I don't know why he fell for a plain girl like me but all I know is that he loves me and I am lucky to have him. But is that all? What if she returns? Can a man be trusted?

Brianna walked towards him obediently. Seeing how stiff and hesitant she moved, Scott was displeased. "What? Are you a robot? Don't you know what your job is?"

"Yes. To please you," Brianna answered awkwardly, "But... but we know little about each other and... and we don't have feelings towards each other as well…"

"What are you talking about? You are merely my possession." Scott said coldly as he slid his finger from her lips down her neck towards her collarbone. Brianna felt his finger moving downwards and resting on her right breast.

She bit her lips and said, "Mr. Anderson, I'm just a common girl to you compared to those that you have met. I don't think I'm good enough to please you."

"Whether you are good enough or not is up to me. Also, why would I look for others since I have got one here that I've paid for?" Scott said in a cold voice.

Amelia Hartley never planned to be someone’s headline, especially not his.

She prefers facts, deadlines, and stories with proof. Fake dating a campus heartbreaker? Not a chance. Especially not Nathan Miller, Fairview University’s hockey captain, notorious bad boy, and constant tabloid favorite.

But when a journalism assignment throws them together, one impulsive public claim turns Amelia into Nathan’s fake girlfriend and drags her into a world of cameras, jealous exes, and rumors powerful enough to end his shot at going pro. The deal is simple: pretend, redeem his broken image, and make her ex regret everything.

The problem? Nathan took things too far, he forgot the rules and fell in love first.

He shows up at her dorm and classes, walks and defends her without hesitation. Looks at her like she’s the only thing that matters. And when a devastating accusation threatens his career, Amelia starts digging, only to uncover truths that change how she sees Nathan, and how deeply she’s already fallen.

Because fake dating was never meant to feel real.
And love was never supposed to hurt like this.

Valeria Whitmore had it all—perfect grades, a flawless reputation, and a boyfriend the school admired. Until one night ruined everything.

A humiliating video of her spreads across the entire school, turning her into their favorite scandal. Betrayed by the two people she trusted most, Valeria refuses to break in front of them. Instead, she flips the narrative and does something reckless.

She kisses Zayne Hayes. The quiet, brooding scholarship student everyone whispers about—the boy who hides behind hoodies and keeps his distance. What begins as a desperate act soon turns into a fake dating deal.

Just when fake starts to feel dangerously real, a new transfer student enters the picture. Rowan Ashford, the son of the school’s owner, who has had his eyes on her long before he transferred. And unlike Zayne, he has no intention of watching from the sidelines.

As secrets resurface and feelings become impossible to ignore, Valeria finds herself trapped between two rivals with a history of their own—both willing to break rules, start wars, and risk everything for her.
In a game that started as revenge, Valeria must decide who she can trust before her heart becomes the next thing shattered.

In a city owned by the Four Families, Constable Paix Hanger has advanced as high as he can.

A boy who's a reminder of the son he might never have disappears and those who look for him begin dying. When the incompetent and corrupt detectives assigned to the case are unable or unwilling to act, Constable Hanger takes matters into his own hands. This companion story takes place during the same time frame as The Jacq of Spades: Part 1 of the Red Dog Conspiracy.

Natalie swore she would never come back to Blackwood Ridge.
Not after the memories. Not after the abandonment. And definitely not after the mother who chose ambition over her own daughter.

But when her estranged mother—now the powerful CFO of Sterling Crest Bank—asks her to return home for the summer, Natalie reluctantly agrees. Years ago, after her parents divorced, Natalie left town with her father and never looked back. While her mother built a new life with a wealthy husband and a stepson Natalie has never met, Natalie spent years trying to bury the hurt that small town left behind.

From the moment she arrives, Blackwood Ridge feels suffocating. The whispers, the memories, the people who still remember her family’s scandal—it all makes Natalie desperate to escape. So when an old acquaintance drags her to a local frat party on her very first night back, she throws caution aside and drinks far too much.

The night should’ve ended in disaster.

Instead, a mysterious stranger pulls her out before things spiral completely out of control. He had striking heterochromia—one eye a vivid emerald green, the other an icy ocean blue. The contrast was sharp and almost hypnotic. He takes care of her when no one else does. But when Natalie wakes up the next morning tangled in his sheets with almost no memory of the night before, panic sets in. Certain she made a terrible mistake, she prepares for the worst.

What she doesn’t expect is him.

