“You want to get fuck without begging, without feeling guilty,” Dane growled. “Well that's the fucking wrong way to go about it.”

Is that what I was doing? No…can't be.

“Just look at you sucking my fingers deep into your hungry cunt. Such a little liar and a slut,” he mocked, grazing his teeth on my neck hard. I tremble, I didn't care for his mocking tone or his words, I was too far gone to care.

“Fuck! She's dripping,” Jax groans. Rubbing his palm over his mouth, his eyes fixed on where his brother's hand is buried deep inside me.

“Want a taste brother?” Dane asked, slowing down his thrusting fingers even more, his other hand yanked my sweater up in one smooth move and that fast I was completely naked.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Alpha Shane is split between two different lives. Shane and Adea's first life together and the life AFTER The Forbidden Alpha. Alpha Shane CAN be read as a standalone but I would recommend that readers read The Forbidden Alpha first.

I was eagerly awaiting the birth of my child,
only to be told that the one who died wasn't my Alpha Zachary, but his twin brother Beta Ethan !
The family forced him to take care of both me and Sophia,
making me share everything with her.
Sophia slapped me, nearly killing the child in my womb!
Alpha Zachary bluntly said that he only loved Sophia,
marrying me only to fulfill his brother's legacy.
Now that the child was born, he felt no debt to me.

When Atlas Sinclair, the rebellious heir to a billion-dollar empire, is forced into a corporate marriage to secure his family's business, he expects a meek, easy-to-control partner. Instead, he gets Kieran Laurent—his father’s biggest business rival’s son, a self-made billionaire with a reputation as a ruthless dealmaker.

Their arranged engagement is purely strategic—meant to unite two of the most powerful business dynasties. But behind closed doors, their battle for dominance begins. Atlas refuses to be controlled, and Kieran has no intention of playing the obedient fiancé. Sparks fly, tempers clash, and their boardroom battles turn into dangerously intimate encounters.

As the wedding date looms, their rivalry transforms into a high-stakes game of power and seduction. But when betrayals from their past threaten everything, will they fight for their business empires—or for each other?

Roman Volkov is the NHL’s "Ice Machine"—a cold, ruthless Russian enforcer who doesn't do feelings. I’m Lily Bennett, a shy librarian who prefers fictional heroes to real-life heartbreakers.

He’s my brother’s fiercest rival.

My brother, Leo, would trade his soul before he let a Volkov touch me. But when my community library faces a shutdown, I need a miracle—or a massive donation.

Roman has a problem, too.

His bad-boy reputation is about to get him traded to a team in the middle of nowhere. He needs a stable, wholesome girlfriend to
Save his career.

He offers me a deal: pretend to be his for the season, and he will save my library.

The rules are simple: No catching feelings. No telling my brother. And
definitely no crossing the line.

But when an away-game tournament traps us in a single hotel suite, the ice between us starts to melt. Roman isn't just a machine—he’s a man who looks at me with a hunger that terrifies me.

Now, the game is real, and if my brother finds out, it won’t just be Roman’s career on the line.

It will be my heart.

She's sworn to protect the wilderness. He's the monster she's been trained to hunt. Their bond could save two worlds—or destroy them both.
Luna Pierce thought the biggest threat in her mountains was paperwork. Then she met the wolf with amber eyes—and discovered that legends bleed, love bites, and destiny has teeth.
Hawk Blackthorn is everything she shouldn't want: a werewolf alpha, a suspected killer, and the fated mate her human soul can't resist. When a rogue pack frames his wolves for brutal attacks, Luna must choose between her badge and her heart.
But in a world where trust is a weapon and betrayal runs deeper than blood, the real enemy might be the one sleeping in her bed.
From wildlife ranger to wolf's mate—one woman's journey into a hidden world of primal loyalty, devastating secrets, and a love that could start a war.

Skylar Voss doesn't do complicated.

Smart? Annoyingly so.

Cursed? Apparently.

Mated to the one wolf on campus she's supposed to hate? Yeah. That too.

***

The thing about being wolfless is that nobody expects anything from you.

No rank. No shift. No mate bond snapping into place at the worst possible moment — like during a sold-out hockey game, in front of twelve thousand people, when she's shoved into the boards by a stampede for a flying t-shirt and the rival team's captain is the one who catches her.

