My physics teacher held up my test paper with an 18-point score in front of all the students and parents and said, “Students like this are hopeless. I don’t even know how someone like this passed the high school entrance exam. “I didn’t think there was a way to cheat on the high school entrance exam, but it turns out there is. It gives people like this a chance to cheat.” He did not just insult my intelligence but also questioned my character and family. “Well, it’s not surprising. Only a junk-collecting family could raise a kid like this.” I curled up in my seat, too scared to say anything. But my stepmom could not stand it anymore. She smacked the chalk box off his desk, pointed at him, and yelled, “Who do you think you’re talking about?! “I send my kid to school and pay all the tuition and book fees! How did it turn into us being a junk-collecting family?! “You can’t even teach properly, and I haven’t called you out for it! Have you no shame?! You don’t deserve to be called a teacher! You’re just a piece of trash!” For some reason, she suddenly seemed imposing and heroic to me.

Als ich, die lang verschollene Tochter, zur Familie Costello zurückkehrte, trug ich die abgelegten Sachen meiner Adoptivschwester, und der Familienchauffeur war nur ihretwegen da. Trotzdem fühlten sie sich der Tochter gegenüber schuldig, die sie in meiner Abwesenheit großgezogen hatten. Als die Regierung das Fairness-System einführte, registrierten sie die gesamte Familie, bevor ich auch nur mit der Wimper zucken konnte. Mein Vater atmete erleichtert aus. „Mit diesem System, das absolute Gleichheit durchsetzt, wird Brittany nie wieder leiden müssen.“ Meine Mutter nahm meine Hand, und ihre Stimme ließ keinen Raum für Widerspruch. „Du bist nach Hause gekommen und hast ihr alles gestohlen, was ihr gehörte. Das ist nicht fair gegenüber Brittany.“ Mein Bruder machte sich nicht die Mühe, seine Verachtung zu verbergen. „Ich erkenne nur eine Schwester an. Du hast bereits mehr bekommen, als du verdienst. Treib’s nicht zu weit.“ Ich aß die Reste, während sie Privatköche hatte. Ich schwitzte in einer fensterlosen Abstellkammer, während sie in ihrer luxuriösen Suite schlief. Ein freudloses Lachen wollte mir beinahe entweichen. Als das System online ging, waren sie es, die zusammenbrachen.

One lie got her the job. One secret could get her killed. Fresh out of prison, and one misstep away from being dragged back behind bars, Mercedes Connor is desperate. No one wants to hire an ex-con, no matter how qualified she is. But her best friend has a dangerous idea: ditch the Connor name, go by her mother's; Mercedes Alexander, and cheat the system just enough to survive. Re-inventing herself, she was able to get a job as the live-in nanny at the prestigious Ford Estate. But the Ford's are not just your regular wealthy family. They're powerful. And they're hiding something. ***************** Bradley Ford is cold, commanding, and dangerously irresistible. The world sees him as a tech billionaire, but behind closed doors, he's something else entirely: An Alpha werewolf, with a pack in chaos, and enemies everywhere. With threats closing in, the last thing he needs is a human nanny living under his roof. But his children chose her–and they never warm up to strangers. And for reasons he can't explain, so does his wolf. Two lives. One house full of secrets. And a forbidden attraction that could unravel both of their worlds.

During our New Year’s Eve dinner, I told my family that my company was not giving out year-end bonuses. The table went silent. Even the TV host counting down to midnight suddenly sounded grating. My husband and daughter slammed the table in frustration. “No year-end bonus?! How are we supposed to pay the mortgage and the car loan? I didn’t marry you so you could live off me!” “Other moms either buy designer bags or send money. You’re the most useless one. You can’t even bring home a $100,000 bonus.” My in-laws sat there with dark looks on their faces and said nothing. I looked at their self-righteous faces and felt a lump in my throat. All these years, every expense in this family was paid with the money I earned from late nights, overtime, and project commissions. But all they could see was the $100,000 bonus I did not bring home. “If you can’t make any money, then get out!” My husband grabbed my arm and pushed me toward the door. My daughter was not satisfied and kicked me on the lower back. I did not turn around. I took out my phone and booked the presidential suite at a downtown five-star hotel. My bank account had just received a $1 million dividend payout. It was true that I did not get a year-end bonus. But I got promoted to management. From this day onward, I would receive $1 million in dividends every year.

