John M Browning

My fiancé, Owen Lockhart, came from old money. He kept a canary in a gilded cage, spoiling her rotten. Just as I was about to break off the engagement with him, a barrage of comments suddenly popped up in my mind. [What did Owen do wrong? He just wanted to get your attention.] [Don't break up with him. All you need to do is shed a few tears, and he'll give you everything.] I turned my head, and through the window, I saw the canary in her high-end jewelry, smiling brightly as she hooked her arm around Owen's. He lazily lowered his eyes, yet his expression held a hint of indifference mixed with a subtle affection. I smiled bitterly, replying to the lawyer's message: [Go on with drafting the engagement annulment agreement.]

He drew her close to himself and at that moment, she could swear her heart stopped. She looked into his mesmerizing blue eyes as she watched his hands run through her skin slowly. Karen never knew love could be this addictive.

My biggest mistake wasn't falling for a man that was all kinds of off-limits; it was thinking the moon goddess wasn't listening to my deepest, darkest thoughts. Professor Deville was the man who made literature sound erotic, every whiff of him my kryptonite; so when he offered me more than just a polite smile that night at the bar, I dropped everything for him - panties included. What I had no idea about was that there were two different variants of Professor Deville - the man who lived for words, and the man who loved for swords; and I was fated to both. Now, my mate bond tugs me in two different directions, to two different men who share more than just the same face, and to two men who were far more than just off-limits. Would my forbidden fantasies finally beget a love that can overturn old laws, or would everything and everyone around us bring us down from the high of our feelings? In this forbidden romance book, Aliyah has to choose between more than just two mates, she has to also choose which one of them lives and which one dies.

Torn between the memories of her past and the possibility of a new future, Anita must decide: will she give Alex a second chance, or is it time to close the door on their shared history forever?

Alors que mon accouchement approchait, un trou énorme est soudainement apparu dans la comptabilité d'armement de la famille Gauthier. Les hauts responsables ont immédiatement pris une décision. Moi, l'épouse du chef de la famille, celle qui n'avait soi-disant rien de mieux à faire, j'ai été envoyée personnellement vérifier l'arsenal. Je pensais que ce n'était qu'une simple formalité. Mais je ne m'attendais pas à ce que Léa Morel, la sœur adoptive de mon mari Gabriel Gauthier, profite de l'occasion pour faire exploser tout l'arsenal. La détonation était assourdissante. Les flammes ont illuminé tout le ciel. J'ai été coincée sous les décombres effondrés, incapable de bouger. Une douleur violente m'a lacéré le ventre, comme si une lame me déchirait de l'intérieur. Pourtant, je n'ai pas appelé la ligne privée prioritaire de mon mari. À la place, j'ai envoyé un signal de détresse à mon père, parce que, dans ma vie précédente, j'avais contacté Gabriel dès la première seconde de l'explosion, en utilisant cette ligne prioritaire. L'enfant avait donc finalement survécu. Mais Léa avait disparu dans l'explosion, sans laisser la moindre trace. En apparence, Gabriel disait ne pas m'en vouloir. « Léa n'était qu'une étrangère de la famille. Rien n'est plus important qu'un héritier. » Il avait même dépensé une fortune pour faire venir des spécialistes en obstétrique, chargés de veiller sur moi chaque jour, me répétant sans cesse de rester tranquille et d'attendre sereinement l'accouchement. Mais le jour où j'avais accouché, tout avait changé. Il m'avait enfermée de ses propres mains avec mon enfant dans un entrepôt abandonné imbibé d'essence, avant d'y mettre le feu. Nous avons brûlé vifs. « Si tu n'avais pas fait exprès de gagner du temps, Léa ne serait jamais morte. Tu crois vraiment pouvoir me tromper en jouant la victime innocente ? Tu rêves ! » « Tu aimes jouer avec le feu ? Très bien. Je vais te faire ressentir toi-même le désespoir qu'elle a connu à la fin ! » Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, je suis revenue au moment même de l'explosion de l'arsenal.
