Introduction
His dark pink lips, which used to kiss every part of me, twitched. “That is the plan. Why?”
“Rosaline has a boyfriend,” I said.
“What the hell are you doing?!” Rosaline cried.
“My sister cannot marry you.” I ignored the angry reactions from my father and sister.
“So?” Nathaniel questioned. He seemed curious about where that moment was headed.
“Nathaniel Storm…” Suddenly, my hands felt sweaty. I clasped them to hide that sign of my nervousness. “Marry me.” His dark eyes, the colour of the stormy sea, narrowed as he considered my words. “Instead of Rosaline, marry me.”
Chapter 1
SARAH PIERCE
“Lego house, mummy.” Raya pointed at the red brick building, and my soul shuddered while the sky rumbled in response. “See! Lego house.”
“I see it, baby,” I whispered, wishing it was also possible for me to view the house as an innocent replica of my daughter’s favourite toy.
But that can never happen. This house was hell for me while growing up.
However, I have come back to this hell because I want to protect my daughter from the terrible life I have exposed her to. Despite my struggles in the past years, I have been unable to provide a good life for her. Finding a way out of that terrible life was a much-needed solution.
I did weigh my options before choosing to come back here, but no matter how I tried to evade it, approaching the family I ran away from was the best option I had.
And now, I am about to find out if my foolish choice will turn out to be a good decision or not.
“Raya.” My tightened lips loosened. I faked a grand smile and bent my knees before my three-year-old, whose eyes always reminded me of myself. “Can you be a good girl for Mummy?”
Raya's curly hair fell to the side. Her eyes widened with understanding, and she asked, “Mummy busy?”
I nodded and spread my fingers. “Five minutes. Can you give me that?”
“Yes.”
Her quick response saddened me because it reflected how much she had gotten used to being lonely among strangers while I had to step out to work for hours. My little angel should never have to be so understanding. One of these days, if she throws a tantrum, I won't get mad at her. I tell you, my heart will swell with joy when that day comes because it will be the first time I hear my baby complain.
After planting a long kiss on her forehead, I adored her little smile and said, “Thank you, my beautiful baby.”
Seconds later, I pushed the front door open. I dropped our little luggage on the cold floor, and with a firm hold of Raya's hand, we walked down the corridor, which soon ended to reveal the living room.
And there he was.
Nolan Pierce, my father.
He was seated in his usual spot, his eyes sparkling with joy, his words filled with contentment. As I headed into the room, my soul wondered why he never showed such emotions towards me. Why was hatred the only thing he offered me?
Ahh…
I need to stop doing this to myself. I need to stop allowing the past to torture me.
While calming the storm in my soul, my racing heart stopped me from taking a step further. So, from where I stood, I loudly called, “Father.”
He looked away from the person he was speaking to, and I caught the grimness that filled his eyes. Without moving, he lashed me with his gaze, did the same to Raya and bitterly asked, “You are alive? I thought you died.”
My heartache worsened, but I twitched my eyes to ensure he did not get to see that his words still had a terrible effect on me. “Father.”
He looked away. “You are dead to me. Leave.”
“I am here to stay.” I will not back down. I don't care if he says worse. I will not back down till I find a way to make my daughter's life blissful. “I am moving back in.”
“Listen to yourself,” his embittered words continued, and our eyes met again. This time, his hatred was boldly stamped on his face. Anyone passing by would be able to tell that this father strongly despised his daughter. “What makes you think you have the right to move into my house? You ran away without a word and clearly…” The disgust in his eyes reached Raya, I had to pull her behind me so she does not get exposed to his vileness. “... you have been whoring around. Why would I take you in?”
“Father.” With Raya firmly pressed against my legs, a shallow breath left me, and I advanced my steps into the room. “I want to-”
“Mr. Pierce, this is not proper,” the other voice in the room said, and oddly, the impatience in this person's voice was very familiar. “I have a meeting by 4.”
So familiar that I whipped my head to see who it was.
Oh…
Shit…
I shouldn't have turned.
Or? Am I dreaming?
Wait… Of course not. There is no way I am dreaming. Even with his slicked-back hair, it is evident that he is who I think he is.
But then… How is Nathaniel Storm here? What is my ex doing in my father's house?
Cold sweat built on my forehead, and my bulged eyes failed to fathom his appearance no matter how much I stared. Also, my mind could not understand why Nathaniel wasn't bothered by my presence. There was no flinch in his body, no soul in his piercing eyes and no desire to look at me, the woman he once claimed to love. The only expression he gave was a brief press of his lips while he appeared to wonder if he knew me.
“Mr. Storm,” my father's chilly voice dragged me out of the deadly sea of emotions I was heading into, “please, let us continue from where we stopped.”
Nathaniel’s simple outfit rustled the leather couch as he sat back and asked, “Is she someone you know?”
His question worsened the bleeding in my heart, and the gasp that left me almost took all of my breath. If Raya’s touch wasn't with me, I would have succumbed to the terrible storm inside me.
“Nathaniel…” I whispered, but I wasn't loud enough. However, the shock in my eyes was something Nathaniel could see. So, when he looked at me, I made sure to convert that expression to anger. With that glare, I dared him to lie that he didn't know me.
But he remained calm. He remained at peace and unbothered.
“Mr. Storm, she is just someone. Do not mind her,” my father answered. Then he cleared his throat and faced me. “Sarah.” I blinked and looked away from my ex. “Do as you wish. But do not ruin this special meeting. Mr. Storm is your sister's husband-to-be. Don't -”
“Husband-to-be?” I frowned. “Wh-what is that supposed to mean?” My gaze fell on Nathaniel again, and when I saw that he was not refuting my father's claims, my soul shattered.
How is the man I searched and waited for for years plotting to get married to my sister? How does that make sense? How is this… How could he do this? How…
“Nathaniel!” I screamed, and his brows twitched in pondering as he folded his arms.
“How dare you!” My father rebuked my angry utterance before the man I called could respond. “He is Mr. Storm. How dare you call him by name?! Wait? I never mentioned his full name. How do you-” He got up, and I saw fire in my father's eyes. “You have been spying on us, haven't you? You vile, good-for-nothing girl.”
I could no longer draw strength; my father's words were now making me shake with fear, just as it happened in the past. Nathaniel's silence worsened everything. The Nathaniel I dated and knew would not have remained quiet for so long.
With tears stinging my eyes, I looked down at the ground and tried to find something to say. “I-”
“I have nothing else to say to you. Go inside.” My father harshly pointed me out of the sitting room. “Do not come out unless I tell you to. Leave! Take your bastard and go inside!”
Foolishly, I did as he ordered.
With Raya walking behind me, I headed into the house, ignored the presence of my sister who walked past me and found the door to my room.

“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.
CHASING GHOSTS
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.
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife
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.
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.

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.
