Introduction
Chapter 1
It was just after six in the evening when Adrian arrived at the airport for his
red eye flight to London. He had kept everyone waiting on the tarmac for
almost 2hrs, and if there was one person who wasn’t pleased, that was Aria,
the flight attendant. It was her first time flying for his private company and she
had no idea what to expect. She patiently waited at the door of the small plane
and felt her heart skip a beat the moment her eyes fell on the very sexy guy
walking up to her,
“ Good evening sir” she said as politely as she could the moment he reached
the top. Adrian looked down at the beauty in front of him thinking fuck she
looked hot.
“ Evening” he said quietly before he walked past her, looking very unbothered.
Aria watched him quietly,
“ It’s going to be a long night” she thought before she smiled at a few of his
men who followed him inside.
Once they were all onboard she closed the planes door and walked to the small
galley.
Adrian walked towards the back of the plane and took his seat near the
window.
“My names Aria and I will be taking care of you all for todays flight to London.
The flight time is roughly seven hours and fifteen minutes. If there’s anything
I can do to make your flight more pleasant, please do let me know and I will
try my best” Aria said through her small mouth piece as she looked at him and
his men.
Adrian leaned back against his seat lazily and watched her quietly as she spoke,
her soft melodic voice catching his attention almost instantly.
“ You don’t see girls like her everyday” he thought to himself as he admired
her natural looking features, thinking she looked beautiful. Aria walked over
to him,
“ What would you like?” She asked as she held a tray of cold drinks in her
hands. She had to admit up close he looked even more sexy and a lot more
serious.
Adrian rested his hand on his chin and looked up at her,
“ I’ll take the water” he said quietly yet clearly. Aria gave him a small polite
nod before she put the glass of water infront of him and walked away. She
walked to her seat and quickly fastened her seatbelt as the pilot announced
that they would be taking of soon.
It was 2hrs into the flight and Aria had just served dinner to everyone. She had
tried her best to not give Adrian any extra attention or check him out, but it
was getting extremely hard as he looked effortlessly good.
She wondered how old he was as he didn’t look too young but had a nice bulky
built muscled body.
“Can I get some more coke please?” One of the men travelling with him asked
her, bringing her out of her deep thoughts. Aria gave him a small nod and
smiled,
“Of course” she said before she walked over to him and poured some more
coke into his glass with a can.
Adrian watched her quietly, his eyes falling on her nice behind and long legs.
He swore quietly in his head and shook his head, thinking she looked barely
twenty.
“Excuse me” he said getting all of her attention. Aria turned around and looked
at him with a small smile,
“Is everything ok?” She asked, thinking his sexy deep voice alone was enough
to make her weak.
“How old are you?” Adrian asked her with a serious look, making her pretty
eyes widen for a split second.
Aria moved a little closer to him and looked down at him,
“I’ll let you take a guess” she said with a small smile, wondering what his eyes
looked like from under the dark sunglasses that he was wearing. Adrian
listened,
“ I’d say around twenty” he said quietly, wondering what she would say. Aria
smiled and looked at him,
“ You’re close” she said before she walked away, leaving him even more
curious. Adrian watched her go, thinking it had been a very long time since
someone had got his attention like she had.
Aria walked back to the galley and started preparing the hot drinks.
“ You might want to work a little faster” Adrian said to her quietly as he walked
up to her from behind. Aria jumped a little as she wasn’t expecting anyone,
“ Is there anything I can help you with?” She asked as a bit of the hot water
from the kettle fell on her hand.
Adrian took a step closer to her and looked down at her,
“ There is one thing actually” he said quietly with a hand in his pocket as he
walked towards her. Aria felt her heart skip a beat as a bad memory from the
past filled her head and she suddenly felt very scared. She took a step back
and looked up at him with fear clear in her eyes,
“ Can you please go back to your seat” she said quietly, hoping he listened.
Adrian stopped and looked at her,
“ Are you ok?” He asked quietly wondering why she looked so scared. Aria
quickly got herself together,
“ Yes what would you like?” She asked with a small smile, trying her best to
cover up how she really felt.
Adrian leaned back against the side of the galley and looked at her as she got
back to making the coffee,
“ Tea would be fine” he said with a hand on his chin. Aria quickly prepared his
drink and looked over at him,
“ Interesting because you look more of a coffee guy” she said with a small
smile, hoping he didn’t question her further about why she got scared. Adrian
listened,
“ Is that your way of saying look old?” He asked with a very small smirk on the
corner of his lips. Aria stirred his tea and looked up at him with a small smile,
“ Maybe” she said with a cheeky twinkle in her eyes before she passed him his
coffee.
Adrian took it from her perfectly manicured delicate hand and slowly walked
back to his seat.
“ London couldn’t come sooner” Aria thought to herself as she prepared some
food for the pilots.
There was still a good few hours of the flight left and she hoped Adrian kept
his distance. She walked to the cockpit and smiled at both of the pilots,
“ dinner is served” she said politely. The pilots who were both in their late
fifties looked back at her,
“ Well isn’t that great” one of them said with a small smile as he loosened his
tie and got ready to eat.
“ How are the passengers? We have a very special person on board today” the
other pilot said, getting all of her attention. Aria listened quietly,
“ Ah yes Adrian Delgado, let him know he’s welcome to come up here anytime
he likes” the first pilot said as he opened up his food. Aria gave him a small
smile,
“ I will” she said before she turned around and walked out of the cockpit,
thinking so that was the name of her very sexy passenger. It suited him
perfectly and sounded just as fancy as he looked. She closed the cockpit door
and walked back to the cabin,
“ The pilots asked me to let you know that you’re more then welcome to join
them in the cockpit if you like” she said to Adrian with a small smile, hoping
he agreed.
Adrian leaned back against his seat and looked at her,
“ Not trying to get rid of me are you?” He asked before he drank some more
of his tea. Aria looked at him,
“ Not at all” she said with a small smile, although her tone of voice didn’t sound
very convincing. Adrian slowly moved his eyes up her body,
“ Good to know because I much rather stay here with you” he said quietly yet
clearly. It was then Aria realised that it was just them two there alone.
She looked around the empty cabin and wondered where his men had gone.
“ I sent them to rest” Adrian said quietly answering her unasked question. Aria
felt her heart skip a beat and lost her balance slightly as the plane flew through
some light turbulence. Adrian caught her before she fell,
“ Careful beautiful” he said quietly as he wrapped his nicely muscled arm
around her waist and steadied her.
Aria held onto him by his big bulky shoulders and looked down at him thinking
he looked so fucking sexy.
“ Thank you” she said quietly, liking the feel of his nice hands on her waist. She
noticed the bit of hair he had on top of them and had to admit they looked
very sexy.
He was wearing a few silver rings and had his sleeves rolled back a little.
“ No need to thank me, just give me a bit of your time” Adrian said to her
quietly as he looked up into her big eyes that looked even more beautiful up
close. Aria leaned down and looked at his perfect looking lips,
“ As you wish handsome” she said before she straddled him and wrapped both
of her arms around his sexy neck, thinking fuck he even smelt amazing.

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.
