Caitlin Blackwood

Angleterre, 1875. Léna Morel, dix-huit ans, quitte la France pour suivre sa famille à Bristol, où son père, industriel ambitieux, espère asseoir sa fortune. Destinée à un mariage arrangé avec Adrien de Montreuil, un héritier aristocrate charmant mais calculateur, Léna voit sa vie tracée d’avance : bals, devoirs, convenances. Jusqu’au jour où son regard croise celui de Noah Blackwood, un jeune docker au passé trouble. Rebelle, mystérieux et farouchement libre, il appartient à un monde qui lui est interdit : celui des bas-quartiers, des luttes ouvrières et des secrets honteux. Malgré la barrière des classes, une attirance irrépressible les unit, faite de défis, de silences et d’étincelles. Leur relation naît dans l’ombre, entre rendez-vous clandestins et lettres cachées. Mais Noah cache un secret qui pourrait ruiner non seulement sa vie, mais aussi celle de Léna : il est lié malgré lui à un réseau criminel tenu par les élites mêmes que fréquente la famille Morel. Alors que les tensions sociales grondent et que le piège d’Adrien se referme, Léna doit choisir : suivre la voie qu’on a tracée pour elle, sûre mais étouffante, ou plonger dans l’inconnu avec Noah, quitte à perdre son rang, sa famille… et peut-être sa vie. Dans une Angleterre en pleine mutation, où la passion et le devoir s’entrechoquent, Léna et Noah devront braver leurs propres démons pour s’aimer. Mais à quel prix ?

The notorious Alpha of the Black Wolf pack, Kellen Blackwood, is feared throughout the entire pack for his violent temper. Yet, everyone knows he adores his mate, Lilith Hayes. I am only an Omega, the lowest rank among werewolves, and I haven't awakened my wolf by the age of 18. Even though I became a laughingstock in the Black Wolf pack, Kellen still treats me as the love of his life. He always says I am as pure as moonlight, and he's willing to bow his head and surrender his pride for me. I believe him. Despite my family's objections, I become his mate. For five years, we have been together. He cherishes me like a priceless treasure. The Alpha Kellen, who shows no mercy outside, cooks meals for me and takes care of our home with his own hands. The fearsome leader, who never bows to anyone, gently lowers his head and shows deference to me. When my brother, Rex Hayes, breaks werewolf law, Kellen is the one who accompanies me to find someone who will testify for him. But on the day of the trial, the only person who can prove Rex's innocence, Ella Foster, is nowhere to be found. Rex is convicted of assault instead of being cleared for self-defense. The moment Rex is found guilty, Kellen is the first to stand and applaud in agreement. I lose control and run to confront Ella, demanding to know why she turned her back on us at the last moment. Ella clutches her stomach, tears rolling down her face, her voice trembling as she says, "Rex really is at fault. I can't just stand by and let my father be blamed for something he didn't do!" I stand there in shock, and then Kellen appears behind me. "Lilith, Ella is pregnant with my pup. I can't let anything happen to the pup she's carrying. Rex's punishment is exile to the Frozen Wastes. Compared to everything Ella has lost, that's already merciful."

Mi prometido, Victor Blackwood, es el Don de la mafia que controla el bajo mundo de todo el país con mano de hierro. Para los demás, él es la personificación del poder. Pero para mí… era el amor hecho hombre. Nunca imaginé el precio de amar a un hombre como él. En el Día de San Valentín preparé sus comidas favoritas y lo esperé en casa. Sin embargo, las horas pasaron, el vino se enfrió… y su silla seguía vacía. Con un mal presentimiento, abrí la red social de Queenie Stone, su «hermana adoptiva», quien había publicado: «Solo bastó que le dijera que me sentía sola… para que viniera enseguida. Incluso, aunque derramé vino sobre él, no se enojó. Victor siempre ha sido así… La familia para él es lo primero, aunque eso signifique dejar a su novia esperando. Nunca me falla. Ojalá nada cambie». En la foto, la camisa de Victor estaba empapada a la altura de la cintura, y el pañuelo de Queenie descansaba de manera peligrosa cerca de su entrepierna… Él ni siquiera se había apartado… sino que solo la miraba con ternura. No hice ningún escándalo. Solo le di «me gusta» a su publicación y luego le envié un simple mensaje: «Terminamos.» Pero como siempre… lo ignoró. Después supe que, al ver mi mensaje, él se limitó a comentar: —Vivienne no puede vivir sin mí. Solo está haciendo un berrinche. Si la ignoro un par de días, volverá arrastrándose. Es fácil de contentar. Lo que él no sabía… era que yo solo era fácil porque lo amaba. Pero ahora que decidí irme, no hay vuelta atrás… No importa lo que haga.

