150 years ago a seal was broken and magic flooded the world. Bloodlines that had lain dormant for centuries were reawakened and chaos reigned. 

Now, The Arc has taken over and order has been restored but it's a tenuous kind of peace. Anything and anyone who threatens that peace is snatched from their bed in the middle of the night, never to be seen again. 

Lexi knows she's something different, something dangerous. So she's been living her life in the shadows, never letting anyone get too close. When, in a moment of desperation and adrenaline, she finds herself saving a powerful fae's life from the basement of an Arc facility, her world is turned upside down. She agrees to help the infuriating but beautiful man recover his power but it turns out to be more than she bargained for when they discover a device implanted inside him that blocks his magic. Bound by blood and secrets the pair must work together to figure out how to remove it before it's too late.

Outlaw | 18+ by devilseyez

In a world where power is the ultimate weapon and betrayal is currency, the line between hero and villain doesn't just blur-it shatters. She's the kind of woman you're warned about. Calculating. Lethal. The first to smile in your face and twist the knife in your back. He's the man everyone fears. Cold-blooded. Unforgiving. The embodiment of vengeance in an expensive suit. They should have destroyed each other. But instead, they made a deal. She's playing a game with no rules. He's rewriting them as he goes. Together, they're a storm no one can outrun. Loyalties are broken, alliances burned, and blood spills in their wake. But when the smoke clears, only one thing remains certain-trusting the devil doesn't make you safe... It makes you just like him. She's the sinner. He's the executioner. And in their obsession, no one gets out alive. Some stories don't have heroes. Some don't need them. This is theirs. Outlaw-where survival isn't enough, and obsession is the only law. Highest Ranks: #1 - badgirl #1 - secretsociety #4 - hacking [𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝, 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 @𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐳 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒]

On the night of her birthday, she awakens to find herself bonded to Azriel, a seductive and vengeful demon cursed to her bloodline. He invades her dreams, claims her body, and slowly consumes her life. Determined to fight back, Raven attempts to rebuild her life, finding love with mortal men who promise her normalcy. But Azriel's jealousy knows no bounds, and his possessiveness turns deadly. As the bodies pile up and her hope for escape fades, she discovers a terrible truth: the only way to sever their bond is to sacrifice her life. Torn between a forbidden love that defies logic and a chance at salvation, Raven must decide if she'll fight for freedom or embrace her darkness and join Azriel in the shadow realm, where their passion could burn eternal.

But, even if the news is tragic, Kat Devieux has other, much more urgent things on her plate. Her financial troubles and the unrealistic expectations of her father has her family on the brink of starvation and her only way out seems to be marriage to a man who sees her as nothing more than a pretty face. When in order to save her father, she becomes the unwilling prisoner of a cursed beast, the running of the kingdom becomes even less important to her. Until she finds herself entangled in rogue politics and magic use. Because the Beast is guilty of more than misuse of magic in a kingdom that has expressly forbidden it. He holds a secret that could be the undoing of the entire country. And for Kat, knowledge opens a door to a life where she is so much more than just another bystander. A life she never thought could be. 🥀 Book 1 of the Fairy's Gambit series *Beauty and the Beast retelling* Fantastic cover by @pennywithaney

The Forbidden Entity (BWWM) by JLB_18

In this world of supernatural beings, power, and greed act as a catalyst for violence and war. Humans are subordinate in every sense and reside at the bottom of the hierarchy. Vampires hunt them for sport, and other beings condemn them to forced labor. Lycans are the only creatures to offer humans peace and solidarity, making their territory a place of refuge for the dwindling species. Most humans live under the security that lycans are honorable enough to keep their word. Thus, they follow their rules and live a quiet and quaint life. Humans can even choose to work at the royal castle for wages.  So, what happens when a cautious eighteen-year-old with a big heart and humble personality decides to seize the opportunity?  Sayora is sensitive, selfless, soft-spoken, and empathetic. She's like a beacon that attracts everything in her path. That notion becomes even more apparent when she arrives at the castle to obtain a position. However, her life takes a drastic turn shortly after her arrival, and Sayora is propelled into a world of lust, sex, violence, danger, history, mates, and carnal desires.  Powerful secrets get unveiled, jealousy arises, and the threat of war looms over the castle. Lycans hold most of the world's power, and their enemies will stop at nothing to dethrone them. Amidst all the turmoil, Sayora learns she's not as innocent as she once believed. . . . . . ⚠️ Read at your discretion. This story is MATURE, and it's rated 18+ for crude language, strong violence, gore, descriptive sex scenes, smut, nudity, explicit content, taboo topics, themes of suicide and depression, and BDSM elements. ⚠️  NOTE: The MCs do not meet right away!!!!! I take my time introducing them, so if you prefer rushed stories where the MCs profess their love in the second chapter, then this book isn't for you.

"A wedding meant for love... stolen by madness." _______________________________________ Him: "Who deserves punishment, biwi?" Her: (barely audible, heart pounding) "M-me..." Him: (tilting her chin up, voice dark and unwavering) "And where, biwi? On our bed... or in the ashes of the man who dared to crave what's mine?" Her: (whimpering, body trembling) "P-please..." Him: (low chuckle, deadly possessive) "No, biwi. Please what?" He leaned in, his breath a sinful caress against her trembling lips. "Please what, baby? Use your words." "Beg me to break you. Beg me to make you mine-completely-until even your soul moans my name." His grip tightened, his fingers tracing fire down her skin. "Say it-" Her: (shuddering, surrendering) "Yours..." His lips hovered, his voice a dark whisper, laced with devotion and madness. ________________________________________ "You are the prayer my soul has bled for through lifetimes." "The flame my darkness bows before." "The only truth my chaos kneels to." "And now, biwi, you are bound to me-not by fate, not by destiny-by me." This isn't just dominance. This is obsession, possession, destruction, and worship-wrapped in the most sinful kind of love. Get ready to step into a world where love turns lethal, obsession burns wild, and surrender is the only escape.

The deep by DecayingGodess

A young woman, her past shrouded in shadows, teeters on the brink of oblivion, by her own hand. Captivating but challenging, she draws others in with an irresistible pull. Unafraid to unleash her sharp tongue like a deadly blade or use her claws, honed to perfection. She emanates a chilling aura that could freeze one's very soul, her eyes infused with the cunning of a fox. Though she has many twisted secrets and desires, she can not face them alone, in order to rise from the ashes, she must let go of any inhibitions, give herself completely to the temptations, and accept what fate has bestowed upon her. Especially if fate is wrapped up in such a sinful devastatingly gorgeous package. He is a wealthy surgeon concealing a darkness beneath his unearthly beauty. He exudes both rugged strength and gentle kindness, yet what he hides behind that meticulously constructed mask, is the inner demon, a beast that has an insatiable lust for desire and pleasure, and to claim what he perceives to belong to him. He is a downright psychopath underneath his carefully curated facade of caring protector. His protection is obsessive in its truest form, and he must embrace it no matter the cost. It's as if she had been plucked from the depths of hell to test him, unraveling the intricately woven veil he uses to shield himself. And perhaps he is exactly what she needs to bury her tumultuous past, and step in to her own era of psychotic dark goddess energy, even if only for a fleeting moment. Both carry unsettling truths within them and as they are thrust together in unavoidable proximity amidst spicy themes of seduction, their facades will begin to crumble. The outcome hangs precariously between mutual destruction or obliterating anyone who dares come between their enigmatic bond.