Rhys Kincaid is everything Skylar was raised to despise.

Son of the Alpha who killed her father. Heir to the pack that burned her family out of their territory and left her mother with nothing but a wolfless daughter and a blood grudge. The kind of dangerous that doesn't bother pretending to be safe.

Skylar grew up packless because of his bloodline. And now the universe wants them to be 'mates'?

Hell. No.

She'd rather eat her statistics textbook.

But the bond doesn't care about history. It doesn't care that being seen with him could bury what's left of her mother's name — or that being scented on her could get him stripped of his captaincy and dragged home in chains.

It especially doesn't care that every time he looks at her, she forgets why she's supposed to run.

The rules are simple: don't touch. Don't talk. Don't let anyone find out.

They break all three within a week.

Harley always believed she was just a normal girl surviving a cruel home and a shattered heart—until a mysterious boy with golden eyes claimed she was his mate… and the key to reclaiming his throne.

Now thrust into a hidden world of werewolves, curses, and ancient rivalries, Harley discovers a terrifying truth: she’s not entirely human. She’s a mystic witch—one of the most powerful beings feared by wolves and hunted by their enemies

As passion ignites between Harley and Shane, the cursed Alpha who’s losing his power, enemies close in. Roy, Shane’s oldest friend turned deadliest rival, will stop at nothing to possess Harley’s gift… even if it means war.

But Harley isn’t just some prize to be claimed.


“Do you take Shane Medes, Great and mighty Alpha King, leader of the blood moon pack to be your lawful wedded mate?” Lauren coaxed her words, holding a book in her hand.

“Yes.” I smiled, the butterflies in my belly started to dance as I looked at the Alpha king in his face.

“Now, your turn Shane.” Lauren darted her eye at him, “do you take Harley Steven, this ordinary human, a lowlife and outcast from her family to be your lawfully wedded Luna and mate?”

I look at Shane waiting for his reply in anticipation. I have always wanted this day to come. To finally get married to Shane, just as the moon goddess has promised.

“Yes! I would till death separates us.” He pulled me by my waist, my belly hitting his. He raised my chin with his hand, his lips curly to a kiss, and he…

For centuries, two powerful werewolf packs have been locked in a bitter feud. The Western territories bow to Lucas Blackwood, an Alpha who bends shadows to his will and rules with merciless precision. The Eastern lands follow Elijah Darkhaven, whose fiery magic matches the passion driving his every decision.
"Our magic was never meant to destroy each other," Elijah whispered as their powers intertwined for the first time, shadows and flames dancing together. "It was meant to create something new."
When murdered wolves appear on both sides of their borders, the rival Alphas must form an uneasy alliance to find the true culprit. But as they work together, hatred sparks into a forbidden attraction neither can deny.
Now Lucas and Elijah face an impossible choice. Give in to the mate bond forming between them and risk everything they've built, or deny their feelings and watch their realm fall to an enemy who's been manipulating them both from the shadows.
In a world where tradition is law and pack loyalty is everything, their love could either save Tenebrous Realm or destroy it completely.

"Seraphina, you are destined to be my Luna, and no one will ever replace you."

Alpha Alexander has been searching on Earth for his missing Luna, who was taken by a cunning rival, for decades. When he finally finds her, it's not a happily ever after reunion. In a world where loyalty is tested and love is a weapon, Seraphina must choose—before the war for her soul consumes them all.

The door wasn't closed properly, and I overheard the truth that had been thirteen years in the making.

She called me a simp, said she never submitted an MBA application, and said her whole family was just waiting to live off my trust fund.

I didn't rush in at that moment—only a fool would give the other side a chance to perform.

I simply pressed the elevator button, got back into my car, and deleted all contact information within three seconds.

Then I began the liquidation: assets, contracts, guarantee agreements, cutting them off cleanly one by one.

Thirteen years is enough to feed a liar.

Next, she needs to know that the Grant family never does business at a loss.

On our third anniversary, I planned to announce my pregnancy, only to find my husband expecting a child with another woman
"It’s just for an heir," he pleaded, trying to trap me in our marriage.
Heartbroken, I hid my secret, served him divorce papers, and vanished.
When I returned to the spotlight, I wasn't alone. Beside me stood the city’s most mysterious and powerful tycoon.
My ex, crazed with jealousy, pinned me against the wall. "You are mine! Come home!"
But the tycoon pulled me into his arms, his gaze icy. "Back off. She belongs to me now."
In this three-way battle for my heart, who will be the ultimate winner?

