. When Seraphina confronts him, Alexander recognizes the silver scar on her wrist. His reaction is immediate. Fear. Then a message appears on her phone. THE WIDOWS HAVE CHOSEN. A photograph reveals six women in white standing beside Alexander. Every one of them is dead. Including his first wife. And when one of the dead women opens her eyes, Seraphina realizes she has stumbled into something far more dangerous than a murder investigation. Alexander offers her a bargain: marry him for one year, and she will gain access to the secrets his family has spent generations protecting. She accepts with a plan of her own—to discover what happened to Elena, expose the Thorne dynasty, and destroy the man at its center. But Alexander is hiding a truth that could ruin them both. Their marriage awakens a forbidden bond neither of them can afford to want. Someone inside the dynasty is eliminating witnesses. The dead wives have unfinished business. And Seraphina’s silver mark may connect her to a bloodline the Thornes were determined to erase. The closer she gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to hate the man she was supposed to destroy. Because Alexander may be the key to her sister’s death. He may also be the only man who can protect her from what is coming. And if the truth demands a sacrifice, the Alpha may have to choose between his throne, his mate, and the dead women who still claim him. Some marriages are built on love. Some are built on lies. Theirs was sealed in blood.
