"Fate has a peculiar sense of humor, especially when it comes to love. Gia, a young woman struggling to keep her comatose mother alive, is forced to work as a waitress on the yacht of the powerful and arrogant CEO, Juno Greco. A man-made accident unleashes the fury of this shipping magnate, who uses his influence to close all doors to her, preventing her from getting a job. Between misfortunes that seem to haunt her and her extraordinary ability to get into trouble, Gia must face loss, betrayal and a love born of hate. Fate takes an unexpected turn when Juno's grandmother, a woman of strong character and noble heart, takes Gia under her wing. What begins as a battle of wills between Juno and Gia turns into a story of forbidden passion, betrayal and second chances, where pride and secrets threaten to destroy the only true thing they have found in their lives: a love as intense as it is destructive."

Now a shadow of the man he once was, he’s convinced he deserves the emptiness he lives in. Until fate forces their paths to cross again. She's colder. He's broken.

He was a caged dragon burning with a fire for pleasure. She was sent to tame him— but she played his fire like a song. Elaina walked into the dungeon with a harp, a plan, and no intention of surrender. Drake expected another temptress. What he got was a challenge wrapped in silk and steel.

WARNING: RATED 18+| NO RAPE!!! Excerpt; "Was I a good girl?" she hiccupped, her bare skin flushed and glowed as she rolled across the sheets like she owned the bed—and him. Six weeks without his touch had scraped her raw. She was slowly losing touch of her sanity. "You did good, Penguin," Alanis said, his voice low and rough as he reached for his tie. And just like that, the spell cracked. He was leaving...again. It wasn't fair, she had to remain in the shadows, while her perfect half-sister was rubbing his chest in public. Poppy slammed the door shut, while she arranged her robe, her eyes wet and wild. "Can you… stay… just one more night?" He hesitated. And she saw it, the guilt and pull. "You know how this—" Something made him stop mid-sentence. His gaze dropped. One sharp breath, and he was staring at her peaked nipple like it was a commandment. "Please?" she breathed, arching toward him. With a low growl, he tossed her back on the bed because he had been starved, and he was ready to devour his Penguin. ... Poppy never had a chance to be the golden girl. Not with a cruel stepmother, and a father who forgot she even existed. Penelope was given everything that belonged to Poppy. Now Penny's prize? A diamond ring—a wedding to Alanis Caelum, Velmora's most powerful billionaire. Cold, brilliant, and devastatingly magnetic. To everyone but Poppy. Because before he became Penny’s perfect fiancé, he belonged to Poppy—in the dark, in secret, in sin. He knows her body like a weapon. He calls her Penguin with a growl that makes her knees buckle. And when he’s inside her, he forgets who he's supposed to love. She had him wrapped so tight, he forgot the world.

Out of desperation, binanggit niya ang pangalan ng kaniyang boss bilang bagong boyfriend, even if alam niyang mali iyon.