My ex-husband betrayed me.
My new husband saved me.
“Trust me,” he whispered against my lips.
I wanted to.
But every answer I find about my past leads back to him.
And I'm starting to wonder...
Was meeting him really fate—or part of a secret planned long before I knew the truth?

I'm an OB-GYN. On Valentine's Day, I pulled a ring out of a woman's vagina.

It turned out to be my husband's wedding ring.

An hour before, he'd texted me. Said he loved me. Said he was too busy with work to come home.

I wanted a divorce. Needed one. But then I found out—our marriage was never registered.

In his manor, I was nothing. Just a fake wife.

He grabbed me by the throat—right in front of his mistress. Called me "damaged goods." Said I'd spent a year in another man's house.

But that year, I went as a hostage in his place.

I ran. Made it to the cliff's edge, covered in blood. And the man who saved me? The mafia godfather who'd held me captive that whole year.

He looked at me. "Marry me."

He’s used to owning everything . But will she be the one thing he can’t control?

Catrina Bernardi thought catching her husband cheating was the worst betrayal she would ever face.

She was wrong.

The real betrayal came when a car accident was orchestrated to kill her unborn baby. It exposed the truth about the man she married, and left her trapped in a nightmare Marco has no intention of ending. He is willing to stalk, threaten, and destroy anyone who helps her escape.

With nowhere left to run, Catrina turns to the last man she should trust, Marco’s most ruthless rival.

Wesley Morano offers her protection under one brutal condition: marry him.

It is meant to be nothing more than a strategic arrangement, a cold alliance to keep her alive and place her beyond Marco’s reach. But Wesley is dangerous in ways Marco never was, controlled, ruthless, and impossible to read. The deeper Catrina is pulled into his empire, the more she realizes that safety comes with a price.

And in Wesley’s world, survival is never free.

Betrayed and killed by the wolf king in my past life, I came back from hell. On the wedding day, I turned down his proposal without hesitation. I made a blood pact with his greatest enemy—the vampire king. Together, we avenged my child and family, and built a new future in the dark.

I was the Omega girl no one wanted. I was abandoned as a baby and even my mate rejected me in front of my entire pack, leaving me hurt and humiliated.
Then came the Peace Summit that only happens once every 70 years and I found out that the moon goddess gave me a second chance. Only, it’s not one mate, but two.
Valen Aibek, the sly King of the North, and Darian Callisto, the ruthless King of the South. They have been rivals for a decade but suddenly, they have one thing in common: me. They both claim I’m theirs.
If I choose Valen, the South considers me a traitor. If I stay with Darian, the North invades. The two most powerful men want me and I’m the only thing standing between them and a world war.
How should I choose?

Kendric Zillman is the "Golden Alpha" of Northwood University—arrogant, untouchable, and heir to a billion-dollar dynasty. Ansel Schmidt is the "Ice Prince" of the hockey rink, a sharp-tongued rival who despises everything Kendric stands for.

One night of passion and pheromones surrender changes everything. What begins as a blackmail-fueled "arrangement" to protect Ansel’s secret soon spirals into a suffocating obsession. With a manipulative sister pulling the strings and a jealous rival ready to leak the truth, Kendric faces the ultimate choice: his inheritance, or the "enemy" he was never supposed to love.

In a world of dominant Alphas, can a ruthless playboy sacrifice it all for the one person he was born to hate?

“Don’t do this.” I muttered, my voice shaky as I took a step back. He advanced towards me, his eyes lidded with emotions..

“Don't do what?” He asked, his voice deep and filled with so much pain that my heart aches.

“You know what.” I responded. I looked away from him, not able to stomach the pain in his eyes because I had caused that pain. “We're terrible for each other.” I added.

He stopped walking towards me and clenched his hands beside him. When he spoke again, his words shattered the remaining of my heart.

“Is it so bad to love me, Celia?”
.
.
.
Cecelia had her entire life planned out. She would graduate at the top of her class, go to an Ivy League school, and most importantly, make Alex Gomez's life miserable.

