Everything at my cozy little inn was perfectly ordinary until the night I saw a dead woman stirring my soup.

Apparently, the Lantern and Lark has been home to six ghosts for years. They know every secret hidden in its walls, disapprove of my terrible love life, and are delighted when Alistair Crowe checks into room seven. He is a travelling necromancer with a sharp tongue, a dangerous reputation, and the inconvenient ability to see them too.

Alistair claims he is only passing through. The ghosts have other plans.

Between their matchmaking schemes and a string of strange disturbances around Bellweather Hollow, my quiet inn becomes livelier than ever. Then one of our spirits disappears, leaving behind a scorch mark no ordinary fire could make.

Because someone in Bellweather is stealing the dead. And my inn is next.

I walked into the security director’s office and shut the door.

“You’re here on time?” My best friend Corey rolled his eyes. “What am I supposed to be doing for you again? Stalking some woman you met?”

“It’s not stalking.”

“Whatever you call it, it’s highly illegal. But since you said it was love at first sight, I guess I can make an exception.”

“First of all, it’s not love. Second of all, I don’t even know who she is.”

“So, why am I hacking into the security footage of Pacific Bay Lounge at seven in the morning?”

I sighed. “Because you’re my best friend and an employee. Don’t act like this is against your morals or something, Corey. You do this all the time.”

“I do, huh?” He laughed. “What’s the time frame?”

“New Year’s Eve between eleven thirty and midnight.”

He began typing away at his keyboard and the twenty massive screens that covered his office wall began to illuminate in grids and static.

My eyes focused on the screens that were now showing people walking in and out of the lounge. “She was wearing a short black dress. Is there any way you could color code this thing by clothes or search for people by their hair color? She’s a redhead.”

He looked at me and raised his eyebrow. The screens started to show the pier action in slow motion. People were lounging on couches, drinking beers, and dancing next to the speakers.

“Wait.” I stepped closer to the screens. “That’s her. Pause it.”


Olivia is almost forty and Jason is younger-a lot younger. She is divorced because her former best friend was pregnant with her now former husband's baby. Jason Ice is a gorgeous billionaire with an appalling childhood.
What makes a single and sexy young man fall in love with a mature woman?
Is it a brief hormonal attraction or a late coming soul resonance?
Are they brave enough to cross the age boundaries?
Before considering all these questions, they are deeply addicted to each other…..

As the daughter of the Alpha of the Black Moon Pack, Agatha was not respected within the pack. She wondered why Alpha and Luna had taken a fancy to her sister and treated her badly. One day, while on patrol along the border, she felt a tear in her heart and went home to rest.
When she opened the door, she saw her mate and her sister, Vera in bed.
How the next?

In the shadow of duty, Alpha Logan shunned the notion of love, a luxury his burdened heart couldn't entertain. "Emotions are a weakness," he'd declare, his voice a fortress against the world. Yet, Aella's arrival, a spectral beauty with a haunted past, beckoned him to question his own edicts.

"Why do you resist?" her voice would dance through the twilight, challenging his resolve.

"It's loss I cannot bear," he'd answer, his words heavy with unspoken fear.

Their exchanges, laced with the melodrama of unbidden desire, hinted at the possibility of solace in togetherness. "Dare we dream?" she'd ask, her gaze an invitation to the unknown.

"Perhaps dreams are what we need," he'd concede, their hands brushing, a silent accord forming.

Their story—a testament to the pull of destiny and the power of choice—promised a love both threatening and sublime. "With you, I might dare," he'd whisper, their fate hanging in the balance of those words.

After Aria sneaks out to a party despite being grounded by her father, it becomes her last straw as her father decides to send her to live with her mother in Paris who is married to a powerful french billionaire, Valentin Montclair.

Aria fees out of place on this new world, and sooner than she expects she falls in love with her stepbrothers which isn’t only dangerous but forbidden.
Along the lines, she finds out the Montclair family is more than meets the eye.

