Dear husband I can live without you
I want a divorce.”
Andy blinked. “Divorce? You’re joking.”
But Anna wasn’t smiling. “No, Andy. I’m done. I won’t share a roof with you and your mistress.”
Andy scoffed. “Be serious, Anna. You can’t live without me. You need me.”
Anna’s smile turned deadly. “Oh, you think so?”
She stepped closer, her voice sharp as a dagger. “Watch me, dear husband. I can live without you.”
***
She walked away with nothing—except her pride.
When Anna Roberts discovers her husband has moved his mistress into their home, she makes the boldest decision of her life: divorce. With only her son and her dignity, she steps into an unfamiliar world determined to start over.
Mocked for her weight, underestimated by everyone—including herself—Anna transforms her pain into power. She works, she fights, and she rebuilds. Soon, she’s no longer the woman Andy could belittle… she’s the woman he’ll never deserve again.
But then there’s Gerald Smith.
Her powerful, disciplined boss. The man who never mixes business with pleasure.
Until Anna.
What begins as temptation spirals into something dangerous—something forbidden. Gerald knows one wrong step could ruin them both, but walking away from Anna might destroy him more.
Anna thought her divorce was the end of her story.
But it was only the beginning.

Chapter: EPILOGUEA YEAR LATER. “I can't believe this is truly happening,” Gerald whispered into Anna's ear, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine as his arms wrapped around her waist from behind. “Me too,” Anna murmured, a smile lighting up her face as she stared at her reflection in the full-length mirror. Her white wedding gown clung to her in all the right places, flowing gracefully to the floor. She felt like a queen, a goddess, a woman who had finally come home to herself. Gerald’s face was a picture of unrestrained joy. His blue eyes shimmered like morning stars piercing through dawn, and Anna felt heat rise to her cheeks. Her heart fluttered, skipping beats like a song with a missing chord. “You look so beautiful,” Gerald said softly, pressing a tender kiss to the nape of her neck. “Thank you,” she whispered, the pink creeping across her cheeks like a sunrise over a calm lake. “Somebody’s blushing…” he teased, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

Every nerve in his body screamed at him: Don’t let her go, don’t let her disappear again.Anna’s lips curved into that soft, radiant smile he knew too well, the one that had haunted his dreams for years. Every memory, every longing, came rushing back in a violent, intoxicating wave. Her voice, that warmth, that familiar gentleness… it was all real. She was alive.Penelope’s heels clattered against the marble as she stumbled, frozen in shock. Her eyes widened like a cornered animal. “No… no… this can’t be,” she whispered, shaking her head violently. “Anna… Anna is dead. She… she can’t have survived that fire!”Anna’s chuckle cut through the room, cool and sharp, carrying a weight of satisfactio

Everything felt slow and sluggish in Andy Roberts’ house, as though the cold itself had seeped into the walls. Andy made breakfast for the family—toast, eggs, a bit of steak. The smell filled the dining room. Penelope sat quietly, picking at her meal, while Andy tried to shake off the heaviness in his chest. Aiden eventually shuffled downstairs, bundled in his little pajamas, rubbing sleep from his eyes. But he didn’t touch his food. Andy frowned and lowered his fork. “What’s the problem, boy?” Aiden shook his head slowly. His tiny shoulders drooped, and his sad eyes lifted to Andy’s face. “I don’t want to eat,” he murmured. “I want to go to the park.” “What?” Andy’s fork clattered against his plate.

The Wolfless Luna
Seraphina Wilson was born to be a Luna, but fate had other plans. Marked as wolfless, she was betrayed by the two people she trusted most—her younger sister, Zara, and her fiance, Ethan. Their affair had been a secret for years, and when the truth came to light, Seraphina lost everything. Her family turned on her, stripping her of dignity and forcing her into servitude while Ethan proudly took Zara as his bride.
But destiny wasn’t done with Seraphina.
When the formidable Lycan Prince of Arcadia arrives at the Wilson estate with an offer—one that would change her life forever—Seraphina takes a leap of faith. In his kingdom, she finds freedom, strength, and something she never expected: a second chance at love.
Yet, shadows and enemies lurking in the dark refuse to let her go. As danger closes in, Seraphina must decide—will she rise and reclaim her power, or remain the broken woman they tried to make her?
Her fate is no longer in their hands. It never was.

