Three years ago, Aria Sinclair loved her billionaire husband Damien Cross with everything she had. In return, he destroyed her. Framed for infidelity by her own sister, Vanessa, Aria was publicly divorced, humiliated, and cast out with nothing, pregnant and alone. Now she’s back. Operating under the name Seraphina Kane, Aria has rebuilt herself as the CEO of a rival luxury empire. She’s powerful, untouchable, and unrecognizable. She returns to New York with one goal: to take everything from the people who took everything from her. But she didn’t plan on Damien falling desperately in love with her new identity. She didn’t plan on the old feelings resurfacing. And she definitely didn’t plan on him discovering that her two-year-old daughter has his eyes. As Vanessa schemes to expose Seraphina’s true identity, and Damien grows closer to a truth that could destroy them all, Aria must choose: complete her revenge, or risk her heart one more time for the man who shattered it.

Seven years I spent with Jason Shaw, but I never got a ring. Rather, all I received was an invitation to another person's wedding. That day, as a wedding planner, I was at the rehearsal, making last-minute adjustments. Looking up, I saw the man whom I waited every day to reply to my messages, walking down the aisle, arm in arm with another bride. "Her boyfriend had something urgent come up, so I'm filling in for him," he said, standing straight, his tone light, a small smile on his lips. But his eyes couldn't hide the hurt, like a child who lost his favorite toy. As if that wasn't enough, he told me to hand over my wedding plan. He patted me on the shoulder, saying sincerely, "There's no rush for us. We've got plenty of time. I promise I'll give you an even better wedding. Just help me out this time. It's not like I'm not going to marry you." He didn't know that I had revised the wedding plan hundreds of times, even counted and recounted the bouquets seven times. To me, it wasn't mere work—it was a dream I held for five long years. I didn't argue anymore, just quietly stepped aside. Later, I lay alone in a hospital bed, listening to the rain tapping against the window from outside. I counted each drop as the hours slipped through my fingers. Perhaps those who worked so hard to create happiness for others had lost the right to their own happiness.

Lydia is very, very good at her job. She has an uncanny ability to ask the right questions at the wrong time, and digging deep is exactly the skillset that makes her such a great journalist. When she digs a little too far into the life of Doctor Jared Huntington, exposing a background of extreme malpractice, she suddenly finds herself on the run and at the mercy of a private security firm, headed by the incredibly handsome-and dangerous- Ethan Daven. Spanning months and diving deep into a world of wealth and danger that she never imagined, this book follows Lydia’s journey as she fights to keep a low profile-and her sanity- in such close proximity to the most attractive and deadly man she’s ever met.

I stare at the email on my screen, unable to move my fingers. Tomorrow is our company's crucial product launch, and I just learn that the patent for the algorithm I spent three years developing is now filed under Matthew Ashford's new assistant, Sophie Bennett. I storm into Matthew's office to confront him. Sophie sits on his desk with her legs crossed, looking completely innocent. She claims that she filled out the form by mistake. "It's just a clerical error. The patent still belongs to the company. What's the big deal?" Matthew stands up from his chair, positioning himself in front of Sophie. I can't believe what I am hearing. "Matthew, this is my research!" "Emma, you're thirty-five. Why are you picking a fight with a twenty-three-year-old intern?" He frowns. Then, he turns to Sophie. "Starting tomorrow, you're the new CTO. Emma needs… some time off." I'm utterly stunned. A decade of marriage and five years dedicated to building a company together have been shattered by a few casual words from him. Thirty minutes later, Sophie posts a photo on social media of herself sitting on Matthew's lap. They are both clinking champagne glasses. "So lucky to have the best boss ever. I'll make sure to be his loyal kitten." Below that, Matthew leaves a comment—three red heart emojis. I shut my laptop and pick up my phone. "Hello. Is this Mr. David Langley from Novara Group of Sundale Valley? This is Emma Whitmore. I've changed my mind. I'm ready to join you." I pause. "And by the way, about that unreleased algorithm upgrade, I have the complete technical blueprint. Make me an offer." Later, I fly to Tallisport with an eight-figure check in hand, while Matthew goes frantic trying to find me.