As she navigates love, betrayal and a truth that could shatter the entire family, choosing the wrong brother could cost her everything. Or worse, falling for them at all.

Cattleya Sullivan, a billionaire heiress, has everything money can buy but craves what it can't—Revenge.

Her plan is to seduce the devilish mafia lord, and her prize is to break his heart!

But not until one passionate, sinful night unfolds between her and Jaxon Moretti, whose very name sends shivers down the city's spine.

But as the reality of her dangerous game dawns on her, she realizes that the price of playing with fire may be more than she's willing to pay—It may be her very life.

"YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE FROM ME, CATTLEYA SULLIVAN!" Jaxon Moretti growled.

I never thought this was a moment I would have to witness, my fiance, the absolute love of my life, cheating on me with one of my best friends.
"That was incredible, as always," Haley said with a seductive tone "No man has ever made me come as you do,"
Derek responded with a low growl "You're making me want to make love to you again..."
My hands shook through my anger. It seemed as though they both knew I was standing outside the door, and just needed to brag about their sexual exploits I hadn't known about.
"So when are you going to tell Alyssa about us?" Haley asked.
"Soon," Derek replied "Once the wedding is official, Alyssa and I can begin the process of making a child, once my heir is born then Alyssa will have fulfilled her use to me," he paused "You and I can raise the child as our own, our own little family."
"The very idea of you having to make a child with Alyssa makes me so…" she paused. "Jealous."
As a human, I was told that the mate relationship among werewolves is considered divine and undeniable. Believing in this, I uprooted my human life to reside in the world of werewolves with my so-called fated mate. However, my expectations were shattered when I discovered that all of this was merely a deception, and that I was nothing more than a tool for childbirth.
One thing was clear to me - I wasn't going to let Derek and Haley get away with this deceit.

Raine is the daughter of the Silver Pack Alpha, yet she lives nothing like one. Born wolfless, she is seen as a shame, ignored by her parents and quietly despised by the pack.
She exists in the shadow of her perfect sister who gets everything that was ever hers, surviving on silence and retreat. Everything changes the moment she steps into the Lycan palace.
Chosen among the shewolves presented to the Lycan Grand Prince, a male known for his ruthless nature and cold heart, Raine is thrust into a strange world than the one she left behind.
Will this selection finally change her fate for the better, or will it drag her deeper into a destiny she was never meant to survive?
Raphael held onto her tightly, burying his face in her neck to take a sniff.
"Mate," he murmured softly, breathing in her scent.
Then his expression changed.
His brows furrowed, and confusion crossed his face. In the next moment, his expression hardened with displeasure.
Suddenly, he pushed her away.

Do you believe in rebirth? I do. I was betrayed and murdered by the man I loved, only to wake up in the body of his greatest fool—the spoiled heiress he's already destroyed once.

Now he's back, expecting me to fall for his charms all over again. "May I have this dance?"

Not a chance. I'm not that girl anymore.

But there's a bigger problem: the legendary Alpha King. He's just invited me to dance instead, and the look in his eyes promises anything but a simple waltz. Why is a king so interested in a pawn like me? Unless he sees the vengeful wolf hiding inside...

I have spent years living in the Underworld, a place of unending darkness where evil flourishes and evil is born. Returning to the Human Realm was supposed to be boring. My intention was to go unnoticed through this fragile world. And yet, all it took was him to shatter my plans.
A single human. That darn little prince. He always made it sound like I was a burden. With his small face and brownish puppy eyes, he did resemble a doll.
I felt a sudden surge of heat as his manhood, thick pressed against my thigh intensified. It was as if his body had responded to our closeness, and I could feel him growing harder. As we kissed, I felt myself getting lost at the moment, lost in the sensation of his lips on mine, his body pressed against me.

“When darkness sweeps in, an unlikely bond ignites.”