Thought the word had slipped from his mouth by accident, like a blade drawn too quickly from its sheath. "Seraphina." The sound of it rang in her ears, loud and merciless. He turned his head slightly, as if studying her reaction, then reached for her hands. His touch was careful. Soft. Almost reverent. The same hands that had once banished her now trembled faintly against her skin. “I have always known you are Seraphina,” he said, smiling slowly. “You did well to conceal your identity, Princess.” Her lashes fluttered. Once. Twice. Her heart slammed so hard against her ribs it felt like it might shatter them. Not in a thousand years had she expected this. Her disguise had been layered with ancient magic. Her scent had been suppressed. Her eye color altered. Her aura dampened until even the most sensitive wolves could not sense her. Yet here he stood. Looking at her like

Today, they would finalize the counterattack against the vampire clan.Steel goblets clinked softly. Silk robes whispered as bodies shifted.

Accidentally Head Over Heels
Honey Mariah Owens thought heartbreak had already taken everything from her.
After her boyfriend steals her savings, destroys her dreams, and disappears with another woman, Honey is left drowning in debt, family responsibilities, and a future that suddenly feels impossible to reach. Her once-promising fashion career is gone, her father’s medical bills are piling up, and hope feels like a luxury she can no longer afford.
Then one drunken night changes everything.
Dragged to a nightclub by her best friend for a reckless “heartbreak cure,” Honey meets Jayson Kingsley—heir to one of the most powerful families in Spring Hills, CEO of Spring Hills Oils.
Rich. Dangerous. Infuriatingly handsome.
Jayson is completely convinced she is someone else.
Nichole Solange Sinclair.
The missing daughter of a powerful political family.
The woman he was supposed to marry.
A woman who looks exactly like Honey.
When Jay realizes Honey is not Nichole, he offers her a deal that could save her family and destroy her heart—pretend to be Nichole until the real one is found, and in return, he will give her enough money to change her life forever.
One fake identity.
One contract marriage.
One man she was never supposed to love.
But as Honey is pulled deeper into a world of wealth, secrets, and dangerous family expectations, pretending becomes harder… especially when Jay starts falling for the woman behind the lie.
And just when Honey begins to believe she might finally deserve happiness, the real Nichole returns.
Same face.
Same name.
Now Honey must decide whether to walk away from the man she loves... or fight for a place in a world that was never meant to be hers.
Because some love stories begin with one beautiful mistake.And some are powerful enough to last forever.

She had stayed up late the night before, combing through every drawer and closet in Nichole’s room, hunting for any clue that might explain why they looked like identical twins. Nothing turned up. Frustrated and drained, she had finally collapsed into bed.Honey freshened up quickly and slipped into a comfortable lounge set. By the time she reached the dining room, the whole family was already seated at the elegant table, waiting for her. The polished scene felt like a dream compared to the constant struggles of her own family back home.“Good morning, everyone,” Honey said with a bright smile as she entered. She leaned down and hugged Grandma Nana tightly.Nana pecked her on the cheek. “How was your night, darling?”“Beautiful,” Honey replied, smiling as she took the seat right next to Nana.

Liam stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her. “Don’t ever do this to us again.” “Never again, Dad,” Honey said with a small smile. God. They really think I’m Nichole. For one brief moment, the warmth in their voices made something twist painfully inside her. They loved their daughter. That much was obvious. It wasn’t forced. It wasn’t for show. It wasn’t the kind of cold, performative affection rich families displayed in public and forgot in private. It was real. And standing in the middle of it, wearing another woman’s face and name, Honey suddenly felt a wave of guilt press hard against her chest. She had expected arrogance. Distance. Maybe even cruelty. Not this. Not parents who looked at her like they had just gotten their whole world back. “

The soft sway of her hips as she moved in and out of the changing room.Honey was different.Even the way she walked was different from Nichole.That might be a problem, Jay thought.Finally, Honey stepped out of the dressing room again.

He narrowed his eyes, studying Jayson’s face like a man trying to place a half-remembered ghost. “You look familiar,” he muttered. Jay turned his head slightly, just enough to shift out of the direct light. Honey caught the subtle move and understood immediately. He didn’t want her uncle connecting the dots—that this was the governor’s son standing in a hospital room with his broke, disheveled niece. Erick stood there a second longer, brows furrowed. The resemblance nagged at him. He looks like the governor’s kid. But then he shook his head, dismissing the thought. Nah. No way a man like that would be mixed up with my sorry-ass niece.

The image was burned into my brain. Why him? Out of all the men in this city, why did she pick Isaac to be her dirty little secret? What the hell was so special about that man? My blood ran hot with rage. What she’d done was unforgivable. Avery had lost her baby because of her. Patricia. What a piece of work. A real queen of mischief. I could almost hear the sarcastic clap echoing inside my head. What else do you have hiding up your sleeve, Mom?