Cold, guarded, and hiding secrets of his own, the last thing he wants is Natalie disrupting the carefully controlled life he’s built. Yet the more they collide, the more impossible it becomes to stay away from each other.

Our deal was strictly professional: his hands on me for the cameras, my lips on him for revenge.
I'm Olivia Carter, the twin my ex left to marry my sister. He chose perfection. So for his wedding, I'm choosing Rowan Parker—the NHL's most notorious ice captain. He gets a temporary shield from puck bunnies until playoffs. I get a living, breathing weapon to ruin the reception.
The contract is clear: no feelings, and no forgetting the love letters he once wrote her.
Our performance is flawless. Every public touch is a calculated strike. Every late-night strategy session blurs the lines we swore to keep. He's looking at me like I'm real, and I'm starting to forget the word pretend.
This was supposed to be a transaction. A masterpiece of revenge.
Now the only thing at risk of shattering is me.

Madeline Quinn was supposed to spend the summer tracking whales—not falling for the two rugged, infuriating brothers who run the research boat.

Jake is steady and silent. Reid is sharp and impossible. They’re both off-limits.

And yet… the deeper she goes, the harder it is to come up for air.


“You should’ve stayed on the boat,” Jake said, voice quiet but firm.

“I’m not made of glass,” she snapped.

Reid pushed off the wall with one boot. “No, you’re made of trouble.”

“Reid—” Jake warned without looking at him.

“What?” Reid said with a shrug, moving a step closer. “Look at her. She knows what she’s doing.”

Madeline lifted her chin. “And what exactly am I doing?”

“Turning this into something dangerous,” Reid said, almost too calmly. His eyes didn’t waver.

Jake finally looked at her. “It already is.”

She swallowed. Her pulse thudded in her throat.

“You think I don’t feel it too?”

Reid’s lips twitched like he almost smiled. “Oh, she feels it.”
He stepped closer—just enough to make her catch her breath.
“But I don’t think she knows what to do with it.”

Jake stood now, his movements slower, more deliberate. “That’s enough.”

“No,” Madeline said, softer now. “He’s right. I don’t know what this is. With either of you.”

Reid’s voice dropped. “Then let us show you.”

A long silence. The kind that doesn’t feel empty—just heavy.

Jake’s gaze didn’t waver. “Together.”

Her breath hitched. Rain hit the windows. Her towel slipped an inch lower on her shoulder.

“God help me,” she whispered.

Being dumped by my mate, Ethan, on my dream New Year cruise tour was bad enough. Watching him swap spit with Vanessa? Absolute hell.
Enter Lucas—the cocky, sinfully hot hockey Alpha—who claims I’m his mate. But he doesn’t want love; he wants revenge, proposing a fake relationship to rile Ethan. Now I’m stuck sharing a suite with the guy who has secrets of his own. Christmas and New Year on a luxury ship was supposed to be magical…not a steamy, chaotic mess. What could go wrong?

“You chose them over me,” Jules whispered, her voice breaking as Adrian walked away, “and now I’m paying for both our choices.”
The bro code was simple: teammates don't touch each other's sisters.

Jules Rowan broke it anyway. Adrian Cross was supposed to be her brother's best friend, not hers. The brooding transfer student with eyes and secrets carved into his skin. He was off-limits in every way that mattered.

But Jules was tired of being the perfect coach's daughter, so she pursued him. Seduced him and made him break every rule for her.

One stolen kiss in the equipment room changed everything.

Now her father won't speak her name, her brother wants Adrian's blood, and the entire campus treats her like a disease. She's broke, homeless, and friendless—the girl who destroyed a championship team for selfish love.

But the cruelest cut isn't the public humiliation or family abandonment. It's watching Adrian look at her like she's his biggest regret.

They say she's getting what she deserves for breaking the bro code.

Maybe they're right.

But some hearts are worth burning down the world for—even if you're the only one left standing in the ashes.

She has no magic. He has too much. Their fake relationship is the only thing keeping them alive.

Sabrina Pendleton is a Null—born into a powerful witch coven but possessing zero magical ability. Her only weapons are relentless discipline, sports analytics, and the captaincy of Silverlake Prep's basketball team. But when her uncle decrees she'll be forced into an arranged magical marriage on the winter solstice, no amount of strategy can save her.

Until she witnesses Jace Harrington shatter a backboard with hellfire.

