Clara Whitaker spent years loving Dominic Ashford, believing that patience, sacrifice, and forgiveness could save their marriage. She endured forgotten anniversaries, lonely nights, broken promises, and a husband who always had time for his business empire but never enough time for her. Dominic believed providing her with a luxurious life made him a good husband. He never imagined that the woman who welcomed him home every night could one day walk away without looking back. But Clara finally chose herself. She divorced him, abandoned the Ashford name, and rebuilt her life from the ground up. Two years later, she is no longer the forgotten wife. She is a successful architect and the founder of her own company, with a future she created without him. Then fate brings them together again. When Clara’s firm competes for a prestigious Ashford Group project, Dominic comes face-to-face with the woman he lost.

The revenge would be written in blood. Julian wanted me gone? Now he’ll have to watch me rise—and learn exactly who he betrayed.

HIS FORBIDDEN SURROGATE BRIDE  - Romance novels & stories
Geena writes
“I'll give you everything you want in this world, just carry my child.” “What are you saying?” Anastasia asked, lips quivering with shock. “I’m saying, be Mrs. Moretti again, be my wife, and carry my child.” ************************ Anastasia’s perfect life turned out to be a sham after she found her husband cheating on her with his secretary and lost her child. But instead of remorse, her husband blamed her for it and stole her father’s company from her. This filled Anastasia with hate. She promised to make him bleed and pay him back in his own coin, but she had been swindled out of her family’s fortune and could only ask people for help. The only person who offered was her ex–brother-in-law. She knew the only person who could dare go against her ex-husband was his half-brother, so she agreed. But he had only one condition: she had to carry his child, and it had to happen within a year. “We just have to sleep together during your fertile window, and the moment you carry my child, we are done.” That was the agreement, but it wasn’t that simple. As the fire of revenge burned through Anastasia wanting to destroy her ex husband, she found herself burning for her ex-husband’s brother. But she didn’t want that, because behind the man’s cold demeanor lay a secret she couldn’t handle.
