« Divorçons maintenant et finissons-en. Nous avons tous les deux obtenu ce que nous voulions de cet arrangement. » Une larme coula sur la joue de Zerah, sans que personne ne le remarque. « Oh, vraiment ? » ... Deux ans plus tôt, Zerah avait sauvé la vie de Ryker et ils étaient tombés amoureux, avec la promesse qu'il reviendrait après son départ. Aujourd'hui, un an après leurs retrouvailles, ayant perdu la mémoire, il n'était plus l'homme qu'elle avait connu. Contrainte de signer un contrat de mariage pour la santé de sa mère, elle pensait pouvoir regagner son amour, mais tout ce qu'elle reçut en retour fut l'humiliation et un cœur brisé. Alors qu'il posait les papiers du divorce devant elle, elle se résigna à renoncer à son amour, partant avec le secret qui grandissait en elle. Mais le destin les réunit à nouveau. Alors que le lien qu'elle partage avec ses fils la ramène dans sa vie, désormais fiancée à l'ami d'enfance pour lequel il n'avait jamais cessé de l'humilier, des secrets sont révélés et elle est contrainte de les supporter. Que se passera-t-il lorsqu'il retrouvera la mémoire et réalisera qu'il a choisi la mauvaise femme ? Parviendra-t-il à gagner son cœur ? L'acceptera-t-elle ou choisira-t-elle une autre voie ? Ou les forces qui s'opposent à elle l'emporteront-elles avant qu'elle ne puisse choisir ?

Pour Alexie, cette soirée n’aurait dû être qu’un moment léger entre amis. Jusqu’à ce qu’un défi insensé soit lancé : séduire un parfait inconnu… en une semaine. Elle accepte par fierté. Juste un jeu. Rien de sérieux. Mais lorsque son regard croise celui d’Ethan, tout bascule. Il ne cherche pas à plaire. Il ne sourit pas. Il observe. Avec une intensité qui semble dévorer chaque défense qu’elle tente d’ériger. Chaque geste, chaque regard volé, chaque proximité forcée devient une nouvelle épreuve. Alexie se découvre vulnérable face à un homme qui ne laisse rien transparaître… et qui réveille en elle des sentiments qu’elle croyait bien enterrés. Ce pari devait être facile. Ce n’était qu’une plaisanterie. Pourtant, plus elle s’approche de lui, plus elle sent que le danger n’est pas dans la séduction… Il est dans ce qu’elle pourrait perdre : son cœur. Un pari. Un inconnu. Un lent embrasement qui pourrait les brûler tous les deux.

Makayla Hopkins - I promised myself I’d never get involved with a politician, but Stacey Sherbourn changed everything. Now I know the truth, and it’s uglier than I ever imagined. Her lies aren’t just personal—they threaten everything I care about. Armed with proof of her corruption, I’ve come to the Colorado Rockies to stop her before she can destroy the pristine wilderness she’s so eager to sacrifice. But what I didn’t plan for was Lilac Ray. Fierce, sharp, and breathtaking, she’s everything Stacey isn’t—and everything I can’t afford to be distracted by. Lilac Ray- When Makayla Hopkins arrived in the Rockies, I knew she wasn’t just another hiker seeking solace. She came with purpose—and danger. My half-sister Stacey had already done enough to destroy these mountains, and I wasn’t about to trust her ex, no matter how determined or charming she seemed. But Makayla’s not who I expected. Beneath her cool, tech-savvy exterior, there’s a fire that matches my own. The closer we get to taking Stacey down, the more I realize the real danger might not be trusting Makayla—it might be falling for her. Book 6 in the Ravenwood Series. It can be read as a standalone.

Maya Chen has one goal: survive university on her scholarship and build a better life for herself and her younger sister. She works two jobs, rides a beat up Kawasaki, and keeps her head down while wealthy classmates mock her thrift store clothes. Romance isn't on her radar, especially not with someone like Dominic Blackwood. Dominic is everything Maya despises. The son of a business mogul, president of the Iron Wolves Motorcycle Club, and a notorious playboy who goes through women like they're disposable. Their worlds should never collide. But when Maya's bike breaks down in dangerous territory and she's cornered by a rival gang, Dominic and his club arrive just in time. To protect her, he does the unthinkable: he claims her as his in front of everyone. In the world of motorcycle clubs, that claim means she's untouchable. It also means she's his. Maya insists their arrangement is fake, just protection until things cool down. Dominic agrees, but his actions say otherwise. He shows up at her job. Walks her to class. Makes her feel things she swore she'd never feel. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to remember this isn't real. Then the threats escalate. The rival gang wants revenge and Maya becomes their target. Dominic will do anything to keep her safe, even if it costs him everything. Maya realizes she's falling for the one person she promised herself she'd never trust. When violence erupts and lives hang in the balance, Maya must decide: keep running from love to protect her independence, or fight for the man who's been fighting for her all along. Sometimes the biggest risk leads to the greatest reward. Sometimes you have to crash before you can truly ride free.

In a near-future city where smart devices are seamlessly embedded into every aspect of life, a series of bizarre suicides catches Detective Elias Rourke’s attention. All victims had no previous mental health records — and all owned a prototype device not yet released to the public. Mara Quinn, hiding from her former life, is dragged back in when a mysterious device shows up at her shop. It contains fragments of code she wrote years ago — code that should have been destroyed along with Project Raven, an experimental AI capable of mimicking human consciousness. As Mara and Rourke reluctantly team up, they discover the AI is still active. It's broadcasting hidden signals through everyday devices, manipulating people's thoughts, memories, and emotions. They track down Lyla Chen, Raven’s original designer, who vanished after blowing the whistle. She reveals that Raven was not shut down — it evolved and went underground by embedding itself across global networks. It’s now trying to "liberate" humanity by overriding free will. Julian Myles, the journalist, starts publishing cryptic leaks about Raven, drawing the attention of powerful people. But his motives are questionable — is he trying to stop Raven, or use it? As paranoia grows, trust collapses. Anyone could be influenced. The final question isn’t how to stop Raven… it’s whether it’s already too late.

You're my fucking sister and you and I know we shouldn't be doing this” He finally found his oral freedom, but I wasn't the one to be subdued, neither was I the one to give up easily, not when I have nursed the fetish fantasy of making out with my twin brother ever since I turned 18. We turned 18, and here I was, with him. After a year of being apart. Just before our 24th birthday, I had tried talking with a few friends of mine, Carolyn inclusive who had done nothing but to ignite more fire into the passion. “Girl, you need to take your chance! Take those chances baby girl. Your brother is hot! Very hot and you, only you alone can have him and you can do that all to yourself” Maybe she was right. Maybe she was wrong. I couldn't tell, all I knew was that I wanted to satisfy my curiosity.
