Chapter 1
Layla
As soon as I walked through my apartment door the messages started coming in. I dropped my handbag on the table and checked my phone. I was added to a group chat. Oh god, how Did they get my number?.I kept staring at my phone, while people were added.
These were all the people I went to college with,my college friends. I kept looking at the group chat patiently waiting for the two people to be added. I saw when she added him ,his picture popped up, then the other picture popped up. I needed to leave this group chat. As I opened the screen to type I saw it.
“Dean has left the chat”
My anxious heart felt a bit less anxious.
GROUP CHAT
LAYLA : Mallory , what is going on and How did you get my number?.
MALLORY : Oh come on Layla, don't you dare leave.Do you know how hard it was for me to track down everyone?.
MACY : Seriously?, I'm in the middle of a nail appointment
NELLA : My my my the troublemakers are together
REA : What now , I'm busy. This better be good.
ANDREW: Hello hello,my people it's been too long
CHRIS : God Damn, these girls are looking better than ever.
“ Dean was added “.
CHRIS : My man ,Dean, what's up?. Where's Aleck?.
ALECK: Right here
CHRIS: Hey Layla be a sport and drop a pic .
LAYLA : Not in the mood to deal with you Chris ,Mallory, What is this about?.
MALLORY : Well, we're having a get-together in a month. It's a two week vacation. So I need everyone's attention and opinion?
LAYLA : I'm not interested, Mallory .
CHRIS : Ah come on Layla be a sport. You disappeared and ditched all of us after graduation. Hey Dean,Aleck , talk to your bestie,get her to come.
“ Layla has left the chat “.
I turned my phone off and threw it onto the sofa. God there's a reason I stayed away from them. Well the reason was Dean and Aleck. Who were no other than twin brothers and who used to be my best friends ever since Kindergarten.
I pushed them out of my mind and went about my business. After I Did some cleaning, I went to the gym. When I got back to my apartment it was eight in the evening. I made a simple pasta dinner and ate it. While relaxing I turned my phone on and the message started coming in again. Before I could check it ,my phone began ringing. It wasn't a number I knew.
I answered but the person on the other end didn't say anything.
“ Hello ?”. No answer
“ Hello?”. No answer. I ended the call and opened my messages.
GROUP CHAT
”Layla was added “
I groaned out loud.it seems like there was no avoiding this. I opened the chat and began reading.
MALLORY : Everytime you leave someone will just add you back. EVERYONE HAS TO COME.
CHRIS : I'm in , wherever and whenever
ANDREW : Me too
REA : Same here
MACY : Okay Fine,if you're all so desperate to see me , I'll come.
CHRIS : That's the spirit,Macy
NELLA : Okay fine.
MACY : Dean, what about you?.
DEAN : I'll let you know soon
CHRIS : Come on man. Aleck , you in ?.
ALECK : I'm not sure either.
MACY : Guys come on. We understand that you're important business men now, but you still need to have a little fun and relax. We're the best to have fun with.
REA : What about Layla?.
MACY : It's her choice
MALLORY: Macy , I can do without the bitching. Layla will come.
ALECK : I doubt that, but you guys can have fun. Sorry Mal
MALLORY : God you're all just hopeless.
DEAN : Mallory I'm not sure if I can make it. Besides, I have back to back meetings. I can't just leave on the spur of a moment for a week.
ALECK : He's right. We both can't just leave for a week. We have a company to run. Maybe next time.
CHRIS : Damnit, Mallory if they don't show up then it's really gonna suck.
MALLORY : Don't worry we'll have fun.
They weren't going. I wouldn't see them. I couldn't handle being around both of them. I wasn't a teenager anymore, I was twenty five years old, I was an adult and I could handle this. I made sure to keep it hidden and I'll continue to hide it. Besides, I need some time away from here after the shit Josh pulled.
GROUP CHAT
LAYLA : send me the time,date and location. I'm in.
CHRIS : Holy shit. She's coming, I can't wait to see how much you've changed in the last five years.
LAYLA : I'm still the same.
MACY : Well That sucks for you
LAYLA : At least I'm still me. Good night.
I put my phone on silent and went to bed. I laid in bed thinking about them.Dean and Aleck Cavanaugh. They were twins, not identical. They were both twenty six years old now. The first time I met them was in kindergarten. I remember crying and both of them comforted me telling me it's okay.
Ever since that day we became joined at the hips. My mom was worried because they were from the other side of the community,the filthy rich, also about their parents' approval ,but she had nothing to worry about. That was never an issue, we were so close,we shared everything with each other. We had sleepovers.
My mom was never scared to leave me alone with them because she knew they would never hurt me. It all changed when I turned eighteen. We were in college when it all happened and it happened so fast that I had to put distance between me and them.
They tried reaching out but I didn't reply. I know they want an answer as to why I cut them off,but it's not an answer anyone should hear. I stopped thinking because my mind was going places it shouldn't.
Three weeks later Mallory messaged us the time and date. I checked in with work for time off and got it. I was standing in my bedroom unsure what to pack for. Mallory didn't say where we were going. I stood looking at myself in the mirror. The last time everyone saw me was graduation day. Back then I was Pettie, my skin had always been flawless and clear. But over the years I've changed.It's been at least three years since any of them have seen me.
My normal blonde hair was now red. My breasts were bigger and my ass was nothing to sneeze at. I don't know what happened but suddenly I was no longer the Pettie girl I was . I had curves in all the right places and can turn heads. I grabbed my phone.Over the years I decided to get a few tattoos. I had one on the top of my stomach, a few smaller ones on my arms and there were two on my neck below each ear. Those two were never seen mostly because my hair hid them. All.in all I was no longer the girl they remembered.
GROUP CHAT
LAYLA : Mallory , What are we packing for?.
NELLA : Yea about that ,bitch you didn't say where.
MACY : Whatever it is , I'm packed for everything
Mallory : Sun ,sand and the beach.
LAYLA : Sure
MACY : You lucky ducks are going to see me in my bikini.
CHRIS : Well I look forward to it.
I exited the group chat and started packing my suitcase. There was no mention of Dean and Aleck in the group chat and I was happy about that, Maybe. Just maybe they weren't going to show up.
The following morning I left at nine for the location Mallory sent. When I pulled up ,it was at an airfield. I parked the car and sat there mentally preparing myself. I could see a few of them standing in the hanger with their suitcase. I guess this was it. I got out and grabbed my suitcase. I locked the car and made my way over to them.
“Holy fuck. Layla?.”
“Yes Chris”. I said smiling. Mallory ran over to me, hugging me. ” Oh my god . You look amazing “.
“You're looking pretty hot yourself ” ,I said smiling. “Hello Macy “.
“Hey.“ She said uninterestly.
”God damn Layla, you're hot and I mean smoking hot. What the hell happened to you?, you have tattoos?”. Chris said, smirking.
“Shut up . Where are we going Mallory ?”. I asked in all seriousness.
“Well a friend of Mine has a private island and he's letting me use it for two weeks if I do his taxes for him,also he's letting me use his private Jet”. She replied smiling.
”Okay “.

