Dr. Richard Pearl

It all started with a night. He was a widower looking for a way to release his stress. She was a waitress who had just lost her job. She was also looking for a way to release her stress. They met in a bar and things led to a steamy night. What's next? How will they react when they wake up next to each other? Where will it lead, when they meet each other again in a place where they least expected to meet? ----------------------- "What are you doing here?" Richard asks her, surprised. "Why are you here?" Lilian asks him, surprised. "I am the CEO of this company and this is my building", he answers. "Oh shit, I am here because of some work", she replies. "Well . . . in that case, how about we recreate the steamy night that we spent together once again? I really cannot get you and your body out of my head", he says coming closer to her. "Oh really? Then how about we have a quickie right here and right now on your desk?", she asks with a confident smile. ------------------------------------- Richard Matthews is a widower, billionaire and CEO known for his ruthless ways of treating women. He never had even the slightest respect for the female gender, because of what his wife did to him. Lilian Johnson is a small town girl who came to the big city with so much hopes and dreams. Life was not easy for her, as she had to go through so many obstacles to get to where she was now. What's next for these two? What does the future hold for these two, when they haven't made peace with their past?

Mit vierzig Jahren glaubt Reine, die Gelassenheit in der Ehe mit Richard gefunden zu haben, einem sanften und aufmerksamen Mann, der zwanzig Jahre älter ist als sie. Doch diese Ruhe wird auf die Probe gestellt, als Gabriel, Richards Sohn, auftaucht, um den Sommer unter ihrem Dach zu verbringen. Gabriel, fünfundzwanzig, ist alles, was Reine verabscheut: arrogant, zynisch, und er begegnet ihr nur mit frostigen Blicken und tückischen Stichen. Er wirft ihr vor, seinen Vater wegen seines Geldes geheiratet zu haben, und sieht in ihr eine Opportunistin. Die Spannung zwischen ihnen ist spürbar, ein explosives Gemisch aus Verachtung und einer unbestreitbaren Anziehung, die sie heftig zu verbergen versuchen. Jedes Abendessen ist ein Schlachtfeld, jede Begegnung im engen Raum des Hauses ein Funke. Alles kippt während eines heftigen Gewitters, als Richard abwesend ist. Ein besonders heftiger Streit lässt sie allein, durchnässt und vor Wut zitternd zurück. Die Beleidigungen weichen plötzlich einem schweren Schweigen, dann einem wilden und befreienden Kuss. Dieser erste Kontakt ist das Vorzimmer einer verzehrenden und verbotenen Leidenschaft. Sie treffen sich heimlich, verwandeln ihren Hass in ein rohes und obsessives Verlangen. Die Argumente werden zu sinnlichen Wettkämpfen, jede Versöhnung wird auf den zerknitterten Laken der nächstgelegenen Alcove gefeiert. Sie erkunden ihre Körper und Grenzen und entdecken, dass unter dem Groll eine unerwartete Vertrautheit und eine geteilte Verwundbarkeit verborgen liegt. Doch der Schatten von Richard lastet auf ihrer Affäre. Jede Lüge drückt schwer auf Reines Gewissen, zerrissen zwischen ihrer Zuneigung zu ihrem Mann und ihrer irrationalen Leidenschaft für Gabriel. Letzterer muss sich zudem seinem eigenen Groll gegen seinen Vater und den komplexen Gefühlen stellen, die ihn mit der Frau verbinden, die er eigentlich hassen sollte. Kann ihre Geschichte die Verräterei und das Gewicht des Geheimnisses überstehen, oder war sie nur ein Strohfeuer, dazu verurteilt, in Schuld zu vergehen?

Le troisième jour après ma mort, Louis Richard a reçu un appel pour identifier le corps. Serrant une femme dans les bras, il a dit d'un ton désinvolte : « Je m’en fous. Appelle-moi après l’incinération. » Mon corps a été brûlé dans le crématorium. Une fois réduit en cendres, le personnel a de nouveau contacté Louis. Agacé, il a poussé un soupir : « Je vois. J’arrive. »

In the hallowed halls of academia, power is never shared it’s taken. Dr. Justin Ellis, known as the CC Terror, rules his lecture halls with a razor-sharp tongue and a gaze that strips away pretense. At forty-three, he is brilliant, ruthless, and untouchable, his presence carved from cold authority and concealed desire. To his students, he is a nightmare in a tailored suit, but beneath the discipline lies a darkness no one dares to provoke. No one except Brenda Stuart. Brenda is everything Justin should ignore young, fiery, too bold for her own good. Her beauty unsettles him; her defiance ignites a hunger he has buried beneath years of restraint. She should be just another student, yet every sharp exchange between them drips with something forbidden, something neither of them can deny. When Brenda confronts him after class, demanding answers for his relentless attention, their clash sparks a dangerous intimacy. What begins as a battle of wills transforms into a seduction dark, punishing, addictive. Brenda discovers that Justin’s lessons extend far beyond chemistry, into realms of dominance and surrender where rules are broken and innocence is devoured.

But as desire deepens into something darker, Brenda must decide if she’s willing to give herself entirely to the man who both terrifies and consumes her... Because Dr. Ellis doesn’t just want her mind, he wants her body, her virginity. And Brenda is down for anything.
