Gwen Stark

Ama West had to step up and raise herself and her sister after their father abandoned them when she was just 16, leaving their mother lost in her own depression. Faced with the daunting prospect of survival, Ama accepted a high-stakes job to steal a neck piece from the formidable Blackwood family. However, when she was caught by the merciless Grayson Blackwood, she found herself at a crossroads. Grayson offered her a stark choice: either become his personal spy or face an excruciating end. The decision was clear; she would fight for her survival and take control of her fate. She gets thrown into the complicated Blackwoods family, where she unfolds secret that were never meant to be reviewed. And when her heart gets involved she's left to make difficult choices that could either make or break her.

She was supposed to marry a monster. Instead, one from her past came to claim her. To save her family, Emmaline Stark agrees to a marriage that will strip her of everything—freedom, pride, and any chance at happiness. But just as the final vows are about to be spoken, her wedding is violently interrupted by the last person she ever wanted to see. Alexander Moretti. Her first love. Her greatest betrayal. Five years ago, he vanished after shattering her world. Now he’s back, darker and more dangerous than before—marking her as his, paying off her debts, and dragging her into a life she never asked for. Isolated and furious, Emmaline wants nothing more than to destroy him… but the bond they share is undeniable, and the secrets between them are deeper than she ever imagined. In a world of cursed bloodlines, forbidden magic, and enemies who wear the faces of loved ones, Emmaline must choose between vengeance and truth… Because some pasts were buried for a reason. And some mates are never meant to be forgotten.

"To think it took all the guts in me to try to be with a fat ugly ogre like you, and yet, you're pushing me away?!" He yelled at her. Trapped in a marriage built on lies, Elora Stark thought she had already lost everything—until a dangerous truth shatters the last of her illusions. As hidden enemies close in and old promises crumble, a new love sparks where she least expects it, awakening a fierce passion she can no longer deny. Caught between the ruins of her past and the dangerous hope of a future, Elora must risk her heart—and her life—to break free. In a world where loyalty is deadly and love is a dangerous game, will she dare to choose herself—and a love worth fighting for?

I gasp, surprised and he leans towards me. I catch the scent of his cologne and the faint scent of the cigarette smoke, lingering around him. But underneath it, there’s the scent of earth and rain. I see his muscles flexing under the thin linen of the shirt. I also notice the outlines of a scar, running down his forearm. I imagine his hands on me, his lips on mine. What is happening… Why am I thinking this? “Oh, don’t worry, Lily. “ his smile is canine, the words that come out of his mouth are a snarl, “I won’t touch you. I don’t want to. “ When her mother got sick, Lily had no choice but to marry a man she never met. At that time she didn’t know Arthur Stark was not only beautiful but as cruel as the rumours said. Her husband is a cold billionaire involved with the mafia. He never touches anyone. Not even his own mate.
