My Forbidden Husband I kissed my father’s best friend. It was reckless. Disastrous. And worst of all—he hated it. Damien Luca is eighteen years older, untouchable, and every kind of wrong for me. A man carved from power, wealth, and sin—the kind of man who owns half the world and intimidates the rest of it. I told myself I’d let him go. That the crush, the obsession, the pull between us was over. But fate laughs at me—because now, I’m his wife. A marriage neither of us wanted. A vow neither of us can escape. And a fire we’re both trying—and failing—to resist. He’s forbidden. I’m off-limits. But we can’t stop reaching for the one thing we’re not supposed to touch.

You’re not supposed to want straight men. Carson Bitters wants nothing more than to feel his secretary inside him. He dreams of it every day. You’re not supposed to fall in love with them. They won’t love you back. But Carson can’t stop longing for Asher Hall; the man his homophobic father handpicked for him. A living, breathing, giant NO. And yet, every time Asher speaks, every glance, every careless brush of his hand, Carson finds himself wanting more. Needing more. And what starts as longing could destroy everything, or make it unforgettable.

Cynthia, a billionaire lawyer renowned for her unyielding advocacy for women's rights, has spent her career fearlessly battling injustice in the courtroom. Her impressive track record of victories has earned her a reputation as a force to be reckoned with, and her name is synonymous with courage and determination. But when her own marriage implodes, Cynthia finds herself in the uncharted territory of being a defendant. The very laws she has spent her career defending seem to be working against her, and she is forced to navigate the treacherous waters of her own divorce. As she struggles to protect her rights and her reputation, Cynthia begins to question everything she thought she knew about the justice system. Is it truly impartial, or are there hidden biases and agendas at play? Can she trust her own lawyers, or are they just looking out for their own interests? As the stakes grow higher and the battle for her rights becomes increasingly intense, Cynthia is forced to confront the darkest corners of her own psyche. What secrets has she been keeping from herself, and from those around her? What lies has she been telling, and what truths has she been avoiding? Can Cynthia emerge from this crucible with her rights intact, or will she become the latest casualty of a system that seems designed to destroy her? Will she be able to reclaim her reputation, or will she be forever tarnished by the very laws she once fought to uphold? The outcome is far from certain, as Cynthia embarks on a perilous journey of self-discovery and redemption. Will she find the strength to overcome the obstacles in her path, or will she succumb to the crushing weight of her own doubts and fears? Only time will tell.

She negotiated the terms of their marriage like a contract. He agreed to every condition without argument. That should have been her first warning. Sloane Mercer is a corporate attorney who built everything herself and trusts no one. When her father reappears after eighteen years with a debt that threatens her mother's home she does the only thing she can. She agrees to an arranged marriage with Beckett Rowe and walks into his world on her own terms. Beckett chose her deliberately. From a list of twelve names he chose hers. Not because of the arrangement. Because someone was already coming for her and he got there first. But the closer they get to each other the closer they get to a truth that will break everything open. Her father was sent to her door by design. The career she sacrificed everything to build was quietly poisoned before she ever walked through its doors. And the man behind all of it has been watching them both the entire time. The arrangement was never about a marriage. And falling in love was never part of the plan. But what happens when the only person who ever really saw you is the one person you were never supposed to trust?

It's a blind date. Neither of them wanted to be paired. She agrees to it so she can keep her secret from her family. He agrees to it to fulfill his grandmother's dying wish. They are just pretending; a scripted act. That's what they tell themselves. But they soon begin to forget their lines in the play as love blossoms between them. Anders and Electra never thought they could love each other as much as they had hated each other.

I swore vengeance long before I swore the law. The night my twin sister’s future was stolen, a promise was carved into my soul—to dismantle the empire of Alexander Stone, the ruthless leader of the Xander MC. Not with fists or bullets, but with patience, precision, and the law he thinks he’s untouchable from. Now I walk in his shadow. To him, I’m a sharp-tongued lawyer with a backbone of steel—the woman he thinks can shield him from justice. To me, he’s nothing but a target. Every word I speak, every smile I fake, every late-night meeting in smoke-filled rooms is just another thread in the trap I’m weaving around him. But vengeance has its own dangers. Somewhere in the blurred lines of loyalty and deception, I start to feel the pull of the very man I came to destroy. His voice lingers, his touch burns, and the closer I get to ending him, the closer I fall into something I can’t control. He doesn’t know my secret—yet. But when the mask falls, when he realizes the knife has been in my hands all along, it won’t just be a reckoning. It will be war. And in this war between justice and desire, I may lose more than my sister’s revenge… I may lose myself and I don't know if I'll destroy him... or if he'll destroy me first.

One tragic night ruined her life… but one sinful night awakened something she should’ve never felt. *** Maya Ramirez is a top actress—admired by millions, envied by many, but shattered within. Sa araw ng kanyang bed scene shoot, nakatanggap siya ng balitang ikinawasak ng mundo niya: naaksidente ang ama niya at nang dumating siya sa ospital ay patay na ito. At ang mas masakit? Buntis ang kapatid niyang si Maica, at ang ama ng dinadala nito ay walang iba kung 'di ang boyfriend ni Maya. Dahil sa sakit, sa galit, sa pagkawasak—uminom siya ng alak hanggang mawalan ng kontrol. At sa isang gabi ng kahinaan, nakatulog siya sa bisig ng isang estranghero. Ngunit pagmulat niya… hindi pala ito estranghero. Ito ay si Atty. Luigi Salazar—ang kanyang tiyuhin. Dapat ay isang pagkakamali lang iyon. Dapat ay kalimutan na, pero hindi siya pinakawalan ni Luigi. Hindi siya tinalikuran. Sa halip, ang bawat gabi ay naging mas mapusok, mas makasalanan… at mas mahirap itigil. They tried to deny it. They tried to hide it. Until one revelation changed everything—they’re not blood-related. Pero sapat ba 'yon para maging tama ang mali? Handa ba silang ipaglaban ang pag-ibig na itinatago nila sa dilim? O mas pipiliin nilang masunog sa apoy ng bawal na pagmamahalan?