Jace is the golden boy of boys' basketball and a secret cambion—half-demon prince of the syndicate controlling the city's underworld. His temper crackles with black flame, and the corporate scouts offering him a multimillion-dollar NIL contract don't believe in demons. They believe in bad investments.

Sabrina offers a transaction: she'll play the wholesome girlfriend to secure his image. In return, dating the town's most famous athlete creates a media shield so bright her coven can't make her disappear. The rules are simple. The feelings are supposed to be fake.

But when they discover their families are conspiring together—a demonic rite and a magical binding set to trigger on the same night, during the televised state championship—their transaction becomes a trap. And if Sabrina can't pull Jace back from the edge, the boy she pretended to love will become the monster that destroys her.

My boyfriend of eight years didn’t just leave me.
He left me for my sister.

And then suddenly, they were getting married. I hate being seen as the weakling, the ugly one. So I did what I could.

I made an offer to Liam Carter —my Highschool Bully when we met in Tuscany.

The last person I ever wanted to owe anything to.

We pretend to date for the summer, to make everyone believe I’ve moved on and in return I help with his PR stunt.

It was supposed to be fake.

No feelings. No strings.

Just a deal between enemies with something to prove.

But the more we pretend, the more the lines blur—and suddenly, the boy who once made my life miserable might be the only one who truly sees me.

And the worst part?

I think I’m starting to fall for him.

When your ex, a hockey player, begged for your forgiveness in front of everyone, making a scene,
You were both awkward and angry as the team erupted into a chorus of gossip.
Just when you were speechless and didn’t know what to do,
The famous hockey captain raised his voice and said,
“Enough. She is mine.”

Daphne had always known that it’ll be hard to be in a relationship with Griffin Reyes,the future brother-in-law of her ex.She didn’t want to be connected to her ex in any way. But Griffin is madly attracted to her and she soon falls under his charms.She let herself believe that she has finally found the one until his first love returns and he ditches her without a second thought. When their past crosses again and she has someone else by her side now,it’s only then Griffin realizes that he doesn’t want her to be with anyone but him. Winning her back wouldn’t be as easy as he anticipated.

The first thing you should know about me? I’m technically a witch. But if you ask my family, that means I’m supposed to be the perfect little spell-slinger: dutifully attend their weird rituals, work at the family business, marry some pre-approved magical dude, and crank out a few adorable witch babies to keep the bloodline alive. Spoiler alert: that’s not happening.

Instead, I’ve mastered the art of avoiding the magical world. My strategy? Hide behind my computer screens and steer clear of all the drama. It mostly works—until the office jerk, who also happens to be a mind reader, decides to nose his way into my carefully constructed peace. Then he turns up half-dead at work, and suddenly, I’m knee-deep in magical messes I never signed up for.

Now, the annoying mind-reading jackass is convinced his problems are my problems, missing bodies are piling up, and both our families are tangled in this supernatural disaster. All I wanted was to play video games, hang out with my cat, and pretend the magical world didn’t exist. Instead, I’m stuck playing amateur detective, dealing with meddling relatives, and navigating way too much forced time with a man who’s equal parts aggravating and…okay, maybe slightly intriguing.

This? This is why I don’t date.

"It's not compensating. It's lagging," I said, my grease-stained hands resting on my hips as I corrected the most arrogant, untouchable F1 racer on my very first day.
Silence fell over the elite mechanical training facility. Every perfectly polished student turned to stare at me—the charity case from the slums. But Carlos Santiago didn't just stare. His sharp, assessing gaze landed on me like a physical weight. "And who are you to correct me?" he demanded, stepping closer until the scent of expensive cologne and burning rubber surrounded me.

I didn't back down. I knew engines better than I knew people. "I wasn't correcting you. I was fixing the problem," I shot back. He was perfect—ash brown hair, thick lashes, and a jawline that belonged on a billboard. But he was also completely wrong about the calibration. I reached past him, my knuckles brushing his pristine racing suit, and adjusted the valve. The engine instantly purred to life. Flawless.

His eyes darkened. He hated losing control. He stepped into my space, trapping me against the workstation. "You've got good instincts," he murmured, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. "But instincts don't win races." Before I could push him away, someone bumped into him from behind. He stumbled forward, and suddenly, his lips crashed hard against mine. My mind went completely blank. It was an accident. It had to be. But when he pulled back, his eyes weren't steady, and his breathing was ragged. "Stay out of my way," he warned.

But the way he looked at my lips? It didn't feel like a warning at all. It felt like a promise.

