Introduction
Jackson Johnson owns a vast real estate empire across the United States. Behind that enigmatic face is nothing more than a distrustful man, obsessed with control and with an extremely private life. Because of this, his mother is obsessed with getting him to settle down at thirty years old through blind dates, but always failing. So she devises a plan to make him fall into the traps of love...
"Lies win tricks, but the truth wins the game."
Chapter 1
New York, United States
Jackson
I took a long sip of my coffee and felt the warmth as it slid down my throat; it was the best moment of the day. I finished reading the end-of-month sales analysis. A waitress approached and placed a slice of cake on the table. I frowned and looked up at her.
"I didn't order this." She smiled apologetically, her cheeks turning a pale pink.
"It's on the house." I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
"Oh, thanks." I managed a half-smile.
"Have a nice day." And without waiting for a response, she disappeared.
"Well..." I then turned my attention back to my tablet.
"Mr. Johnson..." I heard beside me and sighed, knowing it was time to go.
"So soon?" I sounded a bit irritated.
"You have a meeting at nine, we have ten minutes to get to the building."
"Alright, alright," I packed my tablet, finished the rest of my coffee, and got up to grab my coat since it was freezing cold. I weaved through the tables to reach the exit. As I stepped outside, I stopped when I saw a red-haired woman in a blood-red coat. She smiled at me.
"No way," I said to myself.
"Jackson, this time you won't escape, let's have breakfast together." I walked up to her since she was blocking the armored SUV's door.
"I think we'll leave it for another day, I have a meeting at nine and only nine minutes to get there."
She tried to pout.
"Come on, slow down a bit and have breakfast with me."
"I really can't, Georgina." I politely sidestepped, causing her to move aside automatically.
"You owe me breakfast then..." she said suddenly, as I was closing the car door. I turned to her.
"I'll call you..." Then I closed the door. She waited for the tinted window to roll down, but she'd be waiting a while. The car started moving, and finally, I could sigh.
"I hate blind dates," I muttered. My bodyguard smiled; I saw him in the rearview mirror. "I don't understand the rush to get me into a relationship."
"Your mother wants to see you married with a family in the future."
"I'm only thirty; I still have time before settling down, before living..." I turned to look out the window. What are you going to live? You're on autopilot, Jackson. Just on autopilot. Your mind is only on business.
"But with the lady you just saw, I thought there was some chemistry..." commented my security man, Richard.
"Remember, all the women who approach my mother or my family do so because they want to get close to me. And if they get close to me, they get fame, connections, and, most importantly, to tie me down in holy matrimony, and of course, my mother is happy." I snorted. "I'm like a lottery ticket..." Richard nodded with a smile, not taking his eyes off the traffic.
After the nine o'clock meeting, I focused on the new properties I was going to acquire. I was enchanted by a property in the Hamptons; the land was extensive, with a private beach, and the area had only a few neighboring houses. The farther from prying eyes, the better.
There was a knock on the door, and I announced they could come in. I heard the door open, and when I looked up, I smiled at the sight of my only brother: Jacob.
"Good morning, bro! Am I interrupting?" I quickly shook my head.
"Good morning, come in, come in. What are you up to now?" Jacob laughed.
"Can't I just come to see my little brother?" I rolled my eyes for a moment.
"Only for three seconds. Don't boast, idiot." Jacob was my twin; he sat in the chair on the other side of my desk.
"Alright, alright, I have six more clients for the eco-friendly housing project. Mentioning I'm your brother has started attracting more clients..." I shook my head silently.
"Don't say that, you also carry the Johnson name."
"But they ask: 'Johnson?' 'Are you Jackson Johnson's brother?' 'The owner of the real estate conglomerate?' Of course, they doubt it when they don't see the resemblance between us, you being brunette and me blonde." I pressed my lips together; he laughed at my irritation. "By the way, our mother didn't make a good choice with your name."
"Here we go again..." I muttered through clenched teeth.
"Seriously, 'Jack Johnson' would have been fine, but Jackson Johnson..." He smiled sarcastically; he loved to tease me about how strange my name sounded with our last name. "On the other hand, Jacob Johnson sounds like..."
"A porn star, yes, yes, yes, come on, tell me why you're here, I have..." I glanced at the clock. "I have another meeting in fifteen minutes, then I'm heading to the Hamptons to check out some properties."
"Alright, I'll get to the point." He settled into the chair and smiled. "Come with me on a blind date." I raised an eyebrow.
"Tell our mother I don't need another blind date, for God's sake! What's wrong with her these weeks? Talking to her is becoming a torture with all these blind dates." Jacob smiled. "Why doesn't she focus on you instead? You need a woman in your life, to see if the family architect settles down, gives her grandchildren and a daughter-in-law."
"Nah! I'm a free spirit, a man who prefers to enjoy and love women in my bed and then the next day, 'Nice to have met you, I'll call you.'"
"Bastard. I just ask the universe to be there to see you lose your mind over a woman who treats you the same so you know what it feels like."
"That will never happen, Jack, never."
"Never say never, JJ."

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.
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
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.
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.
The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps.

But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?

Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia
While the real heiress struggled to survive, the nanny’s daughter, Talia, was raised in luxury as the beloved jewel of the Laurent family, pampered by Camille’s parents, adored by her three brothers, and even promised to the prestigious Matteo Devereux through a childhood engagement arranged by their grandparents.
Then the truth came out.
Six months ago, Camille was finally brought back to the Laurent family. To protect the family reputation and prove their devotion to their bloodline, the Laurent patriarch transferred 35% of his personal shares into Camille’s name overnight, instantly making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in the country.
It brought anxiety to all the Laurent family. But what they don’t know…is that Camille never needed them.

Only Camille can. Their deal is simple: she becomes his personal physician, and he gives her anything she wants.
Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret
“Who said that’s still fucking true? We stopped being just man and surrogate the first time our eyes met.” He walked towards me, boring into my eyes with those eyes of his. “I fucking want you, Vanessa.”
My heart stuttered.
This could not be real.
“But the rules—“
“I made them. I can destroy them. I already destroyed them when I kissed you.” He was dangerously close now, but all I kept getting was danger signals combined with the panic, alarm, lust and above all, the guilt.
It was killing me.
Vanessa Sterling who never liked men because of what her father did to her mother ended up having a drunken one night stand with a stranger and that might end up changing her life forever.
Rodri Darnell who doesn’t want to get married or have kids but is forced to give his father a grand child, decided to use a surrogate.
