Introduction
A mansion in Westport, a successful husband, a beautiful daughter. Sixteen years of marriage that seemed unbreakable.
Until I found another woman's watch band in my husband's car.
Until I discovered that woman was my daughter's soccer coach.
Until I realized my nine-year-old daughter was helping her father lie to me.
Some betrayals strike like lightning. Others seep in like slow poison, until you discover your entire world is a lie.
When I stood on the platform at our annual community barbecue, armed with evidence and burning with rage, I understood a truth that would have destroyed the woman I used to be:
Sometimes the only way to save your family is to destroy it first.
Chapter 1
I was preparing blueberry pancakes and orange juice for my nine-year-old daughter Sophia.
The perfect kitchen. The perfect breakfast. The perfect family.
I remembered three months ago, when my usually obedient Sophia suddenly cried and screamed that she wanted to learn soccer.
When I said no, she went on a hunger strike.
Even stranger, she specifically requested Amy as her coach from the community center.
I had no choice but to agree.
"Mommy makes the best pancakes in the world!" Sophia exclaimed, swinging her legs excitedly.
I smiled.
Footsteps echoed down the stairs. Tom rushed down, adjusting his tie while checking his phone.
"Sorry babe, I have to handle the Peterson deal today. I'll be late to Sophia's game."
I frowned.
Peterson again.
For the past three months, Tom had "emergencies" almost every weekend.
All related to Peterson.
"You know how business is." Tom kissed my forehead, then grabbed his car keys.
That kiss felt mechanical.
Like completing a task.
Sophia suddenly put down her fork. "It's okay! Amy Coach said she arranged special training just for me!"
When she mentioned Amy, her face lit up with a brilliant smile.
A smile I hadn't seen on her face in a long time.
At least not when looking at me.
When did my daughter start depending more on a coach she'd known for three months than on her mother?
At the soccer field, luxury SUVs filled the parking spaces along the green field, soccer moms gathered around their folding chairs.
Here we go again.
I had to play the role of the successful real estate developer's wife.
I plastered on my signature smile and walked toward the other mothers.
"Your Tom is really something in the real estate world!" Lisa said.
I forced enthusiasm: "He's been so busy lately, sometimes I barely see him."
The moment the words left my mouth, I realized I had started unconsciously complaining about Tom to others.
When did that start?
When did I become a nagging wife who complains about her husband?
"Sophia is such a natural athlete!"
Coach Amy walked over—28 years old, golden ponytail, tight athletic wear highlighting her perfect figure.
This was everything I used to have, before I gave up my career to return to family life.
"She must have inherited it from her father's side." Amy's smile seemed unnatural, her cheeks slightly flushed, her voice trembling when mentioning Tom.
Sensing the intimacy in her tone when she mentioned Tom, I instinctively felt something was wrong.
When the game started, all my attention focused on observing Amy.
On the field, Sophia got the ball, beautifully dodged the defender, and scored with one shot!
She jumped up excitedly, and I instinctively stood up, ready to welcome her embrace.
But she ran straight to Coach Amy and hugged her tightly.
I froze there, slowly sitting back down.
When did I stop being the first person she wanted to share her joy with?
"Sophia, who taught you that move? It was so perfect!" a teammate asked curiously.
"My daddy taught me!" Sophia said proudly.
"Tom really is talented. He was on the school team in high school." Amy said with a smile, her tone carrying a familiar intimacy.
How did she know Tom played soccer in high school?
When did they chat about these things?
Unease clawed at my throat like talons.
"Mommy, can we invite Coach Amy to have dinner at our house next time?" Sophia ran over, eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Something felt wrong.
But seeing my daughter's eager eyes, I still nodded.
"Of course, sweetheart."
My phone lit up—it was the "Soccer Moms" group chat.
The first message I saw made my blood freeze instantly.
【Lisa: Tom went to Amy's apartment again last night? They really need to be more careful, Jennifer's not stupid】
【Sara: Oh my God, Lisa. Jennifer's in this group, you sent it to the wrong chat, delete it quickly】
Lisa quickly recalled a message.
But it was too late.
My hands started shaking.
Last night. Tom said Peterson had another emergency meeting, that he needed to work late at the downtown office.
So he went to Amy's apartment.
The other mothers all knew. They knew where my husband spent the night, only I, his wife, didn't know.
How long had I been pitied behind my back by these women?
My trembling fingers clicked on Amy's social media.
The latest post was from last night.
【Perfect Friday night with my favorite person.】
The photo showed Amy lying on a bed in a sexy slip dress, a man's hand resting on her slender waist.
And the owner of that hand was my husband Tom, married to me for sixteen years.
I stared at the screen, my hands shaking violently, my breathing becoming rapid.
My phone slipped from my trembling hands.
I couldn't believe this was happening to me.
I remembered meeting Tom for the first time in the university library.
He picked up my dropped book and shyly asked if he could buy me coffee.
I remembered when he proposed, so nervous he could barely speak, almost dropping the ring.
I remembered our first year of marriage, eating instant noodles in our shabby little apartment, thinking it was the most romantic dinner in the world.
Because we loved each other.
But all those sweet memories became the cruelest irony in this moment.
Sixteen years.
A full sixteen years of marriage, and this is how I discovered my husband's affair.
"Mommy, you don't look good. Are you okay?" Sophia asked.
My voice trembled: "Just tired, sweetheart. Let's go home."
I had been living in lies, playing the perfect wife, while my entire life crumbled around me.
My dearest daughter—did she know? Was she helping them too? Those innocent dinner invitations, those special training sessions...
This realization hit me like lightning: I wasn't just losing my husband, I might lose my daughter too.
Sixteen years of marriage, ending on a Saturday afternoon.
And I was the last to know.

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.
Bella and Her Beast
.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
Bound by Vengeance
Then there is Xavier Romano. Cold and calculating, he revels in his dominance, finding satisfaction in the terror he instills and the power he wields. But his iron control shatters when he crosses paths with Eloisa. Her unpredictability, her unapologetic desire for vengeance, and her allure are irresistible—and dangerous. As they collide in a world where betrayal is constant and alliances are fragile, passion ignites between them, each step drawing them deeper into a forbidden obsession that neither can control. In a life defined by violence and survival, will their dangerous game be their undoing, or will it make them unstoppable?
My Perverse: You're mine, you son of a bitch
Vincenzo Valentini is a man who sees the world as a business counter and human beings as merchandise.
The owner of an empire built upon corpses and submission, he is the reflection of pure perversity.
When fate places Andrew Thompson, the son of his greatest rival, into his hands, the plan was simple: use him, break him, and discard him like a toy that has lost its appeal.
What Vincenzo did not expect was that, beneath the youthful skin and the appearance of innocence, Andrew hid the same abyss as he did.
Vincenzo never wanted redemption. He never wanted someone to save him from his own darkness. He was seeking a mirror. And in Andrew, he found the partner who, upon seeing his blood-stained hands, does not recoil in terror, but trembles with desire.
In this perverse game, the "little toy" proves to be the perfect executioner. The mafia leader found someone who not only accepts his cruel side but cultivates it, feeding the monster Vincenzo has always been.
Where there should have been fear, lust emerged. Where there should have been hatred, a perverse loyalty was born. Andrew Thompson is the dark reflection of Vincenzo, the soldier the underworld did not see coming, and the man who proved that, for some, paradise only makes sense if it is in the middle of chaos.
Vincenzo opened the doors to his empire, but Andrew was the only one capable of invading his heart.
They are not heroes. They are hell on earth.
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.
