Lira, une fée douce et protectrice, vit en harmonie avec la nature dans une forêt enchantée. Son monde paisible est bouleversé lorsqu’elle rencontre Volarion, un dragon légendaire, le dernier de son espèce, qui lutte contre sa solitude et la malédiction d’être le dernier de sa lignée. Après qu’un éclair ait failli le détruire, Lira le soigne et une connexion profonde se tisse entre eux, marquée par un amour improbable. Mais leur amour naissant n’est pas sans dangers. Un groupe d’ennemis, comprenant des sorcières anciennes, des chevaliers d'élite et un puissant seigneur des ténèbres, voit leur union comme une menace à leur pouvoir. Les sorcières, jalouses de la magie pure que Lira incarne, cherchent à détruire l'équilibre entre les royaumes naturels et magiques. Les chevaliers, dévoués à éradiquer toute créature surnaturelle, cherchent à éliminer Volarion pour empêcher le retour des dragons dans le monde. Enfin, le seigneur des ténèbres, avide de pouvoir, désire capturer Volarion pour exploiter ses pouvoirs et contrôler les éléments. Lira et Volarion devront combattre ces forces opposées tout en protégeant leur amour fragile. Ils devront trouver des alliés improbables, découvrir des secrets enfouis depuis des siècles et faire face à des choix déchirants pour protéger ce qu'ils ont commencé à construire. Leur amour est leur plus grande force, mais aussi leur plus grande faiblesse dans un monde où tout semble conspirer pour les séparer.

Quand Fleure Monet, brillante architecte au bord de la faillite, reçoit une proposition de mariage de la part d’Aaron Valesco, richissime héritier d’un empire immobilier, elle croit d’abord à une mauvaise plaisanterie. Mais l’offre est réelle et urgente : pour hériter de la direction du groupe familial, Aaron doit se marier avant ses 30 ans… dans trente jours. Le contrat est clair : un an de mariage, pas de sentiments, pas d’intimité, et une séparation propre une fois les objectifs atteints. En échange, Fleure verra toutes ses dettes effacées, et un projet de rêve financé en son nom. Mais certaines clauses sont plus ambiguës qu’il n’y paraît. Chaque mois, une nouvelle condition s’ajoute, imposée par Aaron ou Fleure, à tour de rôle. Jeux de pouvoir, secrets d’enfance, jalousies inattendues... peu à peu, leurs murs tombent. Et si le plus grand piège n’était pas le contrat, mais ce qu’ils commencent à ressentir… en dehors de toute clause écrite ?

Zoé, 29 ans, est une illustratrice un peu maladroite mais brillante, qui noie ses insomnies dans des litres de café, des podcasts sur l’amour toxique… et les sextoys qu’elle teste pour son blog anonyme. Elle pense avoir tout compris de l'amour jusqu'à ce qu’elle tombe (littéralement) dans les bras de Jules, un photographe ténébreux qui lui donne envie d’effacer toutes ses règles. Mais il y a Raphaël, son meilleur ami depuis dix ans, confident de toutes ses crises existentielles, qui l’aime en silence… sauf que maintenant, il ne se tait plus. Alors que Jules l’entraîne dans un tourbillon de passion charnelle, entre jeux interdits et confessions à demi-nus, Raphaël, lui, lui offre une tendresse brûlante, pleine de regards qui savent déjà tout d’elle. Zoé, tiraillée entre la brûlure du désir et la douceur du cœur, se perd dans un triangle aussi torride que cruel. Entre scènes sulfureuses, maladresses hilarantes (et orgasmes imprévus), Zoé va devoir faire un choix. Mais l’amour n’a rien d’un scénario bien rangé. Et parfois, aimer, c’est aussi faire mal à soi, ou à l’autre. Un roman où on rit, on pleure, on soupire… et on fond.

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."

Everyone swore Maya was the love of his life—his one true love, his everything. Touched beyond words, she finally gathered the courage to say yes. …Until the day she discovered Oscar secretly marrying her half-sister, Diana Beckham. She stormed toward him like a woman possessed, her voice trembling with rage. "Explain." Oscar met her fury with infuriating calm. "You vanished without a word four years ago. Diana stayed. Now she's dying—this is her last wish. How could I refuse?" Maya's lips curled into a faint, unreadable smile. What Oscar didn't know? She was the one diagnosed with a difficult illness back then.

Justin Davidson and Eva Walker, the long-lost heiress of the Walker family, fell in love. But Eva's adopted sister, Stella, drove a wedge between them. Even after Stella’s death, Justin couldn’t let go of her. He trampled Eva’s dignity, hurt her body, and forced her to wear Stella’s wedding dress and ring when he proposed. Eva’s parents only had eyes for Stella, too. To pressure Eva further, Justin even went so far as to hurt Eva's grandmother, the one who had raised her. On the day of the wedding rehearsal, Eva finally decided to walk away. However, when the truth came out, Justin dropped to his knees and begged her not to leave.

My wife, Ivy Hart, is about to give birth to the baby she conceived with Toby Clayton, her first love. Her parents hire ten bodyguards to stand guard outside the delivery room. Cora Norris, Ivy's mother, takes Ivy's hand and remarks, "Don't worry, Ivy. We'll make sure he can't get within two feet of you! Your dad is standing guard outside with the bodyguards. If he dares to stop you from having the baby, we'll report him to the police!" Ivy nods, her complexion pale, but she instinctively looks toward the door anyway. She doesn't see why I can't be more understanding of her. All she wants to do is help Toby have a child to carry on his family name. The birth proceeds without me showing up to cause a scene. She smiles gladly when she sees the crying baby in the nurse's arms. She thinks to herself that if I visit her tomorrow, she is willing to forget all about our previous fights. She is even willing to let me be the baby's father. What she doesn't know is that I've already submitted my application to the Alliance of Nations. In seven days, I will be leaving the country to become a field doctor for the Frontline Medical Corp, a humanitarian organization. I won't be coming back ever again.

The life trial system "If You Think You Can Do Better, Prove It" burst onto the scene like a traveling circus promising wonders. The idea was plain enough: "If you reckon someone's life is a mess, and you think you can do better, go ahead and prove it. There's a reward waiting if you do." Before I knew it, my whole family had me pegged for the fool in the middle of the show. There was my mother, dreaming of turning me into some grand goose; my husband, who'd spent years dodging his rightful share of the family load; and my son, mortified by the very sight of me. They shoved me onto the "judgment seat" like I was the villain of the tale. Every last one of them swore up and down that, given my place, they'd manage my life better than I ever could. The stakes? Well, if they pulled it off, my consciousness would be erased—gone, wiped out like a mistake on a chalkboard—and turned into their personal servant. On top of that, they'd waltz off with a cool million dollars. But if they couldn't? Then I'd be the one raking in three million dollars. Now that's a gamble for the ages, isn't it?
