Introduction
Chapter 1
Josephine Kennedy waited and waited at the Rooftop Garden Restaurant, but Gideon Getty was nowhere to be seen. Instead of her husband, what arrived was a picture message from an unknown number.
The image showed a woman, face hidden, her voluptuous upper body bare as a pair of large hands cupped and kneaded her full breasts. The wedding band glinting on that hand's ring finger sent Josephine a crystal-clear message: her husband, Gideon, was cheating!
On their third wedding anniversary, when she'd been filled with joyful anticipation, this devastating revelation instantly brought tears to her eyes. Droplets fell onto her phone screen, obscuring the wedding band.
Josephine glanced at the carefully wrapped gift she'd prepared. Now... it was pointless.
Wiping away her tears, she rose gracefully to leave when she spotted him—Gideon in his impeccable suit, sitting in a corner with a woman intimately clinging to his arm. The rage of betrayal surged beyond control.
Josephine marched straight to their table and confronted him, "Since you're bold enough to parade your mistress right in front of me, why not join me at my table?"
"Jojo?" Gideon looked momentarily flustered, but quickly regained his composure. "Let me introduce you—this is Easton's girlfriend, Lorelei Kelly."
Easton Williams was Gideon's lifelong friend, notorious for being a playboy.
Afraid Josephine wouldn't believe him, Gideon continued earnestly, "Easton's preparing a surprise proposal. He asked me to bring her here first. If you don't believe me, wait until he arrives and he'll tell you himself."
Under Gideon's icy warning glare, Lorelei reluctantly forced a smile. "That's right, Josephine. Please don't misunderstand us.Gideon and I just arrived early to check things out."
A crowd of onlookers was gathering. Without concrete evidence, pursuing this would only make her look foolish.
"By the way, Jojo, what brings you here?" Gideon suddenly changed the subject.
Josephine gave a cold laugh. "Why am I here? Didn't you see my message?" Several days ago, she'd discovered her pregnancy and immediately called Gideon. But he'd cut the call short, claiming he was busy. She'd decided to surprise him, so she hadn't told him then.
"Today's our anniversary," she said with a bitter smile. "I even sent you a message this morning. Didn't you receive it?"
Gideon genuinely hadn't. He shot a subtle glance at Lorelei before pulling Josephine into his arms. "I'm sorry. I've been in meetings all day—my head's a mess. I've had your gift ready since this morning. I'll call Paul to bring it up right away."
In Gideon's embrace, Josephine caught the scent of cheap, pungent perfume. She felt nauseated—not just physically, but emotionally. She wanted to expose him right there, but she knew Gideon too well. Faced with accusations without proof, he'd have a thousand excuses ready.
Fighting the urge to vomit, Josephine discreetly pushed away from him. "They're planning a proposal—we shouldn't intrude. Let's go." Her tone was casual, offering Gideon an easy exit.
They returned to their table, where Gideon immediately grabbed the gift box. "For me?" He started to unwrap it.
Josephine had imagined countless times how Gideon would react when he opened the gift and saw the pregnancy test results inside. Would he cheer with joy? Or tear up with emotion? But now... it wasn't the right time.
"What is it..." Just as Gideon was about to lift the lid, Josephine snatched the box away. "It's just a little something. Let's wait until we get home."
At that moment, their driver arrived with several gift bags of various sizes—clearly not hastily purchased. But Josephine couldn't summon any happiness. Lorelei had disappeared from the nearby table, and despite the talk of a proposal, Easton never showed up. The truth was obvious.
"Jojo, happy third anniversary." Gideon raised his glass.
Josephine didn't move. "I suddenly don't feel well. I want to go home."
"What's wrong? Should we go to the hospital?"
"No, I'm just tired. I need to rest." Seeing Josephine's unusually pale face, Gideon didn't press further.
At Evercrest Manor, Josephine had secretly removed the pregnancy test results from the gift box while in the car. Once home, she went straight to bed, burying herself under the covers, thinking about that photo, about that woman...
Suddenly, she found herself enveloped in warm arms. His hot palms traveled from her waist to her lower abdomen, then continued upward.
Josephine looked down at the softly glowing wedding ring, at those same long fingers from the photo, and felt nothing but revulsion. "Let's just sleep."
Sensing her resistance, Gideon didn't push. He whispered in her ear, "Jojo, I love you. That's never changed. I've thought it all through—we can adopt children. One, two... however many. I can provide for them all. As long as you're by my side, nothing else matters."
Hearing this, Josephine couldn't deny feeling touched. She tested the waters, "Actually... the doctor said I have a chance of getting pregnant. It might happen any day now."
"Childbirth is hard on a woman." Gideon paused, then added lightly, "I don't want you to go through that pain. Besides, you'd focus all your attention on the baby—I'd get jealous."
With her back to Gideon, Josephine smirked coldly at his contradictions. Just moments ago, he'd talked about adopting multiple children. Now, in the blink of an eye, he was jealous of a hypothetical baby. Was he truly concerned about her suffering, or did he simply not want to have children with her?
She thought about all these years—how her failure to conceive had led to her mother-in-law forcing bitter herbal remedies down her throat, enduring the cold stares and harsh treatment from his family.
And now that she was finally pregnant, Josephine realized her husband didn't seem to want their child at all. What had all her years of effort and heartache been for?
Perhaps due to pregnancy fatigue, Josephine didn't wake until noon. The housekeeper, Mila, seeing her emerge from the bedroom, quickly served the prepared meal. "Mr. Getty called earlier. He said he's working late and won't be home tonight."
Josephine said nothing. Working late? Even in the early days when Gideon was building his business from scratch, hustling for clients, he always came home, no matter how late.
It seemed that for the past six months, he'd found various excuses to stay out all night. Had the affair started back then?
As she pondered this, her phone chimed with a notification. Josephine checked it—the same unknown number.

Inked Adonis - Mafia Romance
Of me saying I want to climb him like a tree.
And he just. Texted. Back.
It's the dog's fault, really.
If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here:
With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen.
Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it.
(Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.)
He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.
I'm still pinching myself as me and the bestie resume our walk.
“Methinks you had a little crush on him,” she accuses.
Not thinking and a little flustered by the whole experience, I reply, “I’d wrap my legs around his waist tighter than that leash.”
THAT'S when she reveals that she'd been recording my response.
THAT'S when she gives me the most devilish grin I've ever seen and says, “You're welcome.”
And THAT'S when she hands me my phone and reveals...
She sent the recording to him.
My heart is in my throat as those three little dots appear…
Then a text.
“PROVE IT.”
Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.

Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
My Husband's Secretary Wore My Dress
Those words shattered Vivian's heart.
For three years, she endured her husband's coldness and his secretary's endless provocations.
She never knew that the woman he trusted most had stolen her identity.
Or that the man she loved had secretly loved her all along.
When the truth finally came out, it was already too late.
Vivian had divorced him.
She had disappeared with his unborn child.
And she had no intention of coming back.
Five years later, the former ballerina returned as the sole heiress of a powerful family.
Standing beside her was a little girl with eyes identical to Caden Lux's.
The billionaire who once ignored her had gone mad.
He blocked her in the dressing room, knelt before her, and even accepted the possibility that another man had taken his place.
Because losing his pride was nothing.
Losing Vivian had nearly killed him.
But after everything he had done…
Could she ever forgive the man who chose another woman over his own wife?
The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.

Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
