Introduction
Chapter 1
"I can't believe it," I say avoiding letting go of the tears that have already accumulated in my eyes.
"Laura, baby, please, I didn't mean...”
"Now you're going to tell me you didn't want to sleep with her?!" I interrupt him, already screaming with tears running down my cheeks.
In my words there is only a feeling of anger, anger that grew more and more.
"Seriously, love, seriously, I didn't mean..." He looks at me with a pleading look in his eyes, but I'm not willing to forgive this.
“This is where it ends, Gareth.” He resigns himself “Goodbye.”
And I leave his house as fast as my feet will carry me, visualize my car and head towards it.
I start to drive home, as I do so my mind can only think of the last few months with Gareth.
To think that two years of relationship went to waste in less than twenty minutes.
All because of an infidelity that in no way do I intend to forgive.
I hear the sound of my cell phone indicating that I am receiving a call, I look at the screen and my sister's name appears on it.
“Hi Liliam, what's up?” I ask when picking up.
"Hello Liliam? Oh really?” She's a little upset, and I don't blame her, she just gave birth to her first daughter and that has her a little stressed “dad is angry, he says that if you don't arrive before the man he invited home does going to...”
“Shit! I forgot, but I'm coming, tell him not to worry” I say quickly, cutting off the communication and drying my face.
It was only a block away to get home. Dad had told us that a man would arrive today who wanted to invest in one of the companies, and that he had invited him over, since the man lived in Los Angeles, and he had no intention of traveling, his second daughter had just given birth to birth to her third granddaughter.
Apparently dad's future partner is very interested in doing business with him, since he did not oppose or object to traveling from Los Angeles to New York.
When I get home I park the car and get out of it, when I open the door the first thing I see are two brown hair running towards me.
“Aunt!” Amanda says, stretching out the A. "I missed you." Amanda is the second daughter of Alexandre, my older brother, she is only two years old.
“But it was only a few minutes, little one” I say trying to hide the sadness in my voice, while I take her in my arms and leave many kisses on her face.
“But we still miss you, aunt” says Liam, he is my brother's eldest son, and also my father's eldest grandson, he is four years old, he is also very cute, I am sure that when he grows up he will be a heartbreaker.
"Where were you, Laura?" My father looks at me with a stern expression on his face.
“Sorry dad, I forgot, but I'm here.” I say advancing towards him and depositing a kiss on his cheek.
He Smiled.
“It's fine little one, but go get ready quickly, Mr. Smith will be here in a few minutes. Give me this little princess, I'll take her to her parents.”
“Ok dad.” He murmured as he left Amanda in her arms and I watched him leave with Liam, following in his footsteps.
When I go up the stairs I go through the corridor where my room is located, which is next to my sister's, when I pass through the front I hear little Sarah crying.
For only a week to live, she cries very hard.
I decide to ask if he needs help and I knock twice on the door, immediately Leandro. My sister's husband and Sarah's father appears behind her with a tired expression on her face.
"Oh! Laura, can I help you with something?”
“I ask the same thing, Leandro, do you want me to help you?”
“Yeah!” Liliam yells from inside “ Please, little sister, take Sarah, while we prepare for lunch, we're tired” She looks at me with a pleading face, I nod and she hands me the baby who is wearing bunny pajamas, she looks so tender.
I leave Liliam's room and go to my own, when I enter I leave Sarah, who strangely hasn't cried in the bed surrounded by pillows, and I go into the bathroom to shower.
When I go out I see the sleeping baby. I go into the closet and dress myself in a tight dress on top and a loose blue skirt, I leave my light brown hair loose and I do makeup that highlights my green eyes, at the end I put on black heels and that's it.
“Laura, dad tells you to come down quickly” Says my sister entering my room “Oh my God! You put her to sleep! Sister I love you!” She says when she sees her daughter asleep in my bed, I just laugh and deny while I get up and she takes the baby.
We walk out of the room together, Liliam stopping in her room to put Sarah down in her crib and running out.
"Come on, dad must be mad," she says and takes my hand.
Upon reaching the ground floor we find Alexandre.
“Hurry up, Smith just entered the dining room.” He says with a frown.
We enter the dining room together, and everyone is seated, so in silence we rush to do the same.
"Excuse my daughters' tardiness, Mr. Smith."
My eyes widened at the sight of the man in front of me. I watched him from head to toe and my heart raced so much I was afraid they might hear the beat.

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.
Asher is a Navy veteran with battle scars and zero patience. He calls me "princess" like it's an insult. I can't stand him.
When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
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 Devil’s Contract: Kiss Me Like A Lie
The air in the ballroom was suffocating, filled with the scent of expensive wine and predatory Alphas. I felt the familiar, terrifying burn start low in my stomach. My suppressants were failing. I am an Omega pretending to be a Beta, and my fiancé, Reign Montgomery, is a powerful Enigma who believes Omegas are nothing but weak whores.
I rushed to the restroom, locking myself in, praying the scent wouldn't leak. My hands shook as I dialed for help, but the door handle turned. Reign stood there. He didn't look at my face; he grabbed my wrist, pulling it to his nose, inhaling deeply. His dark, soulless eyes bore into mine. "You smell different," he whispered, his voice dangerously low. If he finds out what I really am, I’m dead.
Reign Montgomery promised himself he’d never get involved with an omega. Not romantically, not physically, not even by accident. He doesn’t trust them, doesn’t want them, and refuses to let anyone become a weakness.
Soren Fox has lived his whole life making sure no one ever learns what he truly is. An omega pretending to be a Beta, fighting in underground rings just to survive and keep his sister alive.
But one contract drags them into a dangerous partnership of lies, heat, and power, and when Soren is kidnapped, Reign realizes too late that the omega he never wanted has become the one person he can’t live without.

My boyfriend skipped our anniversary for her—the girl who called me a whore.
He left me walking home in the dark. When my apartment caught fire, he ignored my calls.
But his uncle showed up.
The one with the scarred knuckles and the cop badge. The one who looked at me like he wanted to burn the world down for me—or maybe burn me down instead.
Now, we live under the same roof. Three people. One bed too close.
Every time my boyfriend touches me, I flinch. Every time his uncle looks at me, I burn.
He's dangerous. He's forbidden. He's everything I shouldn't want.
Is he saving me... or does he just want to own me?
Some fires don't just burn. They consume.

I am the surgical prodigy saving lives that science deems hopeless. I am the muse of the art world. I am the true heir to a dynasty they couldn't even dream of.

The Rejected White Luna
"No... You can't do that."
Those words shattered Aria's world in front of the entire pack.
As the daughter of the Alpha of Silver Moon Pack, Aria was born with a powerful legacy. But with a weak wolf that could never shift, she became a disappointment in the eyes of her own people. She was mocked, ignored, and treated as a weakness instead of the future Luna she was meant to be.
She believed finding her fated mate would finally change everything.
Until Kael rejected her publicly and chose another.

Broken but refusing to surrender, Aria leaves the only home she has ever known. But fate has a different plan waiting for her.
When she crosses paths with another powerful pack, Aria discovers a shocking truth: she has been given a second chance mate. The only problem? She never expected him to be someone who could change her entire destiny.

Now she has the chance to make those who hurt her pay.

Will Aria choose revenge, or will she find a love greater than the betrayal that destroyed her?
