Synopsis — Married by Midnight

Zoe Hart never intended to marry a billionaire; she struggles just to pay her rent, let alone a spontaneous marriage in Las Vegas. However, after a wild night filled with too much alcohol and surprising honesty, she wakes up with a pounding headache and hazy memories, only to discover she has a marriage certificate that ties her to Adrian King.

Adrian, the youngest tech mogul in his field, prides himself on maintaining control. Marriage was never on his agenda, especially not to a broke architecture student who possesses a sharp wit, captivating eyes, and zero tolerance to billionaire drama. Yet something about Zoe breaks through his polished world in a way he never saw coming.

When the footage of their wedding vows emerges, chaos follows. Adrian’s company faces a public scandal, Zoe's scholarship is at risk, and the media is relentless. Under intense public pressure, they strike a temporary agreement: remain married for a few months, strictly contractual.

However, living together in a penthouse under constant scrutiny, with staged public appearances, begins to blur the lines. Beyond the rehearsed smiles, genuine connections form—sharing laughter, heartfelt conversations, and unexpected closeness.

As their relationship grows deeper, danger closes in. Someone is determined on dismantling Adrian’s empire, and exposing their "fake" marriage could ruin them both. When sabotage strikes and the media turns ruthless, Zoe steps back to protect Adrian’s reputation.

It's then that Adrian realizes that success is actually nothing without her by his side.

Putting everything on the line, his company, his reputation, his entire life, he takes one last bold move to win her back.

Love was never part of their agreement.

Yet amid the bright light of Vegas and their shared moments, they discover a connection worth choosing.

Fresh out of college and fumbling through his first year in the real world, twenty-two-year-old Lysander wanders away from a friend’s party and into an isolated forest. There, he stumbles upon the high-tech laboratory hidden within the ancient castle of Vivienne—a vampire who has spent one century cultivating solitude. Disgusted by the intimacy required to hunt, she long ago withdrew from humanity, passing the endless decades perfecting homemade synthetic blood rather than sampling the countless varieties of plasma she grew tired of.

But Lysander’s arrival spells disaster. In a clumsy accident, he doesn't just ruin dinner; he obliterates her state-of-the-art scientific instruments. With her life’s work destroyed and her synthetic supply cut off, the scent of his living blood overwhelms her engineered senses. Forced to break a century-long abstinence, she takes what she needs, only to find herself addicted not just to his taste, but to the man himself.

Using the equipment as a flimsy excuse to lure him back, Vivienne battles a terrifying new obsession. She craves his body despite believing he’s taken, despising her own weakness. Meanwhile, Lysander’s initial terror curdles into a forbidden fascination. Can a relationship survive when one person feels everything, and the other only hungers?

Her husband, Roman, sold her body to monsters.
Her sister, Elsa, strapped a bomb to her chest and called it mercy.

But when Tasha opens her eyes again… it’s one year before everything fell apart.

The scars on her face are gone.
The lies haven’t yet been told.
And the people who destroyed her still think she’s naïve enough to love them.

This time, she’s fire wrapped in silk. She’ll smile while she rewrites her fate, kiss the man she once ignored, the rival who once died trying to save her and make her traitors choke on the ashes of their own cruelty.

He was furious, his heart shattered, demanding to know why.

I cupped his face and said calmly: "Because I don't love you."

The one I truly love is his dead brother.

Born to lead but denied her rightful place, the daughter of a slain Alpha is betrayed in the most brutal way. Stripped of her title because she bears the spirit of a Luna instead of an Alpha, she’s forced to watch her lover rise as Alpha—only to publicly humiliate and reject her, accusing her of treason in front of the entire pack and a council of visiting Alphas.

When hope flickers in the form of a second chance mate—a feared Alpha known for his cold heart—her world is shattered yet again by another cruel rejection. The pain is too much; her wolf vanishes, her soul breaks, and her life hangs by a thread.

Just when the executioner raises his weapon, the unexpected happens. The ruthless Alpha who had turned his back returns with chilling words: “Let her live. Death is too kind. She will suffer.”

Months pass, and what was once discarded becomes the object of desire. Now, Alphas wage war for the broken Luna they once overlooked. With her wolf gone and heart frozen, can she ever heal? Will the Moon Goddess grant her strength again—or love?

Dive into this gripping tale of betrayal, pain, power, and redemption.

"Don't lie to me," he growled saying each word slowly whilst pacing in front of the door.

"Ethan I."
