About this listen
I came to his fortress as a weapon—
calculating, cold, and committed to my mission.
Only show them what I want them to see, never let them in.
This mantra kept me alive, kept me focused.
Pavel was supposed to be just a target.
The ruthless commander who executes spies without mercy.
My enemy. My mark.
What I never expected was for my own heart to become the battlefield.
With each passing day in his presence,
the line between deception and desire blurs.
I can see the way he looks at me like he wants to devour me.
His touch ignites a fire that consumes my every defense.
His kiss makes me forget why I came,
The mask I once wore forgotten, replaced by an intense desire to expose my very soul to him.
I found an unexpected allegiance in the very man I was sent to destroy,
yet the moment this truth surfaces,
either my handler or Pavel himself will surely end me with a bullet.

Story
He’s the enemy of my family— And the first man to ever touch me. One second, I’m walking down the aisle. The next, I’m in a cabin with a mafia enforcer who looks at me like I’m already his. Max Mastroni is cold. Brutal. Covered in scars. He says I’m just leverage—bait for my father. But his hands say something else. So do the things he makes me feel. I try to run. I scream, I fight, I curse his name. But he doesn’t care that I’m untouched. He just says he’ll ruin me gently. I thought I knew what hate was. Turns out it looks a lot like obsession. And sounds a lot like his...

Story
My grumpy boss is my ex-boyfriend’s best friend. My Billionaire Boss, Oliver Grant, is ruthless, controlling, grumpy, and aggravatingly gorgeous. He’s my ex-boyfriend's best friend and is a constant reminder of everything I went through. Being his secretary has been, let's just say, challenging. Since we can barely tolerate being in the same office. But recently, I have seen how kind and sweet he is around his daughter. And he’s been finding ways to well… just be there—steady, strong, comforting, and so SEXY. Our last overnight business trip turned into a night of mind-blowing sex...

Story
I never meant to fall for my best friend’s father—the grumpy, gorgeous billionaire I should’ve run from. One broken-down car. One reckless night. And suddenly, I’m in Calder Thorne’s arms, breaking every rule without even knowing it. I thought he was just a brooding mechanic with rough hands and a wicked mouth—one drink, one kiss, one night we swore to forget. The real heartbreak comes later—when I realize he’s the father of the one person I can’t afford to lose. He’s older. Hardened by loss. Off-limits in every way. And when he touches me, it’s like he’s starving ...

Falling for the grumpy billionaire boss was never part of the plan. Billionaire Steven Ross is grumpy, cold, calculated, and impossible to please. He glares like I’m a walking disaster. Maybe I am, with my bright ideas and even brighter lipstick. I was hired to fix his company and shake things up. He hates me. But underneath the growl and the glare, I catch glimpses of something else. He checks on me when I work late. He defends me in front of the board. And one night, when I’m spiraling, he just… holds me. I tell myself it means nothing. Then when we get stuck in the elevator he ...

❖ I was the girl he broke. Now I’m the woman he can’t escape. ❖ Seven years ago, I vanished beneath blood and secrets. Left behind the curvy, naive girl who thought monsters only lived in nightmares.

He wants me—in a fake marriage inked in blood and unfinished vengeance. But I’m not the broken ...

I didn’t expect her to be a curvy, chaotic student with no idea who she is.

Because now I’m stuck teaching her how to control magic that shouldn’t even exist—and pretending I’m not dreaming about her ...

They say sin finds you when your soul is pure. I was raised to pray, to obey, to stay untouched. Twenty years in Catholic skirts and whispered Hail Marys— Never kissed. N ever defiled. Never meant to cross paths with a devil in a tailored suit. But the night Vieri Tavano walked into my café, drenched in blood and silence, my world shattered. He took me. Not for love. Not for lust. As collateral. He swore he wouldn’t touch me… Not unless I begged him to. And God help me, I’m starting to. He’s cold, cruel, carved from shadows—and yet, I see something in his eyes. Pain. Guilt.
