Always Leave Them Wanting More

Selina Amber Rodriguez married Damien Whitmore at twenty-two, not because he loved her, but because his grandmother demanded it. Her parents died in a car accident pulling a teenage Damien out of the wreckage — a debt the Whitmore family patriarch considered sacred and his grandmother considered a transaction. Two years later, Selina is the most elegantly kept secret in the Whitmore empire: present at every gala, photographed beside a man who looks through her at someone else, and invisible in every way that matters. She is not stupid. She is not weak. She is simply a woman who made the mistake of loving someone before she understood the cost. Now she is pregnant. And she is leaving.

Já se somavam cinco anos de casamento com Dante Moretti, o Don da máfia de Chicago. O submundo inteiro sabia que ele me amava mais do que a própria vida. Ele tinha tatuado um violino em minha homenagem bem ao lado do brasão de sua família, um símbolo de lealdade que jamais poderia ser apagado. Até eu receber a foto de sua amante. Uma garçonete de bar, estirada nua em seus braços, a pele marcada por hematomas escuros que eram resultado de uma noite de sexo bruto. Ela havia rabiscado o próprio nome bem ao lado do violino que ele fizera para mim. E meu marido havia permitido. [Dante diz que só estando dentro de mim ele se sente homem de verdade. Você nem consegue mais deixá-lo duro, não é mesmo, querida Alessia? Talvez seja hora de sair de cena.] Eu não respondi. Apenas fiz um único telefonema. — Preciso de uma nova identidade. E de uma passagem de avião para fora daqui.

Bianca was born a rogue—an outsider who learned early that survival meant making herself useful. When she saved Alpha Matthew Morrison's life twice, she thought she'd finally found someone who saw her value. Instead, she became his obligation, his duty, the wife he married because honor demanded it, not because his heart did. For four years, Bianca tried to earn Matthew's love through service, through healing, through being the perfect Luna and mother to their son, Theo. She told herself that someday he would see her, truly see her, and choose her. Then Mia came back—Matthew's first love, with a terminal illness and a bucket list of dreams she wanted to fulfill before she died. . Now Matthew demands the ultimate sacrifice: Bianca must risk her life, her healing abilities, and her future to cure the woman who's already taken everything from her. When Bianca discovers that Mia's "terminal illness" is built on lies and manipulation, she realizes the truth—she was never the wife, never the Luna, never the mother in Matthew's eyes. She was always just the rogue girl convenient enough to save and use. But Bianca is done being convenient. She's done sacrificing herself for a man who'll never love her. She's done watching another woman live her life while she fades into the background. Armed with evidence of Mia's deception and divorce papers hidden in plain sight, Bianca prepares to do what she should have done four years ago—walk away before they destroy her completely. The only question is: will Matthew sign away their bond before he realizes what he's losing, or will Bianca's carefully constructed escape plan crumble when the man who never loved her suddenly can't bear to let her go?

Esperei por três horas na festa de aniversário do meu namorado, Dário Montenegro. Ele deveria ser o centro das atenções, chegar com elegância, de mãos dadas comigo. Mas não. Foi a “eterna paixão” dele, Evelina Fernandes, quem ligou — dizendo que torceu o tornozelo — e o chamou direto pro hospital. Lá, ela gravou um vídeo deles se beijando. Na cena, Dário, que sempre disse estar com as pernas paralisadas, se levanta, empurra Evelina contra a porta e se entrega ao momento. — Dário, por que você nunca contou pra Lívia que suas pernas já estavam boas? E ele, com a voz mansa e melada: — Se ela souber, vai insistir pra eu casar com ela. Lívia Vale? Ela não é nada. Só uma babá grátis. E acha que merece virar minha esposa? Logo depois, ele e Evelina continuam se beijando com força. Ela veste o vestido de noiva que eu mesma desenhei… e encara a câmera com provocação. O vídeo termina ao som dos beijos. Ele me enganou o tempo todo. Joguei fora o bolo que tinha feito pra ele com tanto carinho. Mandei uma mensagem pra minha mãe: “Oi, mãe. Tá bom. Eu aceito ir no encontro que você marcou.”

“I never betrayed you!” Cassandra’s voice trembled as she spoke. “Not once—not ever—” “Then whose child did you give birth to?” The Alpha, Alaric Drayden, cut in coldly, each word heavy with condemnation. The woman lying weak on the hospital bed flinched at the cruelty in his tone. “Enough. I don’t need your excuses, Cassandra.” Tears streamed down her cheeks, unstoppable. “No, my Alpha. I swear—I never betrayed you—” “I, Alaric Drayden, Alpha of the SilverFang Pack, hereby sever the bond between us. From this moment forward, no tie of fate binds us, Cassandra. I reject you as my Luna for the treachery you’ve committed.” Cassandra shook her head in disbelief, her voice breaking. “No! No! You can’t do this to me, my Alpha!” *** Betrayed by her husband.

Betrayal had remade her. Fate demanded her rise. And this time… nothing would stop Cassandra Vale. Not even destroying those who once cast her aside—including Alaric Drayden, her former Alpha. But when every truth finally comes to light…would Alaric still be standing at her side?

After I, Rosalie Ricci, was stood up 17 times, the mafia don, Daniel Marino, finally holds the perfect engagement banquet for me. In our second year together, we are ready to get married. But every single time, he has an excuse to hold our engagement off. He says he's busy with work, the timing isn't right yet, or that he isn't quite ready. I never blame him because I love him. I have loved him since our school days. In fact, I have loved him for seven whole years. This is the 18th time.
