O With A Slash Through It

"Aku memang berbeda Han, tapi aku menginginkannya. Aku ingin mencintai meski dengan cara yang tak biasa. Kau tak harus mengerti, karena semua peristiwa akan bersaksi."

“Rule #1: Don’t fall for the roommate. Rule #2: Seriously, don’t fall for the roommate.” *** After an incident that shattered her confidence, Phoenix wants nothing more than to disappear. So, when her twin brother makes her a crazy, bizarre but deliciously sinful offer, she slips on a uniform and takes her place as his twin ‘brother’ at Harrison Park Academy — a chance to restart and feel in control, just until she feels okay again. But HPA has its own rules—and none of them account for bathroom phobias, shared dorms, or accidentally locking eyes with your ridiculously attractive new roommate. Justice is intense, loyal, and way too perceptive for her comfort. Worst of all? He’s the one person she can’t seem to avoid… or stop thinking about. He’s just irritating enough to make her blood boil. But he’s also kind in the quietest ways, and she’s falling, fast. Now Phoenix is navigating locker room close calls, midnight showers, secret crushes, late-night parties with their sister all-girls’ school across the lake and an escalating rivalry between the athletes and the academic elite. Her lies are stacking higher than her jump shots, and with each game, the stakes get heavier. Everyone thinks she’s just another boy chasing a spot on the team. But she’s playing for more than victory. She’s playing to feel like herself again. She’s playing to forget what happened last year. And if anyone finds out who she really is, it won’t just be her cover that’s blown— it’ll be her entire world. Phoenix is one step away from getting exposed. And when you’re living a lie? One wrong move is all it takes to lose the game. How long can she keep playing it straight?

He doesn't take no for an answer. And she's never said yes-until now. Arden Blake has built world on control. A high-powered event planner with a sharp tongue and tighter walls, she doesn't have time for complications-especially not ones wrapped in six feet of tattoos, arrogance, and pure sin. Enter Rhett Maddox- ex military, ex lover, and the man who walked away without a word five years ago. Now's he's back in town, cocky as ever, and owning the nightclub she's been forced to work with. The last thing she want is to play nice. But the way he looks at her? Like he remembers exactly how she sounded when she used to beg for it? Yeah That's dangerous. Rhett doesn't play games .He plays for keeps. And this time, he wants more than her body- he wants her surrender. Mind, mouth, and soul. But Arden doesn't beg anymore. Unless he makes her...

My husband and mother-in-law fell off the cliff in my past life. I was pregnant and fell into a coma. I could not take the blow and had a miscarriage. A few days later, the neighbors informed me that my child could not be saved and urged me to see him for the last time. The corpses of my husband and mother-in-law were nowhere to be found. A year later, our house was demolished. However, I accidentally consumed paraquat. I saw my husband and my mother-in-law when I was dying. "Finally, we got rid of you. My grandson and my daughter-in-law can finally marry." Next to my mother-in-law was Jessie Charles, the girl next door, and a little boy.

My father has chosen me to succeed him in the family business. But if I want the job, it comes with stipulations. And one of those stipulations is to never mix business with pleasure. AKA, don't sleep with anyone on the job. My father leads by example, and not once have I ever seen him get involved with anyone, not even his beautiful assistant. That was an easy rule to follow...until Axel. Axel is an expert distributor, someone who knows how to get our product past the ruthless regulations mandated by the government. My father has never had a partner, but he makes an exception for Axel because he's good at what he does. But the second our eyes meet...there's fire. He's by far the most handsome man I've ever seen, and his I couldn't care less attitude makes me weak. But I put up boundaries and reject his advances. But this man doesn't stop until he gets what he wants. One night together becomes the precursor to the most passionate affair of my life. If my father discovers our secret, it'll cost me my career...and it'll cost Axel his life. To make matters worse, I'm falling for this man...and I think he's falling for me too.

Após a formatura, eu passei um ano estagiando com meu mentor, um curandeiro, nas terras neutras sem alcateias, sem leis e sem ninguém para me proteger. Meu irmão, o Presidente Lycan de todos os lobisomens, quase enlouquece com isso. Ele está apavorado que eu me apaixone por algum lobo renegado e impulsivamente forme um vínculo de companheirismo imprudente. Sendo assim, ele seleciona a dedo um companheiro arranjado para mim. Falcon Sterling, o Alfa da alcateia mais forte em Northmere. Ele é bonito e perigoso, uma figura lendária. Meu irmão me ordena a voltar para casa para a cerimônia de acasalamento, então não tenho outra escolha senão ir escolher uma coroa de Luna. Na joalheria, meus olhos se fixam imediatamente em uma coroa coberta de diamantes. Assim que estendo a mão para pegá-la, uma voz feminina aguda interrompe: — Eu gosto da que ela está segurando, eu quero aquela, dê para mim. Antes que eu possa reagir, o balconista arranca a coroa das minhas mãos, quase arranhando a minha pele. Eu me endireito, tentando me manter calma: — Nunca ouviu falar em "quem chega primeiro é servido primeiro?" Eu vi primeiro. É assim que as coisas por aqui? A loba se vira lentamente para mim, me lançando um olhar longo e com ironia: — Essa coroa custa 300 mil dólares. Você tem certeza que consegue pagar, camponesa? Eu cresci com o Alfa da alcateia Lua Prateada, Falcon Sterling, Por aqui, eu é que faço as regras. Eu a encaro, quase rindo. Não é engraçado? Falcon calha de ser meu companheiro arranjado. Puxo meu celular e pressiono o botão de chamada: — Ei, Falcon. Sua adorável namoradinha de infância acabou de roubar a coroa de Luna que eu deveria usar na cerimônia de acasalamento. O que você acha que eu devo fazer a respeito disso?

My parents have always been biased against me, even as a child. They leave me in the countryside while raising my brother themselves. When I'm finally brought to live with them, they neglect me because they don't want my brother to be upset. When my brother says that I'm rude and falsely accuses me of getting people to assault him, my parents believe him without a shadow of doubt. And so, I'm sent to a residential treatment center.

— Doutor, já terminou o exame? Eu não aguento mais — digo enquanto estou deitada na maca da clínica da faculdade. Uma tela bloqueia completamente minha visão. O instrumento de exame entra alguns centímetros mais fundo em mim. Eu tento ao máximo me controlar, mas um gemido me escapa. — Não! O médico permaneceu em silêncio e apenas ajustou a máquina para que minhas pernas ficassem ainda mais erguidas.
