Description

Ten years ago, Ezra Donahue lost his family in a fire. He should have died too. Instead, he was saved, hidden, and trained by the very man who started it-Silas Mercer. Now, Ezra has returned under a new name, determined to make Silas pay. But he's not the only one looking for the truth. Lena Whitmore, the girl who pulled him from the flames, has spent years digging into the city's corruption, unknowingly putting herself in Silas's crosshairs. When Ezra and Lena cross paths again, their search for answers uncovers more than they expected-Silas isn't working alone, and Lena's own family might be tied to the fire. As the lies unravel, Ezra pretends to join Silas, knowing it's the only way to take him down. But when Silas orders Lena's death, Ezra moves fast to save her-only, what if he's already too late?

Zeke's POV

“I was supposed to be dead.”

The words sat on my tongue, bitter, like the ashes I tasted that night.

I exhaled, gripping the balcony railing, the rusted metal biting into my palms. The city sprawled below—cars honking, neon lights flickering, life moving on. But not for me. I was still stuck in that fire, trapped in the moment my entire world turned to smoke.

“You’re doing it again.”

Jax's voice cut through the silence. I didn’t turn.

“Doing what?” I asked, already knowing the answer.

“Staring into nothing like it’s gonna bring back the past.”

I huffed a humourless laugh. “Maybe this time it will.”

Jax sighed, stepping closer. “It’s been five years, Zeke.”

Five years.

I squeezed the railing tighter. My fingers twitched with the phantom heat of that night. The crackling flames, the suffocating smoke. My father’s voice, roaring over the chaos—his final words lost in the inferno. The guards, dead. The halls I once ran through, swallowed by fire.

And me?

I was supposed to burn with them.

But then—her.

I still remember the feel of her hands, the way she yanked me from death’s grip. I remember the urgency in her touch, the scent of her—smoke, sweat, something sweet underneath. Dark hair, pale skin, storm-colored eyes. A face I never forgot.

A face I never found again.

“Zeke.” Jax’s tone was sharper now, yanking me back. “You’re not the only one who lost something that night.”

I turned to face him. “You lost your home. I lost my family.”

His jaw clenched. “We all lost something. You’re just the only one who refuses to move the hell on.”

Move on?

I let out a slow breath. The problem was, I couldn’t. Not when the people who burned my family alive were still out there. Not when I had spent every second of these last ten years hunting them.

And not when I still hadn’t found her.

The girl who saved me.

Never Just Friends

I Wanna Ruin Our Friendship

I've always been "the quiet, nerdy girl." The girl with her nose buried in a book, the girl people barely notice. But my world is a lot more complicated than it seems. You see, I'm absolutely, hopelessly in love with my best friend, Logan Reyes-the bad boy everyone wants but nobody can quite hold onto. And he has no idea. Logan and I have been friends forever. We banter, we laugh, and we're close. But to him, I'm just Emma, the girl he'll confide in about everything-except his new flings, like Vanessa, the school's reigning queen bee. She's got her sights on Logan and everyone knows it. Meanwhile, Logan and I share this strange, unspoken chemistry that I can't ignore, even if we act like it's no big deal. But everything changes the night I get roped into a game of spin the bottle at Vanessa's party. When the bottle lands on Logan, he kisses me in front of everyone-and suddenly, it's like I'm seeing Logan in a whole new light, and he's seeing me differently, too. Now he's paying me attention in a way that's unsettling, thrilling, and absolutely forbidden. And just when I think I can ignore it, Logan begins pursuing me-unabashedly, against all the rules he's lived by and despite his so-called girlfriend's wishes. Now, I'm caught in a whirlwind of gossip, jealousy, and emotions I can barely handle. Logan's breaking his own rules for me, and the harder I try to resist him, the more I find myself pulled back. But when we're toeing the line between friendship and something much more dangerous, my heart-and his-are on the line.

As the daughter of powerful leaders in the Midnight Crest pack, she should have had a promising life-but her twin sister, Seraphine, made sure that never happened. By spreading rumors that Isla lacks a wolf, Seraphine has kept her confined to the shadows, practically a prisoner in her own home. Despite her family's scorn and her sister's cruelty, Isla hides one precious secret: a fierce wolf named Lira, who came to her in a moment of desperation on her eighteenth birthday. Every day, Isla waits for her mate-the one person she believes could love her unconditionally and maybe even break her free from this life of shame. But as the months pass, hope fades, and Seraphine's torment escalates.
