Introduction
"Shut up," he growled against my skin, recapturing my lips. This kiss was slower, deeper, weighted with all the words we couldn't say.
When we finally broke apart, we were both breathing heavily. My lips were swollen, and my usually immaculate hair was disheveled. I was trapped between his body and the desk as I knew he was unwilling to let this moment end just yet.
"This changes nothing," I whispered, but my voice lacked conviction.
He smiled against my temple, a cold, knowing smile. "It changes everything, Ophelia. You just don't know it yet."
Ophelia tried every way to keep her distance from her boss as well as her ex-boyfriend while keeping her daughter a secret from him. Finnegan Shaw, being Ophelia's mysterious husband, had fallen in love again with Ophelia while refusing to let her off so easily after her betrayal six years ago.
When they face their true feelings, how would they choose? What awaits them is a wonderful yet unknown journey back to love.
Chapter 1
Ophelia's POV
The rain beat against the window like a thousand tiny fists, relentless and cold, mirroring the storm twisting inside me.
I lay beneath Finnegan, my body pressed into the mattress of his bed, the kind of luxury I would never get used to. His broad shoulders loomed over me, his breath hot against my neck as he moved, slow at first, deliberate, like he was savoring every second.
I wanted to savor it too—this last time—because I knew it was the end.
His mother's voice still echoed in my head, sharp and venomous: "You're not good enough for him, Ophelia. Take the money and go." The envelope of cash sat in my bag across the room, a silent witness to my betrayal.
Finnegan's hands gripped my hips, his fingers digging into my flesh as he thrust deeper, his cock filling me with a steady rhythm that makes my breath hitch. His hips snapped forward, and I felt every inch of him, the friction igniting something raw and desperate inside me. My legs were spread wide, thighs quivering as I arched my back, trying to meet his thrusts, trying to lose myself in this one final moment.
"God, you feel so good," he murmured, his voice low and rough, the kind of tone that used to make me melt. His hair fell into his eyes, damp with sweat, and I reached up to brush it away, my fingers lingering on his cheek. He was beautiful—too beautiful for someone like me, a plain med student with no pedigree, no fortune to match his. His mother was right.
My breasts bounced with each thrust, my nipples hard and aching as they rubbed against his chest. He noticed, dipping his head to catch one in his mouth, his tongue flicking over the sensitive peak.
I gasped, my hands fisting the sheets as a jolt of pleasure shoots straight to my core. His thrust grew faster, more forceful, the wet slap of skin against skin filling the room.
My clit throbbed with every movement, the pressure building low in my belly. His cock stretched me, the condom doing nothing to dull the sensation of him hitting that spot deep inside me, over and over, until I was whimpering beneath him.
"Finnegan," I moaned, my voice breaking as my nails rake down his back. He grunted, his pace faltering for a moment before he adjusted, propping himself up on his forearms to drive into me even deeper. The bed creaked under us, the headboard tapping the wall in time with the rain outside. My hips bucked up to meet him, my body chasing release even as my heart fractures. I could feel the orgasm coiling tight, ready to snap, and I clung to him, my legs wrapping around his waist.
"Come for me," he said, his breath ragged.
My pussy pulsed around him, the pleasure crashing over me in waves as I cried out, my vision blurring. Only then did he slow, his forehead resting against mine as he caught his breath.
"You're incredible, you know that?" he kissed me.
I pushed him off gently, sitting up as the rain drums harder against the window. My chest ached, my body still humming from his touch, but I forced the words out anyway. "Finnegan, we need to talk."
He frowned, propping himself up on one elbow. "What's wrong?"
I swallowed hard, my throat tight. "This… us… it's over. I can't do this anymore."
His face hardened, confusion flashing in his eyes. "What the hell are you talking about, Ophelia? We were just—"
"I know," I cut him off, my voice trembling. "But it doesn't change anything. We're done."
"Why?" he demanded, his voice rising. "Give me one fucking reason."
I paused, my back to him as I pulled on my shirt. I could tell him about his mother, about the money, about how she made it clear I would never be enough. But that would only make it worse. So I lied. "Because I don't love you anymore."
The silence was deafening, heavier than the rain outside. When I turned, his face was pale, his jaw tight. "You're lying," he said, but there was a crack in his voice, a hint of doubt.
"I'm not." I grabbed my bag, the weight of the envelope inside it like a stone sinking in my gut. "Goodbye, Finnegan."
"Ophelia, wait—" he started, scrambling out of bed, but I was already at the door, yanking it open. The hallway was dark, the sound of the storm louder now, and I didn't look back as I stepped into it. The rain hit me the moment I was outside, soaking through my clothes, chilling me to the bone. I walked away from his mansion, from his world, tears mixing with the water on my face.
Finnegan's POV
The door clicked shut behind Ophelia, and the silence crashed in like a wave, heavy and suffocating. I stood there, naked, my skin still slick with sweat, the air thick with the musky scent of her—sex, sweat, that faint floral perfume that clung to her like a second skin.
My chest heaved, my heart pounding against my ribs, and my cock hung half-hard against my thigh, still wet from her, mocking me with every twitch. She was gone. Just like that. After everything—after I'd fucked her senseless not ten minutes ago, her legs wrapped around me, her cunt gripping me so tight I'd lost myself in her. Now, nothing.
My body still buzzed—her taste on my lips, the memory of her cunt pulsing around me—and now this void. Rage simmered, questions clawing at me. I grabbed my phone, dialing one of my men. He answered fast. "Boss?"
I said, pacing, my voice low. "Dig into Ophelia. Last two weeks—everyone she's seen, everything she's done.."
"Got it," he said, already moving. "Anything specific?"
"Anything off," I growled, raking a hand through my hair. "Do it fast."
I tossed the phone down and sank onto the bed, elbows on my knees, head in my hands. My cock had softened, but my skin burned with her—her moans, her nails, the way she'd whimpered when I'd sucked her clit earlier. Now she was gone, and I was left reeling, hollowed out.
My man called back in under an hour. "Your mother," he said, voice tight. "Ophelia's met her three times this week—coffee shops, once at her place. No one else stands out. Just your mom."
Ice flooded my veins. My mother—who'd hated Ophelia from day one, called her a distraction, a threat. I'd told her to back off, but she hadn't. "What else?" I asked, my tone deadly.
"Nothing solid yet," Marcus said. "No recordings, no witnesses. But it's her."
"Enough," I said, standing. "I'll deal with it."
I hung up, staring out the window at the city's glow. My mother had gotten to her, twisted her somehow. I didn't know what she'd said, but I'd find out.
Ophelia thought she could cut me loose, but she was wrong.
I yanked on my jeans, the denim rough against my skin, then tugged my shirt over my head. She could run, but I wouldn't let her go—not after what we'd had, not after her body had been mine.
Her past I couldn't touch, but her future? That was mine to claim. I'd be there, every step, until she couldn't deny me.

Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
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.
The Rejected Luna’s Rise
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."

A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