Avaris, a young nobleman betrayed and orphaned by those he trusted, faces death at every turn. His dark thoughts, driven by a desperate need for revenge, call forth Dyvian, a very powerful demon that has been dormant for years.

Dyvian grants Avaris's wishes, but at a steep price. However, their encounter causes an unexpected connection, binding their fates and weakening Dyvian's demonic powers.

Dyvian has to face his inner demons as his strength weakens. Now linked to Dyvian, Avaris must contend with a threat to both his and Dyvian's lives as Dyvian is forced to bring Avaris into his world of darkness.

Amidst the darkness, a forbidden attraction blossoms.

She was supposed to marry a polished mafia prince and save her dying family. Instead, her father offered her to the one man he feared most—the outlaw king who rules the roads in leather and blood. Raven Kane, known as "Ghost," is the president of the Black Vultures MC, a club that controls the smuggling routes the Italian families need to survive. He takes the mafia princess as settlement for an old blood debt, claims her under club law, and pins a property patch to her chest like a brand.

She hates him on sight.
He decides she belongs to him the moment she spits in his face.
Forced to live in his compound, ride at his back, and wear his claim in public, Isabella Moretti learns that Ghost is not just a criminal—he is a force of nature who will burn the world for what is his. Hate turns to something far more dangerous. And when the people closest to her prove they were never on her side, the outlaw king will show the entire underworld what happens when you touch what belongs to the Black Vultures.

"Temporary," I said finally. "Public only."
Aiden turned toward me. "Claire."
"Strict boundaries," I cut in. "No touching. No surprises. And this does not affect my job. If something medically relevant comes up, I act on it."
He nodded without hesitation. "Agreed."


As the team's newly appointed doctor, Claire has one unbreakable rule. Never get involved with the players.
That rule begins to crack when she reviews the medical records of Aiden, the team's star captain. His results are flawless, almost inhuman. He avoids blood tests. His strength defies logic. And behind his calm gaze lurks something predatory.
Forced into a public lie, they pretend to be a couple. But as Claire stays by his side, she starts to realize she is standing far closer to a predator than to a man.
Drawn into a dangerous lie, Claire soon realizes that Aiden's secret is far more than a personal anomaly. It is tied to an ancient race, a deadly mark, and a shadowed world that now sees her as prey.
The most dangerous thing of all is this. When you start to care about your hunter, and your hunter just happens to be a wolf...

​"I reject you, Elara. You are wolfless, weak, and unworthy of being my Luna."

​Five years later, Elara is no longer the weak girl who ran away. She is a renowned healer, raising three mischievous, powerful triplets on her own. She vowed never to return.

​But when a mysterious plague threatens the werewolf population, the Lycan King summons the world’s best healer to his court. Elara has no choice but to go.

There, she faces two problems:

​Her ex-mate, Jax, is there, and he wants her back.

​The terrifying, possessive Lycan King seems to know her secret… and he looks at her children with a suspicion that terrifies her.
​What happens when the Alpha discovers he has heirs? And what happens when the Lycan King decides he wants to be their father instead?

Lilia had once believed that Nathan Holt was the only man in the world who would ever choose her.
But he chose another woman in front of everyone, even declaring that Lilia was nothing more than a breeding tool for the Pack.
Heartbroken, Lilia fled into the forest, only to stumble upon an execution.
The man spotted her.
Kael Veyron should have killed her to silence her, but instead, he spared her and left a mark on her neck that should never have existed.
Legend has it that no woman marked by this Alpha survives past the first full moon after being marked.
And now, only a few short days remain before the curse is fulfilled.
As death draws closer with every passing day, Lilia begins to realize that the enemy who has always terrified her may be the only one who can change her fate.
But can she truly trust him?

