It will be perfect to have Faith there. Maybe she can help out. I’ve really missed having her around.After I left Kenya, she became a nanny to a US Ambassador, who ended up going home. I’d thought I’d have to go back to Kenya to see Faith.After moving back to Georgia, I got my own place in Blue Mountain, but then I ended up spending most of my time in Atlanta at the company so I bought a condo in a high rise, the same building where Weston and Callie have a place for when he has to work at the main office.I hate working at the Keith Enterprise headquarters and would prefer to work from Blue Mountain. But for now, that doesn’t seem to be possible.I take a seat at a table, and Jenni and Langston sit with me.Jenni leans across the table in a conspiratorial way. “We want to know who you were texting just now.”“What makes you think I was texti

Chapter: Book 6: chapter 50EPILOGUE Brensen Six months later Langston’s house is packed when I get there for his engagement party. Everyone is out in the backyard surrounding the grill, sitting out at tables spread across the lawn beneath maple trees that are bright orange and red. It’s still not that cold outside, but this is Georgia, after all. It never gets much of a winter to begin with. It’s more like fall slowly turns into spring with a few chilly days in between. Still, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the seasons changing. Kenya doesn’t get much of a fall. Powell is manning the grill, stacking up piles of chicken legs, hamburgers, hot dogs, brats, and steaks. There’s a table laden with food, including potato salad, coleslaw, green salad, baked beans, and a variety of desserts. Knowing Powell’s cooking, it’s probably all delicious too. “You sure know how to throw a shindig,” I tell Langston when I come up to him where he’s standing by his new fiancée. She’s holding a bundle in her arms. “Is t

Chapter: Book 6: chapter 49“But it’s so much more fun when you do.” It’s true too. I’m all about hearing about other people’s love lives.“Which never happens,” Langston says. “That makes me think he’s hiding something.”Brensen only smiles bigger. “Oh, man. This is fun. It’s been ages since we just sat here at Harvey’s shooting the breeze.”Dolores shows up with our food and takes Ronnie and Brensen’s orders.I dig into my chicken sandwich while Brensen tells us all about Kenya. “I want to start a nonprofit over there to help all the poverty-stricken children there.”“Hey, me too,” I pipe up. “I was just saying I want to start an orphanage in India. Maybe we could have one in Kenya too.”“I know some people who could help make that happen,” Brensen says. “But it looks like Dad wants me to come back here and work for the company.”“Is that the real reason you’re back?” Langston asks.“Yep. But I did want to see you two love birds too. Even if you are completely nauseating.”“So it’s not just me then?” Ronnie th

Everyone in town could see the chemistry between you. You should have heard the knitting club going on about how Langston gave the purse money to his true love. They’ll be talking about that for years. They say the footage of it went viral. You got any big plans of what to do with the cash?”“Actually, I do,” I say.Langston turns to me. “Really? I hadn’t heard this part.”“That’s because I haven’t told anyone yet.”“Well, let’s hear it. You’ve got me curious now,” Dolores says.“I want to start a charity for foster children with it.”“Jenni, that’s incredible,” Langst

I’m surprised he can run that fast with such a huge belly. You’d think he’d get rug burn from it dragging on the ground.” I step on my tiptoes to kiss Langston.“Mmm. I can get used to this.”“I hope you don’t,” I say.“What?” Langston furrows his brow.“I hope this always feels fresh and new. Just like it does today.”Langston smiles.My heart flutters. “You don’t know what your smile does to me, do you?”That makes his grin grow even wider. “No, tell me all about it.”I trace a finger across his chest. “It makes me go weak at the knees, my breath catches in my throat, and my head starts to float.”“Your head floats?” Langston laughs. “Sounds like one of those campfire stories Hayden likes so much.”I smack his chest, which is so rock hard it hurts my hand. “Ow.” I rub it. “You know what I mean.”“I do, actually. Because I feel the same way. Floating

