Want Nothing But You

Dominic Rice was the CIA’s most lethal ghost—until the day his own agency erased him. Framed for a massacre he didn’t commit, Rice is left for dead in a black-site prison in the middle of the Sahara. But death doesn’t want him, and the men who buried him just made the biggest mistake of their careers. Armed with nothing but a smuggled SIM card, a broken body, and fifteen years of black-ops training, Rice escapes into the underworld of international espionage. The target isn’t just the corrupt spymaster who sold him out. It’s the phantom organization pulling the strings behind the West’s most volatile conflicts—a shadow syndicate known only as The Meridian. Hunted by the world’s most sophisticated intelligence agencies and a rogue Delta Force operator with a personal grudge, Rice must navigate the violent borderlands between Europe and Africa. Every ally has a price. Every step forward is booby-trapped. And the one woman who knows the truth about his past might be the deadliest weapon of all. To clear his name and stop a geopolitical catastrophe that will ignite World War III, Rice must become the monster his enemies fear. This is not about justice. This is about extraction.

Ryan Reeves was the hidden force behind the success of the Harrington family’s tech empire, but they treated him like trash, especially after he disguised himself as a bankrupt man to see their true colors. Betrayed by his wife Claire and framed by her family, Ryan walked away and got even more pissed when Claire's brother spoiled the only thing that remained of his mother. Then came the news, his father, the feared mafia king, was dead and he was painstakingly forced back into a world he wanted nothing to do with. Still, Ryan swore he would never take over his father’s criminal empire. But fate had other plans as he was tested greatly by a situation he can only control if he accepts to become the very thing he swore never to be — A mafia lord. Will Ryan take over his father’s legacy he swore not to acquire?

Thirty years. That's how long Dominic Moretti has ruled the criminal underworld. Rivals who challenged him are dead. Governments that investigated him gave up. At fifty-eight, he has built an empire that spans continents and commands absolute loyalty. But power means nothing when your own heart is failing. With months left to live, Dominic faces the one decision he has avoided his entire life: who inherits the throne? Three candidates stand ready. Adrian, his eldest son, burns with reckless ambition. Luca, his younger son, hides dangerous secrets behind careful silence. Vincent, his most trusted lieutenant, has served the family for twenty-five years—but loyalty can curdle into resentment. One of them is a traitor. When Dominic announces a series of tests to determine his successor, the organization fractures. A captain is murdered. A shipment vanishes. A sniper nearly takes Dominic's life in his own home. Someone inside the family is working with Sal Vane, the surviving son of a rival Dominic destroyed twenty years ago—and Sal has spent two decades waiting for this exact moment. As bodies pile up and alliances collapse overnight, Dominic must uncover the truth before the empire he bled for becomes ash. Blood makes you family. Loyalty makes you useful. But only power makes you king. And when the old king falls, the new one may have to destroy everything his father built to claim the throne.

Adrian Kane sat in silence as his wife’s voice sliced through the air. "You are nothing but a gold digger. Sign the damn papers, Adrian. I’m done clothing and feeding you." He stared at her, the faintest smirk playing at the corner of his lips. She didn’t know. Not about the penthouse they were standing in, not about the company logo stitched into her designer dress, his company’s logo. And definitely not about the fact that the man she’d been sleeping with had been losing millions to him for months. Adrian picked up the pen. “Oh, Selena…” he whispered, signing the papers. “You have no idea what you’ve just done.” Ten years of lies. One ruthless betrayal. And a comeback that will shatter everything. Adrian Kane spent a decade living as a nobody beside the woman he thought he loved. But when she hands him divorce papers and calls him a gold digger, she has no idea that she’s just signed her own downfall. Because Adrian isn’t poor, he’s the billionaire CEO she’s been working for, the owner of the house she lives in, and the man her new lover has been losing to for years. Now, with a new wife at his side and the truth in his hands, Adrian will dismantle the world his ex-wife thought she ruled. But in this game of power, love, and betrayal… even billionaires aren’t safe from heartbreak.

They dragged his dying mother out of her hospital bed like she was garbage. Joshua Hart had endured three years of humiliation as the powerless live-in son-in-law of the wealthy Cavesh family. He swallowed every insult. Every sneer. Every reminder that he was “nothing.” All for one reason—his mother’s life depended on their money. Then, on the day she needed emergency surgery, they cut him off. “Admit your mistake. Apologize,” his wife said coldly. “Maybe then I’ll consider helping.” At the hospital, nurses laughed in his face. “Swipe your card, beggar.” “You can’t even afford oxygen in here.” They called security. They called him worthless. They didn’t know that twenty minutes earlier, a forgotten investment had turned him into the majority shareholder of Galaxy Tech. They didn’t know his account now held billions. They didn’t know the “pathetic son-in-law” had just wired one hundred million dollars to the very hospital trying to throw his mother into the street. When the director whispered, “Joshua Hart… the transfer came from you?” He simply picked up his black card and looked at them one by one. “You were right about one thing,” he said calmly. “I won’t beg.” Now the people who mocked him will learn a brutal truth: Never humiliate a man who has nothing left to lose—especially when he becomes everything.

The glass floor cracked under Hazel Kingsley's feet forty-three floors above the river, and her own brother backed off bridge and left her standing on it. Her husband, David, was mopping the basement. Her family calls him Probation: the engineering student who never graduated, the maintenance man they let her marry because they were sure she'd come to her senses. They don't know that behind the counter of a betting shop on Tanyard Road, the man they laugh at runs Keystone, the faceless firm whose seal holds up half the city's skyline. And they don't know that whoever swapped the bolts on that bridge stamped every one of them with Keystone's mark. Now the city wants Keystone's face. The golden. Boy from David's old class has stepped forward and claimed his name. The maintenance log says David was the only man in the plant room when the bridge broke. And the people who tried to kill his wife have just signed off the hospital wing where his mother works nights. If David stays hidden, they'll bury him under his own buildings. If he steps forward, everyone he loves becomes a target. So how do you prove you're the man holding up the city when the city has already decided you're nothing?

‘What will you do if the world ends tomorrow?’ Seth Holden was fed up with that question. ‘I’ll die,’ he used to joke.
