Masked Rider Black

"I don't want to marry you!" "You have no choice, Celeste. Your father sold you to me the moment he couldn't pay his debt." Celeste Madrigal lived a simple life running a small coffee shop—until one day, she’s dragged into a world of guns, masked strangers, and billion-dollar debts she never knew existed. When her father’s empire crumbles under a staggering two-billion-dollar debt, Celeste finds herself thrown to the mercy of a dangerous man—a masked billionaire known for his cold-blooded ruthlessness. As payment, he demands only one thing: her hand in marriage. With no choice left, Celeste is forced to become his bride... but behind the mask lies a man with secrets darker than she could ever imagine. And when love begins to bloom in the shadows, will she run—or will she fall deeper into the arms of the man who ruined her life?

The only thing Kyle Rutherford ever lived for is revenge. After the murder of his billionaire parents, he lost not only the wealth, but he was forced into hiding and left with nothing but rage. Now, years later, with a new surname and a deadly plan, he’s ready to strike. But everything changes when he meets someone at the Masked Ball who gives him hope, desire, maybe even love. Until he discovers the truth. The one person who makes his heart race, is the son of his greatest enemy, Williams Thorne. Williams was groomed to rule. Not to feel. But something about the masked boy haunts him. And when secrets start to unravel and desires start to burn where hatred once lived, Kyle is torn between two fates: Destroy the Thorne’s Legacy or Fall for the one person he was never supposed to love. Because some mask don’t just hide who we are, they show us who we could have been all along. Will he go through with his plan for vengeance? Or will love become the most dangerous game of all?

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith—the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room—Manhattan's most exclusive masked club—she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

Ever since I got pregnant, my husband hadn’t touched me. However, to my embarrassment, my body had only grown more sensitive. Every night, I would find myself craving for touch, unable to stop my mind from wandering to all kinds of fantasies, that was until the night a masked man broke into my home.

Ethan Hawke spend three years of being a worker to the Rider family and was treated as a slave by the mother and children and was seen as nothing more than a servant who does nothing to earn his keep, being insulted and look down on constantly by them.

Nina Simone is the legitimate daughter of Dave Simone with his first wife, but after she died, he married his rich mistress who had a daughter for him around the same age as Nina, and because of his mistress's wealth, he let them get away with hurting Nina and turned a blind eye to their abuse. Then she got slapped in the face by a shocking life-changing moment when she was betrayed by her father and everyone else in her life that she trusted. A mess-up twist of fate blended Ethan and Nina through an arranged marriage, and all hell broke loose for those that had hurt and looked down upon them...

"You think you know hate, Avery?" His voice a dangerous rumble that seemed to roll straight through me. "Hate is easy. It’s the love that complicates everything." "Love? Don't talk to me about love. You wouldn't recognize it if it clawed its way into your heart." Liam's expression darkened, "And whose fault is that, remind me? You destroyed every ounce of it." My eyes filled with tears instantly, my voice so thick, it hurt my throat as the words came out. "And you made me pay for it, in the most horrible way. A person who loved a girl with his whole heart would never be able to do what you've done, what you've allowed to happen. That's why I hate you, because you never loved me, or else you couldn't do all this to me." His eyes sparked with anger "You have no idea what you're talking about." "Maybe I do, maybe I don't," I shot back bitterly, "But it seems like the only thing you're good at is pretending. Pretending to care, pretending to love—" "That's enough!" his voice boomed. "You want to see how real my feelings are? I should teach you a lesson on underestimating them." I tilted my chin up in defiance "Go on then, teach me." The next moment was a blur of motion as he closed the distance between us. His hands gripped my face, not gentle but not cruel—a fervent, desperate hold. His lips met mine in an intense, raw kiss, fueled by anger and deep, relentless desire. The kiss was punishing, his mouth moving against mine with a fierce urgency that left no room for doubts or second thoughts. As he pulled back, his eyes bore into mine, challenging, questioning, daring me to deny what lay between us.
