Sabotage Shantel Tessier Audiobook

After I join a new company, I keep running into problems—not from people, but from the company's equipment. The fingerprint scanner fails to recognize me every single time, and I have to submit a manual attendance appeal almost daily. When I ask the admin to change the device, they respond with thinly veiled sarcasm. "Everyone else clocks in just fine. Why are you the only one with so many issues?" The air vent above my desk blasts cold air directly at me. My hands and feet are freezing every day. I ask to switch seats. My manager looks at me like I am making things up. "Everyone else sits there without a problem. How come the AC only blows cold air when you sit there?" One strange incident after another makes it impossible for me to function at work. When I get home, I complain to my boyfriend and say I want to quit. He shuts down the thought immediately. "You're making almost 60 thousand dollars a year before benefits, with weekends off and paid leave. Where are you going to find a job like that?" I think about it and realize he isn't wrong. Just as I decide to stick it out, the company elevator malfunctions. I fall from the 33rd floor and die. In my final moments, I can't understand it—why does every piece of equipment in the company seem to target me alone? All the devices are newly installed. All my coworkers are people I have just met. I have no grudges with anyone. There's no reason for someone to sabotage me from behind the scenes. When I open my eyes again, I am back at the company. It's my very first day on the job.

Over five years I’ve lived a bittersweet lie as David Hargrove’s kept woman, Maria Bell. David’s shown no interest in me beyond what he wants. Love’s a bitter pill to love when it's not returned. I'm bought and paid for. Kept in a gilded cage. David suspects nothing of the secrets I hold. Tonight, David announced he’s marrying my stepsister. He doesn’t know. The level of betrayal I’ve experienced is unbelievable. Everything becomes complicated as the lies surface. Leaving and facing it alone are my only choices. I’m living in fear as I pick up pieces of a life, I believed lost. Blackmail, sabotage, and intrigue dog my steps. I don’t know who I can trust or how to win. I won’t surrender without a fight this time. They don’t recognize me. They won’t see me coming. My name is David Hargrove, and someone is trying to destroy my family. I must marry my rival’s daughter. His stepdaughter signed the contract. Before we learned, she couldn’t deliver the Belgrave empire to me. She can help me secure my family’s empire as my fiancée. I need the ugly biological daughter, Maria Belgrave, who’s hiding. Things get confusing. Maria Belgrave sent two women to represent her. One is my Maria. My missing woman. The betrayal and conflict of interest still stand. I will say when our contract has ended. How can I work with her? I know nothing about her. She owes me answers and loyalty. Perhaps I’ll use this to my advantage. When David learns of Maria’s past life. Will he help her? Or use her and take over the business himself? It starts with an engagement and the death of a patriarch.

Three years ago, Moon-Lake Pack — once a proud member of Lupus Celestial, the central pack alliance — lost everything in a brutal defeat to the Rogue Packs that had long plagued us. The Lycan King believed my father — the Alpha of Moon-Lake — had conspired with the Rogues, and our pack paid the price. My father and I were enslaved and cast out, becoming the laughingstock of all the packs. Even my mate, Chase, turned his back on me. But three years later, I was sent back to Lupus Celestial by Chase’s order — just as he was preparing to bond with his future Luna. Everyone assumed I had returned to sabotage the ceremony. “Taryn, do you still think you stand a chance of becoming his Luna?” “Chase never liked you. He’s always adored Wynette.” “Why would you show up now — just before he bonds with his mate?” Warnings, veiled threats, and even silent beatings made one thing painfully clear: I was not welcome. And Chase — the one I had once believed was my fated mate, the one I’d felt an unexplainable pull toward — stood by, cold and detached, watching it all in silence. His eyes held nothing but loathing. “You still think you can live freely outside Lupus Celestial after betraying us time and again? What exactly are you plotting at my bonding ceremony?” I let out a bitter laugh and wiped the blood from my lips. He didn’t know my wolf had been gravely wounded by a silver dagger — and I didn’t have much time left. “Don’t worry. If I hadn’t been dragged back, I’d never have returned. And if I truly wanted to cause trouble, I’d have killed myself first.” Chase didn’t respond. He just scoffed. But when I walked away — from his pack, from his world — he was the one who crumbled. He begged me to return, as if losing me shattered something deep inside him.

Trois histoires en une seule. Bienvenues dans l'univers électrique des sœurs Warner : Sutton, Blair et Keira. Au lit avec son connard de patron — Lorsqu'elle est rentrée chez elle et qu'elle a découvert son fiancé dans son propre lit avec sa cousine Laura, Blair a senti le sol se dérober sous ses pieds. Malgré le choc, elle a refusé de se laisser abattre. Elle était une femme forte et capable, et elle le savait. Ce qu'elle n'avait pas prévu, c'était cette nuit où, après avoir trop bu pour oublier l'humiliation, elle a fini par coucher avec Roman, son patron. Cette nuit-là, il lui a montré des choses qu'elle n'avait jamais connues et qu'elle n'aurait même pas imaginé pouvoir apprécier. Au matin, lucide et encore secouée, Blair a simplement voulu s'éloigner et réduire tout cela à une aventure sans lendemain. Mais Roman avait d'autres projets. Il ne la voulait pas pour une seule nuit, il la voulait. La maîtresse en fuite du PDG — Le mannequin « Audrey » a découvert qu'elle était enceinte du milliardaire Luca De Santis. Terrifiée, elle ne savait pas comment lui annoncer la nouvelle. Leur liaison durait depuis onze mois. Elle était passionnée, certes, mais sans engagement. Avant qu'elle ne trouve le bon moment pour lui parler, Luca a brutalement mis fin à leur histoire, en révélant ses fiançailles avec une héritière adolescente. Lorsqu'Audrey lui a annoncé sa grossesse, il l'a accusée cruellement de vouloir le piéger. Brisée et complètement seule, Audrey a disparu et est retournée à sa véritable identité : Sutton Warner. Des mois plus tard, un hasard du destin les a réunis de nouveau, lorsque Luca a acquis l'entreprise technologique où Sutton travaillait. En la revoyant, il a été frappé par la vérité : non seulement elle portait son enfant, mais « Audrey » n'avait jamais existé. Sutton était une programmeuse talentueuse, une femme dont l'intelligence était aussi remarquable que sa beauté. Alors qu'un sabotage industriel menaçait de détruire tout ce qu'ils avaient construit, Luca et Sutton ont dû affronter leur passé compliqué tout en luttant contre une attirance qui brûlait toujours entre eux. Pourtant, le rejet cruel de Luca continuait de hanter Sutton, et l'indépendance farouche de celle-ci demeurait essentielle. La question restait entière : Luca parviendrait-il à regagner sa confiance et à offrir à leur famille une seconde chance avant qu'il ne soit trop tard ?
