Fake Dating My Nemesis

Introduction
He pulled back slightly, staring down at me with those gray eyes that had captivated me from the beginning. He bit his lower lip as he waited for my response.
I gulped, staring at him, unable to put my words together.
As if that kiss wasn't enough to punish me, his thumb grazed my lips, running slowly along my lower lip as he gently parted them.
A shiver ran down my spine. My eyelids fluttered, my eyes almost drifting shut.
"Tell me what this is about," he whispered. "And I'll decide if I need to go on or not."
After a scandal involving me forces me into a fake relationship, I never expect Zayne Hayes to become anything more than temporary. He was supposed to be an escape from my perfect little life. But somewhere between heated arguments, stolen touches, late-night confessions, and kisses we were never supposed to share, he became the one person I couldn't stay away from.
Then there's Rowan Ashford. Rich, reckless, and dangerous. And the one boy I swore I'd never want. He knows exactly how to get under my skin, and somehow, every moment spent too close to him feels like a temptation I know I shouldn't give in to.
As secrets resurface and feelings become impossible to ignore, I'm trapped between two rivals—one who owns my heart and the other who keeps tempting me to give it away.
Chapter 1
Valeria's POV
Growth is a constant. That's what my mom always says. And I couldn't agree more.
We'd just started a new year. A year I'd always looked forward to. The year of college applications, leadership positions, prom, and graduation.
Senior year.
And tonight, I was right in the middle of our Senior Welcome Party.
I looked ahead, flicked my hair over my shoulder and smiled to myself. And as usual, eyes were on me.
It was impossible for Valeria Whitmore to walk into a room without drawing attention—admiring or hateful.
Tessa dragged me to the center of the room and nudged me with her elbow. “Come on!”
I chuckled and followed the rhythm of the music, dancing with my best friend beside me.
“What's the latest gossip?” I asked over the loud thumping bass. “Hope the school didn't burn down in my absence yesterday.”
“The day was boring without you, but…” Tessa said dramatically, then grinned. “I do have a little rumor.”
“Oh.” I waved casually at a boy I didn't know who had been staring at me since I walked in.
“You know the new boy? The one who sits at the back of the class?”
I nodded. I'd only seen him twice since school resumed. Always sitting at the back. Hood up. Face hidden. Brooding like he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.
“He’s on scholarship.”
“Oh,” I replied, no humor in my tone while my eyes darted around in search of two people.
“Yeah. Another crazy rumor…” she continued excitedly. “Some girls said they caught a glimpse of his face yesterday.”
“And?”
“They said he's gorgeous.”
Goodness. This wasn't the gossip I was interested in tonight.
“Not as gorgeous as my Mason,” I said proudly, my gaze still wandering. No one could ever be compared to my perfect boyfriend.
“I’d love to see the boy who would challenge Mason one day.” She chuckled, then winked. “Maybe Broody.”
I groaned. “Are we really talking about a scholarship boy right now?”
“I’m just keeping you informed,” she replied, then grabbed a glass of drink from a passing tray and chugged it down in one go.
“Okay. That's enough gossip.”
I left her there and moved forward, looking through the sea of faces. None of them were my boyfriend and my second best friend.
Tessa appeared beside me again, handing me a drink. “Here.”
“Not now, Tes.”
“Okay.” She shrugged and gulped it down immediately.
I shook my head. By the end of the night, I'd probably be the one driving her home.
“Where's Scarlett? And Mason? We've literally walked around this entire place, and I can't see any of them.”
“I don't know about Scarlett. We've not talked since our fallout. But I did see Mason drive in earlier.”
“Then…” I opened my purse to pull out my phone.
Just then, the loud thumping in the room became quiet. The volume dropped.
Hushed voices spread across the room.
I frowned slightly, glancing around. Tyler's parties were never quiet unless something big was about to happen.
“What's going on?” I murmured.
Tessa shrugged beside me, equally confused.
Then, a soft whirring sound came from above.
My eyes lifted instinctively toward the large projector screen mounted on the wall—the one Tyler usually used for music visuals during his parties.
The blank white screen flickered.
I looked away, uninterested. Probably another one of Tyler's boring visuals.
Something started playing, but I didn't pay much attention. I was still scanning the room, still looking for Mason.
But when gasps erupted among the crowd, and a boy let out a low whistle… I knew something was wrong.
“Oh no,” Tessa muttered beside me, her eyes fixed on the screen.
And I finally looked up.
A girl was displayed on the screen. She was sitting on a bed, hair loose over her shoulders, a soft laugh escaping her lips as she leaned toward the camera.
My heart began pounding in my chest.
That girl was me.
“Is that Valeria?”
“No way.”
People whispered among themselves.
“Mason,” the girl on the screen giggled. “I can't do without you.”
“Say it again,” Mason's voice boomed in the background. He wasn't in the video.
“I don't think I can live without you. I love you so so very much.” She leaned closer to the person recording. “Why are you recording me? Stop… stop it,” my voice slurred.
Laughter rippled through the crowd.
“Oh, she's so drunk,” someone said loudly.
More laughter erupted in the room.
No. No.
I was tipsy that night. I had begged, pleaded with Mason to stop recording and delete the video. I thought he did.
No one had ever seen me drunk until now. No one. Not even my best friends.
I was the composed, confident, most popular girl that everyone envied.
People began glancing at me and back at the projector screen. My fingers tightened around the strap of my purse as I fought to stay composed.
For a single second, the screen went black. I shut my eyes, praying desperately that it was over.
I was just drunk. People get drunk all the time. It's not a big deal.
I tried to convince myself.
Another video started. I heard gasps, shouts, boys cursing loudly.
Tessa held my hand. “Let’s get out of here.”
And then I looked up.
On the screen, I stood in a soft lace lingerie set, turning slightly as if showing it off.
“I bought it for you,” my voice said from the video, shy and teasing.
Someone in the crowd barked out a laugh. “Damn, Valeria!”
“Always acting perfect, but she’s a real baddie.”
“She’s two-faced,” a girl hissed.
My palm instinctively clamped over my mouth.
The video wasn't explicit. But it was private. Private enough for me to send to only one person.
Mason.
I had always been in control of my life. But this… this was humiliating.
Then, screenshots appeared. Screenshots of our conversations. Texts that made me look clingy and needy. Everything I had believed love was supposed to be.
My vision blurred. I couldn't feel my hands anymore. I couldn't feel anything, except the weight of hundreds of eyes now turning toward me.
All judging and laughing.
I swallowed hard as I finally forced myself to look away from the screen. And that's when I saw them.
Mason and Scarlett.
They were standing near the staircase, Mason's arm wrapped around her waist. Scarlett's lips curved into a satisfied smile. And Mason? He didn't look shocked.
I fixed the puzzle.
They did this to me.
My boyfriend and my best friend.
I turned back toward the screen. Just then, Tyler, the host grabbed the microphone, grinning like this was the greatest entertainment of the night.
“Well,” he laughed. “Looks like we've got our first senior welcome party highlight.”
Laughter exploded across the room.
I cast another look at Mason and Scarlett, my chest tightening painfully.
If I confronted them now, it would only create more drama—exactly what they wanted. And that was the last thing I needed.
In all of the cruel amusement, one thing became clear… my senior year had shattered before it had even begun.

