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.

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.
The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.

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.

Until tonight.

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.

The rejected white luna
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.
Behind her elegant smile lies a woman filled with secrets powerful enough to shake the whole family. She's a miraculous healer capable of curing the incurable poisons.
Yet despite everything, her family still chooses Talia.
Every accusation against Talia is forgiven. Every scheme against Camille is brushed aside. Even Matteo, the man who was supposed to be Camille’s fiancé—cannot let go of the woman he always believed belonged by his side.
But while the Laurent family underestimates Camille, another man begins to see exactly who she is.
Dante Moretti.
The ruthless heir of an old-money dynasty. A billionaire CEO worshipped by the public…and the merciless king of a criminal empire hidden beneath the city’s glittering surface. When Dante is poisoned by a rival syndicate with a deadly toxin no doctor can cure, he offers a fortune for anyone who can save him.
Only Camille can. Their deal is simple: she becomes his personal physician, and he gives her anything she wants.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.
MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.
