Julian Rotter

I discovered two things after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. I was first on what appeared to be a fake marriage certificate with Julian Fitzgerald. I had raised my son for six years, and he was already aware of it. In fact, he wanted his mother to be someone else. It was then that I realised my life was just a hoax. Seven years of not being in touch with my family, keeping myself solitary and making sacrifices but it was all just plain cruel. So, I did three things. The husband and son who had betrayed me, I went missing. In preparation for our seventh wedding anniversary, I called off the romantic dinner reservation made a month ago. Besides my participation in several health-related group discussions, I also left my son's kindergarten parent groups. These groups were all designed to improve the well-being of my husband and son. My second action was to contact my physician and request a stress evaluation. I requested a special prescription to prevent any complications that might arise during my international travel. The third person I contacted was my older sister, whom she had not been in touch with for seven years. My words were, "To marry in a place where I don't belong to my family is just miserable."

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.

‎At nineteen, desperation drove Leah Carter, a vulnerable young woman with nothing left to lose, into the arms of a stranger, and into a one-night stand that would change her life forever. That single choice saved her grandmother’s life, but at an unbearable cost. She stole a priceless family crest and disappeared. ‎ ‎Six years later, Leah is a single mother living to protect her secret child at all costs, even if it means carrying her guilt forever. ‎ ‎Damien Thorne is a billionaire heir haunted by a deadly fire he didn’t start. Trapped in a vicious power struggle for his family’s empire, he trusts no one, especially the people closest to him. ‎ ‎His stepmother is determined to steal control of the Thorne empire for her son, Julian, whose goal is simple: to ruin Damien and run the Thorne Group into the ground, driven by lifelong hatred and resentment. ‎ ‎When fate forces Leah and Damien into close proximity, sparks ignite into a volatile enemies-to-lovers attraction neither can deny. Old wounds reopen as Leah is drawn into the fight for the Thorne legacy, where the stolen crest holds the key to everything. ‎ ‎As Damien fights to protect his position and the empire, Leah becomes both his risk and his refuge. But the truth about the past, and the child between them, could destroy what they’re building before it has a chance to survive.

Aku terlahir kembali ke hari sebelum pernikahanku. Hal pertama yang aku lakukan? Aku menukar suami dengan kakakku. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku menikah dengan Julian, seorang taipan teknologi yang lembut. Dia tidak tahan dengan sifatku yang berapi-api dan aku tidak tahan dengan kelembutannya. Pernikahan kami hancur dalam waktu setahun. Sementara itu, kakakku yang manis dan penakut dijodohkan dengan Robin Anwar, bos dari keluarga kriminal terbesar di Nortangia. Dia tidak mampu menghadapi kehidupan yang brutal dan kacau itu. Dia juga disiksa oleh wanita yang disebut sebagai kekasih masa kecilnya Robin, Isabella. Dia tenggelam dalam depresi yang mendalam dan meninggal. Oleh karena itu, aku langsung membuat keputusan begitu aku terlahir kembali. Aku yang akan menikah dengan sang bos. Namun, aku tidak pernah menyangka bos yang dingin dan stoikisme itu akan menjadi pria yang berbeda setelah menikah. Setiap malam, dia yang berada di atas tubuhku akan menciumku seolah-olah terobsesi dan berbisik, "Gadis baik, aku akan membuatmu merasa enak. Sekali lagi saja ya, Sayang?"

In the silver Moon Pack, Elara was an Omega who was wolfless. She was a servant who slept in the dirt, and a debt-child used as a footstool by the Alpha’s family. She spent her life waiting for her destined mate to save her. But when Kaelen finally looked her in the eye, he rejected her as his mate publicly. “I, Kaelen of Silver-Moon, reject Elara as my mate. A true Alpha needs a Luna who is strong, not a slave.” Left to die in the freezing rain, Elara thinks her story is over. Out of the darkness come four men who look like gods and move like predators. They are the Vane brothers, the most powerful Alpha bloodline in the world. They have been hunting for their lost sister, Elara, for two decades. Caspian, the Ruthless CEO, Julian, the Brilliant Surgeon. Silas, the Lethal Lawyer. Dante, the Mafia King. They promised to burn the world down for her. They promised she would never be hungry, lonely, or unloved again. But as Elara’s true power awakens–a silver energy that humbles even the strongest Alphas–a dark secret emerges from the Vane family’s past. Her brothers saved her from the Silver Moon Pack, but they might be hiding the truth about her past. And in the shadows, a twin she never knew existed is coming to reclaim the throne.

Louisa Forge didn’t choose this. She was handed over like a bargaining chip — marked by an Alpha she despises, installed in a pack house that doesn’t want her, bound to a man who locks her in her room and calls it mercy. Kaelen is everything a wolf shouldn’t be: cruel, reckless, and hungry for a power he hasn’t earned. But the pack house has another occupant. Julian — former Alpha, widower, a man who has been quietly starving himself to death since the loss of his mate — is supposed to be irrelevant. A ghost in the east wing. Instead he’s the one who checks on her in the night, who brings her sedatives for the pain, who laughs with her over terrible soup until the whole dining room forgets to be miserable. He’s also the one who tells her, very clearly, that what happened between them during her heat meant nothing. He’s lying. They both know it. Caught between a mate bond she never consented to and a connection she can’t name, Louisa is doing what she does best — surviving. She’s building alliances in quiet corners, winning loyalty one small kindness at a time, and carrying a secret that could burn everything to the ground. Because the heir Kaelen is so desperate to claim? It isn’t his.