I was a painter, but a car accident took my eyesight. When I was at my lowest, it was my childhood friend, Connor Pitt, who stayed by my side the whole time. He became the only light left in my life. Later, we got married. However, two years into our marriage, I accidentally discovered a recording on the computer. “Connor, thank you for saving me. But you hid the truth from Faye and took her corneas for me. When she wakes up, how are you going to explain it to her? What if she calls the police?” “She won’t find out the truth. I won’t let her. She’s blind anyway. I’ll marry her and keep her under my control, right by my side. June, for you, I’d do anything.” I was stunned, and a shiver ran down my spine. The salvation I thought I had found had been a lie from the very beginning. After sending a copy of the recording to my phone, I scheduled an abortion at the hospital. If that was the case, then it was time for us to go our separate ways.

“How do you face the man you destroyed to chase your dreams?” Fabian Montero Mordecai sacrificed everything for Khaleesi Mondragon, only to be abandoned when she chose fame over love. Now a global star, her perfect life is shaken when Fabian returns as her co-star, reigniting old passions and heartbreak. As their chemistry flares, Khaleesi faces a choice: risk the life she’s built for a second chance or lose the man she once betrayed. Can Fabian forgive, or is his return fueled by revenge?

After my son’s surgery, I stayed overnight at the hospital. While keeping watch, I scrolled through my phone and came across a post. [What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?] An anonymous user replied. [I used the senior who sponsored me as a stepping stone.] [My sponsor was rich and clueless. He paid for my entire college education, and after I graduated, I slept with his wife. She even had my child.] [The best part is that he treats my son like his own. He works himself to exhaustion just to set that kid up for life.] [By the way, his family just received three million from the relocation compensation. My lover will be here soon. She’ll pretend we need it for a school district apartment and trick him into giving it to us.] [Once the cash is in hand and the villa is bought, I’ll have my son acknowledge me as his real father and then throw my sponsor out of the house.] A blurry photo of a little boy was attached. My heart skipped a beat. On his wrist was the safety charm I had given my son. Just then, my wife pushed open the hospital room door. “Honey, Xeno is starting elementary school soon. Let’s take your mom’s compensation money from the relocation and use it to buy a place in a good school district.”

Mula sa isang "blended family," si Chantelle ay lumaking naiiba. Siya'y pinalaki nang may pagmamahal ng kanyang lola matapos mawala ang kanyang ina. Itinakwil siya ng kanyang amang si Gérard, na kontrolado ng bagong asawang si Rhonda, at napag-iwanan ng kanyang mababaw na kapatid na si Mégane. Natutunan niyang mabuhay sa katahimikan. Nang magkasakit nang malubha ang kanyang lola, isang diagnosis ang gumulo sa kanyang buhay. Walang suportang pamilya ni sapat na pera, tinanggap ni Chantelle ang isang hindi inaasahang alok: isang daang gabi kapalit ng isang milyong euro, kasama ang isang mayamang lalaking hindi niya malalaman ang pagkakakilanlan. Sa bawat pagkikita, nakasuot ng maskara ang lalaki, nananatiling tahimik, at hindi pinapayagang magsalita si Chantelle. Tanging mga anonymous na bank transfer at isang nakakalunod na pabango ang naiiwan niyang alaala. Isang araw, napilitan siya ng kanyang ama na dumalo sa isang family dinner. Doo'y nabigla siya nang makitang kasama ang nobyo ni Mégane: si Collen Wilkinson, ang malamig at hindi maabot na CEO ng malakas na kumpanyang pinapasukan niya bilang isang simpleng empleyado. Nang magkasalubong ang kanilang mga mata, nagulo siya. Isang detalye ang sumiklab sa kanyang isip: ang pabango nito. Iyon mismo ang pabango ng lalaking naka-maskara na kasama niya sa labindalawang gabi... at may natitira pang walumpu't walo. Ngayon, pumasok ito sa kanyang buhay sa liwanag ng araw, at kailangan niyang harapin ang katotohanang nagkukubli sa likod ng nakagugulong kontratang ito.

On my thirtieth birthday, Gideon Salton told me to meet him at city hall. He made sure I wore a wedding dress and brought my papers, hyping it up as a huge birthday surprise. But when I showed up, all dressed up, he turned to his trashy crew and laughed. "No way—she actually did it. Dress, docs, the whole thing. Pay up, fifty bucks each." Then he looked at me. "Come on, Madison. You didn't seriously fall for that?" I didn't answer. He smirked. "If you're that thirsty to get hitched, go inside and grab some rando to register with." His friends cracked up. They called me Gideon's loyal simp, his forever backup plan. Said I'd never end up with anyone else. But when I came out with my husband and a legit marriage certificate, Gideon just froze—pale, silent, wrecked.

Bound by fate, drawn to each other by a magic older than the gods, they fight a bond that threatens to consume them both.
