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.

She has hated them for as long as she can remember and her feelings about them wouldn’t matter so much if she wasn’t living among werewolves. She’s not like them though. Her father’s a werewolf, the Alpha of a very powerful pack, but the fact that she can’t shift into one and that her mother is neither the Luna nor a werewolf made her an outcast in the pack.

In my family, "democracy" was just a gilded word for bullying.
Every time there was a conflict between me and my adopted sister, Ivy, my fiancé and my brother would settle it with a family vote.
The location of my marital home? I lost, 3-1.
The guest list for my wedding? I lost, 3-1.
 
And when Ivy wanted the massive south-facing master suite in my new house to build her walk-in closet?
"Let's vote to keep things fair," my fiancé, William, declared.
I was a rising architect at Boston's most prestigious firm, yet I didn't even have the right to design my own marital home.
The result was unanimous. The bride's bedroom would be half the size of the adopted sister's closet.
 
Out of more than a hundred family votes over the last ten years:
My fiancé's votes for me: Zero.
My own brother's votes for me: Zero.
 
I finally realized this game was rigged from the start. I didn’t say a word. I just packed my bags.
Let them play their little voting game without me.

“Just like you killed my friend?”

His lips curl into a dark, mocking smile. “Seems like you’re ready to join her... wherever she is.”

My glare sharpens. I can’t stand the sight of the monster who hurt Natalie.

He was supposed to be my stepfather. I was supposed to call him Daddy, instead of baby, my darling, or even my husband. But when my mother was murdered, he suddenly dragged me to the altar to take my mother's place to marry him. As if my mother's murder wasn't shocking enough, I was forced to say I do under his piercing gaze, and even a gun to my ribs. I was scared, and I couldn't refuse. I had to marry a stranger who was supposed to be my stepfather. And worse, I didn't know that my future stepfather, or now my future husband, was a Don.
"You'll be safe as long as you use my last name. I'll make sure they won't touch a single hair on your head."

"Too bad, Katherine no longer has my last name. And you, you're Fiona Craig now."
Life was so strange. In an instant I lost my mother. In an instant I became the wife of the Don, Joshua Craig. And who knows what would happen next. It felt so wrong to us. It felt so wrong to me.

But, keeping my head high I said 'I am ready!"

He was the king of Arab, living miles away and had an evil plan against my Empire proposed for the marriage in front of Royal court with me but little did he know was nothing I had on my mind. I agreed for the wedding and his face fell.

To save my stepsister's life, I accepted a contract marriage with a stranger—$100,000 for one year.

Sebastian Sterling, the mysterious billionaire from Manhattan's Upper East Side, a devastatingly handsome bachelor. He needed a wife in name only, I needed money—a perfect arrangement.

But as I lost myself in his tender gaze and caring touch, his ex-girlfriend's return shattered everything. Behind this mail-order bride arrangement lay a shocking secret—

My true identity was the only key to his billion-dollar inheritance.

To marry Damian Thorne, I almost died thirteen times.

Over three years, I planned twelve weddings. Each one left me bleeding.

The first time: a runaway truck crashed into the bridal boutique, crushing my right leg.

The second time: the church ceiling collapsed during rehearsal, leaving me broken and bloodied.

The third time: poisoned champagne at the reception nearly killed me as I foamed at the mouth.

...

Manhattan's elite whispered that I was cursed.

But I still loved him desperately.

Until the thirteenth time. That bloody rainy night, three thugs cornered me in an alley and stabbed me seven times—two to the chest, three to the abdomen, two to the back. I lay dying in my own blood, yet somehow survived.

After I healed, I accidentally overheard Damian talking to his assistant.

"Mr. Thorne, she almost really died this time... Maybe we should stop? If your grandfather finds out..."

"We can't stop," Damian said wearily. "Her father saved my life. Grandfather is hell-bent on me marrying her. But DAMN IT, I love Selena, not her."

"As long as she won't give up, these accidents have to continue until she gets the message and leaves on her own."

I trembled as I touched the bandages covering my wounds, tears falling silently.

All these years, the man I desperately loved had been meticulously planning my death.

But he didn't know that this time, he really wouldn't have to marry me anymore.

"From now on, you're no longer Ariadne. Your name is Isabelle Carstairs and you will marry Prince Rowan."

"But I'm Ariadne, not Lady Isabelle. I'm an abomination. An Otsayak," I protested, touching the mark on my neck. "I can't pretend to be a werewolf."