In front of everyone.”My heart freezes for a moment. “Was that not okay?”She smiles. “Langston, it was more than okay. I wasn’t sure if you would still want me after you found out I couldn’t have kids.”“Of course I want you. Being with you is the most important thing to me. Children can come in whatever way you want, whether that’s adopting or fostering or just having Hayden. He’s plenty.”“But you said you want a whole house full of kids.” Her voice is small when she says it.“That can be a house full of foster kids. Or kids we adopt. But the main part of this dream is to have you with me. I love you, Jenni Finely, and that will never change.”“You really mean that?”“Of course I do.”“I love you too, Langston,” she says.“So what does that mean for us?” I ask.She reaches out and takes my hand

Married Off To The Merciless Mafia King
“Dad What do you mean, you sold me to the Russian mob?”
Ana never thought her father capable of betrayal, but the truth hits harder than she ever imagined. Sold to New York’s most feared Bratva boss, Dmitri Orlov, Ana’s life turns into a waking nightmare.
Dmitri is a man whispered about in dark alleys—a ruthless crime lord with a reputation carved in blood. With his sharp suits, chilling smile, and a voice that can command armies, he’s the very definition of danger. And now, he owns Ana.
Their arrangement is simple: she’s the price her father paid, and Dmitri has no intention of letting her forget it. Cold and calculating, he’s determined to use Ana to exact his revenge. But there’s a darker, more complicated truth behind Dmitri’s anger. The beast with a soul as black as midnight has a weakness—and it’s her.
Every heated touch, every possessive growl, chips away at Ana’s defenses. Despite her fear, she starts to see glimpses of the man behind the monster, the one who wants to claim her not just in body, but in soul. But falling for Dmitri was never part of the plan, especially when she discovers she’s carrying his child.
Now Ana’s running for her life, caught between her father’s betrayal and Dmitri’s wrath. But there’s one thing she can’t escape—the fact that no matter how far she goes, she belongs to him. And Dmitri will stop at nothing to bring his wife—and his heir—home.
Because in their world, “till death do us part” isn’t just a vow—it’s a warning.

Chapter: Book 5: Epilogue 2I was grateful.Andrei’s face creased with worry. “Are you okay?”I drifted back to the presence and nodded. “I just thought of Dad. I mean, isn’t it funny how I was able to meet you because of the shipment he hid?”“Tell me about it. You think Peter had this all mapped out before he died?” Andrei asked with a playful grin. “That he wanted me to meet you?”I shrugged. “He was a genius. It’s not completely out of the box. He worked with you, so he must’ve known how great of a person you are.”Andrei chuckled. “Your father watched me murder men in cold blood a few times. There is no way he would have wanted a man like me for his daughter.”I looked him straight in the eyes and corrected him. “Every father wants a man who would love and protect their daughter. You’re all of those things, and I’m sure he would have approved.”Even if Mom hadn’t been a fan of it at first, she’d adjusted pretty well.Andrei took my hands and kissed the back of my palm. “And I promise to always love and prot

Andrei was the moment; because of him, I could live happily and smile freely again, something I never thought I would experience after Dad died.I stared blankly at the wall above me and sighed. “Yes, Mom. It’s my twenty-third birthday in an hour, and the only company I have is an empty house.”It was the first time I’d ever been home alone for a while now. Andrei made it a duty to always come ho

Chapter: Book 5: chapter 57“I think we need to celebrate.” She leaned in and whispered. “Let’s sneak away from here.”I took her hand in mine. “Come with me.”She squinted. “Where are we going?”“You’ll see.”I led her to the rooftop of the building, closing the door behind us to avoid any interruptions and burying the noise of the chaos below.The rooftop was quiet, and the city stretched out before us, a glittering expanse of lights and movement. The night breeze was cool, carrying with it the distant sounds of cars racing down the street.Giselle stood beside me, her hands covered in mine as she admired the full moon and the bed of stars in the sky.Our fingers grazed, and it felt like the entire world had been set ablaze, the heat licking through my veins and the air cracking with a jolt of tension.The weird feeling in my chest intensified, and my pulse raced. It was a reminder of what she meant to me—what I’d just discovered she meant to me.I watched her, something in my chest fluttering as I admired how

Different in many ways yet similar in more than one.And at this table, every card we tossed was a matter of our pride.

