Amelia never believed in the legends whispered about the forest. Until one night, beneath the full moon, her eyes met his—eyes that burned gold and promised danger. Shadow isn’t human. But he isn’t a monster, either. He is something ancient. Exiled. Desired. Cursed. He warned her: “I’m a problem you don’t need.” But she had already chosen him. And now… there’s no turning back. In a world where secrets breathe beneath the skin and packs don’t forgive weakness, Amelia and Shadow are fated to burn. Between howls, stolen kisses, and wars whispered in the dark, a forbidden bond awakens—a pull as fierce as it is fatal. A romance as wild as the full moon. A passion that could save them… or consume them both.

In the heart of New York City, where power is traded like gold and ambition can break you, Lily James is caught between two worlds. By day, she’s the epitome of grace, a picture-perfect heiress to the sprawling James family airline empire, bound by a legacy that stifles her every move. By night, under the cover of darkness, she sheds her delicate persona, becoming a fierce and untamed spirit—a woman who longs to break free from the chains of her family’s expectations. Her carefully curated life shatters when she is thrust into an arranged marriage with Vandaulf Claude Carlston, the cold, calculating CEO of Carlston Architectural Firm and ruthless heir to the rival Carlston real estate dynasty. To him, their union is nothing more than a business transaction, a means to strengthen their family empires. He dismisses Lily as fragile and unworthy of respect. But Lily isn't the meek woman he believes her to be—beneath her exterior burns an undeniable fire. At a Halloween party, fate intervenes. Lily, shedding her refined persona for the night, crosses paths with Vandaulf in the form of a bold, liberated woman he cannot resist. Neither knows the true identity of the other, and a night of passionate recklessness ensues. The consequences are shattering—Lily is pregnant. When she reveals the truth, Vandaulf’s response is cruel and devastating. He denies any involvement, accusing her of manipulation and deceit. His cold rejection cuts deeper than she could have imagined, leaving her shattered but resolute. In this world of power, deceit, and dangerous alliances, Lily and Vandaulf must decide: will they allow their differences to tear them apart, or risk everything to uncover the truth? The ultimate question remains: will Vandaulf ever acknowledge Lily's pregnancy as his own, or will their fragile truce crumble forever?

She was back. She is innocent and beautiful. She was intimidated. He was ambitious. He is kind and handsome. He falls in love. In the sultry haze of passion’s fire, Two hearts collided, desire unbridled. Their love, a clandestine affair, Igniting flames that danced and swirled. Amidst tangled sheets and whispered vows, they wove a tale of stolen moments, Each touch a confession, each kiss a plea, To drown in the depths of their shared ecstasy. The moon bore witness to their stolen nights, As they traced constellations on bare skin, Their secrets etched in sweat and sighs, A love forbidden, yet impossible to rescind. But dawn arrived, cruel and unyielding, tearing them apart like fragile petals. Promises whispered, promises broken, Their hearts left bleeding, forever unsettled. And so, they became ghosts of passion, haunted by memories of that steamy affair, Their love a bittersweet ache, a silent confession, In the quiet hours when the world ceased to care. For love, once ignited, never truly dies, It lingers in the shadows, a smoldering flame, A testament to the heat of their stolen nights, A tale of love after a steamy affair, untamed.

Il la plaqua contre le mur, et elle gémit de douleur, ses doigts s’enfonçant dans sa peau nue à la taille. — Qu’est-ce qu’il s’est passé, mi amor ? Tu es blessée ? murmura-t-il de sa voix rauque et étrangement calme. — Qu’est-ce que tu fous ?! Lâche-moi ou je hurle ! tenta-t-elle de se dégager. — Vas-y, hurle. J’adorerais t’entendre crier encore une fois, mi amor, souffla-t-il lentement. Ses yeux à elle s’écarquillèrent. — Qu… qu’est-ce que tu racontes ? balbutia-t-elle, les yeux embués de peur. — Tu pensais qu’épouser mon frère effacerait ce qu’on a fait, toi et moi ? Quelle idiote, ricana-t-il, avant de la tirer brusquement vers lui par la taille. — Non, non, non… cria-t-elle en le repoussant, alors que son esprit la ramenait à cette nuit-là. Il tituba en arrière et éclata de rire. — T’inquiète pas, c’est notre petit secret. À bientôt, Amor, lança-t-il avec un clin d’œil avant de s’éloigner dans le couloir d’un pas majestueux. — Ce n’est pas vrai… Ça ne peut pas être vrai, souffla-t-elle, le visage ravagé par le choc et les larmes. Ses genoux lâchèrent, et elle s’effondra lourdement au sol. • Catherine Baldwin, une jeune femme de vingt ans, a « accidentellement » passé une nuit ivre dans les bras d’un inconnu, deux jours avant son mariage.