But life had other plans.

She was diagnosed with cancer in the middle of a school year. Even though, she ended up beating the illness, things had changed when she returned to school for senior year.

People had changed. Or so she thought.

Alex Gomez, her biggest rival, was still infuriating and competitive, but he had replaced her as the top student.

The worst part was that he was assigned to be her tutor.

Cecelia was going to make sure he regretted it. She didn't anticipate falling for him, or that he would feel the same way.

My fiancée's father called me a stray dog, worse than trash.
My rival forced me to crawl between his legs and trampled me into the mud.
They all thought I was just a piece of trash to be trampled on at will.
But they didn't know that I endured humiliation and hardship for a shocking secret order.

Ophelia Rodrigo, the only daughter of the city’s most successful business tycoons, was only sixteen years old when everything she loved was torn away from her in a single night. Ruthless thieves invaded the Rodrigo mansion, leaving behind blood, broken glass, and the haunting memory of her parents’ merciless deaths. Hidden in terror, Ophelia watched helplessly as the empire her family spent decades building collapsed within hours, and for the first time in her sheltered life, she understood what it meant to become utterly alone. She believed that night would also claim her life, that the Rodrigo name would vanish together with her.

Instead, she was saved by the last man she ever expected.

Dimitri Cox, the city’s youngest billionaire and her father’s most dangerous business rival, became the one person who made sure the final surviving Rodrigo did not disappear with the ashes of her family. He was the very man her parents had spent years trying to defeat, the name spoken with resentment inside their household, yet when everyone else was gone, it was Dimitri who took responsibility for the broken girl left behind by tragedy.

As the years pass, Ophelia grows into a woman burdened by grief, unanswered questions, and a hatred she no longer fully understands. She soon discovers that the massacre that destroyed her family was never an ordinary robbery, and every truth she uncovers leads to a conspiracy darker than she imagined. Forced to rely on Dimitri Cox, the cold and untouchable enemy who became her reluctant protector, Ophelia is pulled into a dangerous world of revenge, betrayal, and buried secrets, where the man she was raised to despise may be the only one willing to risk everything to keep her alive.

Five years of love, loyalty, and promises—destroyed in one wedding vow.

Judy believed Clark was the man she would spend her life with. After dating for five years, meeting his family, and planning their wedding, she thought love was enough.

She was wrong.

On the day she was supposed to be his bride, Judy watched Clark marry his rich ex-girlfriend instead—leaving her humiliated, heartbroken, and mocked by the world.

As if that wasn’t enough, Judy’s mother’s life hangs on a thread, with a surgery bill of $45,000 she can’t afford. When Clark, the man who promised to help her, turns his back on her completely, Judy hits rock bottom.

That’s when she meets David Jones—a ruthless billionaire CEO and Clark’s sworn business rival.

Cold. Powerful. Dangerous.

David offers her a deal:
A one-year contract marriage.
No love. No emotions.

In return, he will pay for her mother’s surgery.

Judy agrees—not just to save her mother, but to take revenge on the man who betrayed her.

What starts as a loveless contract soon turns into a dangerous game of desire, power, and buried secrets. As Judy steps into the world of wealth and revenge, she must decide—

Is she just using David for survival…
Or is she slowly falling for the man she was never supposed to love?

"How was I supposed to explain to my husband that I had another man's sperm inside me?"
Some mistakes can be hidden, but others come back to claim everything.
Mirabella thought she was building a future, until one chilling mistake at the fertility clinic shattered her world. Instead of her husband's child, she's carrying the baby of a stranger. Desperate to protect herself from her family, she agrees to a secret arrangement.
She signs a deal with the devil: carry the child, take the money, and disappear.
But nothing is ever that simple.

They killed her together.

Her husband, Roman, sold her body to monsters and called it a wedding gift.

Her sister, Elsa, strapped a bomb to her chest and called it mercy.

Tasha James died believing love had a price. She paid it in full.

Then she opens her eyes, and it's one year before any of it happened.

No scars. No bomb. No betrayal, not yet.
Just two people who still think she's naïve enough to love them again.

She isn't.

This time, Tasha is fire wrapped in silk, smiling while she rewrites her own fate, one calculated move at a time. She'll kiss the rival she once mocked, the boy who died trying to save her in another life. She'll let her enemies believe they've already won.

