Five years into their marriage, Sierra Bell never imagined her own husband would ask her to share him with another woman. "She's important to me. I want you to accept her," were his words. He even made a promise to her. "As long as you agree to this, you'll always be my wife. No one can take your place." She had met him at her lowest point. He married her, cherished her, and indulged her in every way. She always thought that no one could ever love her more than him. But now, she realized that everything was just a colossal joke. - John Henderson never expected the delicate canary he had raised to ask him for a divorce. He didn't stop her. He let her go, sure that she would eventually fail on her own and come back begging. But Sierra, soft in name and stubborn in nature, would never look back no matter how hard or painful the journey. He couldn't help but ask, "Can't you just give in for once?" Later, Sierra finally gave in. Right after that, she vanished from his world completely. John, who had never known fear, suddenly found himself terrified. Much later, she reappeared, arm in arm with another man. John, eyes red, cornered her behind a door, half-crazed. "Sierra, you really are heartless!"

— Luna, a cirurgia para remover a marca do Alfa é excruciante. Depois disso, você será tratada como uma renegada sem alcateia. Tem certeza absoluta de que deseja seguir em frente com isso? — Sim. Eu quero ser uma renegada. O curandeiro do mercado negro estava completamente atônito. Todo o mundo dos lobisomens acreditava que o Alfa Ethan estava perdidamente apaixonado por mim. Há apenas alguns dias, ele havia gasto cem milhões de moedas de ouro para me comprar a "Mansão do Luar", enchendo-a com minhas flores da lua favoritas. Inúmeras lobas sonhavam em ser marcadas por um Alfa tão apaixonado e poderoso. Mas eu não hesitei. Após remover a marca, imprimi um Acordo de Rescisão de Vínculo de Companheiros e reservei um voo para uma alcateia europeia para uma semana depois. Adeus, Ethan.

“Luna Selene is gone,” he said. “Until she is found, the pack must not panic. Morale must not break. Our enemies must not sense weakness.” “I—I understand.” His eyes darkened. “No. You don’t.” He studied my face like he was memorising it. “You will take her place.” The world tilted. “What?” “You will act as Luna.” My breath stuttered. “That’s impossible. I I’m just—” “A substitute,” he finished. “Exactly.” My chest tightened. I was no one here. An omega. A giirl; who avoided being noticed. “I can’t do that,” I whispered. “Yes,” he murmured, stepping closer, voice dangerous silk. “You can. And you will. I will protect you,” he added softly. “But from this moment on, you belong to me.” Aria has always lived in the shadows — unnoticed and unremarkable, surviving in a world that rewards power and punishes weakness. But now she is pulled from obscurity and thrust into the Alpha’s world, forced to stand in as the mate for a woman who disappeared, a role she never asked for and cannot refuse. Kieran, the Alpha of Crescent Stone, searches tirelessly for the woman he believes is his fated mate. Aria is meant to be nothing more than a placeholder, a lie to protect the pack from panic. Yet the closer she stands to him, the more his control falters, and the more the Moon seems determined to bend fate in her favour In a world of rival packs, buried secrets, and whispered prophecies, Aria’s presence sets events in motion no one could have predicted. One girl, a stand-in for a missing Luna, may hold the key to unravelling a legacy of loyalty, betrayal, and love — whether the packs survive it, or fall, remains to be seen.

Blurb My mother didn't come back for me. She came back for my face. For nine years, I was the forgotten twin, the one left behind in the mountains while my sister Cara lived a life of runways, cameras, and fame. Then Mom showed up at my door with a devastating request: pretend to be Cara. Just for a little while. Just until she recovers from the accident that shattered her mind and nearly destroyed her career. It was supposed to be simple. Wear her clothes. Smile for the cameras. Be the perfect copy. But nothing about Cara's life is simple. Her world is full of secrets, lies, and a dangerously attractive stranger who looks at me like he knows I'm not who I claim to be. The deeper I sink into her identity, the more I realize: my sister's life isn't just glamorous, it's deadly. And now I'm trapped in a reflection I can't escape. They say every girl wants to be a supermodel. But what if becoming one means losing yourself forever?

Herbert Fischer lets his precious childhood sweetheart dump scalding stew all over me as everyone watches. Worse, he tells me to apologize, all because I said one harsh sentence to her. Tears stream down my face as I ask him, "Is my life worth less than a hair on her head?" He snorts. "Stop overthinking. It's just hot stew—you won't die from a few burns."

« C'est toi et moi, Renarde. Ça a toujours été le cas et ça le sera toujours », grogna Maddox. Je frissonnai à la vue du feu dangereux dans ses yeux. « Réfléchis bien à ta décision. Si tu fais le mauvais choix, nous mourrons tous les deux. » _______ Trahie par sa propre meute et forcée de fuir, Colette, une humaine sans traits de loup-garou, fut stigmatisée comme sorcière et maltraitée par tous les autres loups-garous jusqu'à ce qu'elle parvienne à s'enfuir dans le monde des humains. Alors qu'elle pensait enfin trouver le réconfort dans le monde des humains, sa vie prit un tournant radical et sa paix fut brisée lorsqu'elle croisa Maddox Lennox Cade, le Lycan le plus puissant de l'histoire. Malgré le désintérêt de Maddox pour les humains et la haine de Colette pour les Lycans et les loups-garous, leur connexion révèle un lien encore plus profond. Colette n'est pas seulement la partenaire de Maddox. Ils sont liés par quelque chose qui dépasse le destin : Colette détient la clé d'un pouvoir ancestral qui changera le cours de leur vie à jamais. Colette parviendra-t-elle à affronter son passé ? Fera-t-elle confiance à l'être qui a le pouvoir de la détruire ? Maddox l'abandonnera-t-il ou aidera-t-il son partenaire à surmonter ces épreuves ?

My son, Scott Gould, suddenly tells me that he has leukemia. Then, he goes on to say that his biggest wish is to see Ivanna Newman in a wedding dress. My husband, Theodore Gould, agrees with Scott. "I'll hold a wedding with Ivanna. Once Scott is done with his treatment, we'll get remarried." I gladly agree to the request and divorce Theodore. Not long after, I learn from Scott's social media that he's attending the wedding of Theodore and his childhood sweetheart, Ivanna. The caption he writes says, "I'm so happy for Dad. I can't help but shed tears for true love." I smile and turn off my phone. Holding the hand of the person next to me, I board a plane to Wismuth.

“You have no idea what you’re asking for, do you?” he said.   I felt a slight sting of offence. “And what was that supposed to mean?”   He took a step closer, his face dangerously close to mine. I could feel the air shift. His presence filled the room. His hand moved to my cheek, stroking it lightly.   “I have a good feeling this isn’t your thing because you look like a doe in a den of wolves.” His voice dropped to a quiet, low rumble, making my stomach flip with excitement. Ayra had been the perfect wife—loyal, accomplished, and willing to sacrifice everything for the man she loved. But when he betrayed her with the one person she despised most, she didn't beg or cry. Instead, she slammed the divorce papers in his face and walked away. A reckless one-night stand with this dangerously charming stranger seems like freedom until she discovers his true identity. As Ayra fights to rebuild her life, a figure from her forgotten past reappears, threatening to change everything. She’s not just leaving her old life behind, she’s determined to create a better one.