I had loved my best friend's Alpha heir brother Marcus Steele for ten years. After my first shift, I was thrilled to discover he was actually my mate. Without hesitation, I gave up my position as Alpha heiress of the Crimson Pack and joined the Moonridge Pack. I spent three years doing everything I could think of to win him over. Finally, he agreed to our binding. Just as I was happily preparing to discuss our mating ceremony with him, I overheard his conversation with his Beta. "Alpha, are you really planning to hold a mating ceremony with Aria Blackwood? Serena is still carrying your child..." The man's eyes were dark and unreadable. "That's right. Even though Serena is pregnant with my child, my father has been dissatisfied with me. This time I have no choice but to marry Aria to appease him. After all, she's the Alpha heiress of the most powerful Crimson Pack. If I marry her, father will definitely let me inherit the Alpha position." "Aren't you afraid Aria will find out about Serena and cause trouble for her?" "No way. After all these years, I know exactly what kind of person she is. I'll just sweet-talk her a bit and she'll obediently listen to me. Besides, that's my bloodline. She'll have to accept it." I felt like I'd been struck by lightning. I stumbled outside in a daze, only to be ambushed by enemy rogue wolves. I was poisoned with silver, and because help didn't arrive in time, the silver toxin spread through my bloodstream to my brain. After three days and nights in a coma, I woke up having forgotten all memories of the man I had once loved with all my heart. Ever since I came to the Moonridge Pack, my parents called every month asking me to come home. This time I dialed my father's number and told him: "I don't want to be the Moonridge Pack's Luna anymore. I want to be Crimson's Alpha."

"I'm 40 you're 21," he whispered softly, his lips grazing my nipple, hot breath sending shivers down my spine as his tongue flicked out, teasing the hardened peak. "I don't care!" I shot back amidst breathy moans, my fingers tangling in his dark hair, pressing his head deeper into my boobs, arching my back to feed him more. "I'm your mum's husband. I'm your stepdad, old enough to be your real dad," he murmured again, his right hand tracing, torturous path down my trembling stomach, dipping between my thighs to brush against my soaked panties. "I said I don't care!!!" I growled, grabbing his wrist and forcing his fingers faster. "Fuck the age, fuck the rules, make me yours!" ______ Adrian Blackwood, the hottest, most dangerously sexy beast I've ever laid eyes on turns out to be my stepfather. You heard that right, my mum's husband! The man who could make me wet with just a single stare, with his towering muscles, tattooed arms, and those piercing gray eyes that strip me bare. One ride in his SUV and I want a real ride. I'm just 21 in college, but he's 40, old enough to be my dad? Who the hell cares! As long as he pins me down, and wrecks me with pleasure that leaves me begging, I'll sin with him every damn night. Taboo? Bring it on. ‘Sinfully Yours, Step Daddy!’ is a boundary smashing blaze you can't read in public or alone (unless you're ready to touch yourself nonstop). Dive into Ava with Stepdad, professor, step dad's best friend, the sugar doctor, Ava's unapologetic slut era, craving daddies. Walk in horny, walk out dripping satisfied. Grab it now, your panties or boxers won't survive! Steamy age gap taboo romance packed with dominance that'll have you screaming for more.

The day before our mating ceremony, my Alpha mate suddenly demanded I give him five hundred thousand dollars. "You're just an Omega. Even if you're pregnant, you have no right to become the pack's Luna. But our pack is facing a financial crisis right now. We don't have enough weapons or healing supplies. If you can provide funding, the pack might accept a generous Luna who contributes to our survival." To help me, Dad emptied his entire life savings: "I'm old now. Seeing you happy is enough for me. I understand Damon's position as the pack's Alpha. This money—I'll pay it for you." But shortly after the mating ceremony, Dad was sent by my mate to the frontline battlefield to fight rogue wolves. He was severely injured in combat. I couldn't afford the expensive healing herbs he needed. I had no choice Damon Blackwood to help me save my father's life. I never expected his account balance to show only a few dollars! I demanded answers. He accused me of scheming against him and dragged me straight to the pack healer to force an abortion. "You just became Luna and you're already plotting against me? Think having my pup gives you power over me? Let me tell you the truth—I don't lack women willing to bear my children!" I worked every job I could find and borrowed money from everyone I knew. But I still couldn't afford those expensive herbs. The day Dad died, I couldn't even buy him a decent burial plot in the pack cemetery. On my way home from the funeral, I saw Damon with another woman in a luxury jewelry store, selecting expensive pieces. "Turns out all Omegas are the same—always scheming. I thought Sage was different from other women. Didn't realize she was just another gold-digger trying to climb the social ladder by becoming Luna. I guess I lost this bet. Pick any gemstone you want, baby. I'm buying." But when I finally gave up and turned to leave for good, he broke down crying and begged me not to go.

Mary Blackwood n'aurait jamais imaginé que sa vie soigneusement construite s'écroulerait.