Chapter: Book 5: chapter 55I wrapped my arms around his neck, reveling in the heat seeping from his body and into mine as he carried me to our room.His throat bobbed as he swallowed hard, his body pressing against mine and enveloping me with warmth.We barely made it past the bedroom door when I shifted from the position in one fluid motion, wrapping my legs around his hips and tracing his lips with mine.His arm snaked around me, and one of his hands slid under my swimsuit, finding my bare breast and cupping it.I raked my fingers through his hair and kissed him. It was a hot, searing, primal kiss that evoked something deeper than lust from both of us. It was need, mixed with deep yearning.He deepened the kiss, dragging his thumb across my nipple and twisting it lightly.I moaned into his mouth, bucking when I felt his erection poke against my sex, and ground against him, desperate to ease the throbbing between my thighs.He slid a hand through my thong and cupped my sex, and then, fisting the thong, he ripp

He hadn’t just grown more protective; he’d become even more possessive and jealous as well. It was cute to see. “You know they’ve been watching me swim every day for weeks now, right?”“Well, they’re not allowed to watch you swim anymore. No man is allowed to watch you swim beside me.”I huffed. He’d just saved me from having to discuss the bodyguard situation. “How was work today, husband?”“I had a couple of meetings with thePakhanand a couple of members of the Bratva.

Revenge On My Ex, Accidentally In Bed With A Billionaire
What’s worse than catching your boyfriend cheating?
Falling into bed with a billionaire to get revenge… and ending up pregnant.
*****
Daphne thought the worst part of her week was walking in on her boyfriend tangled up with someone else.
she was wrong.
The real humiliation? Facing them both the very next day at her art exhibition—with the other woman on his arm.
As if curating the biggest show of her career wasn’t stressful enough, now she’s stuck smiling through the pain while her ex flaunts betrayal in front of billionaires and buyers who could make or break her future.
But when her ex gets a little too smug, and the crowd watches a little too closely, Daphne makes a snap decision.
She grabs the nearest man.
Kisses him like she means it.
And pretends she didn’t just burn every bridge behind her.
Only… the man she uses to deliver her revenge?
He’s pasha. Reclusive billionaire. Art-world kingmaker. And the man about to drop five million dollars at the auction.
One night with him was supposed to be reckless and forgettable.
It turns out to be unforgettable—for all the wrong reasons.
Because weeks later, Daphne’s world tilts again.
She’s pregnant. And the baby’s father is a man who’s never let anyone close… and isn’t used to losing control.
Now she’s caught in a dangerous game of secrets, desire, and consequences—where love was never part of the plan, but fate has other ideas.
And the closer Pasha gets, the harder it becomes to remember who used who first.
He gave her one night. She gave him an heir.
But what happens when the fallout costs more than they’re both willing to pay?

Chapter: chapter 95With that, I scoop her up in my arms. She screams and a foot flies out to send the tray of unbaked pierogies clattering to the ground, but I don’t give a shit.Fuck the pirog. I’ll order pizza later.Food isn’t what I’m hungry for, anyway.“You, Daphne, are everything I have ever wanted. Everything I never knew I needed.”I pause here and there along the way to taste Daphne’s sweet mouth. She lets me sweep my tongue past her lips and claim her again and again.“Pasha…”“Hush.” I slowly trail more kisses along her jaw to her ear. “Be my good girl. Let me show you everything I love about you.”When we reach the bedroom, peeling off her leggings takes no time at all. I hook my thumbs in the waistband of her panties, too, and nip her soft skin when I see how wet she already is for me.It’s so tempting to stay down here, to taste her pussy and make her cling to my head to stop from levitating off the bed.But I have other plans.When I stand back up, I turn her around so her back faces me

