Book Two of the Dark Moon Series. Beta Jackson Anderson lives for his pack and family. They mean everything to him, but there is still a part of him that longs for his mate and feels unfulfilled each year that passes without finding her. He is definitely surprised when he finds her for two reasons. One, she is not a shifter. Two, she is running for her life. Imeela Precoza has been on the run for the past ten years because she escaped the massacre of her coven, the royal coven of the vampire world. Countless bounty hunters come after her, forcing her to either evade them or kill them before they kill her. She becomes a master of hiding, especially with the use of her abilities, but she wonders if this is how her life will always be – running, escaping, and surviving while being utterly alone in this world. Fate presents the perfect opportunity that will cause these mates' paths to converge. A man who wants nothing more than to protect and care for his mate, and a woman who is terrified of anyone else getting hurt because of her. It is the design of fate that takes everyone by surprise. Secrets from the past will come to light, showing the truth about why Imeela's coven was slaughtered in the first place. What does this have to do with the prophecy foretold in Book One regarding Brynn's destiny to slay a vile evil? Imeela is tired or running and decides it is time to fight back against a tyrant who has destroyed too much in her life. She is not alone any longer and has the help of a multitude of powerful individuals. Can Imeela and Jackson overcome the adversities in their path?

When rising interior designer Valeria Mendoza took a job as an executive assistant at Herrera & Sons, the last thing she expected was to accidentally marry her cold, infuriatingly handsome boss. After a chaotic mix-up with legal paperwork during a corporate event, Valeria finds herself legally bound to Alejandro Herrera, the guarded CEO who doesn’t believe in love but desperately needs a wife to close a multimillion-dollar deal. What starts as a reluctant agreement to "keep up appearances" quickly turns into a tangled web of stolen glances, sizzling tension, and midnight confessions. As the lines blur between fake and real, Valeria must hide the biggest secret of all — her true identity as the daughter of a billionaire family she left behind. But in a world where business and love don’t mix, what happens when the truth comes out? Will Alejandro see her as a liar... or the woman he’s been designing a future with all along?

After my parents died in a car crash, my cousin stole the compensation money and moved overseas to start a business. My aunt begged me on her knees not to call the police. Then, she locked me in a dark basement for three months. I was close to breaking down and ending my life when Julien Lawson, the neighbor’s son, broke down the basement door and saved me. “Joyce, what they did is unforgivable! They stole the compensation money for your parents’ deaths. You were going to use it to open your own studio! “Marry me. I’ll protect you.” He was the only person who cared about me after my parents died. I was so grateful that I married him and had his child. I worked three jobs during the day to help support the orphanage that Julien ran. At night, I took care of our child and created design sketches. But no matter how hard I tried, none of my work was ever accepted. Even though Julien told me to keep at it, I felt discouraged and thought of giving up on my design career to focus on our family. One day, our child was sick. I went to take over the shift from Julien when I overheard him talking to my aunt on the stairs. “Julien, it’s been ten years. Joyce’s designs are getting better and better. She even passed the first round of the national competition. Are you really not going to tell her about the next round?” my aunt asked. Her voice trembled. Julien said coldly, “For years, I’ve been sending Joyce’s design sketches to Mindy to copy and enter in the competitions or publish as her own. “To help Mindy’s career, I can’t let Joyce move on to the next round. “Joyce has talent. If people notice her, she’ll be a threat to Mindy’s career!”

Sa Charlie Wade ay ang manugang na nakatira sa bahay ng kanyang asawa na kinamumuhian ng lahat, ngunit ang kanyang tunay na pagkatao bilang tagapagmana ng isang makapangyarihang pamilya ay nanatiling isang lihim.

Sa loob ng mahigit kalahating dekada, tiniis ni Trixie ang malamig na pakikitungo ni Sebastian sa kaniya. Naniniwala kasi siyang kung mananatili siya sa tabi nito, maaaring matunaw rin ng pagmamahal niya ang nagyeyelong puso ng lalaki. At kung maaari... ay babalik na dito ang pagmamahal sa kaniyang tila nakalimutan na. But her patience was rewarded not with love—but betrayal and manipulation. Sebastian fell in love with another woman at first sight. Much worse? It's her half-sister that stole her husband. Binusog ng lalaki ng pagmamahal at kalinga ang babae na hindi na niya naibigay kay Trixie matapos ang gabing iyon. Hanggang sa dumating ang araw na naubos na ang pag-asa niya. Ang araw kung saan nakita ni Trixie kung paanong matagal na palang wala sa kaniya ang kaniyang sariling mag-ama. Doon na siya sumuko. Pinirmahan ang divorce papers, iniwan ang bahay nilang mag-asawa, isinuko ang karapatan sa anak, at kinalimutan ang pag-ibig na tila nilumot na ng panahon.  But suddenly, there's a sudden turn of events. Ang asawang inabandona siya noon, ngayon ay lagi nang nasa tabi niya. And when she demands a divorce?  He corners her and whispers, "Divorce? That would be impossible, Wife.”

"Anong dahilan ito ng pakikipaghiwalay mo?" tanong ni Zeus kay Maureen, "hindi kita mapaligaya sa kama? anong kalokohan ito?" "Totoo naman, hindi mo ako mapaligaya sa kama. Uuwi ka ng bahay, matapos ang ilang linggo mong pagkawala, tapos, lalayasan mo ulit ako pagkatapos. Kaya tama yang nababasa mo, hindi mo nameet ang standards na gusto ko!" sagot ni Maureen sa lalaki. "Talaga ba? Ilan ang gusto mo? makapito tayo sa isang gabi? Sige, humanda ka sa akin pag uwi---" hindi na nito naituloy ang sinasabi dahil agad niya itong sinagot. "Sino namang may sabing uuwian pa kita? ano ako, baliw?" kaagad pinutol ni Maureen ang tawag na iyon. Alam niyang galit na galit ito sa kanya. Subalit pagod na siyang habulin ang lalaki, gayong ang trato nito sa kanya ay isang basura! Tapos na ang pagiging masunurin niyang asawa. Sinayang lang nito ang pagmamahal niya. Paglipas ng panahon, naging isa siyang successful na fashion designer. Napapalibutan na siya ng mga bata at gwapong kalalakihan. Madalas niyang nakakasalamuha sa mga events ang dati niyang asawa. Minsan, kinorner siya nito sa sulok saka hinalikan. "Maureen, mahalin mo ulit ako, please.." pakiusap nito. "Gaya ng dati. Handa akong magpaalipin sayo, balikan mo lang ako."

Nagpakasal si Cordelia Jenner sa isang sanggano kapalit ng kapatid niya at namuhay siya ng mahirap habangbihay… O 'di nga ba? Sa isang iglap, ang asawa niya ay naging isang lihim na bilyonaryo na may taglay na kapangyarihan at impluwensya… Imposible 'yun! Tumakbo si Cordelia pabalik sa kanilang munting bahay at papunta sa mga bisig ng kanyang asawa. "Sinasabi nila na ikaw daw si Mr. Hamerton. Totoo ba 'yun?" Hinaplos ng lalaki ang kanyang buhok. "Kamukha ko lang yung lalaking 'yun." Sumimangot si Cordelia. "Nakakainis yung lalaking 'yun. Pinipilit niya na ako ang asawa niya. Bugbugin mo siya!" Kinabukasan, ang Mr. Hamerton na 'yun ay ngumiti at nagpakita sa publiko—bugbog at sugatan. "Mr. Hamerton, anong nangyari?" Ngumisi ang lalaki. "Nagkatotoo ang hiling ng asawa ko. Kailangan kong pangatawanan 'to."
