Inside the package, there was nothing more than a flash drive. With trembling hands, she connected it to her laptop. Only a single file appeared. "How much of him do you really know?" The file title read. It revealed a grainy image: Damien was visible, in a dim room, caught in a heated exchange with someone. Eventually, he embraced a woman.

Author Pov Luciana steadily opened her eyes and let out a yawn snuggling her head more to something hard but she still felt so warm that she couldn't help but to held that warmth closer. Her eyes met a bare chest which was steadily going up and down. She pulled her head up a little and then realized that she was laying on her husband's bare chest. She was laying on him as he was laying on the sofa. She stared at his peaceful sleeping face for some time finally realizing how handsome her husband is.

I stayed seated, anticipating what was about to happen as I watched everyone stride out the door, except that Jude paused at the door, and gave me a knowing look that carried a mix of concern and jealousy before turning on his heel. Jalen’s eyes rested on the books in front of him, trying not to be too obvious. He didn’t look at me again until the last person disappeared through the door. Then he crossed the room in three long strides, flipped the lock, and pulled the shade down over the narrow window in the door. The second the shade dropped, he was on me. His mouth snatched into mine—sharp, desperate, and starving. I gasped against his lips and he swallowed the sound, as I tugged his shirt

I bit my bottom lip, shrugging. "What kind of books do you mean? There are motivational books, novels..." I trailed off, listing various genres. Colby rubbed his face, frustration etched on his features. "The book I'm talking about is...dark. Dark romance." I cocked my head, signing, "I do read that. Why? What's wrong?" Colby's eyes seemed to bore into mine. "Then you might know...have you ever had any fantasies? Like, reading them, did you ever imagine..." He trailed off, his gaze intense.

The one she never stopped loving. Later, the Shire family lost everything overnight, and Skyler was forced to leave the country and live with relatives abroad. Their love story ended quietly—no closure, no goodbye. Over time, Selena and I started spending more time together. I saw her drink alone till sunrise over Skyler. I saw her fight with her family over and over because of him. And I was always just… quietly there. I stayed by her side through all those reckless nights, and all the love I had for her stayed buried deep. I never confessed it, not until the Sorrell family laid down the law and forced her into an arranged marriage.

“Do you always sneak up on people?” “Only when I see they obviously have a favorite author in common with me,” his grin grew as he pointed to the set she’d just been looking at. “My favorite series ever, hands down. J.D. Robb rocks. I’ve read them all at least once. It never gets old.” “No spoilers!” Faith laughed and mimed covering her ears. “I’ve only gotten a bit over halfway through them. But yes, the ones I own I have read at least once, too.”

Chapter 3 Lydia’s POV “If you want me to stop looking at you like this… tell me now,” Julian said, his voice low and rough as he stood there shirtless in the kitchen light.

My nipples hardened instantly from the cool wet silk. “Shit,” I breathed, setting the glass down fast.

Roses, a white dress, the guests, the sunshine: it all felt so vivid, yet so surreal. His gaze landed on the empty spot where the bridesmaid should have been, and it all clicked why that seat was unoccupied. Natalie was gone. She was gone forever. She had taken her life. She had done that with his unborn child when she leapt from the 18th floor. It was all because he tampered with her medicine, because he dared her to prove her true love, and because of his whispered lies of forever and always. He did everything to win her heart.

com - "Femme Fatale: The Queen Of Chess" (Has similar tech-mafia themes as that was my favourite plotline personally in contemporary romance I'd suggest to give it a read.)

"Criminally God" (Is a Male Lead book with a system, demons and a vampire main character. I was inspired by Eoin Colfer and fused his style with my own and in fantasy genre.)

25 March 1820 Rome, Italy Jacob was lounging on a chair and Mrs. Valentina Lombardi, the most sought after courtesan in Rome was sprawled on his lap, her lush body pressed to his as she tried to coax a reaction out of him.