To complete my undercover mission, I accidentally had a wild night with my target—Claire, that supremely powerful man.
I fled in terror, but left my wallet behind.
He tracked me down following the clues, but mistook my ambitious roommate Cathy for me.
Faced with the choice between becoming his woman or receiving millions in cash, Cathy didn't hesitate to lie and steal everything that should have been mine.
Meanwhile, I was inexplicably transferred to work beside him as his most inconspicuous assistant.
From then on, I was forced to watch my former roommate dressed in luxury brands, riding in expensive cars, enjoying his ultimate devotion.
She flaunted her power before me, trampling me underfoot.
And that man—while indulging his "fake" lover in every way, would always study me with probing eyes when no one was around, slowly tormenting me, closing in step by step.
"Your scent is very familiar."
When the truth was finally revealed and the impostor was exposed, he realized he had been cherishing the wrong person.
The entire city was locked down as he held me captive in his arms, his eyes red: "Susan, after playing me for so long, where do you think you're going now?"

Aysel wore her wedding ring like a shackle.

She was the perfect wife, until her husband’s betrayals stopped being secrets and started being demands. When he asked for an open marriage to legitimize his affairs, Aysel didn’t cry. She got even.

She ordered a man for the night.

He was supposed to be a tool for revenge, a way to scrub her husband’s touch from her skin. She left a stack of cash on the hotel nightstand and fled at dawn, convinced she’d never see him again.

She was wrong.

Six weeks later, a positive pregnancy test is shaking in her hands when she walks into her husband’s charity gala and bumps into him.

He isn’t a nameless call boy. He is Ruan Sinclair—a ruthless billionaire known for destroying anything in his path.

Frozen in fear, Aysel watches him cross the room, a dangerous smirk playing on his lips. He corners her against the wall.

"A call boy, huh?"

Now, Aysel is trapped. She owes a debt to the devil, and Ruan Sinclair has come to collect, starting with the secret she’s carrying.

Ariadne Caddel got the shock of her life when she visited her soon-to-be husband and met him on the bed with her stepsister. She felt betrayed by the both of them and took off her engagement ring, broke off the engagement without thinking twice. They didn't even look remorseful.
Feeling pained and dejected, Ariadne went to the closest club she could find, seduced the first man she saw and had sx with him. She decided to move away from the city and leave behind all of her past memories to start a new life.
There, she discovered that she was pregnant with quadruplets that can only be for the mysterious man she had sx with. She came back to the city to find the father of her children but the only thing she had on him was the customized bracelet with the initials "C. J. W." inscribed on it—and the only person she has heard of that bears those initials is the popular, cold-hearted, and playboy billionaire, Conrad Jared Whitlock.

Three dates this month, and I'd stopped learning their names before I saw their faces. So when my car died on the ramp and a man showed up smelling of motor oil and cold rain, I thought he was number four. I let him change my tire. I let him buy me soup.

What kind of mechanic gets to a stranded woman faster than her own tow truck?

I should have asked. I didn't — not until it was far too late to walk away.


Evelyn Hayes teaches literature, drives a car she can't afford, and hates two things: her mother's matchmaking and the trust-fund men it keeps sending her way. Her father died under one of their cars. A confidentiality agreement made it disappear.

Julian Vance fixes motorcycles across from her campus. Grease under his nails, a scar up one arm.

He never told her his last name was on half the shipping terminals in the city.

He never told her he'd opened that shop just to watch her walk through his door.

She can't feel pain. He feels everything.

Seven years ago, Sera Westbrook walked away from the only man she ever loved and vanished without a word.

Now she's back—harder, colder, and carrying a secret the wasteland's corporate overlords will kill to reclaim. She can't feel pain. Can't feel fear. Can't feel anything at all. She's a living weapon with a countdown clock, and the only thing keeping her from turning into a monster is the man she left behind.

Kyle Reynolds has spent seven years searching for her. Now that he's found her, he's not letting go—even if it means binding his own nervous system to hers, feeling every wound she can't feel, carrying every ache she can't name.

She doesn't remember how to love him. He doesn't know how to stop.

