Sold to the Devilish CEO

Tempernce
Raine Callahan never imagined her life would spiral into the world of the elite, much less the dangerous, shadowed underworld of mafia connections. A quiet, reserved woman working at a fast food joint, Raine keeps her thoughts to herself, including her secret fascination with the complex world of desire and intimacy. She lives a life on autopilot, hiding behind her humble job and unassuming appearance. But everything changes when her debts are sold to the highest bidder—Tristan Vaughn, a powerful CEO with a dark secret. Tristan is everything Raine isn't—rich, confident, and with a dangerous charm that commands attention. He is the legitimate face of a massive construction empire, but behind closed doors, he's tangled in the ruthless world of organized crime. His dark eyes are always calculating, his presence suffocating. When Raine is delivered into his grasp, she's forced to navigate a life she never asked for, bound to a man who seems to have it all—and more. But the deeper she gets into his world, the more she realizes that Tristan isn't just the cruel, cold businessman she first met. Beneath his devilish exterior lies a complex man, one who knows how to play the game of power and control. As they struggle with the inevitable attraction between them, Raine finds herself pulled into a web of sensual tension, dangerous liaisons, and twisted power dynamics. Torn between her growing desire for the man who now owns her and the secrets she's starting to uncover about him, Raine must navigate the treacherous waters of her forced submission, her fantasies becoming real in ways she never expected. Will she be able to retain control over her life and her heart, or will she succumb to the devilish CEO who tempts her at every turn? "Sold to the Devilish CEO" is a slow-burn, dark romance that explores the raw, magnetic pull between a woman who hides her desires and the man who forces her to confront them, set against a backdrop of power, passion, and danger.

A Dangerous Obsession

Three rejections. Three shattered dreams. That was Layla’s reality, all because she was different—a half-shifter in a world obsessed with purity. Ostracized, shunned, and finally sold off like a pawn to the most feared ruler alive—the Lycan King. He was ruthless, a king with a graveyard of brides, each one a ghostly reminder of a fate worse than death. Layla loathed him. Hated the way his gaze cold and fathomless, held no warmth for her. Hated how his touch, both thrilling and terrifying, sent an uninvited chill down her spine. --- “I hate you!” I screamed, hands clenched so tight my knuckles ached. He sighed, a smirk curling at the edge of his lips, his tone mocking as he closed his book with a deliberate snap. “Stressed, are we?” he asked, strolling toward me, each step reminding me exactly who held the power here. “Lucky for you,” he drawled, rolling up his sleeves as he stopped just inches away, “I know exactly 70 ways to ease those nerves.” His fingers brushed my cheek, a touch that seemed to burn into my skin. “The first… a hug.” His voice dropped to a rough whisper as he leaned in, breath hot against my ear. “And the rest... well, that's 69? what do you say about that?" I swallowed hard, my heart thudding wildly as he tilted his head, waiting for me to react, that insufferable smirk still in place. “What’s the matter, darling?” he murmured, a taunt lingering in his gaze. --- A Dangerous Obsession Can she resist the pull, or will she dance into the flames of her own destruction? A dark dive into obsession, raw need, and the razor’s edge between desire and devastation. --- LYCAN KING CASSIAN I will tear her apart piece by piece, feeding the wildfire that grips her with each shuddered breath. Like air to flame, I’ll claim every inch, drawing heat from her skin until it sinks into her bones. Her pulse will race under my hands, her breaths shallow, pleading. Her eyes may scream, but her lips will still murmur my name. That first taste of fear will only feed something deeper—a need that burns through her veins, molten and fierce. And just when she’s too far gone to turn back, I’ll twist the knife, giving her the pain she’s learned to crave. She’ll be the moth to my flame, helpless against the very thing that will consume her.
