Quando eu estava grávida de três meses, a suposta irmã de criação do meu Don, Ruby, apareceu à minha porta. Sua barriga já saliente era impossível de ignorar. — Donna, já que a data do meu parto está tão próxima, achei que você deveria saber… o herdeiro do Don está na minha barriga. Ela colocou tudo diante de mim: fotos íntimas dela com Caleb, registros das transferências semanais de dinheiro que ele lhe enviava, até mesmo a escritura de uma mansão. As datas mais antigas remontavam à época em que eu perdi nosso primeiro bebê, quando os médicos disseram que seria difícil para mim engravidar novamente. Todos esses anos, eu vinha me submetendo a tratamentos de fertilização in vitro, tentando desesperadamente engravidar de novo e dar a ele outro filho — enquanto ele se envolvia com sua suposta irmã de criação. Bem, se Caleb queria tanto outra mulher, então podia ficar com ela. De qualquer forma, eu não tinha intenção de ficar. Eu já estava planejando ir embora.

No dia em que descobriu que estava grávida novamente, Daniela Fagundes também descobriu que o marido já tinha formado outra família com uma jovem estudante pobre, justamente alguém que ela mesma havia ajudado no passado. Enquanto Daniela sofria pela perda dos filhos e emagrecia a cada dia, Eduardo Soares comemorava com a amante o nascimento do filho deles. A empresa que Daniela havia construído com as próprias mãos já estava nas mãos da amante. A casa que ela acreditava ser o único lar do seu casamento também foi construída por Eduardo para a outra mulher. Naquele momento, todo o amor que Daniela sentia desapareceu. O que restou foi apenas um ódio profundo. Ela guardou o resultado do exame de gravidez e pediu o divórcio sem hesitar. Eduardo respondeu com frieza e autoridade: — Se você implorar agora, posso fingir que esse acordo de divórcio nunca existiu. Daniela virou as costas: — Nos vemos no cartório. Mais tarde, foi Eduardo quem acabou se curvando. Diante de Daniela, agora radiante e deslumbrante, o arrependimento chegou tarde. Ele implorou para que ela olhasse para ele mais uma vez. Daniela era bonita e de traços delicados, mas no rosto havia um sorriso distante. — Sr. Eduardo, você chegou tarde demais. Eu nunca mais vou me apaixonar por você.

Encarei o contrato de casamento dos Vercetti que meu pai empurrou sobre a mesa. Sem hesitar, escrevi o nome da minha meia-irmã, Demi, e o deslizei de volta. Meu pai congelou. Em seguida, seus olhos brilharam com uma empolgação ridícula, como se tivesse acabado de ganhar na loteria. — Como você pode dar uma chance tão perfeita à sua irmã? Na minha vida passada, meu casamento foi uma piada para todos ao meu redor. Eu era a ruiva indomável, a pequena bruxa selvagem que ousou entrar na órbita de Cassian Vercetti, herdeiro e líder da antiga família criminosa Vercetti. Eu nunca fui perfeita nem obediente. Ele amava vestidos de deusa. Eu usava minissaias e dançava sobre as mesas. Ele exigia intimidade na posição missionária, tradicional e ordenada. Eu queria subir por cima, dominá-lo, perder-me completamente. Em um baile de gala, as esposas da alta sociedade riam do meu cabelo, do meu vestido, da minha "selvageria". Achei que ele ao menos fingiria me defender. Não defendeu. — Perdoem-na. Ela não é… devidamente treinada. Treinada. Como um cachorro. Passei toda a minha vida anterior sufocando sob as regras dele, dobrando-me até sangrar para caber na forma que ele queria, até a noite em que nossa casa pegou fogo. Quando abri os olhos novamente, estava de volta ao momento em que soube do casamento arranjado. Olhei para o contrato à minha frente. Desta vez? Acho que os garotos da boate combinam mais comigo. Mas, no instante em que Cassian percebeu que a noiva não era eu, ele quebrou todas as regras pelas quais havia vivido.

