As they navigate their charade in front of his family, they all come to adore Athena, and Ares begins to fall for her. Even Athena starts feeling a spark - until she finds out the hurtful truth.

It’s a trap built by Kenzo Robernero, the cold, calculating leader of the Società Oscura. All of the players in the room answer to him. Each card on the table is stacked in his favor and every newcomer is watched.

Now Rebecca is caught in a room where the stakes are lethal, the rules are unwritten, and the man across the table doesn’t tolerate cheats, but he does notice them. And once Kenzo notices you, the night stops being about cards and starts being about survival.

Bad Boy Xavier: Part 1

Bad Boy Xavier: Part 1

Jen Cooper

“We’ve all got a vice. Mine’s alcohol and punching things. What’s yours?” She asked, refusing to feel bad for her choice in extracurriculars when he had just shot someone in the head because of his. He chuckled dryly.

“Sex mostly.”

Katelynn grows up in a world of bruises, broken promises, and a father whose debts pull her deeper into danger. When a deal gone wrong hands her over to a powerful family, she braces herself for a life of fear. But Xavier, the heir who rules with fire and steel, doesn’t expect a girl who bites back instead of breaking. He’s been trained to pull the trigger without thinking, to take what he wants without asking—but with her, nothing is simple. The girl he should see as a pawn suddenly feels like a battle he doesn’t want to win. And being his captive? It’s supposed to be her worst nightmare. Yet somehow, against every rule and every scar, it feels like something far more dangerous—something she’s not sure she wants to escape.
