21 Minute

I don't know how it happened. One minute I'm living an extremely lonely life and all it takes is getting lost to change all of that. But, change is good, right? Yeah, if you take the fact that I was entrusted with the most adorable little girl as good. Throw in a reunion with a twin brother that I haven't seen in years and a gang of bad boys to the pile and all is peachy keen. As complicated as it seems, there's more. Now, I have to keep a certain mystery boy away from me for my own sake. I have to deal with a brother that thinks these bad boys are his new best friends. And on top of all of that, someone's after me. Forget the fact that this is senior year. Why can't I just be Khloe Mason, an uncoordinated mess of fandoms. Now, I'm The Bad Boy's...What?

"So, what's it going to be, Professor Darwin?" he asked, breathing softly against my ears. "Are you going to punish me or what?" he teased me, his fingers stroking my folds gently. "Fuck you, Jeremy," the cuss word came out thick with moans. "Oh, in a minute," he smirked against my neck, slipping a finger into me and I tossed my head backwards, releasing a wanton sound. Stubborn bastard. •••• Lucia Darwin, in one word, would be a coward but she didn't care. When she saw the perfect opportunity to bolt from her demons and turn the lock on them, she didn't hesitate. Landing the perfect job at Crawford University as a professor and her best friend's wedding seemed like the perfect excuse to flee from Austria. Little did she know that she would have even bigger fish to fry in New York. She had always been a sucker for weddings, but there was an exception. The gorgeous singer who caught her fancy. Maybe the attraction wasn't one-sided because things grew heated after she engaged him in a conversation, and they found themselves buried in each other before the end of the night, sharing a passionate night. What happens at Bethany's wedding, stays at Bethany's wedding, but in Lucia's case, it clung to the hem of her dress like a stubborn seam when she made a shocking discovery that the guy she hooked up with that night happened to be one of her students, Jeremy Hale, Crawford's biggest snub and the hottest boy on campus. A school that frowned upon romantic relationships between teachers and students, a stubborn boy who would do anything to have what he wanted, and a cold-hearted professor whose niche is running away from her problems. The question is, how messy could this get?

“Don’t,” he murmured. “I want you,” I whispered. “This isn’t right, Dianne.” “Why?” “If I let myself keep going… I won’t stop. And I’ll ruin you for the man who already has you.” “Ruin me.” Diana Astor never expected her life to unravel over one reckless night. One minute, she’s a sheltered heiress plotting to escape an arranged marriage. The next, she’s tangled in a fiery, anonymous hookup with a man who makes her feel alive for the first time. But when she discovers her mysterious stranger is Noah Wilson — her soon-to-be stepson — her world spins into chaos. What starts as a one-time mistake quickly becomes an intoxicating affair. Every stolen glance, every forbidden touch threatens to destroy her reputation and the legacy her family built.

Imagine being forced to marry your father’s enemy and bam! He turns out to be your lost lover and the father of your secret baby...   That was exactly Anya Sokolov; 21 years old daughter of a corrupt Russian politician; educated, sharp-tongued, but emotionally neglected.   When her father struck a deadly deal with the Russian Bratva, she became collateral, an unwilling bride for the Vetrov family heir. But Anya had no idea that the groom was 38 years old Nikolia Vetrov, a man she despised and yet longed to see again.   Four years earlier, he had saved her life. And while she was under his protection, she fell for him. They shared a night of passion, but after that he disappeared, abandoned her, and that was when her hatred for him began.   It would have been easier to forget him if she didn’t turn up pregnant weeks later. To protect the future of her unborn child, she kept his existence a secret, even from her own family.   But now he was back, with a Bratva ring, a deadly proposal, and eyes that burned like sin.   To save her father’s empire, she must marry the man who ruined her. The devil with silver hair; He was cold, ruthless and unforgiving.   And when he discovers the child she swore to protect from his world… all hell will break loose.   What happens when the man she should hate becomes the only one who ever truly saw her? And she in turn became his one true obsession.

He is 38, cold, calculated, brutal. A mafia king with blood on his hand and no room for softness in his world. She is 21, reckless, untouched. The forbidden stepsister he never wanted, but now he can’t stop thinking about her. When a contract forces them into marriage meant to protect the family’s legacy, she becomes his most dangerous temptation. He tell himself it’s just duty. She swears she hate him . But the tension between them is a ticking bomb. He’s twice her age. Twice as cruel. And once he claims her, he won’t let go. In a world of gun, power, and unspoken rules, she the only thing he can’t control. And the one thing he’ll burn everything to keep.

Wait a minute? You…you mean you had an accident? And If the child isn’t his, who then is Ethan’s father5?" Alina Carter’s life was torn apart the night she lost everything her savings, her dignity, and almost her life in a car accident. Saved by a mysterious philanthropist and given a fresh start, she rebuilds her world, far from the people who shattered it. But when fate drags her back to New York, working with Damian Blackwood again, she’s unrecognizable literally and emotionally. He doesn’t know she’s the same woman who once shared a passionate night with him, then disappeared, or that the son she’s raising alone, Ethan, shares his eyes and his smile. Damian is drawn to her again, but as their paths cross in the high-stakes world of business. Alina must navigate the line between revenge and healing, while the truth about her son’s paternity lays beneath the surface. With secrets, betrayal, and a love neither of them ever expected, can they overcome the past or will the tangled threads of their fates tear them apart for good?

" You think you can run away from me? In your wildest dreams." A cold smile formed on his lips and every word he uttered exuded power. " Done it once and would do it over again with every breath in me." She replied fearlessly and daringly. A night with her was all it took for him to get insanely obsessed. Her?... She is the discarded daughter of Alpha Rowan, the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, wolfless at 21, no friends since age 1. She's strikingly attractive, enough to make every guy lose his composure. Her curves? It's a definition of perfection. She is Ava Kate. Him?... He is the youngest Alpha King that was ever recorded history, strong, fearful and powerful. He is the moon that glows in the night, appealing but unreachable. He is Alpha Kael Deluca, Alpha of the Blackwood Pack, Ava's worst nightmare. He is her demon and she is his angel,he is a sinner and she is his redemption, He is her poison and she is his antidote. He has chosen a mate but she is his fated mate.

“Stacy…you have to believe me…this was just a one-night thing. You wouldn’t give yourself to me, and I needed… something. It meant nothing, Ana.” His words—they sent shivers down my spine. Shivers of pain, like an arrow, were piercing into my heart. Deep and deep until it was all in. “Y…” Words were caught in my head, and even when I had prepared it in my mind, it still came out silently. Born as the daughter of the Skybound Alpha King, Anastasia Zyaire was born to rule, trained with Luna etiquette, duty, and expectations , but not love. Raised by her parents who saw her as a bargaining chip instead of a daughter. At 21, still unmated, she's summoned to a grand family dinner, only to be told she's to marry a stranger from a rival pack in two weeks. She already gave her heart away. But when she runs to the only man who she thought would save her, she walks in on his betrayal. Broken and drunk at the full moon Fiesta, Anastasia finds herself ranting on a balcony, and falling into the arms of a mysterious stranger whose scent she can't even place. The heat, the touch, the mark…everything feels real. Until the next day. Because the stranger is one of two identical twins…cursed heir of the Dragon Rider Pack. And she’s betrothed to the cold one. Now bound by blood, politics, and secrets, Anastasia must choose between obeying her father’s command or chasing the bond that threatens to destroy everything. One wears the crown. The other marked her soul. And her heart was never meant to survive either.
