“Go on ten dates with me. I’ll prove I’m not the man you think I am. And I’ll give you a million dollars.” Cas said, looking at me like he was making a business deal. “Is this another way to have sex with me, because it’s becoming kind of desperate. ” “One million dollars. I will draw up a contract. Sex will not be one of the requirements to get the money.” “And what do you get out of it?” I asked, wondering if this was too good to be true. “You won’t get me.” “We’ll see,” Cas replied with an arrogant smirk that I wanted to smack off his face. “Do we have a deal?" ----- The arrogant billionaire Cassius Hemming is intrigued by the single mother, Ripley. Not only does she show no interest in him, while most women throw themselves at his feet, she actually shows distaste when talking to him. Cassius has always wanted what he can't have, and as a billionaire, there isn't much he is unable to buy. He is determined to win Ripley over and then punish her for rejecting him in the first place. So Cas makes Ripley a deal she can't refuse. Go on ten dates with him, and he'll pay off all her debt. But what happens when the billionaire's plan backfires?    

“Are you trying to punish me? I…I don't know how many times I can apologize even if it wasn't my fault that I almost—” “I never asked you to. You do whatever you want, Niya, and I really don't care. Neither should you bother with what I do.” “You're hurt. You're hurt, Alex, and you're acting out. Don't worry we could talk this through. This isn't you.” I try to reach him again but he shoots me a deadly glare that pierces through my skin like a dagger. “Sure it is. You've just never seen me like this. You don't know what I look like when I'm not in love with you,” his brows grow together. “Now we’ve had enough of your drama. You'll find the papers and enjoy the party or use the fucking door.” He pulls away and my eyes cloud again. My ears and heart find it hard to process what is actually going on. The looks on their faces tell me it is awfully too late—I have already lost everything. “Niya, careful now,” my grandmother slowly tugs at my arm as if that will somehow make everything better. “We have guests. Don’t cause a scene.” A scene? I have literally just seen a whole movie, ma. ************* My name is Niya Kendrick. I’m 25, an author who once believed she had the perfect life. But how quickly can everything I love be stripped away in the blink of an eye? Or worse, what if the life, the family I’ve cherished has always been a blatant lie, a mere fragment of the truth? Now, I’m awake, and reality is far harsher than any dream.

Luna is a fierce vaewolf hybrid from the Alpha Family. They think that if she will be mated to another powerful immortal, they will dominate the omega and beta families in the underground world. Luna agreed to be mated to another immortal in one condition. He should be stronger than her or as strong as she is. Many tried to be her mate, yet no one could beat her. Until Lucien showed on the battleground, the immortal who owns her heart. But there is a rule, once the two immortal enter the battleground, only the strongest shall remain alive and the other should die. Unless both of them possessed the same strength and power. Luna felt fear. She’s afraid that the pure-blooded vampire she loves will turn into ashes with her own hands. She knows that a vaewolf hybrid like her can only love once in her entire life. Will she sacrifice her happiness for the sake of the Alpha Family even if it means killing him, or she will break the rule of the underground world and run away with him?

For eight years, Cecilia Moore was the perfect Luna, loyal, and unmarked. Until the day she found her Alpha mate with a younger, purebred she-wolf in his bed. In a world ruled by bloodlines and mating bonds, Cecilia was always the outsider. But now, she's done playing by wolf rules. She smiles as she hands Xavier the quarterly financials-divorce papers clipped neatly beneath the final page. “You're angry?” he growls. “Angry enough to commit murder,” she replies, voice cold as frost. A silent war brews under the roof they once called home. Xavier thinks he still holds the power-but Cecilia has already begun her quiet rebellion. With every cold glance and calculated step, she's preparing to disappear from his world-as the mate he never deserved. And when he finally understands the strength of the heart he broke... It may be far too late to win it back.

“I never planned to fall for him… my boss, my sin, my secret. I am his mistress.” Akala ni Clara trabaho lang ang makukuha niya sa Velasco Corporation, pero isang gabi lang sa piling ng kanyang guwapong CEO na si Dominic, nagbago ang lahat.

"Why can’t you just leave me alone?" Valentina snarled, breath hitching as she shoved against the bark of the tree behind her. He stepped closer, eyes glowing with an untamed hunger. In one swift, possessive motion, he pinned her hands above her head, his lips grazing the pulse at her neck—dangerously close to the spot only a mate should touch. “Because, little wolf,” he whispered, his voice dark velvet against her skin, “you belong to me—and I’m done pretending otherwise.” _______ Stabbed by the man she once loved and betrayed by the friend she trusted most, Valentina was reborn in the ashes of heartbreak. No longer the obedient luna of the Shadow Crust pack, she rises from the shadows to reclaim her life—and her power. But home is no longer safe. Her pack is in ruins. Her father? Bewitched by a mysterious woman named Carmella. And fate? Cruel, as always. Because waiting for her in the heart of the storm is the man she should never desire—Andres Donovan, the cold and dangerously obsessive Lycan King… and her second-chance mate. He watches her with eyes full of secrets, speaks in riddles that echo of a past she can’t remember, and touches her like he’s been starving for centuries. But as enemies close in, alliances fracture, and war brews over the divine blood flowing in her veins, Valentina must decide: Will she fight fate again… Or surrender to the one man who could ruin her—or save her?

Bercerai dan menikah lagi, aku sudah lupa berapa kali aku dan Rangga rujuk dalam pernikahan. Dia pernah memperlakukanku seperti sesuatu yang berharga, tetapi kurang dari setahun setelah pernikahan kami, dia mengajukan perceraian pertama kami. Alasannya sederhana, Sarah akan kembali. “Sarah itu seorang tokoh publik,” katanya padaku. “Aku tak ingin ada yang mengira dia terlibat dengan pria beristri.” Selebritas tingkat rendah itu tidak punya apa pun kecuali pengorbanan ayahnya. Ayahnya dulu rela mati demi Rangga, halangi peluru demi dia, nyawa ganti nyawa. Dan karena itu, Rangga merasa berutang segalanya padanya. Setiap kali Sarah kembali ke negara ini, Rangga menceraikanku. Dan setiap kali Sarah pergi, kami menikah lagi. Pertama kali kami berpisah, aku menenggelamkan air mataku dalam wiski dan terhuyung-huyung kembali ke rumahnya dalam keadaan setengah mabuk. Lampu di dalam terasa hangat, Rangga bersamanya. Sementara aku berdiri di luar, menggigil sepanjang malam. Kali kedua, aku mengikuti setiap gerak-geriknya—restoran, lelang, acara amal—hanya untuk ‘tak sengaja’ ketemu dengannya lagi. Kemudian, aku belajar lebih baik. Saat dia menyebut kata cerai, aku akan diam-diam mengepak koperku dan menghilang dari rumahnya. Cinta dan penghinaan telah membuatku terjebak dalam siklus putus-nyambung dengannya yang tiada habisnya. Namun kali ini, ketika Rangga menungguku di Kantor Catatan Sipil untuk menikah lagi, aku tak pernah muncul...
