Novels by Rarejewel

Briar Hale knelt before three hundred witnesses and watched her fated mate reject her for the one thing she could never change. Too heavy. Too much. Not built for a throne. What Alpha Prince Ronan Ashguard did not say was the truth: a blood oath forced his hand, and the alternative was watching his own mother destroy her. Briar does not wait around to find out. She walks into the arms of a rival Alpha who sees her Ironback strength as a gift, not a flaw, and builds a life on land that was never meant to want her. But a rejected bond does not die quietly. It claws back through both of them, one broken rule at a time, while a war neither chose creeps closer to the one thing they still share. Her. Some mates are chosen by the moon. Hers might be worth burning a kingdom down for.

She signed the divorce papers with a steady hand and walked out without looking back. Roman Ashford expected tears. He got silence. And somehow, the silence was worse. For three years, Seraphina Montague was the quiet woman at his side. Forgettable, he thought. Easy to overlook. He was wrong about all of it. She was never just his wife. She was the heiress to one of the most powerful families in the country. She managed empires from the shadows. She saved his company in secret while she was already planning to leave him. Now she is untouchable, and Roman cannot stop watching. He wants her back. She has moved on. He is chasing a woman who never needed him. And the more he learns about who she really is, the more he understands exactly what he threw away. Some mistakes cannot be undone. Roman Ashford is about to find out if they can be earned back.

Elle a signé les papiers du divorce d'une main assurée et elle est partie sans se retourner. Roman Ashford s'attendait à des larmes. Il n'a eu que le silence. Et ce silence, d'une certaine manière, était pire. Pendant trois ans, Seraphina Montague a été la femme discrète à ses côtés. Facile à oublier, pensait-il. Facile à négliger. Il se trompait sur tout. Elle n'a jamais été seulement son épouse. Elle était l'héritière de l'une des familles les plus puissantes du pays. Elle dirigeait des empires dans l'ombre. Elle a sauvé son entreprise en secret alors qu'elle préparait déjà son départ. Aujourd'hui, elle est intouchable, et Roman ne peut détacher son regard d'elle. Il veut la reconquérir. Elle a tourné la page. Il poursuit une femme qui n'a jamais eu besoin de lui. Et plus il découvre qui elle est vraiment, plus il comprend exactement ce qu'il a perdu. Certaines erreurs ne peuvent pas être réparées. Roman Ashford est sur le point de découvrir si elles peuvent, malgré tout, être rachetées.

Seraphina menandatangani surat cerai itu dengan tangan yang mantap, lalu pergi tanpa menoleh ke belakang. Roman Ashford mengira akan ada air mata. Yang dia dapatkan hanyalah keheningan.

Dan diam-diam, dia menyelamatkan perusahaan Roman, tepat saat merencanakan kepergiannya sendiri. Kini, Seraphina menjadi sosok yang tak tersentuh, dan Roman tak bisa berhenti memandanginya. Roman ingin Seraphina kembali. Seraphina sudah melangkah maju. Roman mengejar seorang wanita yang sama sekali tidak membutuhkannya. Dan semakin dia mengenal sosok wanita yang sebenarnya, semakin dia sadar apa yang telah dia sia-siakan. Beberapa kesalahan tak bisa diperbaiki. Roman Ashford akan segera tahu apakah kesalahan itu bisa ditebus.
