Mia—codename Zero—is the deadliest assassin alive. She never asks questions. Never fails a job. Until a brutal accident steals her memory. Waking up in a powerful Alpha’s care, she has no idea who she is or why she was carrying his photograph. Alex Moore, CEO of Raften Pharmaceuticals and leader of the Darkhaven Pack, knows better than to trust a mysterious woman with a past she can’t remember. But something about her calls to him in ways he can’t explain. As passion ignites and their worlds intertwine, the truth looms in the shadows. Because Mia wasn’t just an assassin. She was sent to kill him. And when she remembers, there will be only one question left—will she finish the job, or has fate already sealed her loyalty… and her heart?

As I was about to leave The Crimson Curtain, my brother Corvus's elite vampire club, a woman who claimed to be the manager stopped me. "Ma'am, you just helped yourself to a priceless vial of Elder's Blood. You have to pay." I looked at the unfamiliar face, sensing the weak blood of a lesser vampire. She must be a fledgling, I thought, new to the club and unaware of who I was. "Your boss approved it," I said flatly. "Take it up with him." But the woman just sneered at me. "Plenty of women try to get close to our boss. If every one of you took what you wanted, how would we stay in business?" She shoved a copy of the club rules at me. Anyone who takes Elder's Blood without permission pays with three times the amount in heart's blood. Or they don't leave. Vampire guards started to close in, some even drawing silver blades, ready to take me down. I laughed, a cold, sharp sound. I couldn't believe Corvus's club had such an insane rule. "I am the Lord of House Volkov. Corvus's own sister. If he needs compensation, he can come to me himself." But her mockery only sharpened. "You look like some low-born stray. Claiming ties to a noble house? Pathetic. Hand over the heart's blood. Now." My patience snapped. I sent a message to the family elders through our bloodline. "Tell Corvus to either make this woman disappear forever, or I'm taking back ownership of this club. All of it."

At the company's celebration dinner, the new HR guy slapped a bill on the table—$860 for A/C and venue costs from our last all-nighter. I shot a look at Sherry—my girlfriend, my boss—thinking she'd have my back. Nope. She latched onto HR's arm and said, "Quentin, this isn't your daddy's company. Quit freeloading." And just like that, nine years of busting my ass for this company, and turns out—I was the discount item on the menu.

Buong akala ni Sky hindi na siya magkakagusto pa sa isang lalaki, matapos lokohin ng boyfriend niya noon at iwan ng Papa niya para sa ibang babae. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang makilala niya si Zach Villanueva, ang bagong CEO ng kumpanyang pinagtatrabahuan niya. Lihim siyang humanga dito, ngunit malayong magustuhan siya ng boss niyang perfectionist at may mataas na standard. Nang minsang magbiro ang tadhana, sa kasal ng kanyang ina, natuklasan niyang si Zach ay hindi lang basta boss, kundi anak ng lalaking papakasalan ng Mama niya. Stepbrother niya ang lalaking lihim niyang hinahangaan. Mas lalong naging kumplikado ang sitwasyon nang mapilitan silang magsama sa iisang bubong. Sa bawat titig, sa bawat paglapit, at sa bawat paghinga sa iisang espasyo, mas lumalalim ang tensyon sa pagitan nila. Isang tensyon na hindi dapat mabuo… pero imposibleng pigilan. Family by law. Forbidden by morals. But temptation doesn’t always play by the rules until it becomes...a sacred betrayal.

