SECOND CHANCES AT SUNRISE Years ago, Yara and Jamal were young, in love, and certain about forever—until life pulled them apart. Their relationship didn’t end in chaos, but in painful silence. Jamal, determined to build an empire, chose ambition when fear whispered that love would slow him down. Yara, brilliant and proud, walked away without demanding the closure her heart quietly begged for. Now, Jamal Adeyemi is a confident and charismatic CEO—one who commands industries, decisions, and attention. Success follows him everywhere, yet something essential has always felt missing. Yara, now a celebrated designer, has built her own creative world with warmth, resilience, and independence. Her heart didn’t turn cold—it simply learned caution. Fate reunites them over cinnamon-flushed coffee in Lagos. The spark remains, but neither believes that old love guarantees a new beginning. This time, Jamal does not rush or assume. He shows up—with patience, sincerity, steady action, and emotional wisdom he once lacked. Lunch dates lead to long conversations, honest moments, and a healing coastal getaway where past wounds finally find voice. But second chances demand more than nostalgia—they require trust rebuilt, fears confronted, and love proven through presence and honesty. In rediscovering each other, Jamal and Yara learn that the safest kind of forever isn’t loud—it arrives like sunrise: Soft. Steady. Certain. Earned.

“All this time, I was just a mere substitute to you? A replacement for someone you lost?” “It’s not that simple, Sheila. I—” “Don’t! I trusted you. Every embrace, every word, the heartfelt feelings—it was all for her, wasn’t it? Did you ever love me, Andrew? Did you ever feel something for me? Tell me!”  “Sheila, I……Sorry……” ********************* Sheila found out her boyfriend cheated on her and then lost her . Just when she thought things couldn't get worse, she realizes how naive she still was. Her father and stepmother, her so-called family, forced her to marry a stranger, and treated her like a bargain item at a mall sale. On the other hand, Andrew's father tried to pressure him into an engagement by threatening his inheritance. Andrew felt a sense of powerlessness as well as amusement, as he didn't care about the inheritance; he had already made a name for himself as a successful and feared business magnate. But when he saw Sheila's smiling face, Andrew's blood froze for a moment, and his eyes were filled with shock, doubt, nostalgia, and a hint of tenderness that he hadn't even noticed. He thought that maybe this was a chance given to him by fate, and this time he had to grab it no matter what, but he didn't know how the decision he made at this moment would change his life.

In the heart of Cedar Grove, shadows conceal more than secrets— they whisper truths. Dr. Isla Rivers never thought she'd return to her small hometown, let alone to the clinic her father built. But after his mysterious disappearance, Isla steps into his shoes, seeking solace among furry patients and the echoes of a life she left behind. The quiet town holds more than nostalgia, though. Strange sounds haunt her clinic, shadows stretch unnaturally, and whispers from her childhood dreams beckon her toward the unknown. When a journal marked with her father’s enigmatic crescent moon symbol appears, Isla is thrust into a world she never imagined—one where werewolves roam the woods, a prophecy threatens to unravel reality, and her own bloodline holds a secret more powerful than she’s ready to face. Guided by a cryptic stranger named Astra and an unwelcome connection to Luca Moreau, the brooding alpha of the local pack, Isla must confront the truth about her father’s disappearance, her heritage, and the prophecy that ties her fate to the Crescent Moon pack. But as passions ignite and dangers close in, Isla must decide who to trust and what sacrifices she’s willing to make—for love, for family, and for the truth that could reshape both the human and werewolf worlds forever. Welcome to Cedar Grove. The wolves are waiting.

Dos semanas antes de la boda, Nelson decidió posponerla una vez más. —Ivana inaugura su primera exposición de arte ese día —me dijo—. Estará sola y nerviosa. Tengo que estar ahí para apoyarla. Al final, tú y yo ya estamos juntos, ¿qué más da casarnos un día antes o después? Pero ya era la tercera vez que aplazaba nuestra boda por aquella mujer. La primera, Ivana acababa de operarse y sentía nostalgia de la comida de su tierra, por lo que Nelson no dudó en viajar al extranjero y quedarse con ella durante dos meses. La segunda, Ivana decidió irse al bosque en busca de inspiración para pintar y él, preocupado por su seguridad, fue tras ella. Esta era la tercera. Colgué la llamada y miré a César, mi amigo de toda la vida, quien se encontraba sentado frente a mí, relajado, jugando con su bastón de esmeralda, cuyo golpeteo en el piso de mármol rompía el silencio entre nosotros. —¿Todavía necesitas esposa? —le pregunté, sonriendo con picardía. El día de mi boda, Ivana sonreía radiante, copa en mano, esperando el brindis del hombre a su lado. Pero él, con los ojos rojos, observaba en silencio la transmisión en vivo de la boda del heredero del Grupo Santos, el imperio inmobiliario más grande del país.

