Introduction
Chapter 1
In Scarlett's perspective:
I hurried through the crowd at the Galaxy Institute of Technology prom.
Wherever I went, people made way for me.
The students around me looked curious, whispering among themselves:
"Is she Scarlett Reynolds? The girl whose nude photos were posted on our school's public chat board."
"I heard she pursued Alexander Cole shamelessly, the youngest son of the Mafia family, and ended up getting revenge."
"Alexander had a girlfriend. Why would he be interested in her?"
These comments cut into my heart like knives, making my broken heart ache even more.
What happened in the past few days felt like a nightmare.
Alexander spread the nude photos I had privately sent him, and I became the despised slut in their eyes. Everyone said I was trying to seduce Alexander.
But that wasn't the truth.
Alexander was my husband. We've been married for two years.
We used to get along well.
Even though Alexander was the youngest son of the Mafia family, he was completely different from his family. He was so gentle and considerate. He never used his privileges while pursuing me. He treated me as an equal.
We spent countless wonderful times together, and I had unwavering faith in his love for me.
So when we turned eighteen, and Alexander proposed to me. I agreed without hesitation.
We quickly completed the paperwork.
On our way home, while we were considering how to celebrate our marriage, a truck loaded with dirt came straight at us!
I pushed Alexander away without a second thought.
The truck hit me directly, and I fell into a coma with the intense pain.
When I opened my eyes again, it was two years later.
I learned that what happened that day wasn't an accident but an assassination attempt on Alexander.
Even worse, Alexander lost all memories of us during my coma.
He now had a new girlfriend.
I was no longer his lover but an obstacle who wanted to be his wife.
Despite repeatedly recounting our past to Alexander, all I received were his contempt and insults.
To get rid of me, Alexander even posted the nudes I took two years ago on the school's forum.
He had changed into a complete jerk!
Even now, after all the cruel things Alexander did to me, he was still chatting casually with his friends at the graduation party. I could hear Alexander's voice from a distance.
"Guys! I've got some great news," Alexander said with a smile, "I'm getting engaged!"
"It's awesome!" His buddy exclaimed, "Will your wife, Scarlett, agree to the divorce?"
Alexander nonchalantly said, "Scarlett? She's nobody to me."
I couldn't hold back anymore and pushed the door open forcefully.
Everyone looked over, and Alexander's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, which was quickly replaced by impatience.
"What are you doing here again? Haven't you completely disillusioned with me?" Alexander sneered, "Even if you are naked in front of me now, I wouldn't be interested. After all, your body has been seen by thousands of people at school."
Alexander and his friends burst into disgusting laughter.
I felt a chill run through my body.
I used to think Alexander just had amnesia, and once he remembered our past, our love would come back.
But now, I realized I was wrong.
He had changed completely. I would never forget the pain he caused me. I could never forgive him!
"Stop your wishful thinking." I angrily threw the papers I was holding into Alexander's arms.
The crowd laughed even louder.
Alexander's sidekick shouted, "Scarlett, you're so cheap! Alexander hates you, and you wrote him love letter?"
"If you insist, I'll have to reject you in person!" Alexander said with a smug look.
He opened the papers and read the first line aloud, "Divorce agreement."
The room fell silent for a few seconds.
Alexander gritted his teeth, scanning the papers in disbelief. Realizing that it was a divorce agreement, he angrily said, "Scarlett, what kind of trick is this? Do you think claim that you don't want a penny from me in the agreement will earn my sympathy and make me fall in love with you? Dream on!"
His tone was so arrogant and curt.
"I want money, of course." I stared into his eyes, enunciating each word.
I pulled something out of my bag and slapped it onto the divorce agreement.
"Don't be so smug, Alexander. This is a court summons." I pushed the papers towards him and said, "You will face legal consequences for spreading my nude pictures."
As a law student, I would defend my rights this way.
Alexander looked even more surprise. He sneered, raising his voice, "Scarlett, have you been in a coma so long that your brain is broken? Do you think you can take the Mafia family to court?"
He mockingly patted my cheek and said, "I'’d like to see which judge dares to handle the Mafia family's matters."
My chest heaved violently.
I refused to show weakness in front of him. "We'll see."
I believed that justice would prevail and that a scumbag like Alexander would get what he deserved.
I turned to leave but ended up bumping into a girl.
"Sorry."
I instinctively wanted to apologize, but when I looked up, we both froze.
I recognized her.
She was Isabella Bennett, Alexander's current girlfriend.
I didn't know how to face her, but she gave me a bright smile.
"You must be Scarlett. I've been wanting to meet you." Isabella took my hand and said warmly, "I never imagined that Alexander would fall so deeply in love with me after him lost his memory. This isn't what I wanted. It's great that you're back. I just want to give Alexander back to you."
Isabella sounded incredibly sincere.
Before I could respond, I felt a gust of wind behind me.
"Isabella, I won't allow you to say that! The only person I love is you! No one can replace you!" Alexander rushed over and pushed me away, holding Isabella tightly in his arms.
As a result of Alexander's shove, I fell heavily to the ground, hitting my forehead on a nearby table. A sharp pain surged through me instantly.
Bright red blood trickled down from the wound on my forehead.
The strong impact made my mind fuzzy.
And the culprit behind all of this, Alexander, not only showed no concern for me, but also eagerly dragged Isabella away.
Amid the chaos, I saw Isabella turn to look at me.
Her face no longer bore the weak and pitiful expression from before. Instead, she provocatively smirked at me.

Until tonight.

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.

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.
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.

Mission: Steal the Male Lead
But the more Morwenna changes the story, the stranger the world becomes.

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.
