He was my father's best friend and my legal guardian. I mistook his obsessive control for protection—until the night of my eighteenth birthday, when he shattered that illusion in his study. For eight long years, I lived a double life: his pure, adopted daughter by day, and his dirty little secret by night.
I thought it was love. Then today, a Wall Street alert announced his engagement to a media h...

A stormy night. A broke barista. One rescued Golden Retriever that cost Winter her last penny.

Plot twist: the dog belongs to Hollywood heartthrob Dylan Carter.

"Hand over my dog!" he demands, but the Golden Retriever won't budge from Winter's side, whimpering at its own master like a heartbroken child.

Then comes the curveball—$10K a month to live in his Malibu mansion as the dog's personal ca...

On my wedding night, my husband Tyler pushed me onto the poker table as his final bet.

"She's just a retard anyway—perfect for getting rid of a problem," he sneered.

That moment, I thought my life was completely over.

Until the man in the delivery uniform won me, gently called me "princess," and filled his tiny apartment with pink dresses just for me.

I thought I'd found a kind, poor guy.

I t...

Rule one: never love your stepbrother. Rule two: never trust a bad boy. I broke both.
The day Carter traded up and called me a "disgusting mistake," Liam—the most dangerous guy in school—knelt in the rubble of my life. "Want to make him pay?" he murmured, his grip firm on my chin. "I'll show you how."
It was supposed to be a game. But his lessons came with a secret: he'd been claiming me since the...

I faked amnesia to fool him. He turned around and claimed to be my boyfriend. I moved into his place to dig up dirt, only to find his secret notebook filled with everything about me. I thought it was a secret crush, until I discovered it was tied to a grudge between our fathers. Right after we confessed everything with a kiss, an "accident" made him forget me for real. Now, it's my turn to make hi...

I almost gave up admission to a top-15 university for my childhood sweetheart Brent, fantasizing he would finally confess his love.

Until that afternoon when I overheard him telling his friend dismissively: "Without me, she's nothing."

Turns out I could never compete with Sienna, the blonde beauty who transferred here three months ago. Turns out he chose Michigan State because the pretty girl ne...

I woke up in his tent thinking I'd finally gotten everything I'd ever dreamed of.

Six years. Six entire years of making myself into whoever Noah wanted me to be, giving up my UCLA full-ride scholarship, planning to follow him to Boston, convincing myself this was what "love" looked like.

Until I accidentally saw the messages on the iPad.

"Had to get it done before school starts."
"Jade's my tra...

Five years ago at the coming-of-age ceremony, Alpha Prince Ethan and I both "failed"—neither of us awakened our wolves. Since then, I've been the Beta family's defect, and he's been the worthless prince abandoned by the Council.

Until that rainy night when he collapsed at my café door, bleeding.

"I had nowhere else to go."

I let him stay. But on one condition—he works for me, wears my "Moonbean...

They say unrequited love hurts the most.

They have no idea.

Ten years. Ten years of stealing glances at Caspian Brooks across training pools, memorizing the way his eyes crinkled when he laughed, treasuring every casual touch like it was made of gold. Ten years of pretending friendship was enough while my heart bled every time he looked through me like I was invisible.

I thought if I was good e...

For nine years, I loved Jake, heir to the Steel Knights MC, like a fool—until I saw him tangled up with my own cousin in the garage… while she was carrying his child. They laughed at me, called me "just a mechanic," treated me like their loyal dog. But I'll show them—the most underestimated roses grow the sharpest thorns. From Texas to California, from a cast-out nobody to the underground racing q...

I woke up with a hangover, only to find I'd gone from a college girl to the revered "Luna" of a werewolf pack—complete with a handsome Alpha husband and a five-year-old son I'd never met. The catch? I'd lost eight years of memories. In my mind, my human boyfriend had just proposed last night.
Now my own son is afraid of me, my "husband" looks at me with heartbreak in his eyes, and my so-called "tr...

What? She married a wrong guy? It wasn’t the person who was going to marry her but someone else?
After the death of her boyfriend, her family sold her off, in the name of marriage, to the wealthiest family of the city in order to pay back their debts. The condition was: She has to give birth to the Reynolds’ family’s heir within a year!
Sienna Millar always thought that, she replaced her sister ...

They say I should just accept my fate. At thirty-one, I'm a walking cliché: a failed career, endless disastrous blind dates. My life was going nowhere—until I discovered a secret that let me communicate with the past. I found a way to save the boy who died for me when we were seventeen.
But this second chance comes with a cruel condition: to rewrite history and keep him alive, I must make him fall...

Then everything got messy. Zephyr started hovering, those intense eyes studying me as h...

I clutched the diagnosis paper that read "Stage 4 Gastric Cancer," my knuckles turning white. For twenty-two years, no matter how bad things got, Ethan always said he could handle it. But this time, my call only reached his voicemail.

I still remember that snowy night when I was seventeen. Under that tree, he squeezed my hand and promised, "You don't have to be strong anymore. Just lean on me." H...

Eight years in that basement, and I can still smell the mold. Eight years of chains, beatings, and guards who treated me like an animal. The only kindness came from Damian—slipping me bread crusts and whispering, "Hang in there, Grace. I've got you."
I shot him when I escaped. Left him bleeding on that concrete floor without a backward glance. I had to. I was finally free, finally Grace again inst...

Three chances I had to travel back and save my grandmother. Three times I failed, and each failure was worse than the last.

