I hadn't seen my mafia husband, Luca Moretti, and our daughter Dora in three whole months. Luca was always "too busy with business," while his mother kept my daughter away from me. When Luca finally called me to a family reunion, I thought I would finally get my family back. Instead, I watched my daughter cling to Maria, the maid, as if she were her real mother. Luca defended Maria, ignored my pain, and treated my heartbreak like an inconvenience. After years of sacrificing everything for my marriage, I finally stopped begging for their love. I decided to leave the Moretti family behind, take my daughter if I could, and build a life of my own. But walking away from a powerful mafia family isn't as easy as I imagined. Luca refuses to let me go, Maria's secrets begin to surface, and the truth behind my daughter's sudden hatred threatens to destroy everything they have built. This time, I won't wait for my husband to choose me. I'll choose myself.
My online boyfriend suddenly sent me a photo of his lunch—a steaming hot steak fresh off the grill. "Praise me, baby! I'm being a good boy and eating my lunch!" I was just about to send "good boy" when my eyes drifted to the edge of his plate. Mike Tech. The same company where I worked. My heart stopped. Could my online boyfriend of over a year have been sitting somewhere in the same building all along? As misunderstandings pile up and hidden identities unravel, I must discover whether the man I love is truly the one I think he is.
After three years of marriage, Emily Carter finally discovers she's pregnant and prepares a homemade lunch to surprise her husband, billionaire CEO Daniel Carter, with the joyful news. But before she can reach him, his ambitious secretary mistakes her for one of the women trying to seduce the boss. Humiliated, assaulted, and left fighting for both her life and her unborn child, Emily's world shatters. When the truth comes out, Daniel realizes his greatest mistake wasn't trusting the wrong employee—it was failing to protect the woman he loved most. Now, betrayal will be answered with justice, and those responsible will pay a devastating price.
I grew up abroad. My mother feared I might marry a foreign man, so she arranged an engagement for me with a talented and handsome man in Flodon. She insisted that I return home to get engaged.
I came back and started shopping for an engagement dress at a luxury boutique. I selected an off-white strapless gown and decided to try it on.
Suddenly, a woman nearby glanced at the dress in my hand and told the saleswoman, "That's a unique design. Let me try it."
The saleswoman immediately yanked it out of my hands.
I protested indignantly, "Excuse me, I was here first. Don't you understand the principle of 'first come, first served'? Or do you just not care about common decency?"
The woman scoffed and retorted, "This dress costs $188,000. Do you really think a broke nobody like you can even afford it?
"I'm Lucas Goodwin's sister in all but blood. He's the chairman of Goodwin Group. In Flodon, the Goodwin family sets the rules."
What a coincidence! Lucas Goodwin was my fiancé!
I immediately called him and said, "Hey, your 'sister in all but blood' just stole my engagement dress. Do something about it."
I’m a werewolf, eight months pregnant with my vampire mate's hybrid child. When labor begins, my vampire mate, Justin, locks me inside an ancient ice coffin so his childhood sweetheart, Isolde, can give birth first and claim the Progenitor's legendary blessing. As I fight unbearable pain, cruel illusions, and betrayal, both my baby and I are abandoned to die. Only after my life signs disappear does Justin realize the horrifying truth—that the coffin he built to protect another woman became the tomb of the mate who loved him unconditionally.
I'm a top healer at the Neutral Territory Sanctuary. The full moon watch had been draining. I'd barely stepped out the Sanctuary's grand doors when my phone blew up. It was the trauma wing. "Cora, get back here. Now. A patient just came in, severe wolfsbane poisoning. The Head Elder wants you leading the team!" My healer's instinct took over. I turned without a second thought. But then, a string of bizarre, floating red words appeared before my eyes—a fatal warning. 【DON'T YOU DARE STEP INTO THE ADVANCED HEALING ROOM! DON'T JOIN THIS RESCUE!】 【THE LUNA IS ALREADY DEAD. IF YOU GO IN NOW, YOU'RE JUST A SCAPEGOAT FOR THE ELDER'S DAUGHTER!】 【THIS PATIENT IS THE IRONCLAW PACK'S LUNA. THE ENRAGED ALPHA WILL TEAR YOU TO SHREDS. YOUR MATE AND FAMILY WILL BE DRAGGED DOWN WITH YOU!】 My feet froze to the spot. After a few seconds of dead silence, panic and a raw will to survive squeezed my heart. I decided to bet my life on those red lines. I was going all in. My Lycan vision scanned the dark street. My eyes locked onto it—an abandoned wolf trap at the corner of the street. The metal grate was gone, leaving it exposed. I clenched my jaw, squeezed my eyes shut, and without a second of hesitation, I leaped into that bottomless black hole.
For the 100th time, my Alpha mate, Ryker, used his command on me, threatening to reject our bond if I didn't sacrifice myself for my twin sister, Ivy. I didn't cry or protest. I simply signed the mate bond rejection papers. I surrendered the Alpha I had loved for ten years to my sister.
A few days later, Ivy caused a scene at the Pack Alliance Banquet, humiliating the Silvermoon Alpha's daughter. Once again, I stepped forward to take her place, enduring the pain of a disfiguring silver brand.
Later, when they demanded I test the safety of the Wolf Spirit Regeneration Ritual with my own body for my sister, I accepted with a smile.
My Beta parents, their eyes red-rimmed, told me I was finally being the older sister I was supposed to be.
Even Ryker, who had always been so distant toward me, stood before the cellar. He gently stroked my cheek for the first time in ages and said softly,
"Harper, don't be afraid. As soon as the trial is over, I'll take you to see the auroras at Moon Goddess Lake."
But he didn't know that, regardless of the trial's outcome, he would never see me again.
My wolf spirit was already fading.
Nothing could save me.
This time, when I closed my eyes, it would be forever.
When the yacht was sinking, and only one spot was left on the lifeboat, Hendrix Zuckerman chose me. I was rescued, but Yana Bridgeton didn’t make it. She couldn’t wait for the second lifeboat and drowned in the ocean, her body lost forever. Hendrix pretended not to care and went through with our wedding as planned. For five years after our marriage, he trampled me into the dirt, blaming me for Yana's death. When I couldn't take it any longer and wanted a divorce, he decided to die with me. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the yacht accident happened. This time, I’ve decided to give the chance to survive to the one he loves most.
“I need your help to fake a private jet crash,” I said quietly. “It’s the only way I can ever leave Luca Moretti.” People said he’d given up the Mafia throne for me. They called him the man who traded power for love—the heir who walked away from blood and gold just to marry a waitress from the slums. For years, he made the world believe in us. He built empires under my name. He sent me roses every Monday. He told the press I was his salvation. But love doesn’t always mean loyalty. While I was busy believing in forever, he was building a second home behind my back—one filled with laughter, toys, and twin sons who had his eyes. The night I disappeared, his empire burned. He tore apart cities, bribed governments, and buried men alive just to find me. But by the time he did—I was already gone. And the woman he’d once died for no longer loved him enough to stay alive.

This time, she chooses the horse trainer.
And this time, everyone who believed she would fight for the Sinclair family is about to discover that Esme has no intention of repeating her old life.

My fiancé was moving to Boston with my best friend, and he had kindly arranged for me to spend the rest of my life in Iowa, taking care of his father.

Grant called it a practical arrangement. Tessa called it family. But when I found a spreadsheet detailing my care schedule, living expenses, and even how often I was allowed to visit him, I finally understood the truth: they hadn't planned a future with me. They had assigned me a role in theirs.
