Austin Kane Shirtless

Clara Rivers only wanted a fresh start—a simple job, a quiet life, and enough money to keep her family afloat. But everything changes the day she crosses paths with Elias Kane, the cold, calculated billionaire whose gaze feels like both a warning and a promise. When a business deal forces them into a fake engagement, Clara thinks she can handle it. Smile for the cameras. Stay by his side. Don’t fall for him. But Elias is not a man meant to be close. He’s sharp where others are soft, silent where others speak, and every step she takes into his world pulls her deeper into something dangerous… and irresistible. Their act is supposed to stay professional. Until his touch lingers. Until her heartbeat betrays her. Until every lie starts to feel painfully real. Elias claims she’s nothing to him—just a contract, an accessory to control the media storm around his name. But the moment another man shows interest in Clara, Elias’s mask cracks… revealing a possessive, jealous obsession he can no longer hide. As secrets unfold, emotions ignite, and the stakes grow higher, Clara must confront the truth: Is she just another woman caught in the billionaire’s web or the one person capable of breaking the walls he swore would never fall? A gripping slow-burn romance full of tension, heartbreak, and undeniable chemistry—The Billionaire’s Hidden Obsession is a love story that proves some obsessions are too powerful to escape.

I've been in a secret relationship with my stepbrother, Caesar Kane, for eight years. He promises he'll marry me after graduation. As graduation approaches, he tells me he's tired of me and has found someone younger and prettier. I throw away the ring he gave me and cut up my wedding dress. All of his friends place bets on how long it will take before I come crawling back to him. Caesar has always treated me like I'm his property and declares with complete confidence, "Give it three days tops. She'll come crawling back in tears, begging me to take her back." So I accept the invitation from a prince from my Farbourne University prep program. I follow him to Snowcall, leaving behind the stepbrother who clearly doesn't care about me anymore. Caesar finally cracks and calls me. "Miranda, enough with the drama. Come home." A man's low, amused chuckle comes through the phone. "Pro tip—you shouldn't wait around if you want to win your woman back. Someone else might sweep her off her feet." Caesar practically snarls into the phone. "Put Miranda on the phone!" The man leans down and kisses me. "Sorry, we wore each other out pretty thoroughly just now, and she's out cold. Give me a second to wake her up properly."

Mac saw her eyes burst into flame, just jump to life. His hand stilled, and his cock stiffened. “There you are, babe,” he whispered. “I knew you were still in there somewhere.” Her eyes sparked again. “Shane…” “Nuh-uh.” His voice was husky and dark. “Don’t say anything – just keep looking at me like that.” “Like what?” “Like I’m buried deep inside you, and you’re just about to come.” **** Four years ago, Miranda Campbell – once Miranda Kane – walked away from the only man she ever loved. Not because she wanted to, but because staying would have gotten him killed. She vanished to protect Shane MacIntyre, rebuilding her life in secrecy and fear. When fate throws them back together and Shane demands the truth, Mirrie knows she can’t run anymore. It’s time to tell him who she really is, and why loving her was never safe. Shane “Mac” MacIntyre doesn’t believe in attachments. The woman who broke him disappeared without a word, leaving behind a life of hard work and harder one-night stands. Seeing Mirrie again changes everything. He’ll fight monsters, enemies, and fate itself to keep her alive and bring her back to him. But some dangers don’t forgive bravery. And if Shane survives what’s coming, he may still lose Mirrie...for risking everything she sacrificed to save him.

They shattered her. Now she’s the storm coming to destroy them. For five years, Mona Smith was the perfect wife, silent, loyal, and invisible. Trapped in a golden cage, she clung to love while the Caldwell family tore her down piece by piece. They laughed at her. Belittled her. Treated her like dirt beneath their designer heels. Until the night it all fell apart. “Get out,” Emily Caldwell sneered, wine staining Mona’s dress like blood. “You were never one of us.” Framed. Humiliated. Abandoned by the man she gave everything to. The Caldwells thought they could toss her out and move on. But they made one fatal mistake. They let her live. Enter Alexander Kane, dangerous, untouchable, and worth more than empires. He offers Mona a deal: marry him, and he’ll give her the power to crush the people who destroyed her. Mona says yes. Not for love. For vengeance. But revenge has a cost, and Alexander has secrets darker than she ever imagined. As Mona claws her way into the ruthless world of power and privilege, she must decide: Will she burn them all to the ground? Or will she become the very monster she was trying to destroy? Because the most dangerous woman in the world… is the one they tried to break. --- "You wanted me broken?" Mona whispers, slipping on a diamond ring worth more than their entire legacy. "Congratulations. I’m broken. And now, I’m unstoppable." They wanted her silent. Now she’s their worst nightmare

For seventeen years, I believed I was nothing, Iris Delta, the unwanted orphan tolerated by a pack that saw me as a burden. The Maxwell quad Alpha heirs made sure I knew my place, tormenting me with cruel words and vicious pranks. I was weak, worthless, invisible. I was wrong about everything. On my eighteenth birthday, Alpha Maxwell reveals the truth that changes everything: I'm Seraphina Blackthorne, the last heir of a bloodline thought extinct. My parents didn't abandon me—they were murdered by the Northern Alliance, who believed they'd eliminated every trace of Blackthorne power. They were wrong, too. The moment my wolf Diamond awakens, the mate bond snaps into place with the four men who made my life hell. Fin, Brent, Kane, and Liam—my tormentors are my fated mates, four pieces of one soul that can only be completed by me. Their cruelty wasn't hatred; it was a fractured soul recognising its missing piece and lashing out in fear. But the Northern Alliance isn't finished. They've come to eliminate the last Blackthorne before I can claim my birthright. What they don't realise is that I'm not just the last heir, I'm the strongest Blackthorne born in three centuries. When divine justice flows through my veins and ghostly wolf spirits answer my call, they'll learn what happens when you try to destroy something the goddess herself has chosen to protect. The Blackthorne line has returned. And this time, we're not going down without a fight.

