Hard Shell Bra

"I don't dream anymore. I have no future, I only have 'now'." * * * For Samantha Covington, these words are her stark reality after her husband Richard's ultimate betrayal. She has become collateral damage to his self-destruction, leaving her a shell of her former self, her once vivid spirit suffocated. A chance encounter with Daniel Sanford, the powerful and enigmatic yet secret Alpha, ignites a forbidden flicker of hope in her, and the dangerously protective instincts in him. Daniel becomes Samantha’s lifeline, his sure and steady presence, the anchor she needs to rise from the depths of despair. But their worlds are intertwined more than they know, and the one man tying them together is the one man determined to keep them apart. Caught between the man who helps her reclaim her worth and a husband who strips it away, she must navigate a treacherous path to secure her heart and her freedom. But Daniel’s dark secrets chillingly echo Richard’s darker lies. Can Daniel earn her trust? Will his wolf respect her freedom? Or will she forge a new path as she leaves Richard in the wreckage of his self-destruction?

Meu marido, o chefe da máfia, perdeu seu primeiro amor para o suicídio. Celeste Reyes não conseguiu aceitar que ele estava se casando comigo. Desde então, Darius Sterling vive o luto por ela publicamente todos os dias, e nós nos tornamos o tipo de casal que se despreza mais do que qualquer outra pessoa. No entanto, quando a família Moretti de Eastbourne envia assassinos atrás de mim, Darius recebe a bala que era para ser minha. A bala estava envenenada. Enquanto ele jaz, fraco em meus braços, ele sussurra: — Eu salvei sua vida. Minha dívida com sua mãe está paga. Em nossa próxima vida, não vamos nos encontrar novamente. — Não quero mais te odiar. Só espero que você seja sempre aquela garota da casa ao lado. Agora, é hora de eu ficar com Celeste. E, simples assim, ele morre em meus braços. Eu choro do fundo da minha alma, mas Darius nunca mais olha para mim. Só então percebo quão tolo e infantil foi o nosso ódio durante todos esses anos. Mais tarde, após eliminar os Moretti, eu tiro minha própria vida por ele. Contudo, quando abro os olhos novamente, estou de volta aos 20 anos, o ano do nosso noivado. Eu rejeito o plano do meu pai para um casamento arranjado e escolho ir para New Verden gerenciar os negócios da família. Desta vez, ficarei longe de Darius e darei a ele e à Celeste as minhas bênçãos.

Ela acreditava que, na ausência de amor, ao menos haveria alguma afeição familiar. Até que, um dia...

Brenda’s world ended the night her father sold her to a monster. To protect his pack from destruction, her father traded her to Alpha Aaron, the cruel ruler of the Northern wolves — a man who never spent more than one night with any woman… because none of them survived. But Brenda did. That became her curse. For three years, she endured his brutality — his control, his obsession, his endless hunger for power. She prayed for rescue, for her father, for anyone. But no one came. Until one mistake changed everything. A blindfold. A wrong room. A night with a stranger who touched her with tenderness instead of pain. That stranger was Alpha Leon, Aaron’s business partner and unknowingly, her destined mate. When Leon discovered the truth, he struck a dangerous bargain to take her away. But by then, Brenda was no longer the girl she once was. She was a shell, numb, broken, and incapable of love. Now, Leon must battle not only Aaron’s shadow but also the darkness inside Brenda herself. Can love heal what cruelty destroyed? Or will her pain consume them both?

Aliyah Mendez was driven by her desire for Kyler eyes where beaming with lust looking at her nakedness. Marahas niyang tinanggal ang aking bra, exposing my big breast. Nakikita ko sa kanyang mga mata ang matinding pagnanasa. Kaya agad niya itong sinunggaban na para bang sanggol na sinumulang halik-halikan at sinipsip ang aking nipples. Walang sawa niya itong dinidilaan, sinipsipsip at nilamas-lamas. Basang-basa at namumula ang dalawa kong ut*ng nang ito'y kanyang iwanan. Dinilaan niya ang gitna ng aking dibdib pababa sa aking pusod at sinipsip. "Fuck!" mura niya. "You're so fucking good!" Halos mapugto ang aking hininga sa kakapigil ng aking nararamdaman. Pilit kong sinasabunutan ang kanyang buhok upang maalis ang kanyang labi sa aking pusod na ngayon ay dumadampi na sa gitnang bahagi na aking pinaka-iingatan. "Stop this, Kayler!"

Screw standard blurbs. This isn't an ordinary book... This is a paranormal romance, with a reverse harem feel. Addictive as crack, and I'm not talking old, hairy builders crack either. Don't expect any fluff or happy endings, because what you'll actually get is bad attitudes, foul language, and men so damn hot, they'll melt your panties off with just one look. Read the book. Let me pull you in and make you fall in love, before viciously ripping out your heart, just because I can. By the end of the book, expect to be ugly crying, while you plot my slow, yet painful death. As tempted as you are, do not throw your tablet at the wall. I promise I'll send one of my hunks to rescue you from that cliff you're currently hanging from by your bra straps. You're welcome. I'll see you in the next book, sweetcheeks.

Three days before our wedding, I tell Gabriel Miller that I want to terminate our marriage once and for all. He just smiles helplessly at me. "Is it because I hooked Katherine's bra for her?" I nod in response. "Yup." The helplessness in his smile grows. "Kat is so clumsy. The last clasp came loose and she couldn't fix it herself. There were so many guests at the banquet last night, so I had to lend her a helping hand." Upon noting my lack of response, Gabriel pushes a Victoria's Secret giftbox in my direction. But I refuse to accept it. We've been together since our years in our hometown all the way till our time in Marise. Over the years, we've grown older and more mature. It's been 18 long years. Now is time for me to let go of this relationship once and for all.

Assim que meus pais ligam para dizer que vão me levar à casa do meu amigo de infância, Oliver Holland, para conhecer a pretendente do encontro às cegas dele, ele ainda está dormindo ao meu lado. Acho que eles estão brincando e sussurro: — Oliver, eles disseram que encontraram alguém para você namorar. Ele solta um murmúrio preguiçoso e me puxa para seus braços. — Gerry, me ajuda a escolher o que vestir depois. E arruma meu cabelo também. Quando eu fico imóvel, Oliver abre os olhos e solta uma risada curta e debochada. — Qual é o seu problema? A gente só dorme junto. Você não acha mesmo que eu vou casar com você, acha?
