Hurt Me Like You Mean It [BL]

[This book contains, explicit and mature scenes—no r*pe. Not advised for viewers under 18, protect thy purity] Lance Dixon is drowning in a debt that isn’t his. His parents’ financial mistakes have fallen entirely onto him, and his life has collapsed into a constant struggle to stay afloat. He has never denied what he is. Lance is a masochist, and most people he’s dated couldn’t handle that truth. Every relationship ended the same way, leaving him with needs no one was willing to meet. Everything shifts on a night he drinks too much and ends up venting to a stranger. In a mix of frustration and alcohol, Lance jokes that he’d sell himself to anyone willing to pay off his debt. The stranger, Ansel Lowell, doesn’t brush it off. He asks how much. And when Lance tells him, Ansel offers a deal: three months living under his terms, in exchange for clearing the debt completely. The deal is straightforward and seems almost like relief. But as the days pass, the dynamic between them deepens in ways neither expected. What began as a simple exchange grows into a connection that is far more consuming, and far more dangerous, than either of them intended. [Excerpt] Lance meant to pull away when Ansel stepped closer, but his body didn’t move. Ansel’s hand hovered near his jaw, just close enough to make Lance’s breath catch. “Do you understand what you agreed to?” Ansel asked quietly. Lance swallowed. “You’re paying off my debt. I stay with you for three months. That’s it.” A hint of a smile tugged at Ansel’s mouth, which made him more dangerous because of it. “No, Lance. That’s the surface of it. I want you to hear the truth.” Lance’s pulse stumbled. Ansel leaned in just enough that Lance could feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m going to take up space in your life. I’m going to have you when I want you. I’m going to learn every weakness you try to hide, and I will use them. I will claim you, piece by piece, until you can’t tell where your choices end and mine begin.” Lance exhaled shakily. “Do you worst Mr. Lowell, I can handle it.”

savage kings

This romantic fantasy will tear your heart apart. Every twist delivers hard-won truths, sweeping emotion, and an unforgettable adventure. By day, Sienna Kane is a quiet librarian. By weekend, she’s a thrill seeker pushing her limits—training relentlessly for her first triathlon. But nothing prepares her for being torn from her world and thrown into Bestia, a savage realm where beasts rule and predators wear human skin. Hunted by creatures that shift between monster and man, Sienna is saved by Gideon, the formidable Wolf King of Juno. He wastes no time telling her the truth: she is his destined mate. Sienna wants none of it. She wants answers. She wants safety. Most of all, she wants to go home. Lost, frightened, and cursed as a bad omen by the very kingdom meant to protect her, Sienna finds herself isolated—except for Gideon, whose instincts insist she is far more than she appears. As she plots her escape, something impossible awakens within her: the power of fire. And with it, the unsettling realization that Bestia may be bound to her fate. Her escape from Juno is anything but clean. Thrust from one realm to another, Sienna crosses paths with powerful rulers—Rocco, the seductive Sea King; Talon, the unyielding King of Avion; and Aron, the enigmatic King of Bolivé. Wherever she goes, change follows. Balance shifts. Old prophecies stir. Sienna soon learns the truth behind her arrival: she is the reincarnation of Eriu, the Goddess of Abundance—and with that power comes devastating responsibility, dangerous conditions, and a fate she never asked for. To survive Bestia, Sienna must adapt to its brutal laws, embrace bonds she fears, and make an impossible choice. Along her journey, she will face betrayal and devotion, forge unlikely alliances, and uncover strengths—and desires—she never knew she possessed. Kings will rise against one another for her love. The world will bend beneath her presence. Will Sienna bring peace—or chaos—to Bestia? Who will she choose when love becomes a battlefield? And will she ever find her way back to the human world… or has Bestia already claimed her heart?

Your husband. I love you.” He becomes her eyes in public, her shield in private, and her secret map through a world that no longer has faces.

By mimicking Gerard’s scent and quietly gaslighting Hilary’s senses, Bianca begins a calculated hunt—not just for Hilary’s position, but for her husband.

A multi-billion-dollar legacy… or the woman who can only recognize him by scent. In a world that demands perfection, can love survive when the person you adore is nothing more than a familiar scent in the dark?