Chapter: chapter 94PASHAI love coming home to the sound of Daphne’s laughter.I hate knowing I’m about to ruin it.“Pasha!” My mother wipes her hands on her apron and nudges Daphne toward me. “I hope you’re in the mood for pierogi. We’re trying to find comfort foods that agree with her tummy.”“Solyanka sounded amazing until we popped the can of brined pickles,” Daphne explains as she slips into my arms, wrapping her own around my waist. It’s getting a little more challenging to do now that her womb is growing.I give my mother a look over the top of Daphne’s head and murmur in Russian, “I need to speak to Daphne.”Mama, to her credit, doesn’t press for details. She shucks her apron, kisses Daphne on the cheek, and slips away.Daphne watches in confusion, saying nothing until we’re alone. Then she turns to me with a hesitant eyebrow raised. “Is something wrong?”I sigh. “Brittany Cleary paid me a visit today. In my office. In what was basically themed lingerie.”Daphne stiffens. Her face falls. “Oh.”F

And to him, Daphne is his new sister.He just might do it.Brittany all but ignores him. “Per the contract Chekhov International holds with Cleary Consulting, every department is assigned a liaison and general representative. It has come to our attention that the C-Suite was overlooked in recent restructuring. I’m here to resolve that.”Sofi arches a brow. “So resolve it, and get the fuck out. Send someone else.”“Unfortunately, I can’t do that.” The way she says it is so patronizing, like Sofi is some naive child. “There’s no one as qualified as me to handle the rigorous demands of the corporate level. It would be a gross disservice to leave you with someone less than adequate.”Brittany eyes me like I’m something on the menu she’s about to order.But i

Now, can we talk about Mama and this Arlo asshat?”Sofi rolls her eyes. “Mama is allowed to love her own life, you know. That includes boyfriends, lovers, one-night?—”“Ew. No. Fuck that.”“I think that’s his idea, yes.”Mak turns a light shade of green at the thought. “Nope. Not with that guy. Who the hell is he, anyway?”She sighs and swipes through her phone to pull up files. I’d bet a testicle she has everything from the guy’s birth certificate to the location of his prepaid burial plot.“Arlo Fedorov, fifty-eight years old. Russian national. Got married to Sasha Moskowitz Federov only two years after Otets and Mama got married. Three kids, all healthy. Wife is dead, though. Passed five years ago from ovarian cancer.”I take in every detail, my mind scrambling to fill in the blanks. “Can we trust him?”“We can trust hi

Breathing around her seems to give her the wrong impression, despite our last discussion. “I can read for myself.”She clicks her tongue, but slaps the papers into my hand. I could write her up for insubordination, but I have only myself to blame here. It’s my fault for making her think attitude would get her bent over my desk with my handprint on her ass.Those days are long behind us. The mere thought now makes me sick to my stomach.The door to my office opens again. By the sounds of huffing and more tongue-clicking, my sister and assistant are now staring each other down.“Put some fucking clothes on,” Sofi snaps at her.Paris scoffs. “You wouldn’t know fashion if it was sewn onto you.”“I know a slut when I see one.

Chapter: chapter 90Instead, I am lovingly ordered to stay off my feet, then smothered in equally loving hugs and kisses to my face.“I like you already,” remarks a man with a thick handlebar mustache whom Asya introduces as her cousin. To Asya, he says, “Clearly, she is a clever woman! Smart and witty! Who else could get that son of yours to settle down?”“It’s true,” chimes in another cousin, an older woman busy untying her silk scarf from around her head. “We were all convinced our Pasha would never meet someone who could handle his, how you say…”“Stubborn ass?” Sofi offers.The family descends into a cacophony of conversation as they settle into their seats, handing Asya beautifully wrapped gifts and thick cards. I feel somewhat embarrassed at how small mine is compared to everyone else’s. Maybe no one will notice.After a few more minutes of listening to the family shift between English and Russian with ease, I feel a familiar presence slip in behind me and take the adjacent seat.“You look beautif
