"Do you want to get fu¢ked too?" he continued, his green eyes boring into mine as he bit his lips. "Do you want to swallow my ¢øck like that?"My nipples tightened painfully, and I hated the sweet, strange feeling spreading through my body. What was wrong with me?But then his expression changed, becoming cruel and cold."Your type belongs in the zoo," he said with a disgusted laugh. "With the big mighty elephants, waiting for your fat thighs and fat pussy."I choked on my own saliva, the words hitting me like physical blows. Axel had never talked to me that way before. Why was my body still reacting to him? Sera lived a life of humiliation due to her physical body size in Summer West Academy, she suffered and lived through the trauma just because the society didn't see her as a normal human. She hid her wolf and identity trying to blend in and lay low until the day the moon Goddess decided to pair her with Four dangerous Biker Alphas in the school. What started as hatred and disgust turned into something extremely Feral when she decided to take her revenge on them.

Elara ist verzweifelt. Ohne Job, ohne Geld und mit einer drohenden Kündigung über dem Kopf stolpert sie buchstäblich in das luxuriöse Firmengebäude von Aero Industries — und direkt in die Arme des gefährlichsten Mannes, den sie je gesehen hat. Aero. Kalt. Dominant. Unnahbar. Und ihr neuer Chef. Was Elara nicht weiß: In dem Moment, in dem sie ihn berührt, erkennt Aero die Wahrheit, die sein innerer Wolf sofort akzeptiert hat. Sie ist seine Gefährtin. Doch Aero schweigt. Statt ihr die Wahrheit zu sagen, stellt er sie als seine persönliche Sekretärin ein — fest entschlossen, sie in seiner Nähe zu behalten, bis er entscheidet, was mit ihr geschehen soll. Aber Elara ist nicht das schwache Mädchen, für das er sie gehalten hat. Sie widerspricht ihm. Sie stellt ihn infrage. Und sie bringt seine perfekte Kontrolle gefährlich ins Wanken. Je länger Aero sein Geheimnis verbirgt, desto stärker wird die Anziehung zwischen ihnen — und desto verheerender wird der Moment, in dem Elara die Wahrheit erfährt. Denn Gefährtenbindung bedeutet nicht nur Schicksal… …sondern auch Besitz.

Ich war genau auf eine einzige Party in meiner neuen, wohlhabenden Nachbarschaft gegangen. Danach verklagte mich meine Nachbarin Brenda. Vor Gericht hielt sie ihre Tochter Tiffany im Arm – voller blauer Flecken, gezeichnet und übel zugerichtet. Sie beschuldigte meinen Sohn, sie vergewaltigt zu haben. Mitten in der Anhörung zog Tiffany ihren Kragen herunter. Rote Striemen legten sich wie ein Ring um ihren Hals. „Er hat versucht, mir die Hose runterzureißen“, schluchzte sie. „Er wollte sich an mir vergreifen. Ich habe mich gewehrt. Also hat er mich geschlagen. Er hat mein Gesicht ruiniert!“ Draußen vor dem Gerichtsgebäude hielten Demonstranten Schilder hoch und beschimpften meinen Sohn als Abschaum – ein verzogenes, reiches Bengel. Im Internet ging ein gephotoshoptes Trauerbild von mir viral. Darunter stand: Die unfähige Mutter soll zusammen mit ihrem Sohn sterben. Der Aktienkurs meines Unternehmens stürzte ab. Aber ich saß einfach nur da. Steinern. Ausdruckslos. Dann verlangte ich, dass man meinen Sohn Cooper hereinbringen solle. Die Türen des Gerichtssaals öffneten sich. Cooper trat ein. Alle erstarrten.

An meinem Geburtstag flüsterte sein Untergebener ihm leise auf Russisch zu: „Heute Abend hat Fräulein Sara eine Überraschung für Sie vorbereitet.“ Mein Ehemann Martin Meier schnitt mir liebevoll ein Stück Kuchen ab und antwortete dann lächelnd auf Russisch: „Sie hat im Bett so einige Tricks drauf. Ich schaue gleich bei ihr vorbei.“ „Auf keinen Fall darf Lea davon erfahren. Ich will nicht, dass sie mich verlässt.“ Alle Anwesenden lächelten wissend und versprachen einmütig, Stillschweigen zu bewahren. Sie wussten alle nicht, dass ich seit meiner Kindheit mehrere Sprachen fließend beherrschte. Ich hatte auch längst das Handy entdeckt, das er im Geheimfach versteckt hielt – und darauf die schamlosen Videos, die er mit Sara Lange aufgenommen hatte. Ich hielt damit hinter dem Berg. Stattdessen nahm ich Kontakt zu ehemaligen Vertrauten der Familie Schneider auf, um mir eine völlig neue Identität zu verschaffen. In drei Tagen würde Lea Schneider für immer verschwunden sein. Damit hätte er mich endgültig verloren.

Returning from the hospital with life-changing news, Isabella attends a heart shattering ceremony: her husband of six years announcing another woman as his fiancee. In the blink of an eye, she loses everything, including her law firm, to her deceitful husband, Daniel West, and sister, Christabella.

Well, not until a certain fiery, auburn-haired, hazel-eyed, 5'5 woman storms into his life, threatening to unravel everything. She was meant to be his wife only on paper, a tool to enhance his public image—not the woman who ignites his darkest desires or the one he'd burn the world for.

One divorce. One hundred dollars. One hell of a mistake. Katherine West had it all, until her husband, George, dropped a bomb on their five-year anniversary: He’s gay, he’s in love, and she’s evicted. Left with a frozen bank account and a shattered heart, Katherine decides to go out with a bang. She spends her last hundred dollars on the most dangerous-looking man at The Gilded Lily, hoping for one night of friction to erase five years of lies. It worked. It was the best mistake of her life. Until the next morning, when a court order forces Katherine and George to live together for ninety days of marriage counseling. George has lost his fortune and moved them into his mysterious new lover’s penthouse to save face. The door opens, and Katherine meets her new landlord: Killian McLeroy. The man she hired last night. The man her husband calls the love of his life." Now, Katherine is trapped in a house of glass with the man who knows her body, the man who stole her husband, and a secret that could burn all of Manhattan down. Ninety days. Two enemies. One bed. Let the games begin.

Lady Nicole Bradshaw was born to one of the wealthiest families in England and had an arranged marriage since before she was born. She had never laid eyes on Lord Francis Ravenport but she was assured he was a handsome fellow. He had recently moved his company to the West Indies and she wouldn't see him until the wedding. When she gets to travel to London with family friends, she knows she will never lay eyes on the Marquess as her husband. Austin Duncan was not a special man. He was the third son to an Earl and gave everything up to be in His Majesty's Army. He never dreamed of marriage or finding a young lady due to him being a soldier. In 1789, it was a questionable time and he could never marry to just leave a woman widowed. While in London on assignment, he knows he will throw everything out the window. One glance at Lady Nicole and Austin knows he will never be the same. Nicole sees him and thinks for sure being an only child is surely unfair and she would risk her reputation for a few moments alone with him. Could a Scandalous Love bring them closer together or tear them worlds apart?