Prologue 🖤 Ulric Ulric est l’ombre dans la lumière, l’homme qu’on craint autant qu’on désire. Il porte la colère dans les veines et l’amour dans les silences. Il est brutal, possessif, jaloux — mais loyal. Son regard transperce, sa voix impose. Il aime comme il vit : avec excès, sans retour en arrière. Quand il aime Julianne, il devient vulnérable, presque humain. Il tuerait pour elle, mais il ne sait pas toujours l’aimer sans la blesser. Ulric est un roi maudit, perdu entre son trône de sang et sa soif d’amour pur. --- 🌺 Julianne Julianne est une rose élevée parmi les épines. Douce en apparence, mais imprévisible quand on la trahit. Elle a été donnée à un homme, Ulric, comme une offrande — mais elle s’est transformée en feu sacré. Mère, femme, amante, stratège... Julianne porte tout à la fois. Elle a souffert, beaucoup. Mais elle n’a jamais abandonné son cœur. Elle aime avec dignité, se défend avec fierté, et rêve encore malgré les cicatrices. Elle est le secret d’Ulric, sa lumière, son châtiment et son salut. --- 💔 Leur amour L’amour entre Ulric et Julianne est un champ de bataille parfumé. Rien n’est simple. Rien n’est doux. C’est un amour de coups d’éclat, de silence lourd, de cris dans la nuit et de promesses non dites. Ils s’aiment comme deux flammes rivales : attirées, consumées, ravagées. Ils ne savent pas vivre ensemble sans se heurter, mais ne savent pas exister l’un sans l’autre. Leur amour est maudit, mais sacré. Il est à la fois poison et remède. Ce n’est pas un conte de fées — c’est une guerre sainte entre deux âmes trop fortes pour renoncer.

Aria Calloway takes the job because she has no choice. Her grandmother's medical bills are mounting, and a private nanny placement in Creston Heights pays more than she has ever earned. She does not ask why the house has armed guards. She does not ask why her employer's name makes people look away. She simply walks through the door and meets Luca, four years old and silent for three years, a boy who has not spoken since the night he lost his mother. Then she meets Damien Rossi. He is the undisputed head of the Rossi crime family: controlled, dangerous, and carrying a grief so large it has swallowed the entire house. He does not want warmth. He does not want connection. But his son begins to speak again the moment Aria arrives, and Damien cannot bring himself to send her away. What he does not know yet is that Aria's past is threaded through the worst night of his life. Her grandfather once served the very organization that ordered his wife's death. She did not know it when she took the job. But someone else did, and they placed her there on purpose. As the truth closes in and an old enemy makes his move, Aria and Damien must decide what they are willing to risk and who they are willing to trust. Because in the Rossi world, love is not just dangerous. It is the most powerful weapon of all. And someone is already using it against them.

Drei Jahre lang hatte ich die Beziehungen meiner Familie genutzt, um dem Unternehmen Umsätze in Höhe von Hunderten Millionen einzubringen. Aber bei der Quartalssitzung trat die neue Praktikantin vor alle, präsentierte meine Anwesenheits- und Spesenabrechnungen und warf mir „unentschuldigte Abwesenheiten“ sowie „Verschwendung von Unternehmensgeldern“ vor. „Diese exklusiven Clubs, diese Restaurants…“, erklärte sie, ihre Stimme klang vor Selbstgerechtigkeit. „Jedes Mal gibt sie Tausende von Dollar aus! Das sind völlig unnötige Ausgaben.“ „Ich rate dem CEO dringend, sie umgehend zu entlassen, um so den Geldfluss des Unternehmens zu sichern.“ Ich warf Claude, dem CEO – meinem ehemaligen Kommilitonen –, einen Blick zu. Er wusste genau, wie viel Umsatz jedes einzelne dieser Treffen einbrachte. Er wusste auch, dass ich, wenn ich nicht im Büro war, in irgendeiner Bar mit Investoren verhandelte und dabei manchmal so lange trank, bis mir schlecht wurde. Aber er starrte mich nur kalt an. „Caroline, wie erklärst du die Abwesenheiten und Ausgaben, die Lia hier vorgelegt hat?“ Ich lächelte. „Ich habe nichts zu erklären.“ Sehr bald würden sie alle die Konsequenzen dieses kleinen Spiels zu spüren bekommen.
