Introduction
But the price to bring the king out of exile is higher than she could have imagined. Nicholas doesn't want money. He wants her. The condition for saving Sara's life is a pact sealed at the registry office: Caroline must become his wife.
Forced into a marriage with a man who is a complete stranger, Caroline is swept into a world of unimaginable power and luxury. However, her new husband is an enigma. Cold, possessive, and with a dangerous temper, he hides dark secrets, including a strange condition that makes him averse to the touch of any woman—except her.
As she struggles to navigate this dangerous game of submission and desire, her past returns to haunt her. Is this marriage her salvation or a gilded prison? And what will happen when the man who bought her life discovers that she may be the only cure for the darkness that consumes him?
Chapter 1
“Edward, I'm pregnant.”
Claire's words echoed like thunder.
Caroline's eyes widened. Her body went cold, her fingers trembled, as if the strength had suddenly been ripped from her.
“What?!” Edward's voice exploded in the silence, stunned.
But Claire didn't back down. On the contrary, her lips curved into a sweet smile—too sweet. She threw herself back into his arms and repeated, louder, almost shouting for the whole world to hear:
“I'm expecting your child, Edward! Our child!”
Caroline bit her lip until she tasted the metallic taste of blood.
Her heart was beating so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her mouth.
No... this can't be happening...
Edward lowered his head, trying to digest the news. “When...? How...?”
“A month ago.” Claire looked up, staring at him with feigned tenderness. "That time... remember? When my sister went to a photo shoot? At the window of your house..."
Caroline felt the ground disappear beneath her feet.
The bay window.
Her favorite place.
The place where she lay down to read, dream, smile... And that was where they...
Her stomach churned, and tears blurred her vision.
Claire then slowly looked away from Edward and fixed her eyes exactly where Caroline was hiding.
A calculated look.
A smile of victory.
“It was that day.”
Caroline put her hand to her mouth to stifle a sob.
She knew I was here... she wanted me to hear!
Her chest burned.
Every breath was like a knife.
When Edward, still in shock, put his arm around Claire's waist and they began to approach, Caroline couldn't take it anymore.
She ran.
The lights in the hallway blinded her. The sound of her heels echoed like desperate footsteps.
The alcohol mixed with panic made everything blurry.
I need to get out of here... I need to disappear...
Suddenly, she bumped into someone. The impact almost knocked her over.
“It's her.” A man's deep voice sounded cold.
Two strong hands grabbed her by the arms.
“Let me go! You're wrong!” Caroline screamed, trying to break free, but the men were too strong.
Despair took over, tears running down her face.
“Let me go! Please!”
But no one listened.
The world went black.
At the Presidential Collinsite...
Nicholas Wolf entered with firm steps, exuding power. Every gesture was authoritative, calculated, almost cruel.
When the door locked behind him, he frowned.
He answered his cell phone. “What kind of joke is this, Hiago?”
“Relax, brother.” The cheeky voice on the other end seemed amused. “This time I chose well. A woman who will make you forget the world.”
Nicholas clenched his jaw. “Open this door now.”
“No. Enjoy the gift.” Click.
Nicholas lowered the phone, his eyes flashing with anger.
That's when he heard it.
The sound of water.
A soft, innocent song.
He walked to the bathroom door. He pushed it open.
The steam escaped like a curtain.
And there she was.
Caroline.
Wet, vulnerable, too beautiful to be real. Her eyes sparkled even through her dry tears, as if they held a thousand galaxies.
Nicholas stood silent.
His heart—accustomed to iron and ice—faltered.
Who is this woman?
She was truly beautiful. Beautiful enough to take any man's breath away.
But to him, it meant nothing. Not even the most beautiful of women could pique his interest.
Nicholas Wolf watched her for a few seconds, impassive, before issuing the order in an icy voice:
“Get out of there. You have one minute to disappear from my room.”
The woman slowly raised her eyes.
First, she frowned, as if trying to understand who he was. Then she stared at him. And silently, she reached out her hand.
He didn't move. He didn't respond.
Suddenly, her fingers closed around his pants.
Nicholas froze. His muscles immediately tensed.
Normally, at this point, nausea would set in. Or the uncontrollable itching of his skin, which made him lose his mind.
But... nothing happened.
What do you mean?
Nicholas Wolf had the diagnosis that defined his life: Antisocial Personality Disorder.
Women were repulsive to him. Untouchable.
Except for blood ties, no one could get close to him.
Until that moment.
His gaze darkened, confused.
And then something unprecedented happened: a flash of surprise appeared in the depths of his eyes.
Before he could react, she was already standing. Her delicate arms wrapped around his neck and, on tiptoe, her lips touched his.
It was a soft kiss. But direct.
Too hot for a man who knew no warmth.
She pulled away slightly, and in her eyes there was despair, pain, pleading.
“Help me...”
The request echoed in the silence.
–
When Caroline Ford opened her eyes, she was alone.
The huge bed around her seemed to swallow her up. But the sound of water in the bathroom revealed that he was still there.
She sat up, bewildered.
Her mind went blank for a few seconds until, like a violent wave, the memories of the previous night came flooding back.
The blood drained from her face.
She turned pale.
My God... what have I done?
Frightened, Caroline jumped out of bed, ignoring the pain in her body. She dressed hurriedly, pulling on her clothes with trembling hands, and walked toward the door. I need to get out of here before he leaves...
But just as she took three steps, the bathroom door opened.
Nicholas appeared.
Wearing only a towel around his waist, with broad shoulders, a firm abdomen, and wet hair dripping down his temples.
He was the living image of a fallen god.
And he saw her.
Nicholas' gaze swept silently across the room until it settled on the messy bed—empty. A trace of confusion passed through his eyes.
He picked up his cell phone and called.
“Luan.”
On the other end, a lazy voice:
“Nick? What made you call now? Are you going to tell me you finally became human?”
Nicholas ignored the provocation. “There was a woman in my room last night.”
There was an immediate silence.
Then a cough, as if the other person had choked.
“What?! Repeat that. A woman... with you? You two...
”Mm," Nicholas replied casually.
“Damn, Nick!” Luan coughed, laughed, coughed again, incredulous. “You hate being touched. I remember once when a woman just touched your arm and you washed your hands ten times.”
Nicholas was silent. His eyes narrowed.
“She's different.”
“Different how...?”
“My body doesn't reject her touch.” His voice was firm, but there was a strange hesitation. “On the contrary... I like it when she gets close.”
Nicholas closed his eyes for a moment. Her light perfume was still impregnated on his skin.
And for the first time in years, he felt... human.