In a dying world where survival is the only law, two broken people are about to find out if love can outlast the end of everything.

“As much as I appreciate your input and your help tonight,” Amara said, pushing her mind off how good he looked, “I'd prefer you stayed out of it. I don't need to prove anything. Tonight was enough, and your acting was great. Thank you.”

“Oh.” Silas eyebrows rose, and an expression she didn't quite understand passed over his face.

“What?” Amara asked. “What’s with that look?”

“It’s just...I thought you kissed me because of your ex, but maybe that’s not why at all.”

“Excuse me?”

“I thought you used me to get to your ex, but maybe you were actually using your ex to get to me.”
—------
Amara Rhodes has just returned to Oakhaven after being away for two years, and the town is nothing like she remembers…Nothing like the town she left behind.

On the surface, nothing seems to have changed, but beneath it, strange things are happening. People are disappearing in the woods. Dead bodies are turning up in the city. The people Amara once knew and trusted—from her own cousin to the ex who broke her heart—are keeping secrets that defy reality, and the dangerously handsome firefighter who saved her pride the day they met might be the most lethal monster of them all.

Amara wants nothing more than to run from it all, but somehow she finds herself trapped in the middle of a war she didn't know existed, swept into a deadly feud between a pack of werewolves and their enemies who seek to destroy them, and now survival means playing a game where the rules are written in blood.

Getting away doesn't seem like an option anymore. Not when their enemies are closing in… And not when she has fallen in love with the monster she wants to get away from.

What would you do if your biggest chance to become a Guardian ended with you turning a respected ruler into a bearded frog?

For Yasmine, there is only one answer: hope nobody talks about it again.

Unfortunately, the Guardians have other plans.

Instead of throwing her out, they send Yasmine to Bellwick with one simple task: restore an abandoned magical inn called Aradessa and prove she can control her magic.

It sounds easy enough.

Until the inn starts moving her things, pulling at her clothes and finding new ways to annoy her.

Then the guests start arriving.

Strange witches, wandering magical creatures, overly dramatic wizards and other peculiar visitors somehow find their way to Aradessa, turning Yasmine's quiet punishment into one disaster after another.

And then there is Cian.

The strict Guardian assigned to keep an eye on her thinks she is reckless. Yasmine thinks he needs to loosen up. Their constant arguments make working together almost impossible, but the more time they spend at the inn, the harder it becomes to ignore the attraction growing between them.

With a mischievous magical cat, a tiny dragon and secrets hidden deep inside Aradessa, Yasmine begins to wonder why she was really sent there.

Maybe the inn was never meant to be a punishment.

Maybe it was waiting for her.

And if Aradessa's secrets fall into the wrong hands, Yasmine may have to choose between following the Guardians' rules and protecting the strange little world she has come to love.

Especially the infuriating Guardian who somehow became the person she trusts most.

After another failed attempt at love, grief-stricken and orphaned Korina Black decides to move to New York to start afresh after swearing off men for good.

But all that changes when she meets a hot doctor Cole smith and her life get messier when she finds out that she is being stalked by an evil mafia boss who is hell bent on having her all to himself and would trample anyone in his way.

“Daphne…”

My heart skipped a beat as he mentioned my name. But I didn't say anything or turn around. I bit my lower lip, waiting for him to complete his statement… or sweet confession?

“I want you to know that—”

“Lennon, we were looking for you all over the place!”

I turned around to face the familiar female voice that had the nerve to interrupt my private time with Lennon. “Alaine?”

"Hello, Daphne." She smiled at me without appearing surprised but with an expression of disapproval. "Have you heard the whole truth from him yet?"

"What truth?" I asked with a frown.

Alaine looked over at Lennon, who had moved to stand beside her. He even put his arm around her waist.

"Wait a minute, what in the world is going on?" I clenched my teeth, seeing them together.

"Alaine is my mate," Lennon declared, and kissed Alaine on the lips.

