Empire State Building Percy Jackson

« L'amour n'a jamais fait partie du contrat, jusqu'à ce qu'il devienne tout. » Camilla Bianchi était autrefois la meilleure de sa classe, une brillante étudiante en médecine promise à un avenir prometteur, mais sa vie a pris un tournant tragique. Accablée par le cancer de sa grand-mère qui s'aggrave et le coût exorbitant de la chimiothérapie, Camilla jongle entre les quarts de nuit, ses mauvaises notes et sa chance d'obtenir une bourse. Désespérée et noyée dans l'inquiétude, elle se laisse entraîner par sa meilleure amie dans un club pour une nuit d'évasion – une nuit qui manque de tourner au drame. Elle finit dans les bras de Marcello De Luca, un mafieux dangereusement puissant qui lui sauve la vie. Marcello De Luca est un mafieux glacial qui a un héritage à défendre. Son père impitoyable exige une épouse et un héritier, sinon Marcello cédera l'empire De Luca à son frère adoptif intrigant, mais Marcello refuse l'amour jusqu'à ce que Camilla fasse irruption dans son monde. Marcello conclut un marché inattendu. Il paiera le traitement de la grand-mère de Camilla, mais en échange, elle devra passer vingt jours à ses côtés. Si elle refuse ensuite d'être avec lui, elle est libre de partir, mais si elle le souhaite, il l'épousera et lui offrira sa protection. Quatre-vingt-dix jours. Une offre irrésistible. Camilla n'a plus rien à perdre, si ce n'est son cœur. Camilla risquera-t-elle tout pour l'amour et sa famille ? Cédera-t-elle à l'attirance dangereuse qui les unit ? Ou s'éloignera-t-elle avant que l'amour ne devienne son erreur la plus fatale ?

« Tu ne sais pas à quoi tu t'attaques » Sa main traça lentement le long de mon bras, ses doigts-fermes mais déterminés, me faisant frissonner jusqu'au plus profond de moi-même. « Tu as peur. » « Pas du tout » chuchotai-je. Il sourit. « Tu devrais. » Avant même que je puisse réfléchir, il combla la distance-qui nous séparait, ses lèvres s'écrasant sur les miennes. Un baiser-rude, urgent, possessif et féroce, une brûlure dévorante. « Je ne peux pas m'arrêter. Je ne veux pas. » Puis il s'empara de nouveau de mes lèvres. Et bientôt, les-miennes bougèrent. Je lui rendais son baiser. Ça ne devrait pas arriver. Soudain, des pas-résonnèrent. « Rylan-arrête, quelqu'un-» Mais ses mains se-resserrèrent sur ma taille, m'immobilisant. « Qu'ils viennent. Je m'en fiche. » Puis ses lèvres s'écrasèrent contre les miennes, plus fort. J'ai tenté de me détourner, mais il m'a attrapée par le cou et m'a enfoncé sa langue-dans la bouche. « Rylan, s'il te plaît… » Mes yeux se sont tournés vers la porte. « Arrête ! » J'ai lutté. Sa main a glissé jusqu'à mes fesses, les serrant fort. « Si tu n'avais pas porté de jean, je t'aurais déjà enfoncé les doigts dans tous les trous. Putain ! » On a frappé légèrement à la porte, puis on a entendu la poignée tourner. Non ! ★ Certains secrets naissent dans le feu… et certains désirs, forgés dans les ténèbres. Alyssa-Milano porte un passé qu'elle ne peut fuir, un-passé imprégné de sang, de silence et d'un secret qui pourrait la détruire. À quinze-ans, son innocence lui a été volée. Rylan-Russo est dangereux, impitoyable, puissant et habitué à obtenir ce qu'il veut. Lorsqu'il jette son dévolu sur Alyssa, leurs mondes s'entrechoquent dans une tempête d'obsession et de désir. Est-ce une histoire d'amour digne de ce nom ?

"I would rather die than have you as my wife. You are not Lauren and you will never be my mate!" "You're nothing but a tool I used to help my Pack achieve our goal. I merely used you to get the MoonGem and nothing more!" *** When Evelyn, daughter of the Alpha of the Sagittarius pack fails in a mission to get to the gem needed to strengthen her pack's bloodline, she is given to Alpha Damian, the cold hearted Alpha of the Red Cedar pack who is in possession of the gem as a gift bride to secure that gift for the Sagittarius pack. The Sagittarius pack has made a deal with a separate pack so Evelyn's real motives are supposed to be stealing the gem from Alpha Damian. She has to work her way into his heart and push all of his buttons to get this done, but what will they do when the fate hits them with a shock. Can a love not fated ever stand strong in the midst of bloodshed, hatred, and a Werewolf vendetta?

