Chapter 1
Gabriela
A while ago I received a strange call from a man who asked me to see him at the Ritz hotel, to tell the truth, I am well known for my curiosity, so taking the pepper spray from my apartment I went to the aforementioned place.
-Excuse me, I'm...- I spoke to the hoster.
-This way, please - the boy guided me to a table.
How do you know which table I'm going to?
He opened my chair and I sat down, I admired the place that was completely empty, (which explains why the hoster knew which table he was going to) I would never have imagined myself in such a place in my dreams.
Now I wonder if it was a good idea to come, I say I don't lose anything, just to be kidnapped which was disturbing just thinking about it, but it's strange that a stranger calls you on the phone and invites you to dinner, just that you have Tinder could be considered normal, but I have nothing like that, so I pray mentally for the little virgin to protect
My sight stopped on the face in front of me, it was attractive, dark blue eyes, white skin, black hair and a trace of dark beard on his chin, something was known to me, but I didn't locate him, although where could I meet him from?
He cleared his throat and diverted my gaze, which surely made him uncomfortable.
- What do you think if we have dinner first? - The waiter gives us the menu.
Well, at least he didn't see me as an easy girl.
I look at the menu and God everything looks absolutely expensive, with a single dish I can pay my rent.
Well, what did you expect from such a place - says my inner self.
I'd better order a glass with water, that's free.
....
I was focused on my dessert (because since he said he was inviting, I ordered what I wanted the most).
-I know you're sick- with that I gained my attention, I stopped the spoon with a piece of the tartlet halfway- and that you can't afford the treatment- I looked at it with the face of How the hell do you know? -Well, I'll do it.
Holy mother!! A miracle...
You'll be stupid how you'll accept that if you barely know him.
-What? - My confusion must have been mixed with the meme that was supposed to be my face, (eyebrows furrowed and open lips)
-I will pay for your treatment- his voice was so calm.
Leave the spoon on the plate.
- You don't have to do it, I barely know him and it wouldn't be right - I hurried to answer
"Let's say I'm a good Samaritan," I look at him and there is no expression on his face.
Do you want to see my stupid face?
-Do you want to do a campaign and for me to say how grateful I am for your help? - He smiles funny at my comment
He has a beautiful smile.
Concentrate- I give myself a mental slap.
- If I wanted to do that, I wouldn't do it personally.
-So, what do you want? -I frown-no one does anything for free.
"You're right about that," she said quite amusingly, resting her elbows on the table, "I want a small favor," I look at him intrigued, that I can give to someone who has everything.
I hope he doesn't kidnap me, because I'm too young to die that ugly.
His words interrupt my thoughts leaving me cold.
-Hal with me, miss. - Literally my chin fell to the ground.
What?
I laughed, because it was the only thing that went well right now, this must have been a joke, someone must be recording us for those weird Reality Shows that go on TV at night.
"Are they recording us?" He frowned confusedly.
-No
I had to make sure.
- I... I can't accept, I barely know him-I murmur resting my elbows on the table and my head on my hands.
"Christopher Huberman called me," he introduces himself, "and you are Gabriela Cruise," he says seriously, without any trace of mockery.
How did you know my name?!
-This is very strange and...
-I'll help you that's what counts. -he hurried to say making me look at him confused-Think about my proposal, I'll leave you my card call me if you accept - He gave me the card, paid the bill and left.
What the hell just happened?
A very handsome stranger asked you to marry, that is amazing, you should accept, you can see that he has money - I answer my conscience, I decide to ignore it and I finish my dessert, because something good has to come out of this.

Invincible Upon Release: The Strongest Mage
Her family looked down on him, and even she herself said coldly: “You’re not worthy of being my husband.”
Everyone thought this newly released good-for-nothing was just a poor fool who’d taken the fall for his brother.
Thorne said nothing.
He merely raised his hand, gently pressing his bride’s forehead.
In an instant, the chaos in her eyes faded. Holy light surged from beneath the church, shooting into the sky.
The world’s only candidate for the Saintess, blessed with holy power, slowly opened her clear eyes before him.
Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
Ignition And Ice; A Racer's Forbidden Blueprint
The first? Becoming an architect worthy of finally making her mark.
The second?
Convincing herself that one day, Hayes Gallagher–NHL superstar, lifelong best friend, and the man she’s secretly loved for years–will finally see her as more than the girl who’s always there when he needs her.
He doesn’t.
So when Hayes abandons her for yet another girl, Merritt decides she’s done waiting.
One reckless night later, she ends up in the arms of a stranger whose touch makes forgetting Hayes dangerously easy.
She never expects to see him again. Until that stranger turns out to be Stellan Mercer.
Formula One’s most infamous golden boy. And Hayes’s stepbrother who is the one man Hayes would rather destroy than share a room with.
When Stellan uses his influence to make Merritt lead designer on his luxury penthouse project, staying away from him becomes impossible.
Working behind closed doors quickly turns into a secret neither of them can afford. Because the more Merritt falls for the man she was never supposed to touch… the more Hayes realizes he may have lost the only girl who ever truly loved him.
And when jealousy, family rivalry, and the spotlight collide, Merritt will have to decide which dream she’s willing to lose.
Her career, her heart. Or both.

Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.

Lethal Web of Mafia's Revenge (Sequal to "Innocent in Mafia's Web)
He was a beast inhabiting this mansion, inflicting inhuman torture on my poor soul. He had created a living hell for me, this pitiful girl, within his castle.
On this cold winter night, he threw my wounded body into the icy pool, arrogantly enjoying it all, drinking and smoking expensive cigars. A satisfied, cold smile played on his lips as he reveled in my pain. His face was filled with the darkness of sin.
“How...more...am I…still…standing?” I stammered, my lips trembling.
Zain paused, thinking. Then, turning away from her, he replied:
“Until you die!”
With that, he left. As he wished. At that moment, my wish came true; I died.
But not in a frozen pool; I was struck in the head by a bullet from afar, blood splattering everywhere—that was far more gruesome.
My consciousness began to fade, but suddenly, I opened my eyes again and found myself mopping the floor in an ordinary restaurant.
I was startled: What happened? I was reborn? This is unbelievable!
