Gemma Cruz-araneta

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.

Ten years ago, Natalia Cruz had walked out of Damien Carrington’s life as a young, broken, pregnant and helpless woman with nothing. But now, she is back as a top-tier lawyer, and she is back for revenge.

Dans un monde où la loi appartient aux plus impitoyables, Lucia De La Cruz règne en maître absolu sur le trafic de drogue. Cruelle, intelligente et sans pitié, elle a bâti un empire sur le sang et la trahison. Son seul objectif : détruire Miguel Velasquez, son rival de toujours, et effacer son nom de l’histoire. Mais son plan prend une tournure inattendue lorsqu’elle croise Adrian Velasquez, le fils de son ennemi juré. Contrairement à son père, Adrian refuse d’hériter de cet empire de violence. Pourtant, Lucia n’a qu’une idée en tête : le tuer. Une seule erreur… et c’est elle qui tombe. Pas sous les balles, mais sous son charme. L’amour qu’elle n’a jamais connu devient une faiblesse insoutenable. Entre passion et trahison, pouvoir et désir, Lucia devra choisir : détruire Adrian pour achever sa vengeance ou abandonner son trône pour lui. Dans cet univers de mafia, il n’y a pas de place pour l’amour. Seulement le sang, la douleur… et une fin inévitable.

Angelo Armani never wanted the Mafia life. But when his older brother is brutally murdered, the blood oath of vengeance binds him tighter than family ever did. His hunt leads him to Aurora Cruz the beautiful, defiant daughter of the man who ended Dante’s life. But when the moment of revenge comes, Angelo does the unthinkable. He spares her. Claims her. Keeps her. As Aurora becomes a prisoner in his world of violence, power, and betrayal, she discovers that the man who destroyed her life might be the only one who can save it. But in the Armani world, love is a weapon and mercy is the deadliest sin.

A case of mistaken identity. A twisted plan. An unexpected love. Isabella Delgado lives a quiet life as a regular office worker in Manila—routine days, instant coffee, and a heart still nursing quiet dreams. But everything changes when she’s suddenly kidnapped off the street by strangers who mistake her for someone else. Her captor? Lance Alonzo, a cold, calculated billionaire with a broken heart and a twisted agenda: to make Sofia Marie Cruz, his ex-girlfriend who betrayed him, fall in love with him again—only to break her heart the way she broke his. But there’s a problem. Isabella isn’t Sofia. She only looks exactly like her. When Lance discovers the mistake, it’s already too late. Isabella knows too much, and letting her go could destroy his reputation. So he keeps her locked in his private estate—just until he figures out what to do. But as days pass and secrets unravel, Lance finds himself drawn to the very woman he never meant to meet. And Isabella? She may be trapped—but her spirit refuses to be broken. Not by a man with a plan. Not by a heart with unfinished business. What started as a revenge scheme becomes a dangerous game of deception, desire, and redemption. Because sometimes, fate doesn’t make mistakes. People do.
