Tempted by Accident

Introduction
But instead, I accidentally sent a very naughty message to my cold, bossy CEO. Mr. Adrian Cole.
He doesn’t just ignore it.
He replies: “If you’re that curious, I can give you a real experience.”
That one message changes everything.
A night I can’t forget.
A secret that could end my career.
And a man who suddenly wants more than just one night.
But Adrian has secrets — dark ones.
And when I start getting mysterious threats at work, I realize our night together was no accident.
Someone wants to destroy both of us…
And the man I’m falling for might be the one holding the knife.

Chapter one
“If you’re free tonight, want to watch something… adult, raw and crazy?”
The moment I hit send, my world froze.
It took me three full seconds to realize the horror of what I had just done.
That message wasn’t supposed to go to Mr. Adrian Cole, my boss.
It was meant for my boy friend, Ethan
My thumb hovered over the screen, trembling. Maybe he wouldn’t see it. Maybe I could unsend it before.
Ding.
No. No, no, no.
The message was marked seen.
My lungs refused to work. I dropped my phone on my desk and pressed my palms against my face, muttering, “God, just delete me from Earth.”
I peeked through my fingers at my phone again. No reply. Not yet.
Maybe he’d think it was spam. Or a prank.
Please, let it be a prank.
“Lila, are you okay?” someone asked.
I looked up and saw Mia, my coworker, watching me with a frown.
“Do I look okay?” I whispered.
“I think I just flirted with the boss.”
Her eyes widened. “Wait, you didn’t...”
“I did!” I hissed. “I texted him by mistake! Oh my God, I’m fired. I’m officially fired.”
Before she could respond, my phone buzzed. Once.
I froze. Mia leaned closer. “Don’t tell me that’s him.”
It was.
Mr. Cole: Be specific, Lila. What kind of adult?
Mia slapped a hand over her mouth to keep from screaming.
I, on the other hand, stopped breathing entirely.
My boss Mr. Adrian Cole had replied.
And not just any reply. A teasing reply.
This man never joked. Never smiled. Never even blinked twice during meetings. He was the definition of “don’t talk to me unless it’s work-related.”
“What do I do?” I whispered, panicking.
Mia snatched the phone from my hand. “Block him and run to HR—”
Buzz. Another message.
Mr. Cole: My office. Now.
I grabbed my bag. “I’m dead.”
The elevator ride felt like a trip to the underworld. Every second ticked louder, echoing in my skull.
When I reached the top floor, I almost turned back but his secretary had already seen me.
“Mr. Cole’s expecting you,” she said with a faint smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
Of course he was.
I stepped into his office, the door closing behind me with a soft click.
He was standing by the window, hands in his pockets, staring out at the city skyline. The sunlight caught the edge of his suit, tracing his tall frame.
“Miss James,” he said without turning. His voice was deep, low and dangerous.
“Do you usually send your boss those kinds of invitations during work hours?”
My throat went dry. “Sir, it was an accident...”
He turned, finally facing me. His eyes were calm, unreadable. “An accident?”
“Yes! It wasn’t for you, I swear!”
His gaze lingered on me for a long second. Too long.
Then, the corner of his lips lifted slightly. “Interesting mistake.”
I blinked. “I—I’ll make sure it never happens again.”
“I hope not,” he said quietly. “Because next time, I might not be this patient.”
My heart thudded painfully.
He walked past me, close enough for me to smell his cologne—fresh, expensive, intoxicating.
When the door opened, I expected him to dismiss me.
Instead, he paused.
“Lock the door on your way out,” he said, voice low.
Then he added, almost lazily, “And Lila—don’t text what you can’t handle.”
The door shut behind him.
I stood frozen, cheeks burning, heart racing so fast it hurt.
What did that even mean?
Before I could process it, my phone buzzed again.
Mr. Cole: You’ll stay late tonight. We have… unfinished business.
My hand shook as I read the message.
Unfinished business?
What business could possibly be unfinished between me and my boss?
And that was how one wrong text started the biggest disaster of my life.

“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.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
His Mission
Emily is suddenly thrown from one world of danger and uncertainty into another. The two teens ride the rollercoaster of love, unbelievable betrayal and heartache.
Badass in Disguise
"Jade, I need to check your—" the nurse began.
"OUT!" I snarled with enough force that both women backed toward the door.
Once feared by Shadow Organization that drugged me to replicate my abilities into a more controllable version, I had escaped my restraints and detonated their entire facility, ready to die alongside my captors.
Instead, I woke up in a school infirmary with women arguing around me, their voices piercing my skull. My outburst froze them in shock—clearly they hadn't expected such a reaction. One woman threatened as she left, "We'll discuss this attitude when you get home."
The bitter truth? I've been reborn into the body of an overweight, weak, and supposedly dim-witted high school girl. Her life is filled with bullies and tormentors who've made her existence miserable.
But they have no idea who they're dealing with now.
I didn't survive as the world's deadliest assassin by allowing anyone to push me around. And I certainly won't start now.

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
Mated by Contract to the Alpha
William—my devastatingly handsome, wealthy werewolf fiancé destined to become Delta—was supposed to be mine forever. After five years together, I was ready to walk down the aisle and claim my happily ever after.
Instead, I found him with her. And their son.
Betrayed, jobless, and drowning in my father's medical bills, I hit rock bottom harder than I ever imagined possible. Just when I thought I'd lost everything, salvation came in the form of the most dangerous man I'd ever encountered.
Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.

My Possessive Alpha Twins For Mate
My drunk stepfather remained indifferent, his weight suffocating, making it hard to breathe as my heart raced.
Suddenly, the door slammed open, and two figures burst in.
"Get off her!" a deafening roar echoed.
I didn't expect the twin brothers who'd bullied me at school to come charging in like gods to save me.

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
