His Tempting Captive (Assassins Can Love Book 1)
Queen-of-Sarcasm-18
Introduction
"W-who a-are you?" She gasped her face one of complete innocence.
"I will be asking the questions." His voice echoed throughout the room.
She tried to push him off which resulted in him spinning her around effortlessly and pushing her face-first into the wall.
The towel that covered her body fell away from her and she gasped, tears forcing their way out. Thomas leaned into her body to restrict any movement. He wasn't proud of it but his body was reacting to her.
He leaned forward and whispered into her ear. "What are you doing here?" He questioned.
"In my house?" "I-I w-was invited here..."
Avril Stock strives to have her parents not treat her as some dim-witted fool. She was eighteen for heaven's sake. Most kids at sixteen were sent out in the world but not her. She had to be born to overly strict parents who even at her age ruled her life with iron fists and unbreakable opinions. Until she comes to this man's house, all principles will be broken...
Thomas Lynne is known in the mirrored world for his prowess as a professional spy working for a covert organization. He is the man they call when all else fails, so tactful and certain are his techniques. He is resourceful, detached, and most of all merciless.
Not be lured by any woman but only using them as an anecdote for his frequent urges, why does the outwardly shy Avril Stock affect him? Maybe it was her carefully concealed temper and sharp wit. He didn't want to mention her soulful honey-colored eyes that widened to illustrate just how innocent she really was. Her coming under his roof could only spell trouble...

Welcome to Hell
An ordinary man with a bright future ahead.
But a single betrayal was enough to shatter everything.
Framed by the woman he loved and his own brother, he was sentenced and thrown into the worst place imaginable: a prison where rules don’t exist—and danger has a name, a face… and hungry eyes.
Now, he shares a cell with the most feared man in the entire facility.
Dominant. Intense. Obsessive.
And he wants him.
Not out of love.
Not out of mercy.
But out of pure, ruthless desire.
In a world with no laws, no escape, and no one to save him, he becomes the wolf’s bunny—submissive to his touch, a prisoner of pleasure… and completely unable to resist.
Because sometimes, it’s the monster who knows exactly how to make you feel alive.

Bonded to My Ex's Alpha Brother
The problem is, he's the brother of my ex-boyfriend Bradley.
As a lowly Omega werewolf, I have no right to desire a union with a superior wolf, especially this Alpha leader. Derek Stone isn't just the leader of the Darkwood Pack; he's also a formidable business tycoon. His reputation for ruthlessness makes other packs tremble.
But the ancient werewolf law is clear: if a Pack Alpha rejects his Soul Bond, a curse will descend upon us both.
When Derek suddenly hires me as his assistant secretary, I find myself in a dangerous game. Daily close contact makes the wolf inside me excited, while his cold attitude breaks my heart. Is he deliberately torturing me, or is there something more complex hidden beneath his icy exterior?
As the attraction between us grows stronger, I must make a choice: continue to endure this painful connection, find a way to break the Soul Bond, or make the Pack Alpha fall in love with me and accept me as his Soul Bond.

As she walks this new path, familiar faces resurface, bringing long-buried secrets to light. Her heritage—once a mystery—begins to unravel, revealing a truth that may change everything.
