Best Stand Alone Sci Fi Books

What do 26 years of friendship, plus 26 years of pent-up, sexual frustration, and one drunken, exciting, night on the beach get me? I just found out I'm pregnant with my best friend's baby... How the hell am I supposed to tell him that we're having a baby together? How will he react, and will he want this blessing just as much as I do? What's even worse is our parents have started to date each other... What does that mean for Cole and me?

What happens when you have a steamy one night stand with your best friend's brother —yeah, the one you hate— and he returns for more? ********************************** Joan Madison has always despised Aaron Thompson, her best friend's arrogant, insufferable brother. The feeling was mutual—until it wasn't. A vacation meant for relaxation with her friend Rhoda takes a different turn when Joan finds herself tangled in a steamy, reckless encounter with the one man she swore she’d never want. What should’ve been a fleeting mistake becomes something far more dangerous as Aaron refuses to let her go—and his hunger for her only deepens. Jo’s trapped between desire and defiance, but one thing is clear: this game they’ve started could burn them both.

Everyone said I was lucky. After the Don, Lucas Vaughn, brought me back to his estate, I became the woman he treasured most. He would halt billion-dollar deals just to be home on time to put me to sleep. He even learned sign language in secret, just so he could communicate with me after my vocal cords were damaged. At first, I didn’t dare give him my heart. Whenever he looked at me, his focus would drift. He showered me with gifts, yet always disappeared on the days that mattered most. As the child in my womb grew, and as Lucas’s devotion intensified day by day, I let my guard down. I devoted myself completely to the role of wife and Donna. Until the night I gave birth. I hemorrhaged during a difficult labor, but Lucas never showed up. After surviving by sheer luck, I finally saw the trending news. Lucas attended a Thames-side gala arm-in-arm with rising movie star, Serena Vale. That was when I understood. To him, I had only ever been a substitute. He broke his rules for her again and again. He indulged her humiliations toward me and even shoved me toward armed attackers at the brink of life and death. Filled with hatred, I closed my eyes and sank into the deep sea, just as he wished. Later, he knelt, clutching the hem of my dress, begging, "Zoe, please give me one more chance. I’ll repay you with my life." His life was worth too little now. I no longer wanted it.

Matapos malaman ni Mallory Natividad na ang kapatid at boyfriend niya ay may relasyon at suportado pa ito ng mga magulang niya ay naisipan niyang pumunta sa isang bar sa pag-asang makakalimutan niya ang nakita at ilabas lahat ng sakit na nararamdaman niya. Pero nagkakamali siya dahil kahit ilang baso na ang nainom niya ay hindi pa rin siya nakakalimot. Naglasing siya nang naglasing hanggang sa may lumapit sa kaniya na lalaki. Sa sobrang kalasingan niya ay hindi na siya umangal nang inaya siya nito papunta sa kung saan. May ideya na siya sa kung anong mangyayari sa kanilang dalawa pero sa halip na matakot siya ay para bang gusto niya rin ito. Ang gabi nila ay parehong nagtapos sa isang mainit at masarap nang magkasama sa iisang kama. Kinabukasan, nang makita niya ang lalaking nakasiping niya ay hindi siya makapaniwala nang nakilala niya ito. Ito ay si Cargorios Mertimor, kilala bilang isa sa pinakabata at pinakamayaman sa buong mundo— at higit sa lahat ay kilala bilang isang womanizer. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang gagawin niya kaya dali-dali na lang siyang umalis nang hindi nagigising ang lalaki.

Pipiliin niya ba ang sarili niyang kasiyahan, o ang kapakanan ng kaniyang anak na nasa kaniyang sinapupunan?

For eight years, I was James Carter's secretary and secret lover. Eight years of giving him my heart completely. I truly believed he loved me back - he was always tender and attentive when we were intimate, seemingly caring about my every need and desire. But then I overheard him telling others, "She's nothing but a stand-in, just someone to satisfy my physical needs when I'm bored. Did you really think I would marry her?" In that moment, I finally found the strength to let go and stop loving him. I handed in my resignation and walked away from it all. Yet after my whirlwind marriage to someone else, why did he suddenly start searching for me desperately across the city? Now he's here with tears in his eyes, claiming I'm the one he truly loves? Wasn't I just his convenient replacement all along?

After a falling out with my long-distance boyfriend, I decide to secretly fly home to patch things up with him. Unexpectedly, I catch him fooling around at home with his secretary. "Do you need to be so mad? I only got someone to act as your stand-in. Ultimately, you're still the one I love." I listen to his preposterous lies and hide my stomach cancer diagnosis behind my back. I say, "It's not a bad idea to gather more of these fakes. You won't be too upset when I'm dead." But after I die, he loses his mind when he looks at his secretary's face.
