Don Quixote Characters

After I, Rosalie Ricci, was stood up 17 times, the mafia don, Daniel Marino, finally holds the perfect engagement banquet for me. In our second year together, we are ready to get married. But every single time, he has an excuse to hold our engagement off. He says he's busy with work, the timing isn't right yet, or that he isn't quite ready. I never blame him because I love him. I have loved him since our school days. In fact, I have loved him for seven whole years. This is the 18th time. I stand in the banquet hall wearing the gown he personally chose for me and watch as he slips the ring onto my finger. He kisses me with a passionate intensity he has never shown me before. At that moment, I believe that I have finally secured my perfect happiness after waiting seven long years. My happiness only lasts until the guests leave. As I step into the back garden, I see Daniel holding my twin sister, Leah Ricci, in his arms. He says in a hushed voice, "I announced my engagement to Rosalie 18 times. This time, you're finally back." That's when I realize that the engagement banquet that I have longed for is nothing more than a ploy by Daniel to draw Leah back to him. But when I decided to let them be together, Daniel panics.

"Get divorced," the man's cold voice commanded as he placed the divorce agreement on the table and turned away without a hint of nostalgia. Lindis sighed bitterly in her heart. Yes, their marriage had ended because Liam's grandfather had passed away and the marriage contract had expired. Lindis trembled as she signed, from now on she and her husband who had lived together for three years would become strangers. With the savings she had accumulated over time, Lindis left for a faraway place. Although life after divorce was challenging, she quickly adapted. Once she had grown accustomed to her new life, it seemed like she and her ex-husband would never cross paths again. However, he sought her out, wanting her to return. Regrettably, she replied, "I don't want to come back to you."

I am the sole heir to the Alpha King of Northaria, but I'm an Omega. All of Northaria awaits the day I come of age, hoping I'll awaken the kind of Alpha bloodline strong enough to claim the throne. But when the day finally comes, I'm still just a low-rank Omega. So, they say that the true heir must be one of the three "pledged Alphas" my father adopted from the major tribes. Whichever one of them marks me becomes the ruler of all Northaria packs. But none of them have ever truly looked at me. The one I like most is Quin Lawson. When I fainted on the snowy plains as a child, it was he who carried me back to the pack. I've tried countless times to get close to him, only to be met with nothing but cold, contemptuous stares. I used to think he was just emotionally distant—until the Moon Goddess Festival. That night, I saw him kneel before Silvia Anderson, the daughter of my father's second-in-command. His voice is soft, and his gaze is tender. "I'm marrying Evelyn only to repay the Alpha King's kindness. Once I get the inheritance, I'll make you my Luna. As long as she doesn't harm you, I'll even grant her a piece of land to live out her life in peace. You're my true mate." The night before the marking ceremony, my father asks me who I choose. I think of the way all three of the pledged Alphas look away whenever our eyes meet. I smile and say, "I'm the rightful heir of Northaria. My mate should be someone who brings the greatest strength to our pack. And so, I choose Alpha Heath of the Pyraxis pack." The air goes still. My father frowns. "Him? Are you sure? Every one of his mates has died under mysterious circumstances. His wolf is known to be vicious—no one dares get close to him. You truly want to be his mate?"

He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

Élevée parmi les montagnes paisibles de Pedesina, en Italie, Donna Amorielle est la seule fille de Don Vittorio Amorielle et d’Ellis Barker, un couple forgé dans le feu de la mafia et d’un amour improbable. Loin des rues chaotiques de New York, elle a grandi aux côtés de ses frères — Jake, Marco et Jason — sous le poids d’un héritage qu’elle ne pourra jamais revendiquer et l’ombre d’un destin qu’elle refuse d’accepter. Prise entre le sang mafieux qui coule dans ses veines et la détermination américaine héritée de sa mère, Donna ne veut pas être simplement la fille d’un don, ni une pièce dans un jeu d’alliances. Elle veut davantage : elle veut choisir qui elle sera. À 25 ans, Donna confronte son père, le redouté Don Vittorio, exigeant une chance de retourner aux États-Unis et de tracer son propre chemin. Réticents, Vittorio et Ellis cèdent, croyant que la distance les protégera du passé qu’ils ont laissé derrière eux. Mais ce qui commence comme une quête de liberté se transforme rapidement en une plongée périlleuse dans les eaux troubles de la mafia. Sur le sol américain, Donna découvre que les péchés de ses parents résonnent encore, et de vieux ennemis sont prêts à réclamer une dette dont elle ignorait l’existence. Déterminée à prouver sa valeur, elle devra choisir : se battre pour le nom Amorielle ou le réduire en cendres pour construire le sien. Une histoire de loyauté, de vengeance et d’autodécouverte, Donna parle du prix du pouvoir et du courage de défier le destin — même lorsque le sang parle plus fort.