Three months since my husband, Julian Moretti, disappeared. I walked into his favorite den, the grief so deep it stole the air from my lungs. I just wanted to breathe him in, to find any trace of him that was left. Then I heard it. A familiar laugh. And the soft moan of a woman. Through a crack in the door, I saw him. My husband, the man "missing" for three months, had his hand tangled in another woman's hair. "Baby, just a little longer," he said. "Soon as I siphon enough cash from the family's books, we're gone. You and me." In his arms was Bianca, from the Rosso family. "What about your wife?" she purred. "Let her play the grieving widow. She's nothing without me anyway." My fists clenched. The world went quiet, my blood turning to ice. The next day, I put the word out to the entire Family. "I'm holding a memorial mass for my husband." At the service, he stormed in, a ghost returned from the grave, roaring that he was alive and there to take back what was his. But I was standing next to his uncle, Dante Moretti, and all I did was stare him down. "Then explain," I said, my voice cutting through the silence. "Explain the woman. Explain the money. Explain your betrayal... to the Family. And to me."

Red alert: This book is going to be full of erotic content. High sexual content, use of vulgar words and foul language. Thanks for the support of those that chose to proceed. “I know you are a werewolf and I know why you are here, but be rest assured I will never accept you as my fated mate and Luna queen. I, Newton Ashton Montgomery, hereby reject you as my fated mate.” “No, I will never accept your rejection, King!” Gwendolyn Hills grew up having everything she always wanted in life. Right from when she was a pup, she merely had to snap her fingers and get whatever it is. Every girl either wanted to be her or be her friend. The one thing she always looked forward to was her eighteenth birthday when she will shift to her wolf and become mated to her childhood crush and best friend, Julian, the incoming Alpha. Then on that very day, not only was she unable to transform, her once-perfect life fell apart before her eyes. In the snap of a finger, she became nothing but the pack’s new freak. When she had an encounter with the cold-hearted King of Lycan’s, her life further plunged deeper into a bottomless pit and this time, plunged with her heart. How is she going to fix the missing puzzles of her life, mend her broken heart and find true happiness in the midst of trying to find herself? Let's journey together to find out.

Two years into my marriage with Don Dante, my ex came back. Julian, the man who shattered my heart five years ago. He announced he was getting engaged. And he wanted me as his mistress. "I know I hurt you," he said. "My family looks down on mob ties. It was never going to work. But now? I'm marrying Tiffany. I'm taking over the family empire. I can finally afford to keep you." I just sneered at him. "Did it ever occur to you that I might be married?" He scoffed. "What decent family would have you? The daughter of a mob underboss? Don't be ridiculous." His arrogance made me sick. When I refused, he slapped a black card on the table. Told me to buy whatever I wanted. He said he'd pick me up next week. That we could spend every weekend tangled up in his bed. I spat on the floor at his feet. "Get him out," I told my guard. "And take his trash with him." He didn't get it. Not then. But he would. The moment he found out who I married. I didn't just marry anyone. I married the king of the Chicago underworld. A man he could never touch. And when he finally figured it out, he lost his goddamn mind.

Ellara Veloz, seorang jurnalis muda, mengalami mimpi aneh yang terus berulang. Dalam mimpi itu, ia melihat sebuah rumah tua yang asing baginya. Di loteng rumah itu, tersembunyi sebuah peti misterius—dan di permukaannya, terdapat garis-garis samar yang membentuk rute menuju sesuatu yang tak diketahui. Terobsesi dengan mimpi tersebut, El mencoba menelusuri jejaknya. Namun, yang ia temukan justru lebih aneh dari yang dibayangkan—tidak ada satu pun catatan tentang desa dalam mimpinya, seolah-olah tempat itu tidak pernah ada dalam sejarah. Bersama sahabatnya, Julian Edward, El berangkat mencari desa itu. Perjalanan mereka dipenuhi keanehan: jalanan yang hanya terlihat di bawah cahaya tertentu, pemukiman yang sepi tanpa tanda kehidupan, dan bangunan tua yang tampaknya telah lama ditinggalkan. Namun, semakin jauh mereka melangkah, semakin banyak sosok asing yang mulai memburu mereka—seakan ada sesuatu dalam peti itu yang tidak boleh ditemukan. Apa sebenarnya rahasia di balik peti tersebut? Mengapa desa itu seakan terhapus dari dunia? Dan yang lebih mengerikan, apakah mereka benar-benar siap menghadapi jawabannya? Perjalanan ini bukan hanya tentang menemukan sesuatu yang hilang—tetapi mengungkap sesuatu yang seharusnya tetap terkubur selamanya.
