Alma Coin Hunger Games

Rocco Falcone, le Don de la famille Falcone et mon soi-disant mari, m'a raccroché au nez pour ce qui m'a semblé être la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième fois. Après avoir reçu un diagnostic de leucémie, j'ai traîné mon corps ravagé jusqu'au cabinet de l'avocat de la famille. « Je viens pour le divorce », ai-je dit. … Quand Rocco l'a appris, il est arrivé dix minutes plus tard avec ma famille. À peine est-il entré qu'il m'a giflée. « Tu as utilisé la ligne d'urgence juste pour gâcher la grande soirée de Sofia ? Tu es devenue folle ? », a-t-il crié. Lily Marone, ma mère, m'a arraché le diagnostic des mains et l'a parcouru rapidement. Elle a laissé échapper un rire méprisant. « Tu as encore fait semblant d'être malade pour attirer l'attention ? Combien de mensonges as-tu racontés depuis que tu es enfant, Claire ? » Sofia Moretti tenait le bras de Rocco, les larmes aux yeux. « Pardonne-moi, Claire. Je n'aurais pas dû accepter ce poste. S'il te plaît, arrête de te faire du mal… et de faire du mal à Rocco. » J'ai essuyé le sang au coin de ma bouche, puis je me suis tournée de nouveau vers l'avocat. « Je n'avais plus de famille. Veuillez accélérer la procédure de divorce. J'ai besoin que tout soit réglé avant ma crémation, dans trois jours. »

"You think I'll let you go, sweetheart?” He caught the gun from her effortlessly and spun her in his arms, holding her captive once again as he chuckled into her ear, tilting her chin up with the barrel of the gun. “I clipped your wings for a reason. There’s no way back once you enter my world.” *** When an unfortunate incident in the family brings Matsyaa Rathore into the land of the royals, the last thing she expects is catching the eye of the notorious crown prince and becoming his untamed fantasy. His obsession has turned her life into a nightmare. Control slips out of her hands and she finds herself trapped in twisted games of power. To end this madness, she does everything to resist him, challenge him and fight him. Just about all she must not be doing. They say Ranvijay Singh Raghuvanshi is God for his people, and this time, the ‘God’ wants Matsyaa—all for himself. Amidst building tension and deep-rooted hatred, will Matsyaa be able to free herself from the dangerous royals, or will Ranvijay capture her for the rest of her life in his mystical lair?

BLURB “You look so hot,” he whispered, his hand wrapped like silk around my hair and his movements fast and uncontrollable, his pace matching that of his brother’s thrusting in and out of me, “getting stuffed in all holes.” Brooks is wary of her mother marrying someone as powerful as the Alpha King but it's the happiest she has seen her since her father's death and it's a sacrifice she must make even if it means moving into the royal castle and dealing with her attraction to the famous Romano brothers. It's forbidden, it's dangerous, it's unacceptable but there's only so much restraint someone like Brooks can have, especially against powerful auras and dominating Alphas like the Romanos. Soon enough, she finds herself dancing to their tunes and playing good girl for them. It's all fun and games, nothing more than sexual pleasures until they start falling for her in their own ways, until it's revealed that a once in a century powerful mate bond would tie her to only one of them. And each of them wants her and would fight to the end to claim her.

“We shouldn’t be doing this,” Imani whispered, her voice trembling more from want than from fear of her brother barging in and catching her leaning in to kiss his ex-best-friend now turned enemy. “Then stop me,” he murmured back, his fingers brushing her jaw, his breath hot against her skin. But neither of them moved. The distance between them had already disappeared, along with every rule she’d promised not to break. *** When Imani Grayson, a quiet psychology major, is assigned to mentor the university’s star hockey captain, Nicolas Jameson, she expects arrogance not the kind of chemistry that keeps her up at night. What begins as a simple assignment spirals into late-night tutoring sessions, stolen glances, and kisses that blur every boundary she’s ever set. But with jealous teammates watching, old wounds resurfacing, and a love too intense to hide, the game they started might be the one that shatters them both. Imani will soon learn that some games can’t be won without losing everything, and Nicolas, that even in the game of hearts, the strongest player can fall to his knees.

Ang kaparehong ama-amahan na nag-aruga sa kaniya nang mapulot siya nitong pagala-gala sa kalsada ng Reiti, Paso. Para gawin iyon ay kailangan niyang tanggalin ang kahit anong bumabalakid sa plano nito, at isakatuparan ang isang misyong buong buhay niyang pinaghandaan at ipinangakong gawin. Armed with skills and a hunger to be loved back, Rome pointed his sniper gun to the old man who was silently drinking his coffee while reading the early newspaper. It was such a beautiful morning.

My husband is known as a ruthless CEO, but somehow, he is tender and warm with me. I'm passionate about art restoration, especially antique paintings, so he transforms his private collection room into a professional-grade studio just for me. He even brings in top experts to mentor me. Once, I spent three sleepless nights restoring a rare 12th-century painting. He ends up buying the entire museum that the painting belongs to, just so I can study it without restrictions. To marry me, he goes head-to-head with his powerful family, even stages a hunger strike, until they finally give in. At our engagement party, he gets down on one knee in front of everyone and says, "Ash, you deserve nothing but the best in this world." The ring he designs himself has an engraving on the inside that says, "Art brought us together, love holds us forever." Everyone says Vincent Hawthorn loves me like a maniac, and I believe it—until I restore one of his late mother's paintings…