Now I've returned for the last time. I carry the weight of eight years and the cold steel of a blade. T...

My marriage died the day I walked in on my husband jerking off to my stepsister's underwear.
I blamed myself—thought I'd failed him somehow. Then he destroyed everything: my belongings, my keepsakes, even my dead mother's jewelry. That's when the truth hit me like a freight train: the real sin wasn't what I'd done. It was simply not being loved.
I filed for divorce. They all looked... excited. Eag...

On my wedding day, I found another woman's sexy lace bra in my husband's car, with semen still on it...

I was the most pathetic existence on campus.

Thick glasses, baggy sweaters, walking through the cafeteria like crossing a minefield. Albert, my childhood crush of three years, publicly mocked me as "a pathetic little dog following him around." Campus queen Madison crushed me under her heel. That rainy night, I gave up completely and swore to make them all pay.

Three months later, I returned.

When I was twenty, Samuel called off our engagement and chose Stella instead.

After the engagement party ended, he told me: "Stella saved my life once. Now her father wants to marry her off to that disgusting old man Harrison Burke. I can't just stand by and watch."

He said to give him three years to repay his debt of gratitude, and after three years he would come back to me.

Like a fool, I wai...

As an Omega, Stella suffers from a rare condition called frequent heat syndrome, enduring burning desire every week. But her boyfriend Alexander grows increasingly cold, preferring to "study" with the scheming Madison until late at night rather than help ease her suffering.

When another heat cycle arrives and Alexander abandons her once again, Stella finally breaks down. She turns her attention t...

I used to think I was living the perfect life. I had my career as a strategic planner that was respected across the region. I had Kai, my fiancé who I'd loved since we were kids. I even daydreamed about the pups we'd have someday, little ones running around the pack house with his eyes and my stubbornness.

But that was all bullshit.

One conversation I wasn't supposed to hear changed everything. ...

The two loves of my life—one died because of him, the other wishes me dead. My seven-year-old daughter only wanted to make a lamp for her "afraid-of-the-dark" daddy, but died from electrocution instead. She'll never know that her father was using this very opportunity to plan a new life with his mistress. When I held my terminal diagnosis in my hands, I cried silently. Look, Patty—Mommy will be co...

I died once, watching him leap to his death for me.

Reborn three years in the past, I decided to completely change the rules of the game.

"I'm going to marry Parker Ashford!" I declared publicly at his birthday party, ignoring everyone's shocked stares.

"You're insane? I'm a cripple..." He tried to push me away, but I wouldn't let him.

I climbed through his bathroom window, seeing him at his m...

For eight years, he's been my Don—my guardian—giving me everything but love. I throw myself into another guy's arms for a kiss on purpose, just to watch the rage ignite in his eyes. Would a guardian really shake with fury over his ward's kiss?

At my eighteenth birthday party, I blurt out "I love you" in front of everyone, but he crushes my eight-year fixation with two brutal words: "Disgusting."
...

On my 25th birthday, the doctor handed me my death sentence—stage four pancreatic cancer, six months to live. The man I’d loved for seventeen years was flirting with his secretary while I coughed up blood and collapsed. He mocked me when chemo took my hair: “Even your hair is fake.” When I secretly transferred my last savings into his sports recovery fund—the very money that could’ve saved me—he t...

As the Helix-7 virus devours our world, its 95% mortality rate suffocates me. Being the chief geneticist hasn't spared me from the crushing weight of desperation—I was inches from breaking until that blood-tinged howl echoed through the forest. There, I stumbled upon a black wolf standing four feet at the shoulder, its blood tests revealing something impossible: 100% immunity.

Then before my eyes...

"Reject me, Dante. I don’t want this.”
His grip tightened. “You can’t run from fate, Aria. You’ve always been mine.”

Aria always believed her heart belonged to Damien, her childhood sweetheart. But to her parents, Damien was nothing more than a weak omega. And her destiny is rewritten in a reckless night with Dante Blackwood—Damien’s cousin, a dangerously posseive Alpha.

Now, the Moon Goddess ...

“You’ll move in with me and your sister will be taken care of. You'll tell your sister that I'm your new boss.” He spelled out.

“You'll wait for me every night on my bed so I can fuck you mercilessly for making me set my eyes on you after seven years. I hate you. You have no fucking idea.”

I wanted to sob. It was fucking over. I am giving the next three years of my life to this man, just so I co...

I thought I would spend my whole life hiding behind a mask, until I read his words in Vogue: "The most beautiful faces aren't about perfection, but the light of the soul." Wasn't he talking about me?
Seven years ago, he was the gentle boy next door, and I was the scarred girl who hated her reflection.
Now, he's an internationally renowned photographer, and I'm still just a makeup artist painting...

I thought that after twenty years with the Sterlings—even as an adopted child—I'd at least count as family. But the day they found their biological daughter Victoria, they announced they were throwing me out and planned to humiliate me at the family gathering. Based on what right?

Even more disgusting was how my almost-fiancé Blake immediately started fooling around with Victoria, eager to watch ...

My name is Evangeline Rosemont, but please, just call me Evie.

Yes, that Rosemont—heir to a fifteen-billion-dollar sports empire that owns four NFL teams. But at Texas State University, I'm just another scholarship cheerleader living in the cheapest dorm, working at a campus coffee shop, and pretending to stress about my Target budget.

Until my roommate Sienna starts getting suspicious.
