夫と結婚して2年も経ったが、ペアローンを申し込もうとした時までは、彼の法律上の妻が別人だったことは知らなかった。 そうだったか。私との「結婚式」というのは単なる私的な儀式に過ぎず、正式に提出された婚姻届には別の女性の名前が書かれたのだ。 法律上では、私は彼の妻ではなく、ただの愛人だった。 傷心して家に帰ると、ドアの外で夫と彼の親友との会話が聞こえた。 「いつも神経が張り詰めているお前を見ていると、こっちまで疲れるよ。まったく！鈴子（すずこ）ちゃんをあれほど愛しているのなら、なぜあの山下美幸（やました みゆき）と婚姻届を出したんだ？お前、一体何を考えているのだ」 宮崎誠（みやさき まこと）は不思議そうに尋ねた。 橋本隆祐（はしもと たかすけ）は複雑な表情を浮かべ、心が混乱しているように口を開いた。 「最初は、美幸のことを鈴子の身代わりだとしか思わなかったが、でも、美幸が去った後、僕は寂しくなり……ほぼ毎日、彼女が恋しくてたまらなかった。結局、彼女をアシスタントとして呼び戻さずにはいられなかった」 数秒後、彼はため息混じりに話し続けた。 「僕には鈴子も美幸も必要だ。だから、鈴子には正々堂々と一緒に暮らしてあげてる。その代わり、美幸には法律上の妻という身分を与えたのだ。公平だろ？」 ドアの外で、私は体が震え、心が引き裂かれるような痛みを感じ、世界が崩れ落ちたような感覚だった。 「鈴子も美幸も必要だ」という彼の言葉を聞いてはじめて、彼が二人の女性を同時に愛してしまったと分かった。 彼は幼なじみの私と一緒にいながらも、愛人も手放したくないようだ。 彼にとって、自分が特別な存在で、彼に至れたり尽くせたりで守られる大切な人だと思い込んでいた。 しかしながら、彼は私をバカにして、私の気持ちを踏みいじった。 真相がわかった時、私は泣きもせず、騒ぎもせず、ただ静かにその場から立ち去った。 そして、計画2件を立て始めた……

When a gorgeous woman comes walking into town and stays, he finds out she's his mate and she's human. Logan takes her out on a date and tries to find a way to tell Riley that they are mates and what he is, but when rogues attack and Riley finds out what Logan truly is, will she stay with him and be his mate, and be his Luna or will she leave?

She was meant to sell books. Not steal a billionaire’s broken heart. Julian Blackwood is a man of power, wealth, and secrets—his name synonymous with control and cold precision. Since the death of his wife, he’s locked love away and drowned his pain in one-night distractions. No strings. No vulnerability. No heart. Then he walks into a small, struggling bookstore—and meets her. Lena Carter is soft-spoken and stubborn, running a little shop that smells like vanilla and paperbacks, where his daughter finds comfort... and where he begins to unravel. Her kindness disarms him. Her touch ignites something wild. And her innocence? It drives him insane. He tells himself it’s wrong. He’s too broken. Too dangerous. But temptation doesn't ask for permission. And once their lips meet, there’s no going back. He’s the fire she never meant to play with. She’s the quiet he never knew he craved. Together, they’ll burn down every rule they thought they had.

J’ignore comment les historiens futurs me jugeront. Me verront-ils comme un despote, un tyran sanguinaire, une folle qui renversa le monde ? Ou bien mes actes auront-ils une telle portée qu’ils rachèteront mes crimes à eux-seuls ? Une chose est certaine, mon nom est gravé si profondément dans le bois de la déesse qu’une éternité serait insuffisante pour l’en effacer. Fille de Seigneur, Luwise Sofunada est éduquée pour succéder à son père. En ce monde pourtant, nul pouvoir n’est héréditaire. Okateï, l’Arbre-Mère qui couvre la terre, désigne ceux qui auront la charge de protéger ses bourgeons. Luwise doit apprendre les devoirs d’une reine et mériter la confiance de la déesse pour hériter du trône. Mais désire-t-elle réellement cette responsabilité ? Alors que son entourage la pousse dans cette voie, les questions se bousculent. Ses doutes atteignent leur paroxysme lorsque se révèle une connexion particulière avec la déesse. Un don que certains considèrent de mauvais augure.

I had no choice but to become the partner of a mafia boss with an incubus bloodline when his heat cycle began. To my surprise, Lionel Andrus and I got along better than I ever imagined. Every night, he held me close, craving more of me, as if we were made for each other. But right before we got our marriage license, my jealous sister, Tracy Rowe, tried to talk me out of it. "Incubi are born flirts," she warned. "How do you know you're his only woman? Once he's bored, he'll toss you aside." In my last life, I had believed her. I called off my engagement with Lionel and, through her introduction, married a "nice guy" named Jamie Stephenson. After we married, Jamie cheated on me and gave me STDs. Desperate, I went to Tracy's house to ask for help. She turned me away with disgust. "You couldn't control your husband and ended up sick, and you actually came asking me for money? How dare you! You have no self-respect. You don't deserve to be my sister!" Right then, she publicly cut ties with me. Even our parents sided with her, calling me a disgrace and refusing to let me step inside the house. In the end, I couldn't take the pain anymore and ended up hanging myself. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the very day Tracy told me not to marry Lionel.

Sam and I have been married for ten years. He always said he would give me the wedding of my dreams. However, three days before the ceremony, my eyes, which had been blind for the past six months after saving Sam’s life, miraculously regained vision. The first thing I saw when I opened them was Sam tangled in bed with his pretty secretary, Alisa. The bed was still shaking while Alisa typed on her phone. She showed it to him, smirking. [Sam, we're out of condoms. Why not ask your blind wife to grab one for us?] Sam’s veins bulged at his temple. His eyes darted toward me in panic. Alisa, however, scoffed and typed again. [What are you so scared of? Your wife’s blind. What’s she gonna see?] Sam sighed in resignation. “Hazel, can you pass me the box of cigarettes from the nightstand?” That cigarette box he mentioned was clearly labeled: Durex Ultra-Thin—Bare Feel. My heart shattered, and I booked a flight to Rockbridge before the wedding. When Sam came running after me, hysterical, I said coldly to him, “Sam. I can see.”
