Lauren Graham

“What if I choose not to?” I asked. “You don't want your little secret to get out, do you.” he raised a brow. “No, I don't.” I said, dropping my head. “Good.” he said, and snapped his fingers. A young man walked up to our table with a briefcase in his grip. Conrad received the briefcase from him, and placed it on the table. He unlocked and turned it to me. In the briefcase were wads of cash. “I believe this is good for a start.” he said. “Also, I'll help you get rid of that scar on your face. So what do you say? Do we have a deal or not?” ********************* One minute, Lauren was preparing to leave home for her friend's birthday party. And the next? She is a murderer. Faced with the chance of spending the rest of her life behind bars, she's approached by Conrad Anderson — son of the man whom she murdered. He offers her a deal: help him get some information from the CEO of Beamers Industries — Thomas Roy, by becoming his secretary and he would keep her secret safe with a promise to help her get rid of the scar on her face. But when she realizes that she's nothing but a pawn in Conrad's game of revenge, would she terminate the deal, and suffer for her sins, or would she help him get the information which he needs to ruin Thomas's life completely?

Five years ago, I woke up naked beside my husband’s beta, and in that moment, my entire world burned. My mate, Draven, the Alpha of Midnight MC, looked at me like I was filth. He didn’t let me speak. He didn’t believe me. He stripped me of my title, my name, and everything I was, and he banished me. I rebuilt my life from the ashes as a mechanic. A woman learning to live without the bond that once defined her. Until the day he walked back into my life, not Draven, but his estranged stepbrother, Calix. The same man who used to torment me in college just to get under my skin. Cocky, reckless, and infuriatingly charming, the kind of danger that made my heart forget how to beat. He offered me a deal to pretend to be his girlfriend in a three-month biker tournament and he’d rebuild my shattered shop. I should’ve said no. Because when I walked into that tournament, I saw Draven again, he looked colder than I remembered... and standing beside him, heavily pregnant, was my best friend, Lauren, who betrayed me. Now my past and present are colliding in flames. The mate who abandoned me wants me back. The stepbrother who once bullied me wants me. And the lies that ruined my life are unraveling faster than I can breathe. I’m torn between two brothers, one who broke my soul and one who pieced it back together. And I don’t know which one I’m meant to love... or which one will burn me in the end.

I have to stay with him. My plan is simple. Stay long enough for the snow to thaw and be on my way. But day after day, I find myself falling for him, even when I shouldn’t. He annoys me and gets on my nerves.I know he hates me. He doesn’t want me around him. I do want him to want me though. But we can’t always have what we want, can we? Hunter My life wasn’t so bad, till she came along. The nosy reporter. I shouldn’t have her around me, yet here she is. Believe me, I’ve had my fair share of bad experiences with people. I’ve learnt to trust no one. Especially her. Yet, no matter what I do, I find myself getting drawn to her, craving her. Despite my hostility towards her, she invades my thoughts, a haunting presence I can’t escape. I hate her. I really do. So why do I see her when I close my eyes and why do I feel her when she’s not even close?. I can’t possibly love her. I can’t possibly love anyone else. Not after what I’ve been through. Or can I? One thing is certain. Regardless of how I feel, we’re stuck with each other.

Laurens Leben wurde auf den Kopf gestellt, als ihr erwählter Gefährte von zehn Jahren sie für seine Schicksalsgefährtin verließ. Eine Gefährtin, die ihn einst für einen mächtigeren Alpha abgewiesen hatte. Mit ihrer Rückkehr in ihr Leben wurde Lauren alles genommen und sie blieb mit nichts zurück. Gebrochen und niedergeschlagen ging sie fort, unfähig den verzehrenden Schmerz des Verrats zu ertragen. Die Umstände zwangen sie zur Rückkehr, und sie fand einen unerwarteten Verbündeten in Alpha Sebastian. Ein Mann, der gleichermaßen gefürchtet wie verehrt wurde. Ein König ohne Thron, der sowohl über die Menschen- als auch die Wolfswelt herrschte. Er war außerdem der Erzfeind ihres ehemaligen Gefährten. Ihre Verbindung war ungewöhnlich. Er war zu kalt und sie entsprach nicht seinem Typ. Liebe stand nicht auf ihrer Agenda. Warum durchfuhr sie dann dieses Kribbeln, wenn er sie als seine bezeichnete? Und warum sah er sie an, als wäre sie seine Erlösung? Es stellte sich heraus, dass ihre Feinde ihre geringste Sorge war. Nicht wenn die wahre Gefahr im Feuer lag, das zwischen ihnen entfacht. Das Feuer, das sie in Liebe und Leidenschaft entflammen oder sie zerstören konnte. Hinweis: Dieses Buch ist eine Zwei-in-Eins-Ausgabe.

(SSPG WARNING! Read at your own risk!)“Damn, we shouldn’t be doing this, Lauren,” gigil na bulong ni Zai habang nakaupo ako sa kanyang kandungan. Patuloy pa rin ang paghalík niya sa akin. Nalalasahan ko naman ang alak sa kanyang dila. “Uhmm~” Umawang ang labi ko nang sapuin niya ang malusog kong sùso habang patuloy sa pagsípsip sa aking labi. “Ugh fùck, stop grinding on my top,” awat niya kasabay ng paghapit niya sa aking baywang. Sumubsob ang sùso ko sa kanyang matigas na dibdib. Ngunit hindi ako nagpatalo at mas idiniin ang sarili ko sa kanyang alaga na kumakawala na sa suot niyang slacks. Saglit akong humiwalay at napatitig sa gwapo niyang mukha. “What?” namamaos niyang bulong. Basa ang labi, at kumalat na ang lipstick ko sa gilid ng kanyang namumulang labi. “We both hate each other, but why in the fùck are we kissíng?” lasing niyang bulong at naging hudyat ‘yon upang mas halíkan niya ang labi ko. Hindi ko rin alam ang sagot, o baka lasing lang ako dahil uhaw na uhaw ako sa kanyang haplos, at halik. “Your boyfriend is gonna kill me,” gigil niyang bulong at hínimas ang hita ko dahilan para umangat ang micro skirt na suot ko. “You’re gonna regret this, Lauren. Your boyfriend is like my brother, but I couldn't care less. Now that you’re on my top, fuck.” Pinag-init ako ng kanyang sinabi dahilan para hímasin ko ang kanyang alaga na tigas na tigas at umaabot na sa kanyang puson. “Fùck!” malutong niyang mura na ikinangisi ko.
