Introduction
And he, just to make his first love smile, kicked me into the pool with one swift kick...
Chapter 1
For love, I gave up my identity as a wealthy heiress and ran away with my poor boyfriend. I spent three tough years by his side.
On Christmas Eve, snow was falling from the sky. To help my boyfriend, Matthew Moore, raise money to start his business, I stood on the street, handing out flyers dressed as Santa Claus.
Matthew walked by with his first love, Emily Johnson. He pointed at me shivering in the cold night and said, "Look at that idiot in the Santa costume, shaking from the cold but still handing out flyers. How ridiculous!"
Emily laughed, "She looks so silly, standing by the wishing fountain, handing out flyers. Isn't she afraid of falling in?"
Matthew didn't know that the "Santa" he was mocking was actually me. To make Emily laugh, he walked up to me and kicked me into the freezing wishing fountain.
I struggled and called for help, but all I heard was his laughter from the shore.
Emily asked, "Matthew, she won't drown, will she?"
Matthew didn't care at all. "She won't drown. Forget about her. Tonight's Christmas dinner is what matters. I got that diamond necklace you liked."
Matthew had never given me a gift, but now he was using the money I worked so hard for to buy another woman a diamond necklace...
At that moment, my heart felt like it had been split in half by an axe.
Matthew walked away with Emily, laughing and chatting.
I climbed out of the wishing fountain in a mess, soaking wet all over.
I watched them leave, my heart breaking.
Matthew and I were college classmates who fell in love, but my father wouldn't let us be together. For love, I had a huge fight with my father and left home.
I told Matthew I grew up in an orphanage with no parents, that he was all I had.
He was so moved. He held me and promised he would start a business, make lots of money, and give me a good life...
Only now did I realize how stupid I was to believe Matthew's lies!
I finally decided to call my father.
"Dad, I regret running away with Matthew. I want to break up with him and come back to take over the company!"
My father's excited voice came through the phone. "Mia, you've finally come to your senses. I'll send someone to pick you up right now!"
Right after I hung up with my father, Matthew called. He angrily questioned me, "Mia Wilson, where did you run off to?"
His voice was full of impatience.
"Do you know how long Emily has been waiting for you at the restaurant? She's starving!"
I was so angry I laughed and shot back, "What does her being hungry have to do with me?"
"What's with that attitude! I'm warning you, stop throwing a tantrum!"
"Get over here right now and pay our bill. I'm at Lunar Dining." He ordered me as if it were the most natural thing.
"Why should I come?"
"Why? Because you're my girlfriend! Supporting my career and taking care of me - isn't that what you're supposed to do?" He said it so naturally, as if it were completely obvious.
"If you dare not come today, I'll break up with you!"
Matthew was threatening to break up with me again.
I stood there as the cold wind dried my tears and blew away the last bit of warmth in my heart.
'Fine, I'll go!'
I wanted to see just how shameless he could be.
Lunar Dining was one of the most expensive restaurants in the city, with an average cost of over a thousand dollars per person.
I walked into the fancy hall wearing my wet sweater and jeans.
Matthew and Emily were sitting together, candlelight flickering, the atmosphere perfect.
Emily wore a delicate diamond necklace around her neck - the exact one I'd seen in a magazine a few days ago.
When Matthew saw me soaking wet and looking like a mess, he immediately frowned with disgust on his face.
Emily covered her nose and said with disgust, "Matthew, she smells so bad. It's so dirty."
Matthew immediately comforted her. "Babe, don't be upset. I'll make her leave right away."
He turned to me and ordered, "Hurry up and pay the bill, then get out of here!"
"Matthew, you're really shameless. You made me look like this, and now you want me to pay your bill!" I looked at him coldly.

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.
Exchanging Vows: The Swapped Wife Is a Top Shaman
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.

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.

A betrayal.

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.