Damien et son ex-femme ont divorcé il y a cinq ans, puis il m'a épousée. Quand je l'ai épousé, il avait déjà une fille adoptive de treize ans, Lily. Après notre mariage, Damien me traitait exceptionnellement bien et je traitais toujours Lily comme ma propre fille, même quand elle montrait occasionnellement de l'hostilité envers moi. C'était normal pour une adolescente. Un jour, mon père a été accidentellement renversé par une voiture et plongé dans un état végétatif. J'ai accidentellement surpris une conversation entre Damien et son assistant. « Patron, je ne comprends pas. Pourquoi refuser la craniectomie ? Les médecins disent qu'il y a de grandes chances qu'il se rétablisse. » « Il ne peut pas se réveiller », la voix de Damien était étouffée par la douleur. « Il a vu le visage de Lily. » Je me suis couverte la bouche, mes ongles s'enfonçant profondément dans ma chair. Lily est la fille adoptive de Damien et de sa défunte ex-femme, Sarah. Sarah est morte en sauvant Damien, donc il traitait toujours Lily avec un mélange de culpabilité et d'indulgence. Damien a continué, la voix teintée de contradiction. « Mais Lily ne l'a pas fait exprès ! Elle a seulement treize ans... Si elle a un casier judiciaire, sa vie est finie. La seule dernière volonté de Sarah était que je prenne soin de Lily et que je la voie grandir saine et sauve. Je ne peux pas l'abandonner. » Son assistant est resté silencieux quelques secondes. « Et votre femme ? » « Je me rattraperai », la voix de Damien s'est adoucie. « Je lui offrirai la vie la plus confortable, et je garantirai la plus grande chambre privée ainsi que les meilleurs soignants pour son père victime de l'accident de voiture. Je me fiche du prix. » Mon cœur s'est serré. Parce que tu te sentais coupable envers Sarah et Lily, tu voulais sacrifier mon père ? Les mains tremblantes, j'ai sauvegardé l'enregistrement et j'ai demandé à mon avocat de préparer les papiers du divorce. Mais quand j'ai disparu, le PDG, si puissant, est devenu fou.

We got caught in a blizzard—me, my fiancé Melvin Dunn, a few of his colleagues, including Sally Blom. Middle of the night, I woke up shaking. My heavy-duty sleeping bag—the one built for minus forty—was gone. In its place? A flimsy summer quilt. Sally was curled up in my bag, fast asleep in Melvin's arms. I shoved him hard. "Why is she in my sleeping bag?" He pulled me aside, whispering, "Keep your voice down. Sally's kinda fragile—she's about to catch a cold. You're strong. You'll be fine." I pointed at my feet, already numb. "So I'm supposed to freeze to death for you two because she's 'fragile'?" He frowned. "God, Peyton, stop being so dramatic. It's just a sleeping bag. Think about the team for once." I laughed, tears slipping down my face. Didn't say another word. Just crawled back into the corner, grabbed the sat phone, and called my brother—Captain of Stormfang Rescue, an elite international search and rescue team. "Hugh, come get me. The coordinates are... Remember—I'm alone."

Issue d'une famille reconnue dans le monde des affaires, Nina, licenciée en relations internationales et en droit des affaires, rêve de s'envoler du confort habituel en réussissant par ses propres moyens plutôt que de travailler dans l'entreprise familiale où elle doit subir les pressions d'une mère au caractère difficile.

Difficile de résister aux charmes du beau brun qui ne lui facilitera pas du tout la tâche! Ayant du mal à joindre les deux bouts, Nina commence à douter de ses choix: Doit-elle se tourner vers sa famille ou laisser exprimer ses sentiments enfouis?

At graduation, I invited my classmates to attend my engagement party, but what I didn’t expect was the total meltdown one of my classmates had when she saw my engagement photos. She strutted over, full of herself, and demanded that I take off my dress so she could use it to polish her shoes. I blinked in confusion, thinking she must have lost her mind. I laughed and suggested she head over to the campus clinic to get checked out. Instead, she exploded, pointing a finger right in my face as she started yelling. “You leech! How dare you wear something so expensive?” she screamed. “You’ve been spending all of my boyfriend’s money on your filthy clothes! Have you no shame? Get down on your knees and apologize, or I guarantee you'll regret it. Who knows where you'll end up tomorrow? Maybe in the hands of some trafficker?” I couldn’t help but laugh. Who would’ve thought that my fiancé, whose tuition fees I paid for, had the nerve to keep a secret mistress behind my back?
