Introduction
She married him for one reason—his wealth.
But before she became the wealthy Mrs. Brook, Maya made one mistake that refused to stay buried.
During a drunken night at a ball, she slept with Brian Brook, a man she never expected to see again. Unfortunately, Brian had recorded everything.
From that moment, Maya became trapped in his blackmail.
Brian threatened to expose her secret to her husband unless she continued meeting him. She hated being controlled, yet there was something about Brian she couldn’t deny.
Eventually, Maya decided there was only one way to end the nightmare.
She poisoned him.
She ran before she could confirm whether he was dead.
Years later, Maya has rebuilt her life in London with her wealthy husband. She should have forgotten Brian.
But she hasn’t.
Something feels wrong.
She constantly feels watched. Followed. Monitored.
And every time she sleeps in a certain room, she wakes up the next morning with no memory of what happened during the night.
Then she notices something even more disturbing.
She wakes up naked.
And somehow, she feels as though she has experienced a pleasure she cannot explain.
Was it only a dream?
Was she doing something to herself without realizing it?
Or is someone entering that room while she sleeps?
Determined to discover the truth, Maya secretly places a camera inside the room.
What she sees on the recording changes everything.
A shadow.
A body.
A familiar presence.
And suddenly, Maya begins to wonder if the man she left behind years ago ever truly died.
Chapter 1
PROLOGUE
Damn, Maya... you were so tight today."
Brian muttered, his heavy, ragged breath hot against my neck as he collapsed beside me onto the damp forest floor.
"Now you have to end this Brian! This is enough! You have to delete that video right now!"
I gasped, buttoning my dress and brushing off the stench of the dry grass beneath us.
"Okay, okay! I deleted it," Brian muttered, pulling up his shorts,his breathing heavy "Happy now?"
"Brian, this is the last time we ever—"
"Oh, stop it, Maya," Brian sneered. "Tell me you don’t enjoy every second of this. I read your messages—you’ve never enjoyed a single moment with that impotent excuse for a husband."
I shoved him in fury. "He is my husband! You will respect him! Stop fucking stalking and blackmailing me, you sick psycho!"
Brian gave a devilish smirk. "Are you really going to pretend you don't crave my touch?"
His hand slithered up my neck, sliding down toward my waist. An electric shock coursed down my spine, but I snapped back to reality and shoved him away.
"I am a married woman! Stop blackmailing me! I want to focus on my marriage, my home, and—"
"Your impotent husband?"
SMACK!
My hand cracked across his cheek, sending him staggering back.
I instantly froze. Violence wasn't going to get me out of this—I needed him relaxed so he would drink the juice bottle spiked with peanut butter.
"I'm sorry, Brian," I softened my voice, reaching out to steady him. "I just hate when you speak about him like that. Here... take a drink."
I took a tiny fake sip from the bottle and handed it over. He snatched it and gulped it down.
"If not for his empire, would you even stay with him?" Brian rasped, wiping his mouth.
"Maybe..." I murmured, watching him drain the bottle.
"I’ve spent months watching you," Brian bragged. "Learning every little secret..."
Suddenly, his words cut off. Brian began to choke, his hands flying to his throat as he gasped for air.
"I learned about your deadly allergy, Brian," I whispered. "Since you wouldn't delete the video from that ball night when you took advantage of me... I decided to delete you."
Brian collapsed to the dirt, his eyes wide with horror. "You... you..."
"Just die, Brian, and leave us alone," I said, watching his body go rigid. "Maybe you were right—I want his wealth, and I don't care about his performance. I’d rather be with him than a monster like you. And his performance? We’re going to fix it."
I scoffed at my own words. For years, Clint had tried everything—medications, herbal cures, adult films—yet nothing worked.
I turned and walked away. That was my fatal mistake,"WALKING AWAY!!
I never double-checked.
I never looked back.
I just ran after seeing his body go still.
Chapter One : Letting go
"Get off me, Clint!"
Clint groaned, trembling on top of me, his sweat dripping onto my skin. I shoved him off, pulled up my lace nightwear, and walked out, ignoring his desperate shouts.
"It’s always the same, Clint! Zero improvement!" I snapped, leaving him naked on the bed.
I walked down to the secluded room at the far end of our estate—the same room where I had found solace ever since moving to London following Brian’s death. I shut the door, sinking into the silence.
Maya... Maya...
Clint’s pounding on the door woke me hours later.
Gently opening my eyes, I gasped. It had happened again. I was naked, consumed by a strange, overwhelming satisfaction that made no sense. Ever since Brian died, this room was the only place I woke up feeling fulfilled, happy, and completely satisfied.
Maybe I’m just satisfying myself in my sleep, I thought, pulling my clothes on before opening the door.
Clint stood there, holding a small package. "Oliver got me a new medication, darling! I stayed up all night watching guides. I promise I’ll—"
"Just stop, Clint," I exhaled. "You’ve always made that promise ever since we got married. I’m going to the supermarket. Just deal with it."
After taking a shower, I stood beside my car in the quiet estate driveway. Ria walked over with a mischievous grin.
"Ever since you moved in next door, you've been a pain in my neck," I teased, smiling.
"Admit it, you love me!" Ria laughed. "I brought life to this empty estate. How did you even find this place?"
I looked around the isolated grounds. There were only two occupied houses, with a third sitting abandoned at the far end. "I find peace here."
Ria slid a package into my hands. "Got this like you asked. It's way bigger, with plenty of veins on the sides."
"You spoiled brat!" I laughed, shoving the boxed Dildo into my passenger seat.
"A friend invited me to a party tonight. You should come have some fun!" Ria added.
"The last time I tried to 'have fun,' it almost destroyed my life," I replied, stepping into my car. "We’ll talk later."
All through the drive, a black car trailed me in the rearview mirror. I tried to brush it off as paranoia.
I pulled into the supermarket lot and got out. Nearby, a man wearing a black baseball cap pulled low stood watching me, his face completely hidden.
I walked inside, picking up groceries while keeping an eye on him. He was hovering just a few aisles away, glaring right at me.
"Hey! Where is the fucking peanut butter?!" the man suddenly roared at an employee. "Where is the fucking peanut butter?!"
"Your hand is literally on it, creepy freak," a customer muttered, walking away.
My heart hammered against my ribs. Panic seized me, and I spun on my heel to sprint out of the store.
Just as I turned, his raspy, terrifyingly voice echoed through the aisle:
"I... I’m actually allergic to this fucker..."

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.

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.
Mated To My Nemesis
Agnes Tremaine arrived in Melbourne with a camera but no backstory in this world. She was meant to document one season. She never realized she was already the blueprint — that the connections, the open doors, and the meticulous arrangements were all built specifically for her, tailored and designed to use her.
Ace had a nine-year revenge in the making. A journalist had destroyed his sister's life and left no fingerprints. Now the man's daughter was standing in his garage with a camera, and Ace had been the one to open the door.
His wolf chooses a mate he never wanted and couldn't shake — not in the paddock, not on the track, not even at 200mph where nothing else had ever followed him before.
For the first time in his life, he couldn't have it all.