Then she'll watch them choke on the ashes of their own cruelty.

He loved her first.

He'll protect her now.

And together, they'll burn down the world that broke her.

I died on the barren wasteland in a raging blizzard.
Before my death, many from the pack came to say goodbye.
Even Seraphina, my lifelong rival, came.
Only Kael, my Alpha mate of five years, was absent.
He was with that rogue Jennifer, watching the moon's reflection in Silver Moon Falls.
In my final moments, I received his mind-link.
"When the Moon Goddess guided me to find you as my fated mate, you were just a Beta. To inherit the Alpha position, I had no choice but to choose you. All these years I've been giving you suppressants, forbidding you from getting pregnant, and you agreed to it all. You've been a competent Luna."
"If there's a next life, I'll still choose you. In this life, rest in peace. I'll personally arrange your funeral."
Sensing this mind-link, my rival Seraphina sneered mockingly: "Karolyn, you really weren't cut out to be a Luna."
"In the next life, don't compete with me anymore."
Her words proved prophetic. When I opened my eyes again, we had both returned to the day of the Darkwood family's mate selection ceremony.
Kael said coldly: "Karolyn, the Moon Goddess has chosen you as my fated mate. You will be Darkwood's Luna."
Without hesitation, I stepped back and pointed to Seraphina.
"I think the Luna position is better suited for Seraphina."

Little did she know, he was the most powerful Alpha in the werewolf community, a world she thought only existed in the book. How hard could it be?

On the night of my rebirth, fueled by alcohol and rage, I stumbled into the room of my fiancé’s sworn enemy—and kissed him.

Everyone thinks Atlas is a heartless playboy who toys with women.

Only I know how submissive he can be, and the filthy, dirty things he whispers when he calls me "Baby."

Outside the door, my scumbag ex-fiancé, Knox, was screaming, begging for a second chance.

Inside the door, Atlas’s wandering hands were exploring every inch of my body.

"Be a good girl," he rasped against my ear. "Moan loud enough for him to hear."

The next day, Knox pinned me against the wall, his eyes red with jealousy. "I can do better than him. Choose me, okay?"

I shoved him away coldly. "Too late."

From the moment I was reborn, my goal was to make Knox pay. Why simp for a cheater when I can make him lose his fortune, his reputation, and force him to kneel at my feet?

Atlas smirked, pulling me into his arms. "Choose me. I'll help you destroy him."

The deal is humiliating to propose and she knows it. Be her fake boyfriend. Make Ryan lose his mind watching her on his brother's arm. In return, she'll do what no coach has managed: she'll get Cole to that championship.

But what started as a plan to make her dumb ex livid becomes something even more igniting, far more than she could have imagined.

"You're my brother's biggest rival."

Turner smirked. "And?"

"And Liam would literally kill us."

"Then it's a good thing we're not actually dating."

Ezra Beckley only agrees to fake date hockey captain Turner Fisher to save himself from a campus-wide rumor disaster. The arrangement is simple: pretend to be boyfriends for three months, fix their reputations, and walk away.

No kissing.

No feelings.

And absolutely no telling Liam Beckley—Ezra's overprotective older brother and Turner's biggest rival. The plan should have been easy, till Turner starts looking at him like he's something worth choosing.

And suddenly, the fake relationship feels dangerously real.

She came to seduce a monster. She didn't expect to fall for one.
Elena Heart is a liar, a spy, assassin and the last ghost of a murdered noble house. To break the curse of monsters plaguing her land, she accepts a deadly mission: infiltrate the court of King Xavier Drakes, the tyrant who rules with iron and shadow, and seduce him into ruin.
But the king is not the beast she imagined.
Xavier has spent a decade chained to a monster inside his own soul, forged by betrayal and a childhood spent in darkness. He sees Elena’s ruse from her first treacherous smile. Yet he doesn't kill her. He plays along. Because a woman brave enough to lie to a tyrant might be brave enough to help him burn the real conspiracy down.
As lies entangle into truth and hatred twists into obsession, Elena discovers the greatest danger isn't the monsters at the border, it's the man who knows her every secret and surrenders anyway.
In a game of power and poison, the last move is always love. Or murder.
They’re not sure which yet.

