She’s the chaos his control was never built to survive. Danica Clarke doesn’t play by anyone’s rules but her own. She’s a storm in stilettos: flawless, ferocious, and utterly untouchable. A woman who eats boardroom sharks for breakfast and signs multimillion-dollar deals before her morning espresso cools. She built her empire on blood, grit, and brilliance. Love? To her, it’s for the weak-hearted and the dream-drunk, not for women with empires to build. Alfred Brown is Danica’s living contradiction. Infuriatingly charming, disarmingly kind, with a smile capable of thawing the ice in her veins and a soul so golden it borders on blinding. He is everything she mocks and everything she secretly aches for. A romantic in a world of cynics. A whisper of poetry against her hard-edged pragmatism. When a fake-dating scheme throws them together, sparks don’t just fly, they ignite. Every glance becomes a provocation, every touch a challenge, and every deception sold to the world feeds a truth neither can outrun. Heat builds, tennsion breaks, and the distance between wanting and needing collapses. Because sometimes, the last person you’d ever fall for…is the one who makes you fall the hardest. ____________________________ Author's Note: Hey lovely readers! First of all, THANK YOU for choosing this story. I’m beyond excited to share Danica and Alfred’s wild, fiery, emotional journey with you. Yes, English isn't my first language, and some early chapters might be a little rough around the edges—but please hang in there! The heart of the story is what matters, and I promise you—it gets juicier, funnier, and deeper as you go.

I Became a Demon Lord With Only Three Succubi

After her death, Lilith awakens in a world where fourteen billion players struggle for survival, power, and the right to continue existing. Over Ten million of them have become Demon Lords, each building their own race, their own territory, and their own army. Demonic Dragon Knights command vast legions, Vampires rise to build empires, and Lords of Catastrophe leave nothing but ruin in their wake. Yet Lilith enters this world as the Primordial Succubus Monarch - and quickly realizes she cannot walk the same path as the others. Instead of endless armies, she is given only three succubi, each unique in their own way, and the system permanently seals her ability to summon more. In a world where power is measured in numbers, such a gift feels more like a death sentence than a blessing. If she wants to conquer this world, she will have to take armies from other Demon Lords, grow stronger despite her limitations, and prove that a demon of desire is not meant only to seduce - but to fight. And above them all stand the Heroes… beings created for one purpose alone. To hunt and kill Demon Lords like her. And Lilith would soon realize… that neither Heroes nor Demon Lords were the true predators of this world. *** You can support me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/TorqQ

Wolf Princess Sold to the Dragon King

"Take me instead." Three words. Guinevere Lunaris trades herself and saves 300 lives. Tied. Gagged. Underestimated by a mile. They chain her to a tree in the snow. Mistake. While running for her life, she meets a stranger in the dark and tells him to hide so he isn’t killed. Twelve hours later, he walks into her father's hall wearing a crown. The man she just told to hide in a hole is Maddox Drakencrest, High King of Velkaris. Ruler of an entire continent. Maddox hears his dragon say ‘mate’ right away. But her wolf is silent. More and more Alpha Kings enter the hall. She catches the tail end of her father’s toast and chokes on her wine. "—leave here with a virgin bride." An auction for her hand turns into a full-out bidding war. Maddox wins. 750 million in gold, three dragon fleets, and an urn full of the bastard who chained her the day before. Every force in Velkaris is betting against a wolf on a dragon throne. The Elders say the queen must be a dragon rider, which is impossible for a woman without dragon blood. The king's half-brother agrees with them, but his solution is a civil war and taking the crown for himself. If his brother’s rebellion wins, Maddox dies and she belongs to him. If the elders win, she goes back to the father who sold her. Neither is happening. Her wolf calls Velkaris home. She's not giving it up. They expect Guinevere to behave like a good little wolf princess and play along with their political games. She says bet.

villain can be lover (18+❌)

Richard Kainat is a powerful mafia king whose daily profession revolves around murder and bloodshed, and who feels pleasure at the sight of blood. There is no shortage of wealth in his life. He is involved in every kind of illegal business imaginable. There is hardly any crime he has not committed — from drugs, human trafficking, and arms smuggling to every other unlawful trade. Even though the 30-year-old handsome and charismatic Richard Kainat has done everything, he has never felt any attraction toward a woman that could make him emotionally drawn to her. On the other hand, Elizabeth Imra Erin is simple, soft-hearted, and an exceptionally beautiful woman. Her most distinctive feature is her red hair. So why did the 30-year-old handsome Richard Kainat, who had never felt attracted to women before, make Elizabeth Imra Erin his mistress at first sight for only 2.6 million taka? When he could have easily abducted her anytime he wanted, there was no need for a contract at all. Yet he still chose to make a contract before taking her away. Was it really just a contract paper… or was it something else entirely?

Buying My Way Through the Multiverse

In a dead world overrun by walkers, Gray gains access to a system capable of buying almost anything: weapons, skills, powers... even abilities from other universes. At first, surviving The Walking Dead seemed simple enough. Then he discovered Rebirth. A feature that allows him to travel between worlds while permanently keeping some of the powers he earned. Now, every apocalypse, every universe, and every battle is a stepping stone toward something far bigger. And Gray plans to survive them all. First time doing this, so don't expect award-winning writing. Might also mess up timelines or places but just take it as an AU :)

The Heavens' Traveler : Starting from the Dungeon

One look to learn. Two looks to master. Ren Isana was summoned to a world where spiritual energy has returned, monsters roam the streets, and spatial rifts lead to dangerous alternate dimensions. But he wasn’t summoned by a god or a king—he was summoned by his own parallel self: a depressed orphan who sacrificed his existence just to bring Ren into this “giant cesspool” of a world. However, the sacrifice wasn’t in vain. Ren awakened the Eyes of Insight, a legendary talent from another world. Whether it is the bone-shattering martial arts of a street-corner elder, the high-tier elemental spells of elite professors, or even the unique bloodline talents of his peers—Ren sees it all. Yukino Yukinoshita’s perfect physical control? Copied. Asuna Yuuki’s lightning-fast rapier speed? Mastered. Aria Valentia (Ais Wallenstein)’s divine wind magic? Replicated and improved. When a spatial rift opens to the legendary city of Orario, Ren doesn’t go to explore—he goes to dominate. Behind him stands a class of the world’s most famous “geniuses.” Ahead of him stand the gods themselves. As the newly appointed Captain of the Hestia Familia, Ren Isana is about to show the inhabitants of the Dungeon what happens when a mortal possesses the eyes of a god. “You call that a secret technique? Sorry—I learned it five seconds ago… and I think I do it better.”