Naniniwala ka ba sa karma? Sya si Danon Acosta. Nasa tamang edad, gwapo, macho, mayaman at habulin ng babae. Aminado syang hindi sya pahuhuli sa pagiging babaero sa kanilang magkakaibigan. Marami nang babae ang umiyak dahil sa kanya. Hindi naman nya kasalanan yun dahil unang una palang ay sinabihan na nya ang mga ito na wag mai-inlove sa kanya. Ngunit isang araw may isang matandang babaeng wala yata sa sarili nito at hinulaan sya. At ayon nga daw sa kapalaran nya ay nalalapit na ang karma nya. Ang babaeng magpapatibok ng triple sa bato nyang puso. Ang babaeng magpapaiyak sa kanya. Ang babaeng mahihirapan syang mapaibig kahit lumuhod pa sya sa asin. Tinawanan lang nya ito. Hindi sya naniniwala sa karma. Tao lang ang gumagawa ng karma nya. Pero ng makilala nya si Maggie ang hipag ng kaibigan nyang si Austin ay nagiba ang tibok ng puso nya. Unang kita pa lang nya dito ay alam nyang tinamaan na sya. Pero hindi pala ganun kadali ang pagdadaanan nya para mapaibig ito. Dahil desi syete lang ito at malaki pa ang pagkadisgusto sa kanya, laging nakasimangot tuwing nakikita sya. Ang isip nya ay nagsasabi na kalimutan na lang ito at ibaling na lang ang atensyon sa iba, ngunit ang puso nya naman ay ito lang ang hinahanap hanap kahit halos isumpa sya nito ng sirain nya ang date nito sa lalaking gusto nito. Danon Acosta and Maggie Caperiña story

Après la mort de mes parents, j'ai été adoptée de façon inattendue par l'Alpha et Luna, devenant ainsi la seule humaine sur un territoire de loups-garous. Pendant vingt ans, leurs héritiers jumeaux, futurs Alphas, m'ont couverte d'affection. Leur poursuite et leurs faveurs rendaient tout le monde follement jaloux. Mais lorsque j'ai voulu choisir un compagnon, ils m'ont tous les deux rejetée. Kane a dit, « Je veux d'abord me concentrer sur l'expansion de notre territoire. Je ne veux pas trouver une compagne aussi tôt. » Liam a dit, « Les humains ne peuvent pas porter la lignée d'un Alpha. » Le lendemain, lors de mon banquet d'anniversaire, ils ont tous les deux demandé en même temps la main de la fille de la servante Oméga. Pour lui faire plaisir, ils m'ont forcée à boire de la liqueur 'Flamme de Sang', une boisson que les humains ne pouvaient absolument pas supporter. J'étais complètement anéantie. Le jour où j'ai été autorisée à sortir de l'hôpital, j'ai appelé ma mère adoptive. « Je suis prête à épouser le Roi Vampire. »

Le jour où je l’ai vu me rejeter complètement, après la nuit où il m’avait marquée comme sa compagne, mon cœur s’est brisé en un million de morceaux. J’ai regardé Andrew Kane, le redoutable Alpha de la meute Northwest et mon prétendu compagnon. La veille, il m’avait murmuré à l’oreille : « Tu es à moi et à moi seule, Elena. » Mais comment aurais-je pu penser que le même homme se tiendrait devant moi le lendemain en criant : « Je la rejette. Elle n’est pas digne d’être ma Luna. » Nous sommes passés de l’amour à la haine, mais je n’aurais jamais cru que le destin jouerait de tels tours. Même s’il ne voulait pas que je sois sa Luna, il devait le faire pour accomplir son devoir d’Alpha. Forcée à l’épouser, il ne me montrait que de la haine et je voulais me venger à tout prix. Mais que se passe-t-il lorsque l’homme qui ne veut rien avoir à faire avec vous commence à vous faire douter tout en vous couvant de ses attentions sur son lit ?

Renací y volví al día antes de mi boda. ¿Lo primero que hice? Intercambiar de esposo con mi hermana. En mi vida pasada, me casé con Julian, un magnate tecnológico de carácter apacible. Él no podía soportar mi temperamento explosivo, y yo no toleraba lo blando que era. Nuestro matrimonio se vino abajo en menos de un año. Mi hermana, dulce y tímida, estaba comprometida en un matrimonio arreglado con Robin Kane, el Don de la familia criminal más poderosa de Nueva York. Ella no pudo soportar aquella vida brutal y caótica. Torturada por Isabella, la supuesta amor de la infancia de Robin, cayó en una profunda depresión y murió. Así que, cuando volví, tomé una decisión: esta vez, la que se casaría con el Don sería yo. Pero jamás esperé que, después de la boda, aquel Don frío y estoico se convirtiera en un hombre completamente distinto. Cada noche me tenía debajo de él, besándome como si estuviera obsesionado, mientras me susurraba al oído: —Buena chica. Voy a hacerte sentir bien. Solo una vez más, nena.