We all know a Viola, we've all met a Viola, we might even be one. Viola is a woman in her early twenties with absolutely no reason to keep living. She wants to die, so she tries to, sadly for her, she doesn't. Now, she is standing in the ashes of who she used to be with no idea who she should be. Viola will break your heart, but only the best stories do. She is consumed by a loss that is as deep as the ocean, pain that knows no bound, extreme anxiety and chronic paranoia, trauma that is skin deep, sadness that always return, depression that never leaves and how agonizing a friendship-breakup can be. This is a book about Love, the love that lives between you, love that is hard to find, harder to understand, the love we were born with, waiting patiently between our ribcages, waiting to be recognized, to be seen, the love we should have for ourselves, the love that does not fade.

lunch went by pretty quickly, and we were back to classes soon enough. I'd like to forget to get a book out of my locker, so I went to go quickly and went to get it. I was leaning against the locker next to mine as I quickly scanned my schedule on my locker door. When warm air fanned the side of my face. "Move" being the excellent human being I am, I jumped out of fright, flinging the heavy calculus textbook in my hands backward. I hear a grunt and turn to find the person hunched over as they hold part of their face "Oh God! I'm so sorry!" I panicked. and then he looked up. the first thing I noticed was his short, dark hair. it looked so smooth, and 1 almost reached out to play with it. My eyes trailed down to his strong jaw line, down to his broad shoulders. I didn't even realize that I was biting my lip as I further inspected the Adonis before me. His arm flexed, bringing my attention to the amber eye he was now covering It was him. Six. He is the most popular and dangerous guy in school. And I'd managed to injure him with my calculus textbook.

In the Nightfang Clan, Asha Ravenshade is a ghost. she is a "living curse" born of a forbidden union between an Alpha and a condemned witch. For twenty-two years, she has survived on scraps and shadows, her burgeoning magic suppressed by fear. But the moon has a different plan. Everything changes during a border ambush when Asha finds Kael Varynx, the cold and lethal Alpha of the rival Silvercrest Clan, bleeding out under a broken oak. One touch of her hand triggers an explosion of moonfire that heals his fatal wounds and awakens a bond that shouldn’t exist. The verdict: Mates. Accused of treason by her own pack and hunted for the power she doesn't understand, Asha is traded like a political pawn to the enemy she just saved. But Kael is a man of strategy, not sentiment.

As the Blood Moon approaches, Asha’s true identity is weaponized by the man who hates her most: her own father, Alpha Darian Blackthorn. With two clans on the brink of war and a land reacting violently to her presence, Asha must choose: Will she remain the ash of her father’s sins, or will she become the Moonbound queen destined to bring the Alphas to their knees?

I never wanted a man. I wanted a baby. After years of failed treatments, a cheating fiancé, and a body that kept betraying me, I made a decision. I would do this alone. No man, no heartbreak, no complications. Just me, a clinic, and a dream I refused to let die. Except the clinic made a mistake. One catastrophic, life-altering mistake. The sample I was inseminated with didn't belong to the anonymous donor I selected. It belonged to Dominic Sinclair, billionaire, ruthless businessman, and the most terrifyingly beautiful man I have ever seen in my life. And now I'm carrying his child. He finds out before I've even processed the shock myself. I expect lawyers. Paperwork. A cold corporate transaction. What I don't expect is him standing in my apartment doorway, silver eyes burning with something that looks nothing like indifference telling me that no child of his will be born outside his pack's territory. Pack. That's when I realized Dominic Sinclair isn't just any billionaire. He's a werewolf. Campaigning to be Alpha King of the entire North American packs. And I, a human, broke, still-heartbroken, carrying his heir, have just become the most dangerous variable in his entire political rise. He says he wants to protect me. His wolf says something else entirely. And the way he looks at me, like I'm something he wants to consume slowly, makes me terrified of one thing above all else. That I might let him.

Dmitri Volkov is the heir to one of New York’s most ruthless Russian mafia families—cold, controlled, and carrying scars no one is allowed to see. He has spent his life obeying blood oaths and burying every part of himself that doesn’t serve the syndicate. Love, especially love for a man, is a weakness he cannot afford. Ethan Moreau is a twenty-two-year-old French art student on scholarship at NYU—soft-spoken, openly gay, and painfully trusting. He came to New York to chase beauty in a city full of sharp edges, never expecting one of those edges to look back at him with ice-blue eyes. Their worlds collide by chance in Central Park. A fleeting encounter becomes stolen nights, desperate kisses in shadowed alleys, and whispered promises neither of them can keep. For Ethan, Dmitri is intensity and danger wrapped in tenderness he’s never known.

In a city that devours the innocent, their story is a slow bleed of devotion, betrayal, and the kind of love that can ruin you completely.
