Di lingkungan para konglomerat, ada sebuah aturan tak tertulis, yaitu pasangan yang menikah karena aliansi keluarga boleh saja punya kehidupan masing-masing di luar. Namun, apa pun yang dibelikan untuk selingkuhan, wajib dibelikan juga untuk pasangan sah di rumah. Dean Ramosh adalah orang yang sangat berprinsip. Jadi bahkan setelah Keluarga Syahrina bangkrut, dia tetap teguh mematuhi aturan itu, bahkan memberikannya seratus kali lipat demi menghargai Calista Syahrina. Jika kartu selingkuhannya menerima uang saku 200 juta per bulan, kartu Calista harus stabil menerima 20 miliar. Baru saja Dean menghadiahi selingkuhannya perhiasan senilai dua miliar, dia langsung mengirimkan Calista sebuah cincin zamrud antik bernilai 200 miliar. Para nyonya kalangan elite yang sudah terbiasa melihat laki-laki hidup hedon bersama wanita simpanan, memang menghela napas prihatin melihat drama asmara antara Calista dan Dean yang sempat membuat heboh seantero kota. Namun, mereka tetap saja tak tahan untuk memberi saran bahwa Calista seharusnya belajar untuk merasa bersyukur. Bersyukur? Tentu saja Calista merasa bersyukur. Oleh karena itu, di hari ketika Dean terang-terangan memberikan sebuah rumah di pinggiran kota yang nilainya tak seberapa kepada selingkuhannya, Calista juga menerima sertifikat Vila Northcoast No. 1 dari tangan Dean sambil berkata, "Sepertinya aku tiba-tiba merasa agak bosan. Gimana kalau kita bercerai?"

"You were promised to me, Alessia, not even death can change that." Alessia Capone was born a mafia princess, powerful last name, perfect future and zero control. At just fourteen, her parents sold her into a blood-soaked engagement with Rino Lombardi, the cold, dangerous heir of Italy’s most feared criminal empire. He was obsessed from the moment he saw her. She hated him before he even spoke. To escape that fate, she ran straight into the arms of another man. A man who turned out to be worse than her worst nightmare. Now, decades later, Rino Lombardi is back. Widowed. Ruthless. More powerful than ever. And still maddeningly obsessed with the one woman who got away. He made a vow to himself. If he can’t have her willingly, he’ll burn the world until she begs to come home. But Alessia is no longer the young girl he once knew. She’s a queen in her own right. She’ll never kneel, never submit, not even to the devil she once escaped. ...Or will she? Because the man she swore to hate may be the only one she’s ever truly belonged to. And this time, he’s not asking.

16 year old Scarlet Paine finds herself changing in mysterious ways. She is becoming sensitive to light, able to read peoples’ thoughts, and is faster and stronger than she’s ever been. She doesn’t understand what’s happening to her, and tries to ignore it. But she can only dismiss it for so long.

Caitlin Paine, her mom, knows too well what’s happening to her daughter. She underwent the same transformation to vampire once, centuries ago. But now, in the present day, as a mere human, she has no memory of it. All she has is the journal she found in the attic—her mysterious vampire journal—telling of her exploits in another time and place, and of the vampire race being eradicated. But was there one exception to the rule? Could it be that Scarlet, her daughter, is the last remaining vampire on earth?

As Scarlet tries to fight who she’s becoming, she also tries to fight her intense feelings for Blake, a boy in her grade who she has a crush on. She can’t tell, though, if he’s into her, and with the big Halloween dance just days away, the pressure is on. She would do anything for Blake to ask her. But Vivian, the meanest of the popular girls, is also on Blake’s radar, and she’ll do anything to make Blake hers—and to make Scarlet’s life a living hell.

Luckily Scarlet has her own clique of friends to back her up, including her best friends Maria and Jasmin. They, too, have guy troubles—but it isn’t until Sage appears, the mysterious new boy, that her friends become obsessed. Scarlet finds herself attracted to him, too—and is surprised when it is her, of all the girls in the school, that he pays attention to. But her mind is set on Blake, at least for now, and she continues to hope he’ll ask her to the dance.

Just when it seems that Scarlet has what she wants, her body changes. Soon it may be impossible for her to be near her fellow humans. Soon, she may have to choose between her desire to live and her desire for love.

On our third anniversary, the restaurant my wife, Selena Sander, and I frequent is reserved by her twisted first love, Shane Johnson. He tramples over the rose petals that are scattered all over the floor while making his way toward our table. Then, he slaps a pregnancy report onto the table. "Three years ago, I personally tattooed a rose on Selena's abdomen. I even made a vow with her, saying that she cannot give birth to your child until I find someone I love more than her." As Shane points at the name shown on the pregnancy report, he flashes me a cruel smile. "Now, I've found my true love. That's why I came to inform Selena that our vow can now be broken." The bitterness that I tasted from the countless contraceptives that I've taken over the past three years suddenly floods my mouth. I then turn to look at Selena. There's no trace of guilt shown on her expression despite having gotten exposed by Shane. Instead, she just looks at me coldly. "You heard him, right?" she utters. "We can have a child together now." At that moment, I feel like strangling her more than anything else in the world.

An orphan raised by the omegas of the pack, her mate took a chosen luna and left her pregnant. After she had lost everything, they threw her back out on the streets. The streets were where she came from in the first place. Every time a car passed, she would hurl herself into the streets. She yearned to die and be with her dear ones, but no one had ever stepped in to aid her. Will the moon goddess have mercy on her? What would happen if her true identity was discovered?

Warning: This book contains a lot of steamy scenes. Olivia has always crushed on her hot stepfather, when she is hired to be his personal assistant after she graduated from college; she falls heads over heels for him and stops at nothing to have him. Only if she knew that her quest for pleasure would result in severe consequences, ones she would never recover from. Note: If you make it past the first ten chapters, you won't drop it, I assure you.

If it was my sister being bullied, Mom and Dad would have believed her right away and fought for her without a second thought. However, it did not matter anymore. In my next life, I would pick parents who really cared about me.
