Six years later, she was forced to marry the cold and ruthless billionaire president of DT Holdings, Lucas Lopez. “Since she wants to play with me, I will play with her till the end. I will make sure that she will heavily regret her decision to marry me for the rest of her life!”
Chapter 1
In Country C, New York City.
In the luxurious five star hotel suite, Lina Maria fixes her earrings as she looked at herself in the full-length mirror. Tonight, she is wearing a designer’s champagne off-shoulder gown made of silk, that accentuates her perfect figure.
Lina Maria is a beautiful woman, born with elegant and distinctive features. There were countless of men chasing her, but she has never accepted any one of them. She would always remember the promise that her first love made to her in high school, “Wait for me, you will be the only girl that I will marry!”
They promised to stay in contact when the boy had to leave the country to pursue his studies overseas. Lina Maria had never forgotten the meticulous love and care that the boy had given to her. She vowed in her heart that she would only want to marry him.
Many years have passed, she has since graduated from university and has just started her work as a fashion designer in her family’s company. However, the boy has never contacted her. She had tried searching for him, but was unable to find any information about this boy. It felt as though her high school love was just a dream.
Has he forgotten about her? Has he forgotten about the promise he made? Is he already married? Does he already have a family?
Today is the day that she is going to meet the man that her father had arranged for her to marry. She is only 23, and is in no rush to get married. However, her father Gabriel has been in a poor health condition and has been hoping for a good man to take care of his daughter when he is gone.
Lina Maria’s mother and grandparents have passed away in an accident when she was young and her father is the only family member she is left with. Gabriel has always doted on Lina Maria and has never failed to provide her with the best.
Even though her family is not the wealthiest, it is said that the Lin Family is still one of the most prestigious families in the country. The Lin Corporation has dominated the fashion industry for tens of decades, and remains as a domestically renowned company.
Lina Maria had previously rejected Gabriel’s wishes of marrying this man on multiple occasions. The reason is simple, she just wanted to wait for her first love to come back. She loves the boy with all her heart and she trust that the boy would come back and marry her.
However, she knows that her father’s health is deteriorating, and so she decided to fulfil his last wish. Gabriel also wishes for her future husband to help Lina Maria in managing the Lin Corporation since Lina Maria has no experience and interest in doing so.
“I’m sorry to break our promise. I sincerely hope that you will be able to find a girl you love.” Lina Maria said to herself with teary eyes. She walked out of her hotel room, and left towards the ballroom with a heavy and regretful heart.
Lina Maria elegantly held on to her long dress as she continuously step on the marble finishing of the grand hotel lobby. She smiled and nodded at the staffs who greeted her politely as she walked by.
As she was walking towards the grand ballroom, she saw a familiar face that flashed by. Her heart stopped at that instant. “Is that him?”
Lina Maria walked quickly in the direction that the man has left. Unfortunately, she has lost him in the crowd.
...
In the grand ballroom of Country C’s best five star hotel, only the most prestigious families and famous figures with high status gathered. It was the Wang Family’s tradition to organise a yearly charity auction.
The Wang Family is one of the richest families in the world. Their family business, DT Holdings, spans across industries - technology, health care, commercial real estate, car and automobile, banking, oil, and tourism. As such, the Wang Family naturally became the top 5 richest billionaire families in the world.
Apart from hosting the charity auction today, it was also an opportune time for the Wang Family to announce the new president of DT Holdings, Lucas Lopez.
Lucas Lopez is the only grandson of the Wang Family and has always been his family’s source of pride and joy.
Although he has a sister, Sarah, she is currently pursuing her acting career and has never been interested in taking over their family’s business.
Lucas Lopez has perfect facial features and body outline, and it is said that even the best actors cannot outshine him. His cold, swift and decisive personality is well-known in the business industry. He is also famous for only hiring men to work for him, and has no interests and patience in communicating with the opposite gender.
It is a well-known fact that this auction is an exclusive event and only the people whom the Wang Family favoured, were invited to the event. The auction showcases only the finest and rarest items in the world, and the lowest bidding starts from hundred millions of dolor.
Although Lina Maria is from a family of high status, she does not like to attend such social events and gatherings. She then decided to walk towards a quieter corner of the ballroom, away from the crowd.
While walking there, she unknowingly caught the attention of many people due to her beauty and elegance.
“Wow! Who is that girl over there? She is so pretty!”
“If only I can have half of her beauty...”
“Why haven’t I seen her before? She could easily be a famous model or actress with her looks like that!”
Lina Maria was embarrassed by the loud and excited comments from the people around her. After all, she went to the side of the ballroom to be alone. Who knows, she has attracted even more attention!
Not long after, Gabriel noticed that Lina Maria was standing alone by the side of the ballroom and signalled for her to join him.
Gabriel has been chatting happily with Granny Wang, who is Lucas Lopez’s grandmother. He can be considered a very good friend of Granny Wang since they have known each other for decades.
Granny Wang has always favoured Gabriel especially since he has once saved her life before.
When Lina Maria walked over and greeted her, Grandma Wang smiled at her dotingly and said, “Good girl, you have not met my grandson yet, have you?”

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.
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 rejected white luna
The Family Books 1-3 (A Mafia romance)
The saint to my sinner. with her innocent eyes and devilish curves.
A Madonna that was meant to be admired but never touched.
Until someone took that innocence from her.
She left.
The darkness in my heart was finally complete.
I avenged her, I killed for her, but she never came back.
Until I saw her again. An angel dancing around a pole for money.
She didn’t know I owned that club. She didn’t know I was watching.
This time I won’t let her escape.
I will make her back into the girl I knew.
Whether she likes it or not.
2/ Judge and Jury- I can’t stop watching her.
I’m not even sure I want to.
Taylor Lawson, blonde, beautiful, and totally oblivious to how much dangers she’s in.
She’s also the one juror in my upcoming murder trial that hasn’t been bought.
The one who can put me behind bars for a very long time.
I know I should execute her.
After all that’s what I do.
I am the Judge.
I eliminate threats to The Family.
And Taylor is a threat.
But I don’t want to kill her.
Possessing her, making her love me seems like a much better plan for this particular Juror.
3/ Rags and Ritches-
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.
Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
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.

To them, Zirah is nothing but a pawn, an object to be used, discarded, or destroyed.
But they underestimate her.
If they think she will cower, they are wrong.
If they believe she will bow, they will bleed.
And if they want to break her, they’ll have to survive her first.
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.”
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.
