Devil's Deal Book

BLURB Maya Blackwood has spent five years as the perfect wife to a man who doesn't love her. But when a terminal diagnosis gives her only six months to live, Maya finally finds the courage to demand what she's never had: one month of being Alexander's real wife. Alexander Blackwood has spent those same five years resenting the arrangement that tore him from his true love, Isabelle Chen. Now that Isabelle has returned to claim him, he's ready to file for divorce—until Maya makes him an offer he can't refuse without risking a scandal that could destroy his family's reputation. Thirty days. One month to discover whether a loveless marriage can become something real before time runs out. But as Maya and Alexander begin to truly see each other for the first time, secrets, lies, and the manipulations of those who want them apart threaten to steal even this brief chance at happiness. And when Alexander finally learns the devastating truth Maya has been hiding, he must face an impossible question: Is one month enough time to fall in love with someone you've already lost?

"I'm dying," I told him. "So, I figured I might as well lose my virginity to the hottest guy on campus before I go." ----- Ellie Carter never expected to be twenty one, single, and terminally ill with only six months left to live. But with nothing left to lose, she makes a deal with the campus badboy, Beck Ryder, to have one reckless and unforgettable night. It was supposed to be a one time thing. But somewhere between the late night cuddling, the constant teasing and the surprising discovery that he's not just the resident campus fuckboy (turns out he actually has a heart), Ellie catches feelings against her better judgment. Now she has to live with the knowledge that she's falling for Beck, and he might be falling for her too. How will she survive when she finds out that she might not be dying after all? Will the consequences of her actions come back to bite her when a vengeful ex enters the picture? Or can the throwaway fling turn into something real? If she thought dying would be hard, it turns out that living is way messier.

Just when Clara thought she had no hopes or means of survival anymore, Alex showed up in her life and proposed a business deal_ A marriage contract! Clara met Alex who happened to be her interviewer in the work vacancy she applied for. He was also the famous CEO of the company.

Clara left and vowed not to return even when her heart wanted him. Would she be able to keep to her words? Did Alex do anything offensive to her according to the papers she signed? Or maybe she didn’t just read through it before signing. Why does Alex long for her now that she’s gone?

Narinig ni Amanda Moretti ang balitang ipapakasal siya ng kanyang ama sa isang lalaking hindi niya kilala—kaya tumakas siya mula sa tahanan ng kanyang mga magulang. Determinado siyang pumili ng sariling landas, nagsimula siyang mamuhay mag-isa at unti-unting binuo ang tahimik na kalayaang natagpuan niya sa kanyang maliit na apartment.

Lumago ang app, naging matagumpay, at kalaunan ay nakilala sa maraming lugar. Dahil sa tagumpay na iyon, nakilala niya ang isa sa kanyang mga kliyente—si Knoxx Xavier Vitale—isang lalaking hindi niya inakalang lubos na magbabago ng takbo ng kanyang buhay. Arogante at antipatiko. Sukdulan ang ugali nitong hindi tugma sa kanya. He kept on pestering her. Kaya nang inalok siya nitong magpanggap bilang nobya sa harapan ng mga magulang nito, sa una'y nagdadalawang-isip pa siya. Mentioning a hundred thousand dollars made her eyes sparkling of wealth. Napapayag siya nito. Ngunit mas may nakakagulat pang rebelasyon ang mangyayari kasunod.

To the world, I was Mrs. Ward—the untouchable queen beside the mafia king of New York, Elias Ward. But I knew my husband never loved me. His heart had always belonged to Harper Dinah. His nephew’s wife. And after that nephew conveniently died, Elias brought her into our mansion, “I just want to take better care of her,” he’d said.
