Calen was a benchwarmer on the university swim team, someone who never actually competed. The captain, Karl, was everything he wasn’t, a campus golden boy. Three records broken. A new girlfriend every other week. One night, Calen realized he’d left something behind and went back to the locker room. That was when he heard it. Ragged breathing. Strained, barely held back. And beneath it… the slow, awful sound of metal bending under pressure. He pushed the door open. Karl stood with his back to him. His bare muscles writhed beneath his skin, moving wrong, his spine standing out in sharp ridges. His fingers were dug deep into the steel locker, nails tearing through metal, leaving long, brutal gouges. The air was thick with the smell of blood… and something wild. Predatory. Karl snapped around. His eyes burned gold in the dark. Blood stained the corner of his mouth, and when he bared his teeth, the canines were far too long. Far too sharp. He ran. He barely took two steps before something crashed into him from behind, slamming him to the floor. Karl’s weight pinned him down, his body radiating heat… too hot, almost painful. A low voice brushed his ear. “You saw something you weren’t meant to see.” “I won’t say anything….” Karl lowered his head, his nose grazing his neck as he inhaled slowly, deeply. “…You smell fucking irresistible.”

"I can give you what you want, professor," I said, my gaze trained on him. He moved closer to me until my back hit the wall. Then his gaze dropped to my lips, his golden eyes taking on a crimson hue.

Love leads to madness. Killian Benjamin Archer watched it happen to his father after his cherished wife's death. But when his elderly father arranges to marry flame-haired golddigger, Skye Sinclair, Ben, as he is known to his friends, is compelled to take drastic measures to stop the stunning beauty from taking advantage of the old business mogul.

The arrangement will offer the protection she needs. Or so she believes until the billionaire's distractingly handsome son looks closer at the fine print of the contract… and takes his father's place ! Now, the easy, boring and, more importantly, secure union Skye planned, has been exchanged for one simmering with wicked temptation and potential heartbreak. Because as she begins to fall for her devilishly seductive husband, her dark secrets surface and threaten to ruin them both … unless Ben is willing to risk all and open his heart to love.

It has always been my father and me. He is a good man, but like everyone else, he makes mistakes. This time, the one he made has gotten him into a lot of trouble. He asked the wrong people for money, and now, they are threatening violence against not only him but me. He has only one choice: He needs to disappear until he can sort things out. I want to go with him, but he has other ideas. To protect me from the dangers he has put himself in, he leaves me with one person he knows he can trust. Ambrose Calloway. A man I know well, one who is ruthless and heartless. The last person I want to stay with, but when my father begs me, I can’t say no. I would rather stay with anyone else! He doesn’t want me around and only agrees because he owes my father a favour. Now, here I am, staying in a mansion with a man who hates me. The feeling is mutual. He promises my father that he will protect me until he comes back. People seem to fear Ambrose, but I have never understood why. What I don’t expect is that I would learn secrets about him that make me understand why no one messes with him. I wish I had realised from the start just how much danger I was in. I plan to make his life hell, but sometimes, when the tension and anger become too much, two people find other ways to take it out on one another that don’t involve arguments. I am not looking for a protector, but Ambrose becomes everything I didn’t know I needed. It still won’t make life any easier. Update Schedule- Wednesday and Friday

On the day of our wedding, my fiance Thomas Warsh was killed in a car accident on the way there. His adopted sister rushed toward me, clutching his ashes, accusing me of being a jinx who brought him misfortune. I was drowning in grief when a line of floating comments suddenly appeared before my eyes. [You must remain a widow for three years for your deceased husband. After three years, he will be reincarnated and return to love you again!] [Don’t ever remarry. Otherwise, the male lead will never rest in peace, and you will suffer for the rest of your life!] That was when I learned that my fiancé and I were the hero and heroine of a novel. Only by following the spoilers in the comments and completing the storyline could I reunite with him. I did not remarry. Guided by the comments, I remained a widow for three years, and then another three. However, it was not until I suddenly died from a severe illness that I discovered the truth–the comments had all been written by Thomas. He had faked his death, changed his appearance, married his adopted sister, and fed me endless empty promises so I would continue to slave away for the Warsh family. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day before the wedding.

"Welcome home, Xerxes." Iyan ang bating isinalubong ni Amara Mañago sa bagong dating na tagapagmana ng mga Castillejo. Pero imbes na yakap, isang nakakapaso at mapanuyang tingin ang natanggap niya. Dahil si Xerxes Castillejo—ang gwapo, rebelde, at bagong stepson niya—ay walang iba kundi ang ex-boyfriend na iniwan niya at dinurog ang puso tatlong taon na ang nakararaan. Napilitan si Amara na magpakasal sa ama ni Xerxes, ang bilyonaryong si Don Alfonso Castillejo, sa isang contract marriage para protektahan ang kumpanya at ang mana ni Xerxes mula sa mga gahaman nilang kamag-anak habang may sakit ang Don. Lihim ang kontrata. Sa mata ng mundo—at sa mata ni Xerxes—isa siyang gold digger na binebenta ang katawan para sa yaman. Desidido si Xerxes na gawing impyerno ang buhay ni Amara sa loob ng mansyon. Ang plano niya: akitin ito, paaminin na pera lang ang habol niya, at wasakin ito gaya ng ginawa nito sa kanya noon. Sa bawat gabing nagtatama ang kanilang landas sa madilim na pasilyo ng mansyon, tila isang laro ng apoy ang namamagitan sa kanila. "Kung kaya mong ibigay ang katawan mo sa isang matanda para sa pera," bulong ni Xerxes habang idinidiin si Amara sa pader, "Bakit hindi mo ibigay sa akin nang libre? Tutal... kabisado ko na ang bawat sulok nito." Hanggang kailan kayang panindigan ni Amara ang pagiging tapat na asawa ng ama, kung ang puso at katawan niya ay sumisigaw para sa anak nito?
