Kaia Bennett has spent years proving she belongs on the ice. As the star player of one of the league’s most successful hockey teams, she has the talent, the fame, and the determination to go further than anyone ever expected. Until her stepbrother buys her team. Roman has always believed he knows what is best for Kaia. Now, as the new owner of her team, he expects her to follow his rules, including a contract that could keep her tied to his organization for three years. Kaia refuses. She would rather walk away from everything she has built than let Roman control her career but leaving is easier than starting over. Sponsors turn their backs on her. Investors refuse to help. Players are too afraid to join her. With nothing but her talent and an old training facility, Kaia decides to build a new hockey team from the ground up. Roman thought buying her team would give him control over her future.

“Still thinking about me, even after everything?” Roman asked, his voice low as he studied my face. “Two years of pretending you're happy, and one conversation with me is enough to shake everything you've built.” “I hate you,” I whispered. “No, you don't.” His gaze held mine, unwavering. “You hate that your husband stopped seeing you long ago. You hate that his own brother is the one who reminds you what it feels like to be understood.” He was right, and I hated him for it. --- It should never have been Roman standing beside me, challenging everything I believed about love, loyalty, and marriage. He was reckless, unapologetic, and everything I should have stayed away from. He was also my husband's brother. Yet somehow, one conversation with him was enough to unravel two years of silence, disappointment, and carefully hidden pain. He saw the woman I had become beneath the weight of a marriage that had long since lost its warmth. I should have walked away the night he found me sitting alone on that couch. Instead, I let him into my world. And Roman Clarke had no intention of leaving it unchanged. Some secrets can destroy a family. Some truths can shatter a marriage. And some forbidden connections force you to choose between the life you've promised to protect and the life you've always deserved.

At her husband's funeral, Evangeline Thorn should be grieving. Instead, she's plotting murder. Daniel Harrow died in a building collapse that killed seventeen workers—a collapse Evangeline believes was caused by his older brother's criminal negligence. Nathaniel Harrow is everything Daniel wasn't: ruthless, powerful, and dangerously magnetic. He built a billion-dollar empire on corruption, and Evangeline is certain he killed his own brother to secure control of the family fortune. She should hate him. She does hate him. So why does she show up at his penthouse the night of the funeral? What begins as a violent seduction becomes a twisted game of psychological warfare. Evangeline will gather evidence, destroy Nathaniel's empire, and make him pay for every life he's taken. But Nathaniel has been obsessed with her since the day she married his brother—and he's been waiting for her to make the first move. As they circle each other like predators, secrets unravel: the surveillance he's kept on her for years, the pregnancy that could belong to either brother, the betrayals that run deeper than murder. In this deadly game of revenge and obsession, the only question is: who will destroy whom first? Or will they destroy each other?

I had believed the man I married loved me. After giving birth to our son through an emergency C-section, I returned home expecting tenderness, a wedding date, and the happy family Edward had promised me. Instead, he treated me like an inconvenience. Then I overheard the conversation that shattered everything. The woman who had lived under our roof as Edward’s mother was not his mother at all. She was Celine—the woman he truly wanted to marry. Worse, Edward had never intended to make me his wife. Our private marriage was a carefully designed lie, complete with a fake lawyer and a hidden surrogacy arrangement. They had wanted me to carry their baby, keep funding their lifestyle as the family’s breadwinner, and disappear once I had served my purpose. They had mistaken my love for stupidity. Then Edward’s billionaire rival came into my life. Elliot Dylan. His half-brother. His greatest enemy. The ruthless CEO taking control of the empire Edward desperately wanted. When Elliot offered me a multimillion-dollar business deal, I saw more than money. I saw my doorway to revenge. But Elliot refused to become my fake husband. Or so I thought. Because when danger suddenly came for me and my baby, Elliot was the one who crossed cities to protect us. For the first time, I saw the man behind the billionaire’s cold exterior and my carefully built walls began to crack. Then I discovered the attack might have been only the beginning. His next words left me frozen. “Luna, if this marriage is only an act for you, tell me now… because I don't think I can pretend anymore.” And suddenly, the revenge I had carefully planned was no longer the only thing I stood to lose.
