Bubble Gum Valeria

Kesley Bellamy has perfected the art of sabotaging blind dates — for a price. When her best friend begs her to scare off yet another setup, Kesley agrees. A thousand dollars to act crazy for an hour? Easy money. She'll chew gum like a maniac, mention her pot-smoking habit, and maybe proposition the guy for good measure. He'll run screaming, and she'll finally fix her dying laptop. But the man who walks into that restaurant isn't the balding, boring businessman she expected. He's Niklaus Specter — the devastatingly handsome CEO of SpecterTech. The same company Kelsey just applied to. The same company that's her last hope of breaking into the tech industry as a female developer. Worse? He doesn't run away. He finds her antics... intriguing. Now Kesley has three days to transform from "Taraji Gilbert" — the pot-smoking, sex-crazed teacher who just propositioned him — into Kesley Bellamy, the professional data analyst who desperately needs this job. But Niklaus Specter didn't become a billionaire by missing details. And when Kesley walks into her interview on Monday morning, she's about to discover that some mistakes are too expensive to hide. Especially when the CEO remembers everything. A hilarious, steamy romance about mistaken identities, second chances, and the fine line between disaster and destiny.

Antes de la boda, descubrí que llevaba más de dos meses embarazada. Leobardo Ríos, algo ebrio, acarició mi vientre y bromeó a medias: —Verónica Vega, aún no estoy preparado para ser padre. ¿Y si no tenemos este bebé? Con el corazón en calma, respondí suavemente: —Está bien. En mi vida pasada, había insistido en quedarme con ese hijo. Pero, cuando Valeria Sánchez perdió el suyo por accidente y quedó con secuelas para volver a concebir, Leobardo me guardó rencor. Después de la boda, su actitud hacia mí fue completamente fría, mientras el hijo que había traído al mundo tras un parto difícil, que casi me costó la vida… lloraba, deseando que Valeria fuera su madre. Más tarde, cuando tuve un accidente de coche y me desangraba, padre e hijo pasaron junto a mí con total indiferencia, con tal de poder llegar a tiempo al parto de Valeria. Mientras yo moría desangrada, ellos celebraban con efusividad una nueva vida. Por eso, en esta nueva oportunidad, no volveré a perderme a mí misma ni tomaré el camino equivocado, por lo que, sin más, marqué el número del director, para anunciarle: —Estoy dispuesta a unirme a la expedición polar.

Romance, seducción y un dulce sabor a venganza. Destruida por la traición de su prometido, Patricio Garza, Valeria Rivas hace lo impensable en una noche de desesperación: llama a la puerta de Damián Figueroa, el enigmático y peligrosamente atractivo magnate al que todos temen y desean en secreto. Lo que sigue es una noche de rendición absoluta, un fuego que consume toda razón y la deja marcada para siempre. Para Valeria, fue un acto impulsivo de revancha contra el hombre que le rompió el corazón. Poco imaginaba que acababa de caer en la red exquisitamente tejida por Damián, un hombre acostumbrado a conseguir siempre, exactamente, lo que desea.

La infidelidad la convirtió en el foco de los chismes de la ciudad, un hazmerreír público. ¿Quién diría que su caída más estrepitosa la llevaría directamente a los brazos del hombre más poderoso e inalcanzable de todos? Ella creyó que esa noche prohibida sería un borrón y cuenta nueva, un adiós silencioso. Él decidió que era solo el principio de su plan.

Su mirada arde con una mezcla de reproche y una posesión que la hace estremecer. —¿Creíste que podías usarme y luego marcharte como si nada? Desde entonces, escapar se vuelve una fantasía inútil. Cada noche, Damián la reclama, llevándola al límite entre el dolor y un placer adictivo que la deja temblando, agotada pero sintiéndose, para su propia confusión, más viva que nunca. «¡Dios mío! ¿Por qué este hombre... por qué es tan imposible resistirme a él?»

Pero seis meses después de casarnos, lo escuché por casualidad hablando con su amigo: —Samuel, parece que la hipnosis de este año ha sido un éxito.