I woke up three years into a marriage I barely remembered—pregnant with twins that weren't my husband's.

Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.

Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?

Asher Kingsley and Roman Volkov were never meant to get along.

Asher is the golden boy of college hockey, the coach's perfect son, raised in the spotlight and expected to win both games and public approval. He's secretly sharp-tongued and uses his fists to defend himself.

Roman is his complete opposite: the calm defenseman with a mother obsessed with politics. He has zero patience for politics or cameras.

On the ice, they’re enemies. Their rivalry is legendary. Dirty hits, heated arguments, and games that always end with both of them in the penalty box.

But when an accidental kiss happens, the tension between them finally snaps. One reckless moment in an empty locker room turns years of rivalry into something far more dangerous.

Asher wants to agree that it was a mistake, but Roman doesn't want that. Then their parents announce they’re getting married. Suddenly, Asher and Roman aren’t just rivals; they’re about to become stepbrothers.

Forced into the same spaces outside the rink, their carefully buried attraction refuses to stay hidden. As competition, family pressure, and proximity collide, the two hockey stars must decide whether their rivalry is worth protecting… Or if the truth between them is worth risking everything.

Because some lines aren’t meant to be crossed.

And some are impossible not to.

The night Declan Ashford announces his chosen mate, everyone in the pack expects me to show up and fall apart.
I don't go.
What I do instead: I'm sitting on the floor of Cael Voss's dorm room in a training jacket that isn't mine, asking whether his mattress is filled with rocks. Cael is Declan's packmate at the academy. His equal in rank. His roommate. The last person I had any reason to call tonight.
I called him anyway.
Here's what he doesn't know: I'm not actually Beta. My real rank was sold before I was old enough to understand what that meant. I've been suppressing it for years.
Here's what I don't know: he's had something of mine under his pillow for two years. Something small. Something I spent three days looking for before I gave up.
Neither of us has said anything about it yet.

For five years, Lyka Forth was the invisible force behind billionaire Hollywood icon Sean McGregor. She scheduled his life, anticipated his needs, and quietly hid a hopeless, unrequited love for her boss. She never expected him to look her way, especially not after the tragic car accident that claimed his wife’s life and left his four-year-old son traumatized and mute.
But Sean is drowning. Running on empty from a brutal case of insomnia, he discovers a bizarre secret: the only time his mind quiets is when he’s near Lyka.

Forced into close proximity, the icy boundaries of their business arrangement begin to melt into a scorching, slow-burn passion. But between a media frenzy, a toxic manager, and a vengeful ex-girlfriend, their fake life is a battlefield. Just as Sean realizes his vows have become entirely real, a devastating secret about the night of the accident surfaces.

Can love survive the ultimate betrayal, or was their marriage doomed from the very first signature?

He took her first kiss during their initial meeting, and she called him perverted and arrogant. Her candid demeanor intrigued him, despite the risks involved.
To capture her attention, he announced a surrogacy competition, leaving her no choice but to participate, only to discover he was the same man she had taught a lesson he would never forget.
Caught in the trap set by this merciless billionaire, she went along with his game and became his wife. His dark secrets slowly emerged, pulling them down into a deep despair. Then he vanished from her life, only to be replaced by another stranger. She felt his warmth, and they kissed.
Tears began to cascade down her cheeks, saturating the fabric that covered them. When he sensed her warm tears, he panicked. He didn't understand why, but he couldn't bear to see her cry. "Darling, please don’t cry..." He released her, his fingers delicately brushing her hair. "I won't touch you, I promise not to anymore, okay?"
She sobbed more intensely and choked out, "Don't talk!"
"... Why?" He was taken aback.
She gently bit her lip, unable to refrain from saying, "When you talk, you remind me so much of him..."
He was so kind and doted on her. When he spoke, it felt as if it weren't another person, but her husband Joshua standing beside her. Even the way he kissed her felt strikingly familiar...
In that moment, Hazel realized just how much she longed for Joshua. Without him by her side, each day of waiting became an excruciating ordeal.
She wasn’t afraid of waiting. Even if it meant waiting for a long time, she would value it. But she feared she might never see him again, even if she spent her entire life waiting.
Would she uncover the truth behind this unfamiliar man? Would she be able to forgive if she realized how he orchestrated the intricate game of LOVE and REVENGE?
