Julie London Nude

I came home early and found my husband buried deep inside my best friend. I threw a wine bottle at his head, and walked out of the door. That night I ended up in a bar I'd never been to, and somehow in the arms of the most dangerously beautiful stranger I'd ever seen. No name, no numbers, just one night that I told myself it meant nothing. Six weeks later I found out I was pregnant. I didn't know if the baby belonged to my soon-to-be ex husband or the stranger whose name I never got. So I did the only thing that made sense, I ran and built a life in London from scratch and raised my son alone for six years. It was okay, until my estranged father died and left me his entire billion-dollar empire with one condition. I had to marry his protege. Zake Langston. The most powerful man in New York. The man who looked at me across that law firm like he already knew exactly who I was, because he did. He was the stranger from the bar. Now my ex wants my son. My dead father's enemies want my company and the man I'm forced to call my husband is looking at me like the night we shared six years ago was never finished. Maybe it wasn't.

London was supposed to be freedom. A clean start far from the bruises, the shouting, and the father who made my childhood a nightmare. For two quiet years, I built a small, safe life with books, cold nights, and nobody to fear. But safety ends the moment danger knocks on my door. One unforgivable mistake. And suddenly I'm not just found by the devil in a suit-I'm sold. Straight into the hands of Antonio Rosa, the ruthless Don of New York. Antonio Ruling New York with iron fist, blood, and zero mercy has always been therapeutic. People don't hand me their daughters on a whim-they hand me their fear. But when a useless man tries to buy his life with a trembling girl, I take the deal... if only to teach him a final lesson. Daisy Harrison is supposed to be my warning to him. The man who couldn't care less about her. My leverage. My future wife in name only. Something pretty to destroy while the world watches and does nothing. But the moment she lifts her chin at me, all fire and defiance, I know I've made the most dangerous mistake of my life. Because I don't fall. I don't feel. I don't love. Yet here I am... losing control over the one woman I was never meant to keep.

Le jour de ma fête d'anniversaire, mon mari Léo Thomas a soudainement amené ma sœur adoptive Anne et son enfant. Au moment de partir, il a naturellement installé Anne à côté de lui, puis il m'a dit : « L'enfant a facilement le mal des transports, la banquette arrière est pleine de choses, et toi, tu peux prendre le bus, tu es en bonne forme. » Mes amis ont immédiatement ajouté : « Tu es sa sœur, tu devrais t'occuper d'elle et de son enfant. » Il y avait quatre voitures, mais il n'y avait aucune place pour moi, la personne principale. J'ai donc pris le bus, toute triste, et en chemin, j'ai vu dans le groupe de discussion que Léo et Anne Dupont échangeaient des messages complices. En plus, les sujets dont je ne savais rien. Lorsque j'ai ouvert la vidéo publiée il y a peu, il n'y avait plus que des restes sur la table préparés pour moi. Même mon gâteau d'anniversaire, que j'avais préparé avec soin, avait été donné par Léo comme dessert à Anne et à sa fille. Certaines personnes, choquées, lui ont demandé s'il ne trouvait pas ça un peu excessif. Tout en essuyant la bouche d'Anne, Léo a répondu sans même lever la tête : « Nous sommes tous une famille, Julie Dubois ne va pas être en colère. » À ce moment-là, mon mariage de sept ans avec lui s'est terminé.

In 1612, he couldn’t save her. In 2026, he might not want to. Elias Thorne was a man of maps and measurements, the King’s most trusted surveyor, until the smoke of the Lancashire witch trials choked the life out of everything he loved. Catherine wasn’t a witch—she was just an innocent woman caught in the gears of a superstitious world. When Elias was turned into something monstrous that same year, he didn't see it as a curse; he saw it as a deadline. He had forever to find a way to bring her back. For four centuries, Elias moved through the shadows of history, building an empire of wealth and dark influence. He hunted every myth, funded every occult discovery, and bled for every lead—all to find a soul that refused to return. He grew bitter, his heart hardening into the very stone of the London streets he walked. He eventually gave up on the heavens and the hells, settling into a life of cold, immortal apathy. Then, on a Tuesday afternoon, he sees her. She’s standing in line for coffee, wearing headphones and a denim jacket, looking exactly like the woman he watched die under a grey Jacobean sky. She has no memory of the fire, the maps, or the man who has spent four hundred years hating the world for her sake. Now, Elias faces a choice: Walk away and let her live the peaceful life he once prayed for, or reclaim a love that doesn’t belong to him anymore. But Catherine has secrets of her own—and in the modern world, the ghosts of 1612 are finally starting to catch up.