Dressed in clothes that were not hers, finery that belonged to a noble, Ariadne Sand, a slave, outcast and Otsayak becomes the hidden substitute bride for Alpha Prince Rowan.

When the soft spoken and caring Ariadne comes to him, pretending to be his arranged bride, the lady Isabelle and nurtures him back to good health and he becomes strong again. A passionate and forbidden romance blossoms between them.

Otsayaks are not considered human, they are seen as an abomination and Ariadne has been a slave to her identity and the mark distinguishing her as an abomination for years.

Now the substitute bride has become a threat and with every ounce of recognition she gets, her secret threatens to topple everything down.

Harmony is no ordinary wolf shifter—she’s a hybrid of wolf and hound, the secret daughter of the Third Prince of Wolves. Hidden from the Council’s prying eyes, she’s been raised to live a quiet, human-like life, spared the fate of being trained to serve Xaxas, the ruthless High King.
But Harmony’s heart beats for the forbidden: she loves all living things, even humans—sworn enemies of the supernatural. Her dream? To break the treaty that divides their worlds and help those in need. But when she crosses paths with him—the son of the Horned God of Night—her gentle ideals are put to the ultimate test.
He is a force of destruction: unbeatable in battle, untouchable by magic, a name that makes even the bravest cower. Bred for war and darkness, can Harmony’s compassion soften a heart forged in shadow? Or will her forbidden love for the enemy cost her everything—including her life, her wolf, and the fate of two worlds?
*****Mature Content “Mate…”The word slipped out unbidden, my breath hitching as his touch ignited every nerve—sparks that tingled across my skin, scattering thoughts already frayed by my wolf, Luminescence. He grinned, sharp fangs glinting, and leaned in, nipping my ear gently. A shiver cascaded down my spine. His clawed hand cupped my cheek, warm and rough, and I let the blanket slip from my shoulders, baring myself to him...

It is a one-night stand for a 24 years old college girl, Annabelle. With no strings attached.

When she sees her baby father on the cover page of a magazine tagged as the youngest billionaire in New York and a womanizer, her mother is set on using him to change their poor status.

Aidan is a 26 years old billionaire with a high sexual urge, ever since the night with Anna. He is less interested in keeping a woman and having a baby is totally out of it.

When confronted with the news, he denies her until her mother threatens to tarnish his image.

Will Aidan agree to the marriage after introducing his sex partner to his parents?

Will Anna keep the pregnancy even after the rejection?

Will she be able to take his insults and the fact that he finds her unwanted?

Marchioness Harriet Goldlane, a talented noblewoman, made a deal with Old Duke Almandine. To save her younger brother, she was willing to become a substitute for Liam's 'mate', the grandson of the Old Duke. Liam was an Alpha whose 'mate' died long ago. He was severely injured and had been living without a heart for a long time. He could only wake up from his sleep when there was a full moon.

The Old Duke and Liam himself guessed that the man would die soon due to his worsening condition. Because of that, Old Duke wanted Harriet to give birth to an heir to the Almandine Family from Liam's seed so that their family would have a new leader.

The Alpha's replacement bride would soon find that she was in love with the dying man and now they both wished for a miracle to save Liam's life. Could she fulfill her duty to bear the next Alpha for the Almandines? Would Liam survive to protect his bride and family?

The space between them disappeared. She arched into him, tilting her head as his lips traced a slow path down her jaw, then lower.

Goodness, she wanted more.


Valentina De Luca was never meant to be a Caruso bride. That was her sister's role—until Alecia ran off with her fiancé, leaving behind a family drowning in debt and a deal that couldn’t be undone. Now, Valentina is the one offered up as collateral, forced into marriage with Naples’ most dangerous man.

Luca Caruso has no use for a woman who wasn’t part of the original bargain. To him, Valentina is nothing more than a replacement, a means to reclaim what was promised to him. But she isn’t as fragile as she seems. And the more their lives tangle, the harder she is to ignore.

Few years later, she returns as the CEO of an international empire, more powerful than anyone imagined possible. Her secret weapon? The little boy with piercing grey eyes who calls her "Mommy, he is the son of the man who destroyed her.

Caleb Black spent years drowning in regret, searching for the wife he threw away. Now she's back, untouchable and unforgiving. He'll do anything to reclaim what he lost his wife, his son, his chance at redemption.

