Introduction
He forgot her. She never forgot him.
The sound of waves triggered the memories of Leon. She remembered how he chased her, how he lifted her so easily while she was giggling and twisting in his arms.
A smile touched her lips, thinking about the day when he made love to her under the moonlight, covered in wet sand. They were young, wild, and free.
They were the past.
He is not here anymore and the ghost of his memories still haunts her. How would life be if he were here? But He will never come back.
Layla never intended to return to his world. Now fate is forcing them back together. When her daughter is dying and only one man has the bone marrow match that can save her, she has no choice. Zaley Raines. The city's most dangerous ruler. Cold. Untouchable. Lethal. And her daughter's only hope.
He agrees to help—but his eyes linger on her face like he's searching for something. Some buried memory. Some forgotten ghost. He doesn't recognize her.
But Layla knows exactly who he is. Leon. Her first love. Her daughter's father. The boy who promised to save her from despair. The man whose memories were stolen, rewritten, erased.
What he doesn't remember could destroy them both. Something about her pulls at him—familiar, consuming, his.
He wants answers. She can't give them.Not when the truth could shatter everything.
But when fragments of his past begin surfacing—flashes of a redhead in his arms, a promise written in sand, a love he doesn't remember losing—Zaley stops asking questions.
He starts taking answers.
And when he finally remembers?

Chapter 1
MONSOON THEN
LAYLA
He left her.
He left her.
He left her.
He promised he never would.
He wasn’t like her father. He wasn’t like her mother.
But maybe love is just another illusion.
She lay limp on the bed, clutching her phone like it could bring him back.
Maybe he’d burst through the door and say, “It’s all over now. We’re leaving this city. You, me… and our child.”
But he didn’t know. He never knew.
She never told him. She never got a chance.
So she texted.
Where are you?
I miss you.
I need you.
This isn’t funny anymore.
I love you.
Did you hear about what happened to me?
Is that why you’re not replying?
It’s okay if your feelings changed because of that. I’ll understand. I just need to explain.
Please, Leon. Don’t cut my voice. Please, hear me out.
Her thumb hovered before sending the final message.
God, this isn’t how I wanted to say it… I’m pregnant.
She waited. Two days. Nothing.
Another text, trembling fingers.
It’s yours.
It’s been a month since I knew. I’ll take a test, I’ll prove it. Please. I need you. I can’t sleep. I don’t know what to do.
All her messages were seen.
That tiny word gave her hope.
But no reply came.
And just like that, the little spark died before it could burn.
He left her. He knew what happened. And he left anyway.
She didn’t want to believe it. Maybe something happened to him—an accident, or worse.
But no. He was stronger than that. And he had read her messages.
He did this before, didn’t he?
He used to call her annoying. Left her on read many times. But he was always there with her when things got serious and ignored the silly complaints she always does.
But back then, it didn’t matter. They weren’t in love.
Her life wasn’t at stake.
Now it was.
For the last time, swallowing the humiliation, she typed again:
Have you ever loved me? Even once? When you said it—did you mean it?
The reply came instantly.
Two letters.
One word.
Two lives collapsing into silence.
NO.
And that was it.
Her last piece of hope cracked and fell apart.
Tears didn’t come. Not anymore.
Only anger.
Anger at him.
At the world.
At her parents.
At herself.
She promised never to hope again.
Never to trust again. Never to love again.
In this world, everything is a façade.

Nanny and Her Four Alpha Bullies
Heartsong
I looked strong, and my wolf was absolutely gorgeous.
I looked to where my sister is sitting and her and the rest of her posse have jealous fury on their faces. I then look up to where my parents are and they're glaring at my picture, if looks alone could set shit on fire.
I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start -- To fight, to prove, and not hide myself anymore.
This was going to be fun. I thought, a grin on my face.
This book ”Heartsong” contains two books “Werewolf’s Heartsong” and “Witch’s Heartsong”

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.