The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife
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.
Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.

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.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
The Sentinel's Conduit
In a world already on its knees, vampires in the streets, daylight a memory, the human race running out of places to hide. You would think a man of God would know better than to make a deal with the devil. Or, in our case, the Vampire Lord.
He didn't.
And I paid for it.
The part I can't quite make peace with is what came after. Because dying wasn't the end of it. Someone pulled me back, one of the five men they call Sentinels, blessed with something older than the war itself. and now I'm supposed to be grateful. They tell me I've been given a second chance. What they don't tell me is that the second chance comes with a war, a calling I didn't ask for, and five men I'm not sure I'm ready to trust.
Especially him. The one in charge. The one they call Elion.
He is not what I expected. Nothing about this is.
I have exactly two questions and no good answers: am I supposed to feel this way about a man whose job is to protect me? And if he's as dangerous as everything in me already knows he is. Would I be safer keeping him at arm's length?
I'm starting to think that was never really an option.
Werewolf's Heartsong
I looked strong, and my wolf was absolutely gorgeous.
I looked to where my sister is sitting and her and the rest of her posse have jealous fury on their faces. I then look up to where my parents are and they're glaring at my picture, if looks alone could set shit on fire.
I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start -- To fight, to prove, and not hide myself anymore.
This was going to be fun. I thought, a grin on my face.