My new neighbor is a jerk. A grumpy, arrogant bastard with the kind of looks that melt panties from ten feet away. At first, I was dazzled by him—tall, broad-shouldered, stupidly hot. Then he opened his mouth, and I realized I hated him. He's smug, rude, and way too good at getting under my skin.
I wanted him gone—until the night he saved me from getting abducted.

In the cutthroat halls of Beacon High, scholarship student Grace Thompson is invisible—until she becomes the target of Regina Michaels, the queen bee who strips her naked in the showers and leaves her humiliated and exposed.

But Jace Hunter, the brooding, untouchable billionaire’s son with ice in his veins and girls at his feet, anonymously drapes his luxurious Pierre fur coat over her stall, Grace’s world tilts.

Suddenly, the same boy whose cold gaze once terrified her is pulling her from the fire—claiming her publicly, defending her fiercely, and then kissing her senseless in front of his furious ex to make her his fake girlfriend.

Now trapped between a vicious bully who wants her destroyed and the dangerously magnetic Jace who sets her heart racing with every brooding look and possessive touch, Grace must navigate a minefield of secrets, lies, and scorching chemistry.

In a world where money talks and poverty is punishable, one fake kiss could ruin her…or become the most intoxicating real thing she’s ever known.

"I'm pregnant with Max's baby. We are going to be together."
The world stopped. My boyfriend. My colleague. My betrayal.
And I was the fool who never saw it coming.
When Maddy's long-term boyfriend cheats on her with her colleague—and gets her pregnant—her world collapses overnight. Heartbroken and humiliated, Maddy walks away from everything she knows, determined to rebuild her life from the ground up.
A new job. A clean slate.
But her fresh start takes an unexpected turn when she lands a position at her ex's rival company working directly under Nate Harrison—the charismatic, guarded CEO with a reputation for getting whatever he wants.
Nate has his own complications: a scheming ex, a powerful family watching his every move, and a dying grandmother whose final wish is to see him happy and in love. So when he offers Maddy a deal—a fake relationship to solve both their problems—she reluctantly agrees.
It's supposed to be simple. Pretend to be his girlfriend. Smile for the cameras. Keep emotions out of it.
But between stolen glances, whispered touches, and the undeniable spark that keeps drawing them together, Maddy finds herself in dangerous territory—falling for the one man she swore she could never trust.
Because sometimes the most complicated love story do start with a lie.

Calla spent her life unseen—the awkward girl next door, with messy hair and fragile bones, easy to ignore. Until the night of her eighteenth birthday, when the Moon Goddess revealed her fated mate: her arrogant stepbrother, Lucas, the golden boy of the wolves. He rejected her in front of everyone. Humiliated and heartbroken, Calla ran… and awakened a power no one could ignore.

She emerged beautiful and powerful. Now two dangerous men want her—Lucas, the mate who cast her aside, and Darius, her childhood crush and forbidden desire. Both would burn the pack to claim her.

The duckling is gone. The storm has arrived.

Three months ago, my life changed for the worst. I caught my boyfriend in bed with another woman and Instead of apologising, he told me I won't find another man better than him.

I took it personally and decided to make him choke on that.

So I made a deal with the one man guaranteed to prove him wrong~ His hockey captain, his idol, and the most dangerously confident man I've ever met.

Reid Williams.

The last man I should be making deals with.

He'll pretend to be mine to make my ex regret everything...

In return, I'll help him fix the reputation that's one bad headline away from destroying his entire career.

It's supposed to be simple, controlled, fake.

But Reid doesn't leave things halfway.

Nothing about the way he looks at me seems fake, nothing about the way his hand settles on my waist like it's a claim, nothing about the way his lips linger after a kiss.

And everytime I remember this is just a deal... He gives me a reason to forget.

I've been married to my husband Jake for three years. In that time, I've been pregnant twice.

But each time, I lost the baby.

What took my children wasn't a medical condition, but a painting.

A black bird, painted by Jake's ten-year-old blind brother, Billy.

My in-laws claimed he had the gift—a psychic born with sight beyond sight. And the black bird was an omen. It marked my baby as cursed, a threat to the family.

To save my second child, I got the best amniocentesis report money could buy, proving the baby had no genetic defects.

It happened again anyway.

At three in the morning, I woke to the agony of another miscarriage and stumbled to the studio door.

That's when I found out the truth.

