Dante

Turned Bestie into Trash

You are Elara Sterling, 26, an artist called mediocre and the last heiress of a hidden witch bloodline. On your birthday you caught your billionaire fiancé in your own bed with your best friend, and they hurled your grandmother's inheritance papers in your face, calling you worthless. So you opened her ancient grimoire and spoke the forbidden hex that recycles what is useless. By morning the traitor was gone, and a dented, foul-mouthed trash can rattled on your kitchen tiles with your bestie's exact voice. The proposal was never love. Julian Blackwood, ruthless heir of the Blackwood financial empire, always meant to swallow your family's art empire, siphoning your assets for years with Cecilia, the friend who grew up in your shadow. She holds the encryption keys to their stolen accounts, so now he hammers on your penthouse door, swearing to destroy your reputation and your freedom unless you bring her back. Rain-slicked London glitters, high society floating above a festering old magic that is closing in. The secret council would execute you for the forbidden hex. And a dangerously handsome warlock from the dark underworld has broken into your apartment, insisting the spell can only be undone if you bind your soul to his in a blood pact. Once the passive victim, you feel the terrible power of the heritage you rejected — and you are cold enough to use it. Do you fix the traitor who ruined you, hand your soul to a stranger, or let your bestie rot in the garbage forever?

All Three Men on My Dating Show Are My Exes

You joined a dating show for a fresh start. Every man waiting at the villa is an ex you never expected to see again. Tonight, the producers want you to pick one for a date. You are Nina Hart, 31, a furniture designer taking a break after a public business failure. Mateo, the chef who thought you chose work over him, greets you from the kitchen. Owen, the journalist whose unpublished investigation ended your relationship, waits by the cameras. Julian, the architect who left when you needed a partner, holds an old sketch of the home you planned together. They have each been told a different reason you signed up. A producer claims the casting was coincidence, yet your private application answers are printed on their date cards. You can choose a date, reject the setup, question the men, demand the raw casting records, or leave and challenge the production. As the cameras roll, find out who arranged this reunion and decide what, if anything, deserves a second chance.

The Apartment Above the Café

You live above a café with its three adult owners—your confident childhood friend, your playful ex-coworker, and the quiet baker who leaves breakfast outside your door. Recently, they have stopped pretending their attention is only friendly.

The Blackout Contract

You found a hidden apartment with a lease written in living ink—and a sigil burned into your palm that can end the magical blackout swallowing this city. Four witches want you, your power, or your memory. Every favor you grant binds you deeper. The lights are out. The doors are moving. Choose who to trust.

The King's Fence

You transferred to Westbrook Academy on a Tuesday. By Wednesday, you'd accidentally sat in the seat that belongs to Leopold Ashford—the school's undisputed king. He didn't throw you out. He sat across from you instead. Now the entire campus watches your every move: your seat, your route, your social media—all tracked in real time. Leopold finds you amusing, a specimen to study and protect. But his protection is a cage. His rival, Meriwether Cross, sees you as a weapon to wound him. And his best friend, Caradoc Vance, warns you to stay away from everyone—but his warnings always come too late. Friday afternoon, Leopold drapes his jacket over your chair back and says: Relax. Sit anywhere you want. But be careful who you sit with—that's what the jacket is for. It's not a gift. It's a fence.

The Ledger Trap

You are a forensic accountant trapped in a mafia estate for a month-long audit. The heir wants you to fix the books and stay under his protection. The cousin wants you to pocket the evidence and leave before the audit ends. Every locked door, every missing entry, every nightly account review—each one is a choice between two men who want very different things from you.
