Cengel Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach

“There is someone I would like you all to meet,” Lucian said, breaking the silence as he turned to stare down at her in a loving manner, a way he had never looked at me before, “the mother of my child.” My eyes widened in shock as I took in the sight of her swollen belly, a clear evidence of her pregnancy. The mother of my child? What did he mean by that? ***** Selena, the resilient Luna of Blood Moon Pack, was promised to her husband, the Alpha of Crescent Moon Pack. But, she was abandoned by him after their wedding. Mocked by her mother-in-law, and with the help of the stunning Beta, Logan, she’s able to handle the pack’s affairs in anticipation of her husband’s return. Three years later, her dearest husband betrays her by returning with his pregnant mate and is determined to kick her out of the pack regardless of her contributions and dedication. Despite her hurt, Selena is determined to not allow her husband to ruin everything she had worked so hard for, especially when she is certain the pack would need her now more than ever. But secrets bigger than Selena’s resilience reside in the heart of Crescent Moon Pack, and the sudden spark of a mate bond she had believed she would never experience threatens to change everything she has ever known to be true.

Prostitution war nicht gerade die Zukunft, die sich Ariella vorgestellt hatte. Doch eine Reihe unglücklicher Ereignisse führte sie in ein Bordell, aus dem es kein Entrinnen gab. Bis Killian Morozcov ihr Retter in der Not war. Er benahm sich, als gehöre ihm die Welt, und schoss Männern, die ihn schief ansahen, Kugeln in den Kopf. Er kam ins Bordell und ging mit ihr, und egal wie sehr sie ihn anflehte, er weigerte sich, ihr den Grund zu nennen. Ariella hatte gelernt, dass man entweder zurücksticht oder selbst hinterrücks angegriffen wird. Doch Killian zeigte ihr eine Seite von Menschlichkeit, die sie nie zuvor gesehen hatte, und ihre Abwehr brach zusammen. So begann eine Liebe, von der beide wussten, dass sie nicht von Dauer sein konnte. Er war der Erbe eines Mafia-Imperiums, und sie war ein Mädchen aus einem Bordell ohne familiäre Unterstützung. Ihre Liebe war zum Scheitern verurteilt, sobald Killian sie rettete. Vor allem, weil er das falsche Mädchen rettete. Er war ins Bordell gegangen, weil er Ariella für seine verschollene Schwester Stella Morozcov hielt. Er hatte sich geirrt, und während er weiter nach Stella suchte, verliebte er sich in Ariella. So sehr, dass er glaubte, ohne sie nicht atmen zu können. Ihre Liebe ruht auf nichts als Schmerz und Lügen … auf Leichen im Keller. Beide hüten Geheimnisse, die sie zu zerstören drohen. Doch die Vergangenheit ist ein seltsames Ding … egal wie sehr man vor ihr flieht, sie holt einen am Ende immer ein.

Content Warning: This book is rated +18 and is intended for adults only. It delves into explicit sexual content, graphic language and morally questionable themes. “Tell me, Summer” he said quietly, voice dropping seductively low, his hot breath fanning the back of my neck. “Are you tired of playing the devoted little wife to my brother?” The question hit like a direct blow to the gut.  My breath hitched.  This was so wrong, I told myself over and over, my fists clenching so hard. But still, it didn't stop my pussy from pulsing so fast.  I clenched my thighs, hard, but it was pointless. The ache was already too intense. I felt soaked, strung tight. I could feel my juice sliding down my thigh. He was close. Too close.  If I had moved back an inch, I would have felt his chest against my back. I hated how much I wanted that. I hated how badly I craved something I should never have entertained.  He was my brother-in-law.  DIRTY AFFAIRS is an Erotic Compilation that dives into the kind of decadent desire that leaves you soaking wet one dirty chapter at a time. Behind closed doors, lovers give in to cravings they've denied for far too long— cravings that bind, bruise, consume and heal in equal measure.  Each story unwraps a different forbidden thrill: long-buried obsession reignited at cozy reunions, dangerous chemistry with one person you shouldn't want, irresistible pull toward someone who sees every secret hunger you thought you've tucked safely away. Here, characters surrender to passion that is both tender and consuming—power play, obsession, temptation, tension that coils tight as ribbon around a gift meant to be opened slowly…or ripped.
