Mirror Image Sandra Brown

"I'm coming for you. No matter how far you think you can run, I can assure you that you can't hide and I'm closer to you than you think." Cassandra receives this letter from her mailbox. It's the millionth time she's been receiving these threats on a regular basis and her entire life is at stake and the tragedy of her life puts not only her but her husband, Mustafa on the edge as well, as Sandra is curious as to who is planning to desperately to put her in bondage again. Who could want to put her in captivity? Could it be her ex boyfriend, Dan? No. He didn't love her. He only broke her heart and cheated on her severally so there was no way on earth that he would want her. Could it be the loan shark that enslaved her when she was nine? Or could it be her mother placing yet another risky gamble over her life?

Saat hamil tujuh bulan, suamiku, Ben Harsono, menganggap aku kotor. “Jangan sentuh aku!” Di depan pintu masuk, ia mendorongku dengan jijik. “Bau minyak dapur, menjijikkan.” Mertuaku keluar dari kamar setelah mendengar keributan. Ia pun menyerahkan semangkuk sup sarang burung yang baru direbus kepada Ben. “Sandra, kamu tidak tahu kalau Ben punya germofobia? Sudah hamil begini masih tidak bisa menjaga kebersihan?” “Ben sudah lelah bekerja, tidak bisakah kamu membuatnya lebih tenang?” Aku memandang ibu dan anak itu dengan perut yang terasa mual dan bergejolak. Saat aku berbalik, layar ponselku menyala. Sebuah foto terpampang jelas. Itu adalah asisten baru Ben, Lina. Di foto, wanita itu bersandar mesra di bahu Ben, tersenyum cerah. Latar tempatnya ... kamar tidurku.

The night was stormy and the sky was without stars as the cloud weeps heavily, the rain poured down in endless torrents as the rogues tore through the pack killing every living and moving thing they could find, lightning flashes across the sky and the thunder roars louder than ever. I stood in the midst of all the destruction too shocked to move a limb, a dirty looking brown rogue noticed me and darted in my direction but my mom's white wolf ran into his side causing him to fall to the ground before digging her teeth into his neck and then proceeded to shake her head until the brown Wolf's neck snap with a sickening pop, she let go and was making her way to me when a rogue jumped on her back and tore a huge chunk of flesh of her neck she yelped in pain and fell to the ground before shifting back into her human form as her body became too weak to keep her in wolf form. The wolf took another at her draining her of all life while I stood rooted to a spot with tears out of my eyes. A painful howl sounded not too far away and my eyes darted to the black wolf it came from, my father's wolf Whimpered at the loss of his soul mate. The rogue leader took the chance and lunged at his throat killing him. And so in one night my parents to a pack of rogues and it's all because I was too weak to do anything to save them.

Dominic Romanov, a mafia boss who spends the night with a beautiful woman who leaves him wanting more than what he bargained for. His hand reached up, clasping around my neck and causing my eyes to shoot open. "Tell me how you want to be fucked, Caitlin." He taunted licking his bottom lip as his brown eyes darkened. There was a predatory lust on his features as he stared at me. My rational brain switched off - allowing me to completely be controlled by the pure lust I felt. I smiled when his hand tightened. "However you want."

Cassandra is summoned by a magical owl, and she discovers that another world exists in the middle of Siberia, where monsters, faeries, elves, and sorcerei fight for domination. She soon becomes inextricably involved in the affairs of this 'other dimension' that lies behind a magical mirror, and everyone in that realm is at the mercy of the blue moon. But Cassandra has never expected to meet a sorceress quite like Princess Vasilisa, not to mention, she is an actual legendary Vasilisa the Wise from the fairytale she has read as a kid. Vasilisa is also a daughter of an evil sorcerer Czar, and whose plan is to overrule the human world and the magical world with the help of an all-powerful dark lord, Koschei, the Deathless. When the night of the solstice arrives, Cassandra's mortal realm and the magical one will collide. If she doesn't help Vasilisa find the Golden Wand and stop her greedy father before the winter solstice, both their lives and everyone else's will fall into an inevitable apocalypse.

I went to sleep a nobody. I woke up a Queen. One night I was just a broke, exhausted college girl. The next, I opened my eyes in silk sheets, with strangers bowing and calling me Luna Queen. The face in the mirror is mine. The body is mine. But the life isn’t. The bruises on my wrists tell a story I don’t remember, and the King I’m bound to doesn’t love me—he loathes me. They whisper that his mistress rules the palace. They say the Queen was weak. Silent. Broken. But that was before me. Now I must survive a palace that wants me dead, a King whose touch burns as much as it scars, and a kingdom waiting for me to fail. The old Luna Queen bowed to cruelty. I am not her. And if this King thinks I’ll kneel, he’s about to learn what a true Queen is made of.

Alessia dachte, sie hätte alles … eine Karriere, die sie sich selbst aufgebaut hatte, einen Ehemann, den sie liebte, und ein Baby unterwegs. Dann erzählte ihr ihre beste Freundin Sandra die Wahrheit: Sie schlief seit sechs Monaten mit Edward. Auch sie war schwanger. Alessia ließ sich noch am selben Tag von ihm scheiden. Fünf Jahre später hatte sie ein neues Leben begonnen. Neuer Ehemann. Neues Leben. Ihr Sohn Davison kann sich nicht einmal mehr an Edward erinnern. Bis Davison krank wird. Leukämie. Die einzige Heilungsmöglichkeit ist eine Knochenmarktransplantation von einem Geschwisterkind. Die Ärzte geben ihr nur eine Möglichkeit: ein weiteres Kind mit Edward zu bekommen. Alessia willigt ein, denn sie würde alles tun, um ihren Sohn zu retten. Doch die Abmachung ist klar: Sie trägt das Baby aus und gibt es dann zur Adoption frei. Sandra zieht es auf. Alessia geht. Es sollte so einfach sein. Ist es aber nicht. Denn Edward hat nie aufgehört, sie zu lieben. Jeffrey kann ihr nicht verzeihen. Sandras Eifersucht gerät außer Kontrolle.

Als das Baby geboren wird und Davison überlebt, glaubt Alessia, alles sei vorbei. Doch zwölf Jahre später treffen die Jungen aufeinander. Sie werden beste Freunde, ohne zu wissen, dass sie Brüder sind. Als Davisons Krebs zurückkehrt, kann ihn nur der Bruder retten, von dessen Existenz er nichts wusste – der Junge, den Alessia weggegeben hat, um sein Leben zu retten. Nun droht jedes Geheimnis, jede Lüge, jedes Opfer ans Licht zu kommen. Und diesmal gibt es kein Entrinnen mehr.

My husband's beloved lover suffered from menstruation complications. A traveling doctor claimed that a fresh placenta was needed to cure her. His gaze fixated on my seven-months-pregnant baby bump. And thus, I was pinned down on the bed as they ripped the placenta from my body. My son was carelessly tossed aside. He didn't even get the chance to cry before his tiny body fell silent forever. My husband pinched his nose in disgust, frowning as he looked at me—bleeding out, feebly reaching for my child. “It’s just a premature baby. He'll be fine after a few days of care. Why are you making such a fuss? Sandra is waiting for her medicine." He left and locked the door behind him without looking back. He claimed it was a lesson I needed to learn. By the time he finally remembered us, my son and I had long since bled dry, our bodies cold and stiff.
