“If I disappeared tomorrow, would you even notice?” Lucien Vale didn't look up from his phone. “Elara, I'm tired. Not everything has to be about you.” She smiled. He didn't know those would be the last words he'd ever say to his wife. After eight years of marriage, Elara has finally accepted the truth: her husband may sleep beside her every night, but he has never truly seen her. His mother despises her. Her own daughter prefers another woman. And now Lucien has agreed to let his first love carry the son his family believes Elara failed to give them. There is just one thing they don't know. Elara is dying. With only six months left, she decides to leave without begging anyone to love her. But fate intervenes. A devastating accident leaves Elara fighting for her life—and the man who saves her looks exactly like her. Then a woman walks into her hospital room, sees Elara, and breaks down. “My baby…” Elara has spent twenty-eight years believing she was unwanted. She is about to discover she was never abandoned. She was stolen. And her real family is one of the most powerful dynasties in the world. Three years later, Elara returns to Aurelia as an heiress, a successful perfumer, and a woman no one can break. Lucien wants his wife back. Her daughter wants her mother. His family wants her forgiveness. But Elara has learned how to live without them. And when Lucien finally asks her to come home, she asks: “Which home, Lucien? The one I left… or the one I built without you?”

"Sign it, Seraphine. Marguerite is waiting." That was the last thing he said to her before the crash. I know because I read it, word for word, on a train that carried me home for the last time. I hated that ending. I cried over a stranger's death and fell asleep cursing the man who let her die. Then I opened my eyes in her bed, with her wedding ring on my finger and her unborn child beneath my palm. "Welcome, Host," a cold voice whispered. "You have ninety days before the plot claims you." Ninety days. One husband who has never loved her. One ending that has already been written in blood. But I know what happens next. I know who smiles at the funeral and who really pulled the strings. And this time, the wife isn't begging. "I want a divorce, Evander." His face goes white. Good. Now he is on his knees in the rain, crying out for the woman he threw away, while she walks away with his heir and no intention of looking back. He wrote me out of his life. I'm rewriting the ending.

Camille Vance was supposed to die that night. After a mission gone horribly wrong, the Shadow Organisation gives its failed agent two choices: disappear forever or accept one final mission. Camille chooses the mission. A new identity. A dangerous family. Three mafia brothers who trust no one. Her orders are simple—enter their world, earn their trust, uncover their secrets, and get out alive. But the deeper Camille goes, the more complicated the game becomes. Every smile could be a lie. Every secret could get her killed. And every move she makes puts another chess piece exactly where she wants it. She thought she was the one playing the game. Until one of the brothers discovers who she really is. And instead of exposing her, he whispers— "How long were you planning to fool us?"

Everyone thinks I killed my sister. When Elizabeth was found dead, the police found my throw knife buried in her chest. Her husband found my earring at the scene. And her killer found me, the jealous younger sister who never had her perfect life, as the perfect cover. I was about to go to prison for a murder I didn't commit. So I did what any desperate twenty-year-old would do. I begged her for help. And woke up the next morning in her body. In her house and in her marriage to Marshall, the same man who stood in court and swore I was the killer. I thought I would have a chance to clear my name before returning to my body, but nothing prepared me for the fact that I would cook, clean, and sleep next to the man who wanted to see me rot in jail. How could I have imagined that my sister lent me her body so I can finish something she started? How much more when it drives my ex, the only man who would recognise me in any skin, back into my life?

Elsa Harper has two problems. The first is blood. The second is Christian Loren. As a brilliant medical researcher, Elsa can spend hours studying deadly viruses without blinking. But put a tray of blood in front of her, and the woman who can solve impossible medical mysteries becomes a trembling disaster. Christian Loren, on the other hand, has no fear of blood. As a newly promoted Army General, he has spent years facing death without hesitation. Dangerously calm, Christian has no time for a doctor who nearly faints at the sight of a syringe. Until the world falls apart. When monstrous creatures suddenly invade the capital and a mysterious virus begins spreading across the country, the military is ordered to protect the scientists searching for a cure. Christian is assigned to lead Elsa's team into the infected territories. Neither of them expects to fall for the other. But somewhere between escaping monsters, sharing stolen moments in abandoned buildings, and fighting to survive another night, Christian begins to see the woman beneath Elsa's fear. And Elsa discovers that behind the General's cold exterior is a man who would risk everything to keep her alive. His arms become her safest place. Her smile becomes the one thing he cannot afford to lose. But the closer Elsa gets to uncovering the truth about the virus, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The monsters aren't attacking by chance. The virus isn't spreading naturally. And Christian may have been sent to protect Elsa for a reason that neither of them knows. As civilization crumbles around them and death closes in from every direction, Elsa and Christian are forced to choose between the mission that could save humanity... and the love that could destroy them both. When the world ends, will they still choose each other?
