Introduction
When I introduced her to Ethan Cole, she folded her arms.
“He'll cheat on you, too. Give him time.”
Ethan took my hand.
“Then watch me, Ms. Reed.”
She slapped the table.
“I will.”
For seven years, she sent me updates whenever I wasn't with him.
Every year, she found nothing.
In the seventh, he proposed, and I said yes.
That night, a post appeared in my feed:
“I slept with my best friend's boyfriend. What do I do?”
The writer added, “I've spent seven years watching him love her. Tonight he asked her to marry him. Then he slept with me.”
My thumb stopped over the screen.
I could still hear Vanessa's hand hitting that table.
Chapter 1
After her boyfriend cheated on her seven years into their relationship, my best friend, Vanessa Reed, stopped trusting men.
When I introduced her to Ethan Cole, she folded her arms.
“He'll cheat on you, too. Give him time.”
Ethan took my hand.
“Then watch me, Ms. Reed.”
She slapped the table.
“I will.”
For seven years, she sent me updates whenever I wasn't with him.
Every year, she found nothing.
In the seventh, he proposed, and I said yes.
That night, a post appeared in my feed:
“I slept with my best friend's boyfriend. What do I do?”
The writer added, “I've spent seven years watching him love her. Tonight he asked her to marry him. Then he slept with me.”
My thumb stopped over the screen.
I could still hear Vanessa's hand hitting that table.
——————————————————————
The ring Ethan had put on my finger a few hours earlier caught the light as I closed the post and called him.
He answered. “What's wrong?”
His voice was rough.
“Nothing. What are you doing?” I tried to keep my own voice steady.
He gave a quiet laugh. “Working. I'll come home when I'm done. Go to sleep.”
“Okay.”
I hung up and reopened the post. There were two new updates.
POST UPDATE:
“My best friend just called to ask him to come home.”
“He sounds so gentle when he talks to her. Why is he so cold with me?”
I pressed my lips together until they hurt.
Seven years. A proposal tonight. That phone call.
It was Vanessa.
I kept reading.
POST UPDATE:
“He really does love her. I thought no man could ever make me believe in that again, but watching him did.”
“He's remembered her period every month for seven years.”
“Once, she flew home from a business trip during a downpour. He had a high fever, and he still went to the airport to get her.”
I remembered that night. The rain had been so bad that I hadn't even asked him to come.
But there he was at arrivals, his shirt soaked through, water dripping from his hair. He smiled before he came toward me.
I touched his cheek.
“You're burning up.”
“I missed you.” He took my suitcase.
At home, the thermometer read 102.2°F. I went to get a damp towel, but he caught my wrist.
“You've had a long day. Sit down. Don't fuss over me.”
“Ethan, you can barely stand. I'll get you some medicine.”
He laughed, his breath hot against my arm. “Slow down. I'm not dying.”
The next update appeared beneath my thumb.
POST UPDATE:
“The fever didn't break. He collapsed at work the next day. I work at his company, so I helped his assistant get him to the hospital.”
“He held my hand so tight it hurt. He kept saying he had to get to the airport. He had to pick her up.”
“He was burning up, and he was still thinking about her.”
“I smacked his hand. I told him he was out of his mind.”
“It took him a while to recognize me. Then he said, ‘Don't tell her.’ He was practically begging.”
“I said I wouldn't. Only then did he let go and close his eyes.”
I had to grip the phone with both hands.
I hadn't known he'd been in the hospital.
He'd called me and said, “I have to go away for work for a few days. Don't miss me too much.”
I'd wondered why the trip had come up at such short notice. I hadn't asked anything else.
POST UPDATE:
“I looked after him while he was there.”
“With her, he's always calm. Always in control. He can handle anything.”
“But he can be a terrible patient. He kept pulling out his IV. The nurses couldn't get him to listen. I'd give him a look, and he'd frown and get back into bed.”
“One of the nurses told me I must be special to him. They'd been trying all morning, and he settled down as soon as I arrived.”
“I didn't know whether to be happy or scared.”
My stomach tightened.
I'd asked Vanessa to meet up during those few days. She'd laughed over the phone.
“Sorry, Claire. I'm stuck at the hospital taking care of a very difficult patient.”
“You sound awfully happy about it,” I'd teased. “Is there something you want to tell me?”
She'd paused, then laughed again. “No.”
I'd been glad. Maybe she was finally getting over her ex. Maybe she'd met someone.
If she got married, I was going to give her the biggest wedding gift I could afford.
The post moved on to tonight.
POST UPDATE:
“After he proposed, she wanted him to have a drink with her. He's allergic to alcohol, but he smiled and drank it anyway.”
“He'll do anything for her.”
“Later, he said he had to go back to the office. I went, too. I knew he must be feeling awful.”
“When he saw me follow him in, he told me to get out.”
“I stayed by the door. He was trying to loosen his tie, but he kept pulling the knot tighter.”
“He'd never let her see him like that.”
“I went over and undid it for him.”
“He went still. His eyes were red, and he wouldn't look at me.”
“I asked him, ‘Aren't you tired, Ethan?’”
“He looked at me for so long I thought he was going to push me away.”
“Then he closed his eyes.”
“I stood on my toes to kiss him.”
“He didn't move away.”
I couldn't stop reading.
POST UPDATE:
“He was still wearing his engagement band on his left ring finger. He had my scratches on his back.”
“Afterward, he was so cold. He wouldn't even look at me before he left.”
“I don't know what I was thinking. I never meant for this to happen.”
“All I can think about now is my best friend's face.”
“I've done something awful to her.”

Exchanging Vows: The Swapped Wife Is a Top Shaman
The rejected white luna
Where The Ice Gives Way
Blake Atlas scents his mate the moment Charlotte arrives. The bond hits hard and unmistakable, but Charlotte doesn’t recognise it. She doesn’t know why her chest keeps pulling toward the one boy she absolutely cannot afford to want. Blake is Charlie’s new hockey captain. Charlie’s chance at making something good. Charlie makes it clear; his sister is off-limits and Blake tries to do the right thing, but secrets don’t stay buried forever. Rogues prowl the edges of town. The ice cracks. The bond tightens. Then Charlotte’s rare white wolf awakens, the very thing that makes her powerful, also makes her a target.
Shanti needs Shakti. (Peace needs strength.)
Where the Ice Gives Way is a slow-burn YA paranormal romance filled with fated mates, protective alpha energy, fierce sibling loyalty, found family pack bonds, hurt/comfort, and quiet, aching tension. It’s a story about first belonging, learning to be cared for, and what happens when the girl who has always held everyone else up finally falls, and someone catches her.
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.
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?
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.

Accardi
“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.

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.