But Bella didn't return to forgive, she returned to conquer.

With enemies circling, old wounds bleeding, and a passion that refuses to die, Bella must decide: Will she let the man who broke her back into her heart?

For five years, I loved Daniel Wilson with everything I had—only to watch him kiss his new secretary at our celebration dinner. That was the moment I finally woke up.
Disillusioned with love, I agreed to a marriage of convenience. I thought I was marrying the notorious playboy, Ethan Williams. But when we signed the papers, the name on the marriage certificate was Benjamin Williams—the ruthless business king everyone calls the “King of Hell.”
He showered me with priceless jewelry, wiped out my enemies, and shielded me from every storm. But he never once said he loved me.
Until one night, he pinned me against the wall, his breath hot against my skin, and whispered,
“Sophia, how much longer do you want me to wait?”
Turns out, this marriage was never an accident. It was his plan from the very beginning.

One contract to save her son. One night to change their future.
Seven years ago, music heiress Elisa Lee rescued a baby from a trash can with a note that said: “Kill it.” To keep him safe, she vanished, hiding her beauty behind a dowdy disguise and a maid’s uniform.
Now, her funds are frozen, and the wolves are closing in. Her only choice? Sign a three-month "Mail-Order Bride" contract with the cold, insomniac billionaire Ridge Lockhart. Ridge needs an heir and a cure for his trauma; Elisa needs a fortress.
He expects a gold-digger. He gets a woman whose voice is the only thing that brings him peace. But one night of passion shatters the "contract-only" rule, leaving Elisa with a shock: she’s pregnant. As their cold marriage turns into a burning obsession, a DNA test reveals the ultimate twist. The seven-year-old boy Elisa saved isn't an orphan—he’s the twin of the son Ridge lost in a plane crash years ago.
Caught between a hidden past and a new life, Elisa must decide: is Ridge her protector, or will the truth destroy the family she’s sacrificed everything to build?

When Sierra woke in Eastfield without memory of her past, she built a life of strength and survival. But one mistake brought her face-to-face with Adrian, the powerful Alpha who once broke her.

He wants her back and she wants answers. Their bond burns hotter than ever, but secrets, enemies, and an ambitious rival threaten to tear them apart.

And when Adrian’s would-be fiancee claims she’s carrying Adrian’s child, Sierra must decide whether she should walk away forever, or fight for the love and family that should have always been hers.

"Hello, wifey! You have been very quiet since our wedding. We should have some fun," Matteo wrapped his arm around her neck, causing her to wince.
"We should dance, Laura!" Matteo said, causing Liana to grunt in annoyance.
"My name is Liana!" She corrected, but he scoffed at her.
"Who gives his daughter that kind of weird name? Liana!" Matteo sniggered.
"Come on, let's go shake our bodies!" Matteo tried to drag her up, but she refused to stand.
"I am too tired." She found the perfect excuse to give, but she knew that she didn't want to go because she hated him.
Surprisingly, Matteo didn't try to press further.
"I hope you are ready for tonight, Liana. I have been saving myself to make this night a memorable one. Your uncle tells me that you have never been touched by a man, but we know that's just an illusion of an old priest."
The look Matteo saw on Liana's face was far from what he was expecting.
"You are a virgin?" He asked, shocked before she could even nod in response.
"Goodness gracious!" Matteo couldn't believe it.
"Little saint!" He teased her, but nothing he did or said seemed pleasant to Liana.
She didn't bother to look at him again while he kept his eyes on her, unable to fathom the nature of her innocence.
"I am bored. Come kiss me…" Matteo grabbed Liana by her waist, and without warning, he tried to kiss her.
"Let go of me!" She yelled, and a slap followed.
Silence followed the loud gasp that left her.
Liana was afraid, thoughts of what he could do to her filled her mind.
Then suddenly Matteo began to laugh, and he leaned forward and spoke to her with a whisper.
"This is going to be fun. I always did like breaking things."

But Matteo isn't used to hearing "no". He's indulged in every pleasure life has to offer...except a woman like Liana. She's innocent, unwavering, and completely unimpressed by his power.
He wants her. She wants him to beg.
In a world of secrets, violence, and irresistible desire, Liana is drawn deeper into the mafia underworld, and deeper into Matteo's arms. But can love survive when it's built on lies? Or will Matteo's past destroy the only good thing he's ever wanted?
