He bit his lips in anger, as her hand touched the doorknob, he yelled, no, more like roared, "DANYON!" Nora immediately froze in place. She closed her eyes for a second, fighting back tears. that name--- Noah, seeing her wounded expression, took a deep breath, "Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to--" "Don't," she snarled, haughtily glaring at him. “Don’t you even think about it.” “Nora—" He began to say, but she turned her back on him and stormed out of his office, ignoring the many eyes that followed her. ** Nora Danyon wasn’t supposed to survive the crash that killed her husband and children.

Lihat lebih banyakIn case you didn’t catch the Author’s Note… Before you step into this next scene, I want to let you know that what you’re about to read is not part of Nora and Noah’s main story. This is a sneak peek, a doorway into the next chapter of this universe, a story that has been demanding to be told even while this book was still unfolding. Ava and Max have always existed on the edges. Complicated. Messy. Too stubborn to love, too wounded to admit they want to. And yet… something between them has been simmering beneath every argument, every glare, every accidental moment they shared. This epilogue is where their story begins. I’m offering it here, freely, because I want you, the readers who walked every step with Nora and Noah, to experience the spark before deciding what comes next. If this world should continue… If Max and Ava’s chaos should evolve into a full book… If Uncontracted Desire: Twisted Affection deserves to be born… then your votes and your support will be the decid
Dear Readers,If you made it to this point… thank you. Truly. I don’t take your time, your patience, or your heart for granted. Every comment, every moment you spent following Nora and Noah through their heartbreak, their healing, and their stubborn fight for a second chance ... all of it means the world to me.This story was never just about romance. It was about two people learning to breathe again after being torn apart. It was about forgiveness, the kind that feels impossible, the kind that feels unfair, the kind that still somehow finds its way back home.Writing this book was a joy. There were scenes that tore me open, scenes that healed something in me,. Nora and Noah have lived in my head for so long that letting them go, even a little, feels like saying goodbye to two friends I’ve grown up with.But the beauty of stories is that they never truly end. They leave doors open if you look closely.And that brings me to what comes next. This is not our final goodbye. Not yet.F
ϖϖϖϖϖNora stood still as the final pin was secured into her hair, her breath shallow, not from the nerves, but from the weight of how far she’d come to reach this moment.This wasn’t doubt; it was acknowledgement.She knew this woman in the mirror. She knew the quiet strength in her eyes, the softness earned through loss, and the stability that came from surviving what should’ve broken her.She was getting married again.Not because she needed saving.Not because she was afraid of being loved.But because she had chosen love… again… after grief had tried to teach her otherwise.After Nora had said the big yes, Noah hadn’t wasted a second. He swept her home, made love to her like his life depended on it, and honestly, in the middle of it, she begged for more.If it were possible to get her pregnant again, he would’ve done so without hesitation.Her fingers drifted to the ring on her hand, her chest tightening. Liam.The first man who loved her gently. Who had taught her so much, given
ϖϖϖϖϖThe ride back was silent.Not the awkward kind... no fidgeting, no forced words. Just silence, weighed down by everything that had been said … and everything that hadn’t.Noah drove with one hand on the wheel, the other resting loosely on the gearshift. His eyes stayed on the road, but every so often, they drifted to Nora.Her head was leaning against the window, the city lights sliding across her face in fleeting reflections. She looked calm. Too calm. And he knew better than to believe that.He broke the silence first. “Are you okay?”She didn’t turn. “Define ‘okay.”A faint smile tugged at his mouth. “You were quiet back there. I half expected you to tear her apart.”“I wanted to,” she admitted softly. “But I couldn’t.”That made him glance at her again.“No matter how much I want to be with you,” she continued. “I didn’t want it to come at the cost of your mother.”Noah exhaled, tightening his grip on the wheel. “It wasn’t your fault. She made her choice.”“I know.” Her voic

ϖϖϖϖϖ Ava blinked rapidly, her mouth opening before her brain could catch up. The words had slipped out… loud, careless, and damning. Shit. Her heart slammed against her ribs as she took a slow step back, silently praying she hadn’t said that out loud. But she did and they heard. Noah’s
