Bride of the reaper

The door opened making the bell ring, Ashley turned her head to see the man in her dreams walk up to her in real life—wiping her eyes the words 'you don't belong here' rang in her mind. She definitely was still Dreaming cause "what the..." **** ***** *** **** ******** Ashley Moren is a stubborn, soft-hearted healer who believes her life will never stretch beyond her small, magic-hating town. That illusion shatters when a reaper from the Underrealm claims her as his bride and drags her into a world of ancient creatures, fractured prophecies, and restless souls. Ashley is alive. She is not supposed to be. Her existence disrupts the natural order, sending tremors through all seven realms. As secrets surface, Ashley learns she is meant to become the anchor that binds death, fate, and creation together. Accepting the role would preserve the realms… but it will cost her the life she loves and eventually, her mortality. Refusing the bond is no better. Without her, the balance will collapse, tearing the realms apart. Caught between sacrifice and survival, Ashley must decide whether to surrender to a destiny written long before her birth or defy fate itself — even if doing so means choosing how, and when, she dies.

TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL'S TOUCH

I married a monster to save my sister. Now he won't let me go. I have forty-eight hours to find $750,000, or my sixteen-year-old sister becomes collateral damage for our father's gambling debts. I'm a pediatric nurse with $340 in my bank account and zero options—until a man in a tailored suit finds me at midnight and makes an offer that sounds completely insane: Marry his employer. Ask no questions. Obey without hesitation. In exchange? Every debt erased. My family protected. Forever. I sign the contract without reading it. I don't meet my husband until our wedding day. Killian Archer is the most beautiful—and terrifying—man I've ever seen. Ice-blue eyes that miss nothing. A presence that makes grown men step back. And everyone in this city either worships him or fears him. The ceremony takes eleven minutes. He slides a platinum ring onto my finger like a shackle and says three words that change everything: "You're mine now." I expect a wedding night. Instead, he shows me to a separate bedroom and gives me rules: Don't leave without security. Don't ask about his business. Don't test him. He keeps his distance—cold, controlled, untouchable. But I see the cracks. The way his hands clench when I walk past. The way he watches me like I'm something he wants to devour. The way he stands outside my bedroom door at 3am like he's fighting a war with himself. He says our marriage is just business. Everything about him screams obsession. Then I discover the truth: Killian didn't just pay my father's debts. He created them. Bought out the loan sharks. Orchestrated my desperation. Trapped me so completely that I had no choice but to come to him. Because six months ago, Killian Archer saw me in a coffee shop and decided I was his. He doesn't do love. Doesn't do relationships. Doesn't let anyone close. But he'll manipulate me, bind me, cage me—make me want to stay even if it destroys us both. When I confront him, he doesn't apologize. Doesn't even pretend to feel guilty. "I take what I want, Isla. And I've wanted you since the moment I saw you." I should run. I try to run. But Killian's enemies are circling, and the most dangerous man in the city is somehow the safest place I've ever been. Then his rival kidnaps me to get revenge—and I watch Killian become something worse than a monster to get me back. I should be horrified by the violence. The darkness. The blood on his hands. Instead, I realize I'm falling in love with this beautiful, broken, obsessive man who would burn the entire world down before letting me be hurt. Our contract says eighteen months. But Killian Archer doesn't know how to let go. And I'm starting to think I don't want him to.
