Introduction
Cora Dev has lived with quiet self-discipline for years—until her closest friend betrays her, delivering her into the arms of a stranger.
Julian Watson, the ruthless heir who controls an empire with a single call, needs a bride to quell a scandal and outmaneuver his enemies.
He never expected her.
She never expected to carry the next generation of the Watson legacy.
When night falls, desire becomes destiny.
Their story begins.
Chapter 1
Warmth.
That was the first thing Cora Dev felt when she woke — a strong arm around her waist, the steady rise and fall of a man’s chest against her back.
Instinctively, she snuggled closer.
Her body ached everywhere; she hadn’t slept at all last night.
Still, she didn’t regret it.
For two years, she’d been with Matt Miller, always dodging when he tried to take things further.
She wasn’t old-fashioned — she just wanted to wait until it meant something.
But this time was different.
Matt had been transferred out of state for two years, and he was leaving tomorrow.
And tomorrow also happened to be her twenty-third birthday.
An important night, a few drinks with her best friend Dina, and a little encouragement later…
Cora booked a luxury suite at the Hilton, determined to give Matt the most precious part of herself.
Smiling drowsily, she slipped her hand around the man’s waist. Matt’s gotten fitter, she thought dreamily. Not too lean, not too bulky — just perfect.
“Mm… Dina, you’re awake?”
A deep male voice rumbled above her. “Rough night, huh?”
“Don’t say that, Matt,” she murmured, hugging him tighter. “I wanted this.”
Dina… Matt…?
They froze at the same time.
One stunned heartbeat later, both of them jerked apart.
Cora fumbled for the bedside lamp.
Light flooded the room — and a completely unfamiliar face stared back at her.
She screamed. “Who are you!”
Grabbing the quilt, she covered herself from head to toe. “Why are you here?”
“This is my room! Who the hell are you?” The man looked just as shocked.
A chill crept up her spine. “This is 1216 — my friend gave me the keycard. My boyfriend and I were — I mean…”
He let out a short, scornful laugh. “That’s the lamest excuse I’ve ever heard.”
Julian Watson — that Watson — had seen plenty of women try to get into his bed.
But crying innocence after the fact? That was new.
“How much do you want?”
The contempt in his voice hit her like a slap.
Cora bit her lip, forcing herself to think back to last night.
She and Dina Baker had been drinking to celebrate two things — Dina’s big break in Milan and Cora’s birthday.
Cora had gotten tipsy; Dina kept teasing her to “finally seal the deal” with Matt before he left.
Somewhere between laughter and champagne, Dina handed her a keycard and told her which suite to use.
Cora had walked straight into the room, heart pounding — and apparently, straight into the wrong man’s arms.
“I don’t want money!” she snapped. “Where’s Matt?”
Julian frowned. Matt? She’d said that name twice.
He remembered last night clearly — he had been waiting for Dina.
Someone swiped into his room; the lights stayed off; the perfume in the air was the one Dina always wore.
But when he woke up, it wasn’t Dina lying beside him. It was this woman.
He was about to question her when his phone rang. Dina’s name flashed on the screen.
“Dina. Explain,” he said flatly.
Her voice came through, breathless with apology.
“Julian, I’m so sorry. I got a last-minute call from Milan — they want me to close the fashion show! You know it’s my dream. I flew out at eight last night. Please don’t be mad, okay? Oh, and… did you like the gift? I picked it just for you.”
Julian’s eyes darkened. “Gift?”
“Yes,” she whispered. “She’s a virgin. Isn’t that nice?”
Julian’s lips curved coldly. “How could I be upset with such a thoughtful girlfriend? Do well in Milan.”
He hung up.
Across the room, Cora was tearing through her things, desperate for any sign of Matt.
Nothing.
Her stomach twisted. She’d spent the night with a stranger. How was she supposed to face Matt now?
Tears spilled over. She crouched in the corner, sobbing silently, pretending the man watching her didn’t exist.
Julian exhaled, expression unreadable.
The woman was plain — too plain for Dina’s usual games. Maybe the “gift” wasn’t even her.
Either way, what happened could never get out.
He slipped into his coat, pulled out his checkbook, scrawled a number, and tore the page free.
This should be enough to keep her quiet.

3/ Rags and Ritches-
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?

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.
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.
Fated to the Enemy: The Alpha's Witch Bride
My touch tames his inner beast.

But our forbidden heat is intoxicating.
When his monstrous Primal breaks free, slaughtering everything in its path, even his fiercest warriors cower.
I don't.
I walk straight to the blood-soaked beast, press my body against his, and tame him with a single, desperate embrace.
There’s just one problem: his clan betrothed him to a Shaman’s daughter.
I tell myself it's purely political. I tell myself his heart is mine.
Until tonight.
He sneaks into the woods for me. We share a deep, hungry kiss under the moonlight.
But as I pull back, my blood runs cold.
Right there, on the neck of the man I just risked my soul to save...
Is a fresh, undeniable bite mark.
Mating Moon
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
