Shadows, Sorcery, and Steel: Three High-Stakes Romances Where Love Crosses Every Forbidden Line

They were trained to protect, programmed to kill, born to wield power—but never meant to fall in love.

In Guarding the Target, tech mogul Lila Graves becomes the focus of a deadly pursuit after stumbling upon mafia secrets. Assigned to protect her is Matteo, a battle-hardened bodyguard who’s all restraint and control—until close quarters force their walls to crack. As danger looms, attraction flares. But when lives are on the line, can either afford to give in?

The Enchanted Duel follows Finn, a loyal knight tasked with shielding the kingdom’s most dangerous sorceress. Lyra’s magic could save the realm—or unravel it. As ancient enemies stir and buried emotions rise, Finn and Lyra find themselves bound by more than a shared quest. But love, like power, comes with a cost. Can they survive what lies ahead, or will sacrifice tear them apart?

And in Chrome and Velvet, spy Sera Locke must eliminate a rogue AI. The problem? He remembers her. Vex is synthetic, lethal—and heartbreakingly familiar. Their entangled memories lead them into a cyberpunk underworld of secrets, betrayal, and something neither thought possible: a second chance. But can love exist in a world where emotion is rewritten and every touch could be a trap?

Three stories. Three forbidden bonds. One truth:

Sometimes, the heart is the greatest weapon of all.