As a werewolf, you constantly fantasize about meeting your mate. Until you've experienced it firsthand, you can never really understand it. Everything around me seemed colorful in my eyes as I looked forward to becoming Lennon’s mate sooner. But unfortunately, my whole world fell apart when Lennon had found his mate that night the pack’s Luna celebrated her birthday. It was the same night when I’ve lost everything just in a snap.

*** Daphne Forster, a young she-wolf, swears she will never again be involved with an Alpha after a traumatic event from her previous pack. That's why she tries to escape when she finds out that the one who saves her from danger—not to mention, gives her shelter—is actually an Alpha. But the mystic and vengeful Alpha Calle will not let her go considering the complicated plans he has for her.

Kane Cross died at his desk at 2:47 AM.

He woke up in hell.

No class. No skills. No tutorial. Just ash, a dead world, and a System notification blinking in his vision like a bad joke.

DESIGNATION: NULL
RECOMMENDATION: IMMEDIATE TERMINATION

In Aethon, your class is your worth. Your rank is your right to breathe. And a Null is not a person. A Null is a problem to be erased.

They sent hunters. Then a purge timer. Then something worse.

But Kane spent seven years building game systems for a living. He knows how engines work. He knows every system has a logic. Every rule has an edge. Every god has a backdoor.

He has no class. No rank. No name in their registry.

Good.

They can't kill what they can't see.

And Kane Cross is just getting started.

The System has run this world for a thousand years.

It has never met anyone like him.

I fell asleep reading my favorite werewolf novel. I woke up inside it, as Aria Quinn, the Luna chosen for the heroic Alpha Rowan Hale.
The mission was simple: follow the plot, stay by the hero’s side, and survive until the end.But the villain had other plans.Alpha Lucian Drevane wasn’t supposed to touch me, let alone claim me. Yet his mark burns on my neck, his silver eyes follow me everywhere, and the fate written for me is collapsing. The story says I belong to the hero, but my body says the villain already owns me.

The man cast the woman out and the woman cast their baby out.They grabbed her by the hair and dragged her into a dark room that reeks of urine and cigarettes.

Undeniably, the pains were suffocating. When she stared at his dark eyes, the only thing she saw was darkness.

“Let go, let go of me, you bastard!” She shouted out. That only made his mighty five fingers appear on her face. Which sent her head spinning on her neck.

He made her kiss the earth. And slowly breathed in her face.

“Your life ends here....” his voice was deep baritone and cruel and that was when she felt the shivers down her spine.

How did the nerdy Elina find her way into the merciless billionaire’s court?

"I said... come closer, don't keep me waiting."
When I reached the location where I saw a man in silhouette, correctly he was looking like a beast, with long claws, and furs around his skin. It was the raging Beast that people have talked about for years now, I took a deep breath, as my body trembled in fear.
I attempted to run, but my feet felt so weak to even think of doing that, that's when I felt my hand being roughly pulled, and I was able to see his face, even more, his golden hue eyes were looking right at me.

Roseline was brought up from a small town, she was molested in the pack because, her mother died while giving birth to her.
For that she was given to the alpha beast, people expected her dead, but not knowing she would receive protection from the alpha beast himself.

Edde Loxley, a handsome young business man meets a crazy fan girl Elizabeth Albie in a bar as they both got drunk and went to bed together.
After realizing she lost her virginity to him and got pregnant for him, she comes back to him with a threat of exposing the pregnancy to the world.
Edde Loxley strikes a deal with her shutting her mouth up with a huge sum of money.
What could the deal be about?
Will she accept the deal?

Erina's family sells her to a pack of wolves, she knows she's there for their pleasure to be used and then killed, at least that's their intention. But what they don't know is that Erina isn't willing to accept that fate. She's determined to do whatever is needed to stay alive. The pack thinks they can just use her and throw her away, but when she's done with them they won't be able to survive without just another moment with her. Because Erina doesn't want to be their broken doll, she just needs to be their perfect one. Unfortunately for her, the pack isn't going to make life that easy for her. She's underestimated just what they could want from her and she's about to be pushed to her very limits and beyond for her mistake. Her bid for survival is about to begin.

