laurel lance

Chiara has never been wanted. Everyone thought of her as a burden and waste of space all her life. When an opportunity presented itself to prove her worth, she eagerly grabbed it. Little did she know that her choice would strip her freedom away and chain her to be the wife and property of Adrian, Alpha of the Galway Pack. A loveless marriage and a cruel husband she can't escape away from, finding her fated mate is now a distant fantasy for her. That was until another alpha bulldozed his way into her life and forced her to take the reigns of her fate once more. Lance is a rogue alpha on the run for over a decade. Blamed for the death of his former pack, he tried to start a new life away from the city and other wolves. However, he's eventually caught by the Galway Pack and offered a second chance as a personal bodyguard for the Alpha's wife. It is a sin for him to set his eyes on Chiara, much more to fall in love with the pack alpha's mate, but his wolf and heart have other things to say. An omega in a gilded cage and a rogue alpha chained by his past sins... can Chiara and Lance find the courage to carve their own paths, or will they simply be swept away by the raging river of fate?

Adrianna’s wishlist never included faking her identity, but when her sister’s mysterious death is linked to Lance Hamilton—a powerful and dangerous mafia boss—she makes a bold move. To take him down from the inside. But things don’t go as planned. Lance is not the monster Adrianna thought he was, and the deeper she digs, the darker the truths she uncovers about the people she thought she could trust. Now, enemies are everywhere, and Adrianna is caught in a game far bigger—and deadlier—than she ever imagined. With danger chasing her at every turn, Adrianna has to decide: can she trust Lance to help her survive, or will he be the one to destroy her?

It had been ten years since Julliane was cast out by the very people she once called family. Her own mother and stepbrother had driven her away from Magnolia Manor-the grand estate owned by the Dankworth family. Now, after a decade of silence, Lance Dankworth, the eldest son of the man her mother had married, stood at her door. He came bearing grim news, her mother had been in a tragic accident. An event serious enough to require Julliane's return to the manor she had long left behind. Julliane couldn't forget how Lance used to see her. He'd branded her a troublemaker, a slut, even when she was just a girl. To him, she had brought nothing but shame and pain to his family. And yet, here he was, asking her to come back with him. She knew he despised her. So why, after all these years, was he suddenly asking her to stay-and worse, to marry him?

Alexander Carter, un puissant milliardaire, voit sa vie basculer lorsqu’un tragique accident lui arrache sa femme enceinte, Elena. Brisé, il refuse d’accepter que ce drame soit un simple hasard. Convaincu qu’il s’agit d’un meurtre déguisé, il se lance dans une quête de vengeance implacable. Après des mois d’enquête et de doutes, il finit par identifier une famille qu’il soupçonne d’être responsable de la mort d’Elena. Incapable de frapper directement ceux qu’il accuse, il choisit une cible inattendue : une jeune femme innocente, issue de cette famille. Il la kidnappe, persuadé qu’elle détient des réponses… ou qu’elle peut lui servir d’appât pour attirer les coupables. Mais ce qu’Alexander n’avait pas prévu, c’était qu’au fil des jours passés à la retenir captive, un trouble grandissant s’empare de lui. Derrière sa colère et sa soif de vengeance, une autre émotion commence à émerger… une attirance dangereuse, insidieuse, qu’il refuse d’accepter. Tiraillé entre son désir de justice et les sentiments qu’il commence à éprouver pour cette femme qu’il a faite prisonnière, Alexander se retrouve face à un dilemme. Peut-il se permettre d’aimer à nouveau alors que son cœur est consumé par la haine ? Et si la vérité était bien plus complexe qu’il ne l’imaginait ? Dans une atmosphère de tension psychologique et de passion interdite, Vengeance Mortelle est une histoire où la haine et l’amour s’affrontent, et où le plus grand combat d’Alexander ne sera peut-être pas contre ses ennemis… mais contre lui-même.

Tagos sa kasalanan. Lunod sa tukso. Trixie Manalastas thought she had it all figured out—loyal assistant by day, quiet and composed by night. Pero nagbago ang lahat nang mapilitan siyang tumira sa iisang bubong kasama ng lalaking bawal niyang pagnasaan—ang brother-in-law niyang si Lance Dominic "Dom" Arriola. Tall, brooding, at laging naka-sando na parang kasalanan ang bawat muscle, si Dominic ang tipo ng lalaking tinitingnan mo lang dapat… pero hindi mo dapat hinahangaan. Lalo na’t kapatid siya ng fiancé mo. Pero paano kung sa bawat titig niya ay may banta ng tukso? Sa bawat sulyap, parang hinuhubaran ka na? Sa bawat gabing tahimik, may mga ungol na gustong kumawala? At paano kung isang gabing walang kuryente, sa ilalim ng init ng dilim, hindi mo na mapigilan ang sarili mo—at ang kasalanan ay hindi lang basta nangyari, kundi sinadya? This is not your typical love story. This is a tale of temptation, guilt, and a kind of pleasure na bawal pero hindi mo maitatangging gusto mo. Because sometimes… the one who ruins you, is the one you crave the most.

“He is here again”, I murmured to myself as I could feel the air shift in the room. I pulled my nightgown down to cover myself as cold and warmth enveloped me in a soothing embrace. It felt like a warm blanket had been wrapped around me. He smelled faintly of dark vanilla and something musky, something warm. I could feel his breath on my skin before the bed dipped. He pulled me closer and wrapped his hands around me. I closed my eyes and waited for his soothing murmurs in my ears. “Did you miss me”? He moaned into my ears.
