LOGINTARA A family practice forces me to run away from home, leaving me disgraced and my family in shame. Just when I start making new friends, someone threatens to expose who I am and the person behind my nom de plume. The condition— a contract marriage, the very same reason I fled from. So, what’s so different this time? Mad Shanewood— the achingly handsome, with waving red flags, an irrefutable passion, or a magnetic attraction? With my secrets still haunting me, now the whole world is watching, and our delicately fragile public image is at stake. After a glimpse beneath his shallow exterior, there is a damaged soul who makes me feel as if I’m everything to him. And how is it that the one thing I never wanted has me fighting so hard to keep? *** MAD I always get the deal done until my recklessness has thrown the company into a tailspin, derailing my path to a billion-dollar project. With my image under brutal public scrutiny, marriage is my last straw. Tara Montimer not only intrigues me. She’s selfless, kind-hearted, and sexy as hell. And something deep in her eyes makes me question if I’m worthy to be her husband. For me, it seems that it’s not just fixing my reputation anymore— the entrancing deposed princess didn’t only steal my breath away. She penetrates the protective wall around my heart that I built for years. Our goals may be aligned. But then there’s a disapproving father who is a King, a law, and constant threats that prevent us from getting married. Will this razor-thin edge arrangement be enough to fix what’s been broken, or is something between us worth fighting for?

I knew what he meant. “You were at the masquerade ball and later on, at Sawyer Porter’s party. And the next morning, your face was all over the internet.” “I wish people knew about the ball rather than the birthday party.” I stood up and shook his hand. “How’s Lex?”“Lex is great. We should catch up this weekend. I’ll allow you to win.” He smirked. Lex always won the golf.“I’ll look into my schedule.” “He’s famous,” Robyn said, hugging me. “You should try his omelet.” “Yeah. It’s the best.” Spade looked at Linden. “Make him an omelet and convince him to join the club.” “I’m planning to, without my omelet.” He smiled and kissed Robyn on the cheek. “How are you, Robyn?” “I’m good, thanks.” She took her husband’s hand. “Let’s go, babe. I think they have important matters to talk about.” “See you soon, both of you. Tell your parents I said hi.”Smiling, I nodded at him. Once the c
MAD When Nites informed me that the woman I picked to be my wife had just arrived at my penthouse, I was nervous and excited at the same time. Don’t get me wrong, I was still pissed at my father, but I wouldn’t allow him to win and take over my position, the same position he offered to me three years ago. I wasn’t perfect. I doubted if I was even a good person, but I tried my best to be a good son. In return, all I got was judgment and scrutiny from the people I didn’t know and had never met. But when there was wealth and power in you, and being Vanderford and Shanewood, apparently, everyone had their own opinion about you. The woman talking to Vysper had a soft, calming voice, as if she were used to conversing with a lot of important people. I hadn’t seen her face, yet her voice alone sounded lovely already. And awfully familiar. She was standing, and I could tell she was of average height compared to most of the women I preferred. She had long, wavy caramel hair, cascading dow
TARAI twisted and turned in bed for hours as I couldn’t shake the thought of the threat out of my head. Knowing it came from Alessia, I knew she would do it in a heartbeat. I got up from bed and sat in my kitchen in front of my laptop for two hours, trying to write an outline. Every time I put my fingers on the keys, I came up with nothing. All I could think of was my face flashing over the internet with a horrible headline and vile comments on social media.I still ended up with nothing. I finally grew tired of staring at the black page and yawned at three in the morning. I barely slept and woke up with anxiety. Here, I was back to work, trying to squeeze the idea out of my head for another commentary. As they say, easy peasy lemon squeezy. I finished it within an hour, proofread, and submitted it to my boss. But when it came to my next book, I got nothing. I didn’t even believe in writer’s block, but right now, it felt like it. I checked the time on the screen. The 24-hour ultim
MADAs I scanned the familiar faces in the conference room, landing last at my father, it took me seconds to realize that they had started the meeting without me. I checked the time on my watch. I was five minutes early. Like always, I had never been late to work or a meeting, and it suddenly concerned me. “Glad you’re here now,” my father addressed my presence formally. “Take a seat.” “Why do I feel like I’m a guest here instead of the CEO of this company?” In protest, I remained standing across from my father before the board members. “What’s going on?” “I didn’t know either,” my assistant Ali whispered. “I’m sorry, sir.” “It’s not your fault,” I assured her that her job was safe. My father’s assistant, Vanessa Dylan, placed today’s newspaper issue before me. “That’s why we’re here early,” my father said firmly, staring right into my eyes. I didn’t have to check to know that my face was on the front page and all over the internet again, like I’d been for the last two months.