The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.

Lightborn: The Demon’s Bond
The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
Ruined : You will always be mine.
“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.
Asher was what I wanted , what I truly craved until it was too late. An orphan should never fall in love with someone out of their reach. I thought loving him was the right thing to do until he revealed his true identity and Ruined me. I was ruined for everyone one else . I could still feel his touch, it was as if it was etched into my skin. I tired to avoid him but fate wouldn't let it happen.
The Sterling's were the most powerful in Havenwood and Dorian Sterling was off limits.
As an orphan finding out you still have people looking for you is hard to take but when it turns out to be people of wealth and standing I took the other road and ran, but running led me right back to the place I was avoiding and the person I was avoiding.
Asher and Dorling Sterling one and the same. When his first love shows up and along with everyone that has set out to ruin me, I prayed that he could protect me.

In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.

“There are no limits between us,” he chuckled, the mirth sparkling in his gorgeous eyes. “And all of this stems from the night you gave me both pain and pleasure. I’m simply returning the favor.”
He took two steps forward, and I stepped back. “But…” The memory of what I had done filled me with fear, and I knew I had to get out of there. “I…”
“No, Firecat.” He placed an index finger on my lips. “This will take your mind off that son of a bitch.” His strong hands pulled me by the waist until I felt his hard manhood.
