Arrangement

Title: Married Again Genre: Steamy Romance | Age Gap | Heir/Heiress Sebastian Wolfe had it all—money, power, and a last name that commanded respect. As the CEO of Wolfe Enterprises and a widowed father in his forties, he wasn't looking for love. His first marriage had been a cold arrangement built on duty, not desire. But when a whirlwind scandal threatens his empire, he does the unthinkable: marries again. This time, it’s different. This time, it’s Aria Sinclair—twenty-two, dazzling, and dangerously off-limits. The daughter of a powerful rival, Aria is everything Sebastian shouldn't want: impulsive, rebellious, and young enough to be his daughter. But her beauty is blinding, her tongue is sharp, and her presence ignites a fire he thought long dead. What starts as a strategic alliance quickly spirals into something darker, deeper, and much more dangerous. Their chemistry is undeniable—raw, electric, forbidden. Every stolen glance, every heated touch threatens to unravel the strict control Sebastian has clung to for years. But Aria isn’t just a trophy wife or a pawn in his business game—she's the wild card that could destroy everything… or save him from himself. As secrets rise and the past claws its way into their present, Sebastian must face the hardest truth of all: marrying Aria might have been his greatest risk—but losing her could be his ultimate downfall. Married Again is a seductive tale of age-gap obsession, power plays, and a man learning that sometimes, love doesn’t come in the form you expect—it comes in the fire you never saw coming.

He rejected his fated human mate to save his pack. Now the cursed Luna he broke is the only one who can save—or destroy—him. “Mine.” That single word from the most dangerous man in the room changes my life forever. I’m just a broke human waitress, juggling two jobs to pay my mother’s hospital bills, when a brutal bar fight ends with my throat under a stranger’s claws…and my fate sealed by a kiss I never asked for. Ronan Vale, Alpha of the Crimson Hollow Pack—cold, merciless, untouchable—claims me as his mate in front of his warriors. There’s just one problem. I’m human. His pack wants me dead. And Ronan? He rejects me in public the very next day. To the wolves, I’m nothing but a bargaining chip: a human “Luna” tied to the Alpha by a contract arrangement to keep peace with the human council. To Ronan, I’m supposed to be an inconvenience—a weakness he can not afford. Then why does he look at me like he wants to devour me? Why does my body burn whenever he’s close? The more Ronan touches me, the more something inside me awakens: sharp senses, violent hunger, flashes of another life that doesn’t belong to a human girl at all. I’m not just a human Luna. I’m the cursed mate he once swore he’d never accept… and this time, I might be the one who walks away.