The Spy Who Left
"I still can't believe she actually did it. Aria Hart, filing for divorce. Who saw that coming?"
"How long do we think it'll take before she comes crawling back?" Another voice joins the conversation.
"Three days," Victoria declares. "Five at most. She has no money, no skills, no family. Where's she going to go?"
When Aria Chen divorced billionaire Leon Hart, New York's elite sneered, betting she'd crawl back within days. She never did.
Three years later, the world is rocked when Dr. Aria Vale, CEO of a revolutionary cybersecurity empire, steps into the spotlight. The mysterious genius who built a billion-dollar company from nothing is none other than Leon's discarded wife, the woman everyone thought was just a pretty ornament.
Now, every powerful man wants the queen Leon threw away a renowned scientist seeking partnership, a financial titan proposing an empire, and an actor offering devotion. Each sees the brilliance Leon ignored.
Then Leon discovers the truth: Aria's sacrifices, her secret double life, and the daughter she's been raising without him. For the first time, the man who once took her for granted must fight for her love. But can he compete with men who valued her from the beginning?
A story of love, betrayal, and power where the king must kneel before the queen who never needed saving.
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.
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.

After all that’s what I do.

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.

Yet despite everything, her family still chooses Talia.

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.

Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?

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.

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?
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.
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.
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.
