Meu marido de cinco anos acabou sendo descoberto como o herdeiro há muito perdido da família mafiosa Rhys. No dia em que foi levado de volta para a família, ele segurou a mão do nosso filho e caminhou em direção a um carro de luxo de um milhão de dólares com Isla, sua paixão de infância. Então, franzindo levemente a testa, ele me disse: — Hazel, eu só vou levar a Isla e nosso filho comigo. Você fica aqui por enquanto. Quando eu me firmar na família Rhys, voltarei para buscar você. Assenti calmamente e aceitei o arranjo sem protestar. Eu sabia que, mesmo que eu insistisse em voltar com ele, não terminaria bem. Na minha vida anterior, eu chorei e insisti em ir com ele. Sem outra escolha, Sam me levou de volta para a família. No entanto, não demorou muito para que Isla me incriminasse, acusando-me de vazar os segredos da família mafiosa Rhys. De acordo com as regras da família, fui condenada à morte. Quando a sentença foi executada, meu filho gritou para mim com os olhos vermelhos: — Eu te odeio! Se você não tivesse insistido em voltar, eu não teria uma mãe traidora! Eu já teria tido uma mãe melhor há muito tempo! Naquele instante, meu coração não aguentou. Renascida no momento antes de meu marido recuperar sua identidade, desta vez escolhi deixar ir sem hesitação, não ficando mais no caminho da felicidade que ele e nosso filho desejavam.

No quinto ano do meu casamento com Caetano Targino, veio à tona o escândalo: a amante que ele escondia num hotel, Isadora Travassos, foi exposta pra todo mundo ver. Pra evitar que ela ficasse marcada como “a outra”, Caetano apareceu com os papéis do divórcio: — O Prof. Travassos me ajudou muito no passado. No leito de morte, ele me pediu pra cuidar da Isadora. Agora que isso veio à público... eu não posso virar as costas. Durante todos esses anos, Isadora sempre foi a prioridade do Caetano. Na vida passada, quando ouvi isso, perdi o controle. Gritei, chorei, me recusei a assinar. Caí numa depressão profunda. Caetano, acreditando num comentário da Isadora “Aurélia não parece doente”, achou que eu estava fingindo. Que era tudo joguinho emocional, chantagem. Então armou uma história de traição minha... e entrou com pedido de divórcio. Só aí, entendi que eu nunca fui páreo pra dívida de gratidão que ele tinha com o pai dela. E, desesperada, acabei tirando minha própria vida. Quando abri os olhos de novo, não hesitei um segundo. Assinei o divórcio.

No momento da explosão no laboratório, meu namorado, Gustavo Sena, correu desesperado... Mas não até mim. Ele correu até Lívia Cardoso, que estava distante do centro da explosão, e a protegeu com o próprio corpo. Quando o barulho cessou, ele a levou imediatamente ao hospital, nos braços. Nem sequer olhou para mim, caída no chão, coberta de sangue. Aquela garota que ele criou e cuidou por dezoito anos preenchia completamente seu coração. Não havia mais espaço para mim. Meus colegas me levaram ao hospital. Sobrevivi por pouco. Depois de sair da UTI, com os olhos ainda inchados de tanto chorar, liguei para meu orientador: — Professor Luís, eu pensei bem e tomei uma decisão. Aceito ir com você para o projeto de pesquisa confidencial. Mesmo que a viagem seja em um mês, e eu não possa ter contato com ninguém por cinco anos... Está tudo bem. Em um mês, eu me casaria e realizaria um sonho que eu alimentava há muito tempo. Mas agora... Eu já não quero mais.

Johnny Simmons thrives on competition—whether in the pool, in playful bets, or in charming his way through life. He’s used to being in control, but when Jane Shepherd enters his world, she proves to be an unexpected challenge. Assigned to his study group, Jane is sharp, unfiltered, and unimpressed by his usual charm. Their first real interaction is filled with witty banter, subtle tension, and a clash of personalities that leaves Johnny both frustrated and intrigued. A fiercely competitive swimmer meets his match in a sharp-witted girl who challenges him at every turn, winning unexpected bets and forcing him to rethink what it truly means to win—not just in competition, but in love and life. Jenny & Jay - Volume 1 is the first installment in a five-novel New Adult series, following the lives of five childhood friends—Johnny Simmons, Paul, Brian, Aaron, and Daryl—all competitive swimmers bound by their deep friendship and relentless drive to win. While romance plays a central role, this is not a simple on-again, off-again love story; instead, the series explores the evolving relationships, rivalries, and personal growth of these young men as they navigate life, love, and ambition.

I was born cursed. A Volana wolf, the rarest, most hunted bloodline in existence. My blood grants eternal life, which means I've spent every day since I was ten locked away by the one man who was supposed to protect me. My father didn't raise a daughter. He raised a weapon. He killed my wolf, stole my wolf, and when I had nothing left to give, he sold me. Not to a mate. To a contract. Bastien Voss Rourke doesn't do love. The most feared Alpha billionaire in the Northern Territories does deals. Clean. Calculated. Final. Three years as his contract mate in exchange for my freedom when the contract expires. No feelings. No bond. No future. I told myself I could survive it. I was wrong. Because somewhere between his cold commands and the rare, unguarded moments he forgot to be ruthless, I fell. Hard. Stupidly. Completely. Now the contract is ending. I'm standing in his penthouse with a pregnancy test in my hand and a smile I can't contain — and he's about to sign the rejection papers. He doesn't want me. He never did. But the heir growing inside me? That belongs to both of us. And when the truth about my blood, my lineage, and what I really am detonates across the pack world — Bastien will realize he didn't just reject a contract mate. He rejected his true fated bond. And some mistakes cannot be undone with paperwork.