Mia always knew she was as ordinary as a girl could be living a life of bliss along with her mother until the day she died. On her deathbed her mother let her know that she was the illegitimate daughter of the ruling Wolf Clan king of the East. But that was not the end of it all.The curse that was chasing her was because of the baby she was carrying in her womb from her husband about whom she knew very little, except the fact that he worked at the Wolf embassy in the mortal world. Something was not right. The curse could only be evoked if there were any illegal 'blood-ties' formed between the Wolf Clan of the East and Fox Clan of the West. Scared, alone, afraid and running from inevitable doom, the only logical conclusion her mind could come to was that, her wolf was in fact a fox in wolf's hide.

If you'd asked Kenzie Anderson who she'd least want to spend her senior year with, Jace Ryder would have been the easiest answer.

He came back from military school taller, colder, and carrying the kind of reputation that makes people step out of his way. She has enough on her plate already, trying to keep her life together and protect the people who matter most. The last thing she needs is a fake relationship with the boy who seems determined to drive her crazy.

But somewhere between pretending to be in love and learning who Jace really is, Kenzie realizes there's more to him than the arrogant football captain everyone sees. And Jace begins to see the girl behind the bright smile—the one who's been carrying far more than anyone knows.

Falling for each other was never part of the deal. But when old secrets and painful mistakes come back to haunt them, they'll have to decide if what they've found is strong enough to survive the truth.

Being mated to an Alpha who only has eyes for my sister? That’s a pain I can live with. But being offered up as a pawn to a ruthless Alpha King one who takes ten wives every year and shows no mercy? That’s a whole new level of hell.

In a pack where everyone wears a mask and enemies lurk behind every corner, survival is a game I never planned to play. But they’ve made a dangerous mistake: they think I’m weak. They think I’ll fold.

I won’t just survive this. I’ll break their rules, shatter their expectations, and carve my own destiny, one that no Alpha, no King, and no twisted pact can control.

"She took everything from me," I whispered.
Benjamin nodded once. "But she doesn't know you're alive."
" I want revenge," I said, my voice cold. "She doesn't get to win. Not after this."
"I figured you would," Benjamin said.
"Why did you help me?" I asked him. "Why are you helping me?
"Just know that I'm your secret admirer."He said.


On the day of my wedding, I was stabbed, left to die... and forgotten. While I bled in my wedding dress, my fiancé married my sister.
And my adoptive family, the people who I thought loved me, never even looked for me. They all moved on, like I never existed. I thought my world had ended.
But I refused to stay a victim. Benjamin Grey, CEO of Grey Global found me, saved me, and helped me rise again.
When I thought I would get my revenge, I found out that my biological mother who had been missing for fifteen years was alive, and held captive by my adoptive parents.
The more I try to find peace, the more trouble comes in. And I wished I had died that day. Maybe death would've been easier than living with everything I now know. Maybe I won't have to face all these traumas.
But life had other plans.

Camilla Stewart never thought that it would be a disastrous one-night stand for her. Her virginity was forcibly snatched away by Tristan Drayson, a heartbroken billionaire CEO who was betrayed by his fiance, the Japanese model Ayana.

"Mr. Tristan! I beg of you, I-I need the money right now. You tell me anything this time I won't refuse, as long as you give me the money you promised."
"Really? You're not going back on your word again?" Tristan challenges Camilla. Camilla lowered her head and nodded slowly, with the burden of shame already mounting.
"Then serve me one more time tonight. If you can satisfy me tonight, I'll pay you double the amount I promised."
How will Camilla handle her accidental pregnancy after signing the contract with Tristan? The presence of billionaire heir William is saving her but Tristan’s show-up make their triangle love more complicated than expected.
