He ruined hers.
Now they have another chance, but a secret could tear them apart.
Aria Blake is a new maid, unnoticed by the rich and powerful. But when tech billionaire Damian Cross is attacked at home, she's the one who finds him barely alive. She saves him, then vanishes.
The next day, she's fired for something she didn't do. She's silenced, embarrased and sent away.
Damian wakes up remembering a scent of lavender and a voice that told him to live. Nobody knows who saved him, but he can't forget her. He finally finds her.
One night together changes everything.
When Aria finds out she's pregnant, Damian wants her to marry him for the baby. But his angry ex-girlfriend will do anything to get rid of her, and Damian's own secrets might be the most dangerous of all.
She was the woman he never expected.
Now she's the only one he wants.
Chapter 1
Chapter One
"Are you sure you'll be okay with Mrs. Donnelly?" Aria asked for the fourth time.
Lucy playfully rolled her eyes. "She's really old, Aria. I think I can handle her."
Aria smiled, but felt a pang in her heart. "Don't bother her too much. And don't forget your medicine. I left it by the sink. I also packed extra soup in the freezer."
"I'll be fine. You'll be gone for five days, not forever."
Aria swallowed hard. "As soon as I get paid, I'll send money. I promise. Right away."
Lucy leaned her head on Aria's shoulder. "Just come visit on Saturday. If you're not too busy being Cinderella for rich people."
Aria chuckled. "Only if they give me a pumpkin carriage."
The bus stopped suddenly at a big gate with iron bars. A security camera turned towards them. The driver didn't wait.
"End of the line," he grunted.
Aria got off, pulling her backpack onto one arm and holding Lucy's hand with the other.
A speaker buzzed near the gate. "Your name?"
"Aria Blake," Aria answered. "I'm here for the live-in maid job."
There was a short silence. Then the gate slowly opened, showing a long stone path with bushes and statues that looked like they belonged in a museum.
Aria turned to Lucy and hugged her tight. "Text me every morning and night, okay? And if anything happens, anything at all, call Mrs. Donnelly or me."
"Go," Lucy whispered. "You earned this."
Aria took a deep breath and walked into a world where she didn't feel like she belonged.
The Cross house looked even bigger up close. A three-story building made of glass and stone stood over her as she walked to the door. The marble steps were wet from the rain as she reached for the golden doorbell.
The door opened before she could touch it.
A tall, serious woman with gray hair in a bun looked at her with disapproval.
"You're late," the woman said. "You were expected twenty minutes ago."
"I'm sorry," Aria said quickly. "The bus..."
"No excuses."
The woman moved aside, letting Aria in.
"I'm Ms. Fletcher. House manager. You'll do what I say, not what the agency told you. Do you understand?"
Aria nodded. "Yes, ma'am."
The entrance hall was huge and echoed as she followed Ms. Fletcher across the shiny marble floor. Two bright chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and a curved staircase went up like something from a dream.
"Your work will be in the guest rooms on the second floor and the kitchens downstairs," Ms. Fletcher said quickly. "You won't go into any rooms you're not told to. You won't talk to guests unless they talk to you first. And you absolutely cannot go into the West Wing."
"The West Wing?" Aria asked.
Ms. Fletcher gave her a sharp look. "That's Mr. Cross's private area. The last girl who went too close was fired without a good reference."
Aria's stomach dropped. "Understood."
They passed a tall door made of dark wood, different from the others. It had black trim and no handle. It looked like a silent warning.
"Just do your jobs, keep your head down, and this will be easy."
Easy. Right.
Her room was small but clean. It had a bed, a dresser, and one lamp on a small desk. A closet held uniforms neatly inside. For someone who shared a small apartment with her sister, it felt like a fancy hotel.
She sat on the edge of the bed, letting the quiet settle in. She took out her phone and quickly texted Lucy:
Made it. This place is crazy. Will text you after dinner. Love you.
The reply came almost right away:
Send pics if you can! Eat something fancy! And sleep. You never sleep.
Aria smiled, then got up to unpack. She had no idea what was waiting for her in this house. But she had gotten through worse before.
Aria was unpacking her little suitcase, neatly folding her clothes into the dresser, when this faint noise broke the quiet of her room. It was a low, rhythmic creak, like footsteps on old wood, coming from right above her. She totally froze, her hands just hanging over a sweater. The creaking stopped, then started up again, sounding closer, like someone was walking around just past the thin walls of her room.
She looked at the door, kinda expecting Ms. Fletcher to burst in with another lecture. But the hallway outside was dead silent, and the chandeliers' light barely peeked under her door. The creaking got louder, and now there was this soft, barely-there whisper, like someone mumbling words she couldn't quite make out.
Aria's phone buzzed on the bed, making her jump. It was a text from some random number:
“Stay out of the West Wing. He's watching.”
Outside, the rain started hammeri
ng down harder, and the lights in her room flickered for a second, then went out completely, leaving her in total darkness.

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
A pack of their own

In despair, Sable left, reclaimed her true identity, and married her childhood neighbor—Lycan King Caelan, nine years her senior and her fated mate. Now Darrell desperately tries to win her back. How will her revenge unfold?

Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