They called him Father. She called him forbidden. Ayana Marcus thought coming home for Christmas would be simple—a few weeks of family dinners, church services, and small-town nostalgia before returning to her real life in Boston. She didn't expect him. Father Nelson has been her father's best friend for two decades. A priest. A pillar of their tight-knit community. A man who's supposed to be untouchable, unshakeable, holy. But when Ayana returns after four years away—no longer the sheltered girl who left, but a woman who knows her own mind—everything changes. One look across her family's dinner table, and she sees it: the way his dark eyes linger a second too long, the tension in his jaw when she speaks, the white-knuckled grip on his glass when she laughs. Father Nelson isn't just her father's friend anymore. He's a man on the edge of breaking. One stolen kiss beneath the mistletoe shatters two decades of self-control. What begins as a single moment of weakness spirals into a secret affair that threatens to destroy everything—his priesthood, her family, their souls. He tells himself he's corrupting her. She knows she's awakening him. In the cold December nights, between whispered prayers and desperate touches, they discover that some sins taste like salvation. That the line between worship and desire is thinner than either imagined. That love—even forbidden, impossible, unholy love—can be the most sacred thing of all. But in a town where secrets don't stay buried and the church sees everything, their passion will cost them more than they ever imagined. He's twice her age. Her father's best friend. A man of God. She's everything he's denied himself for twenty years. And this December, they'll learn that some gifts are too dangerous to unwrap… But impossible to resist.

Après trois ans de mariage, Ariane Lenoir a découvert que son certificat de mariage avec Bastien Sorel n'était qu'un faux. La véritable « Madame Sorel » n'est autre que sa meilleure amie, Noémie Vallon. Pendant trois ans, Bastien et toute sa famille l'avaient traitée comme une dupe. La raison ? Une terrible accident, celui-là même où elle avait failli perdre la vie pour sauver Bastien, l'avait privée à jamais de la possibilité d'enfanter. Et quand elle demandait pourquoi : Bastien : « Je t'aime. Je voulais juste un enfant. » Noémie : « Je ne veux pas vous séparer, je veux juste faire partie de votre vie à deux. » Ariane : « Vous êtes complètement malades ! » ... Ils voulaient jouer ce jeu pervers ? Parfait. Ariane allait désormais mener la partie. Ils lui avaient volé son avenir ? Elle a épousé l'héritier et est devenue leur cliente. Ils lui avait refusé un vrai mariage ? Sa nouvelle belle-famille lui a offert un cérémonie somptueuse à plusieurs centaines de millions. Ils la croyaient stérile, une femme incompétente ? Elle attendait désormais des jumeaux, et savoura à l'avance leur rage impuissante. ... La nouvelle du mariage de l'héritier s'était répandue comme une traînée de poudre, et tout le monde semblait plaindre sa nouvelle épouse. Dans les salons chuchotait-on qu'il gardait au cœur une « femme de sa vie », un premier amour inoubliée, même après son propre mariage. Certains assuraient, qu'il avait frôlé l'irréparable le jour où elle avait dit « oui » à un autre. D'autres juraient l'avoir surpris, les yeux embués devant les films où elle jouait, qu'il revisionnait inlassablement. Alors, quand après la naissance des jumeaux, Ariane, feignant la résignation, a murmuré qu'elle « devait les réunir, lui et son grand amour », il l'a serrée férocement contre lui, paniqué. « C'est quoi ces conneries ? Mon cœur, tu DOIS me croire ! »

Amara, haletante et presque au bord de la rupture, elle murmura : — Valerio... je… putain, je ne peux pas... c’est... trop... Alors que je murmurais ces mots, le souffle coupé, il m'attrapa fermement les poignets, me forçant à les maintenir derrière mon dos. Sans hésiter, il continua de me pénétrer avec une intensité implacable, me consumant totalement dans cette étreinte brûlante qui semblait n’avoir aucune fin. — Ma douce, tu es tellement parfaite pour moi, tu le sais ? Tu vas jouir pour moi, amore ? me murmura-t-il avec une voix basse et rauque, tout en laissant sa main descendre doucement pour stimuler mon clitoris. Mes gémissements étouffés se perdaient dans l’oreiller. Il relâche mes poignets pour saisir mes cheveux, s’approchant pour me chuchoter à l’oreille : — Crie pour moi, Amara. Fais savoir à ton fiancé à quel point je te fais du bien dans son propre lit. Et c’est exactement ce que je fais. ------ **Amara Wilson** Je suis une jeune femme de 22 ans marquée par un passé douloureux.