"There's only one thing that can make a simple art exhibition so tiring; Evelyn Bennett." *** Nolan is the first son of the Walter Family and the I-Don't-Give-A-Damn kind of playboy. With Mr. Walter getting sick of the position, Noah has to step in as the President of Walter Corporation. Fire meets Fire when Nolan meets Evelyn Bennett, the Lotte Corp Heiress and "competitive-ass". Always getting at each others throats, they would do anything to save their pride and come out triumphant, but when this "hatred" spins into sparks of passion, things can get very crazy and there are obstacles around the corner.

Freya's life turned three hundred sixty degrees when she found out her mate and boyfriend, Dominic cheated on her. As a sort of revenge, she rejected Dominic right in front of the crowd after being installed as an alpha of their pack and ran away until she bumped into some mysterious man who looked like Dominic and turned out to be her ex' uncle namely Alpha Percy of the other neighboring pack. Alpha Percy was deeply smitten with Freya even when at first met. He was one of the sought bachelors among all the alphas in the north, but no woman appealed to him. Until he met Freya. There was one problem— regardless of offering her the world, she continued driving him away saying he was too old for her. And Alpha Percy vowed to show her what an old man was capable of. He will have Freya regardless if she is his nephew's mate.

Lara Dela Cruz was a normal girl—well, normal in the sense that she was an overworked call center agent who hated her boss, loved iced coffee, and had mastered the art of sarcasm to survive the horrors of capitalism. But one night, while rushing home, she slipped on a puddle (thanks to her horrible luck) and hit her head hard on the pavement. When she woke up… she wasn’t in her world anymore. Instead, she found herself in a medieval kingdom, in the middle of a chaotic slave auction. And before she could even scream in protest, she was bought by the most feared man in the entire empire—Duke Alistair Von Nacht, also known as the Tyrant Duke. Now, instead of dealing with rude customers, she had to deal with an emotionally constipated warlord who could kill her with a flick of his fingers. But what’s worse? She might be falling for the grumpy tyrant.

Alpha Mason is determined to continue on with life as an Alpha alone after the betrayal of his fated mate. Focused upon his pack he allows himself to become isolated; which only becomes worse as his friends begin to settle down. The young Alpha’s friend, Kai is set to be married, and Mason reluctantly agrees to go out celebrating with his friends. They venture out into the human world, enjoying a few too many drinks, only to find themselves in a bar, and Mason is unable to take his eyes from one of their dancers, Gi-Gi. Mason finds an excuse to talk to the beauty as she dances, and she more than captures his attention as the night wears on. The presence of the beautiful Gianna lingers within Mason's mind, bringing the Alpha back to the bar on more than one occasion with nothing but her in mind. Could it be possible for a friendship to form between a strong and powerful Alpha and a dancer? But, is there more than meets the eye to this dancing beauty? And will the Alpha find himself hurt once again? Or could they be the key to helping one another?

In a time where fated mates have become a rarity, two brothers from Silver Shadows Pack are being sought mates. One the Alpha, and the other his younger brother. Neither one happy about the arrangement, but it is an arrangement forced upon them by their family and pack elders. While two sisters from Alpine Shadows Pack have been designated as two of the potential she-wolves who could be perfect brides for these strong wolves. Lena is dreading the very idea of leaving the safe haven of her home pack, while her sister, Cora is not willing to have her future mapped out for her and plans to flee. With their arrival at Silver Shadows and Cora having fled, Lena is soon ordered that her marriage to the Alpha will occur, and disappointment takes over her at the realization the handsome Alpha is not quite all he appeared to be at the wedding ceremony. With a life of uncertainty ahead, being a mere puppet to the man she was forced to marry, Lena is unsure what her future holds, until the devastatingly handsome Alpha’s brother returns to pack, taking more than a keen interest in his brother’s new wife… But is the new life Lena has been pushed into all it first seemed?

Yet part of his life feels incomplete. Seeing all of his friends settled down with their mates and now having children, Jake can't help but wonder where he went wrong or think if he will forever be alone. Avoidance seems to be the best tactic, and Jake pushes himself harder into work, where an unexpected encounter at a business meeting gets his heart racing and turns his life upside down. Rose, this seemingly perfect, beautiful fated mate of his, has somewhat of an unusual reaction to meeting her mate. Are you meant to be doing your best to avoid your new mate? Or be keeping secrets from him? Not to mention Rose comes from the other side of the world and plans to head home as soon as she can, with promises of keeping in touch, and working things out with time and space. Jake is just happy to finally have his mate, and willing to do all he can to have her by his side. Would Jake be willing to leave all he knows for fate? Or could it be the moon goddess made a mistake, and Jake is better off alone? Or is there a better match out there for him?