Faith only wanted a quiet life in Zambales—teaching, caring for her child Jairee, and burying the pain of her past. But when Austin, her first love, suddenly returns, her world is turned upside down. A desperate agreement forces her into a cold marriage where silence and distance cut deeper than any wound.

Complicated family secrets begin to unravel: a manipulative mother-in-law, a hidden twin brother, lost loves, betrayals, and revelations that threaten to destroy everything Faith holds dear. With Jairee’s life at the center of a dangerous web of lies and vengeance, Faith must summon the strength to fight for her child, her love, and her dignity.

But in a world where every truth hides another deception, can Faith and Austin ever truly find peace—and a love strong enough to survive the past?

She was the true heiress of a powerful family — yet her own flesh and blood sold her to the filthiest brothel in the city. She died of syphilis, discarded and forgotten.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back at the fake heiress's birthday party. Right in front of her was a glass of wine — laced with an aphrodisiac, handed over with a smile.
Just as she was about to throw the drink in the impostor's face, her brother — the one who had always looked down on her — grabbed the glass and downed it himself...

She was the true heiress, destroyed in her previous life by the fake heiress and a family that never loved her. Now reborn, she cuts ties with those who betrayed her, reclaims the spotlight that was always rightfully hers, and finds her way back to the man she was once engaged to marry.
Across two lifetimes, they are not only destined lovers — but each other's greatest ally.

Aurora's life is a daily battle against the shadows of her parents' addiction. Determined to protect her younger brother, Sol, from the chaos surrounding them, she finds herself forced to shoulder responsibilities beyond her years. As she struggles to find employment and escape the dangerous debts haunting her family, a tragic event shatters her existence devastatingly. Desperate for a solution, Aurora seeks help through an ancient ritual promising answers. But what she invokes is not a benevolent deity; it's a demon prince, thirsting for power and obsessed with her. The pact she makes to save her family triggers a series of events that threaten to consume not only her soul but everything she loves.

"Ah, but it's the fire in you that attracts me most, Aurora. If you want to play with fire, I'm more than willing to burn alongside you.'"

She was forced to accept a marriage proposal from a strange billionaire to pay her huge debt and to take back her inheritance left to him when her mother died.

"I only have two questions," she said. "The first question is this: if I sign it, does it mean that I don't need to pay my debt?"

Mike: "Yes. And your second question...?"

Crystal: "Okay, I haven't reached the legal age for marriage yet, so even if I sign it, it won't take effect. Is that right?"

Nathan quickly raised his hand and said, "If I say that it is effective, no one will dare to say that it isn't. Do you believe that?"

"I suppose so," Crystal admitted. She hesitated for a moment, and then she signed the marriage certificate.

Months later, she asked for a divorce from him. He stared at her in silence, then he uttered, "Have I ever told you how much I love you?"

"What does that have to do with our divorce?" Crystal asked.

"I'm only asking because I care about you," Nathan murmured.

Suddenly, tears began to stream down Nathan's face.

"I'll be happy if you say that you care about me," Nathan continued. "Why must you torture me this way? Haven't I done enough to prove my love for you?"

She was stunned hearing his confession and words stuck on her throat.

Nathan carried on with his little speech. He said, "I have died once, and the fear of death has no hold on me. But if you admit that you care for me, then I will live for you! So, please, love me once, and I will be at your disposal!"

He owns the school. I just survive in it.

Matt was supposed to be my safe place.
My best friend. My maybe-someday.
Until he chose her—the girl who’s bullied me for being poor, curvy, and unwanted since day one.

Now he’s dating her, and I’m left with nothing…
Except rage.
And a deal I never saw coming.

Lucien Knox Ravenscroft is danger in a tailored uniform—the son of a trillionaire, heir to Ravenscroft Academy, and the guy every girl wants. He also happens to be her ex.

And nobody dumps him.
Especially not for some millionaire’s son.

So when he offers me a deal—a fake relationship that puts us front and center—I say yes.
He wants revenge.
I want Matt to regret ever choosing her.

But then comes the bet.
If Matt notices me again, I win—and Lucien will help me ruin her.
If not… I’m his. For as long as he wants me.

Now the whole school is watching.
My father works for his powerful, monstrous dad.
My crackhead mother is a secret buried deep.
And Lucien?
He doesn’t believe in soft. He plays dirty.

And the more we fake it, the more real it feels.

This isn’t love.
This is war.

No one fakes a relationship with Lucien Knox Ravenscroft… and survives it whole.
