Secure Contain Protect

By day, he's Chicago's most powerful billionaire. By night, he's the city's most dangerous protector. Elena Moretti has spent years fighting for the forgotten—rescuing at-risk youth from the violence that claimed her brother's life. She doesn't trust wealth, power, or the men who wield them. So when enigmatic billionaire Dante Salvatore walks into her struggling community center with a check that could change everything, she knows there's a catch. Men like him don't save neighborhoods out of the goodness of their hearts. But Elena doesn't know Dante's secret: by night, he becomes The Sentinel, a masked vigilante dismantling the criminal empire that murdered his sister. As their worlds collide and attraction ignites between them, Elena begins investigating the vigilante whose methods both terrify and fascinate her—never suspecting the man she's falling for and the man she's hunting are one and the same. When a ruthless crime syndicate discovers The Sentinel's identity, Elena becomes the bait in a deadly trap. Dante must risk everything to save her, but when Elena uncovers the truth about the man behind the mask, she's forced to decide: Can she love someone who lives in shadows? And can a man who's spent years seeking vengeance ever truly step into the light? In a pulse-pounding tale of passion, danger, and redemption, two wounded souls discover that the most dangerous risk isn't fighting for justice—it's fighting for love.

Book One: Protecting My Mafia Princess "I promise you if Trinity gives me the slip, then I am pinning her to a tree." Just thinking of her sends shivers up my spine and belief me that they're not the good shivering kind. I love a beautiful woman in my bed and to look at. To be surrounded by ugly for almost a full day is seriously going to put a damper on my ego. But time to push that thought to the side, for our location has just come up on the right. We slowly cruise up the driveway… But as we step through the doorway… And we turn the corner… There is a tall brunette in what could possibly be the tightest dress I have ever seen. But what strikes me the most is her long slender legs that are held up by deep blood red stilettos. Her long locks of hair fall like waterfalls over her shoulders.

How far will he go to get what he desires the most?

J'ai fui ce monde. Mais un coup de fil m'a ramenée… aux motos, au sang, et à lui. Kendrick. Le bras droit de mon frère. Froid, balafré, mortel. L'homme que je n'aurais jamais dû désirer… mais celui qui me faisait vibrer à chaque fois qu'il me regardait. Il m'a plaquée au sol d'une main, sa voix un grognement sourd. « Tu te crois en sécurité, petite ? Le seul endroit où tu seras jamais en sécurité, c'est sur ma bite. Je vais te baiser si fort que tes cris résonneront dans la chambre de ton frère. » Je sais que je devrais le repousser. Je devrais lutter. Mais quand ses doigts se sont refermés sur ma gorge, que sa bouche a pris la mienne et que sa bite s'est frottée contre moi, je n'ai rien pu faire d'autre que gémir comme une chienne pour en avoir plus.

Ayla, my wife had just returned home from a business trip when I received a call from the hotel she had booked there. The hotel receptionist sounded a little embarrassed as she explained, “Hello, is this Ms. Jewell’s husband? I’m calling from the front desk. I see that we forgot to bill you for some incidentals. It looks like your room used all eighteen condoms from the amenity kit. I apologize for the oversight. The total comes to 35 dollars. Can I get a card number over the phone to close that out for you?” My mind went completely blank. Hadn’t my wife gone on that business trip on her own? Why would she have used condoms? Suppressing my inner turmoil, I gave Ayla a call. “Honey, the hotel just called. They said there was a little issue with your room. They asked me if you had someone staying over with you?” She sounded clearly exhausted as she replied with a weak voice, “Oh, right. A lady couldn’t find a hotel room, so she crashed with me for the night.” I chuckled and asked her to rest. After hanging up, I drove directly to the hotel. “35 dollars, right? I’ll pay it in person.”

After always doing the right thing and setting the proper example for her sisters, Elena  has now decided that enough is enough and has ended her relationship with her cheating fiancé. After confronting Ramsey at the airport as he was travelling  with Catalina, his personal assistant, she informed him that the relationship is no longer going to work. She wakes up not remembering the night before or why she is in her pants in a strange man's bed with no memories of the night before. Ramsey, of course, believes that she would simply fall back in line, but this time she is not. After a brief journey to San Luis, she wakes up not remembering the night before. In the instance of Elena, it was a matter of crawling away from the situation, but it appears like running away is the best alternative. The events that take place after that are a fast-paced, action-packed adventure, as well as the learning of a mysterious and accidental  marriage. It was not Justine’s intention to fall in love; the only thing that mattered to him was locating the girl he considered to be his younger sister, Thessy, and putting his aunt's mind at ease. Elena was not someone he had any intention of crossing paths with. After witnessing her humiliating descent from his penthouse apartment and coming to the realisation that he had been drugged, he was under the impression that she was working with the individual whom he considers to be responsible for Thessy's disappearance. However, as snippets from the previous night gradually manifest themselves and a marriage certificate is brought to light, he finds himself with a wife he never anticipated, and he finds himself suddenly experiencing feelings and love for her.

Mapanganib ang trabaho ni Charinda Delos Reyes. Isa siyang agent sa isang government agency. Sa klase ng trabaho niya, natural lang na palaging nakabuntot si Kamatayan.

Plus the fact that she hated his guts. Magtagumpay kaya siyang ipagtanggol ang buhay nito? Kung sa simula pa lang ay hindi na niya gusto ang pagiging antipatiko nito?

Elara lived a life of quiet suffering, an omega within a pack that scorned her as "broken" and treated her as a servant. Her adoptive parents exploited her, and her fated mate, Alpha Valerius, publicly rejected her for the manipulative, silver-tongued Beta, Lyra. But the truth was a venomous lie. On the day of her pack's moon festival, humiliated and cast out, Elara's dormant bloodline awakened. ​Suddenly, four powerful Alpha brothers descended, claiming her as their long-lost sister the true heir to the formidable Obsidian Pack, a lineage thought extinct. The eldest, a stoic and terrifying Alpha, vows vengeance. The second, a brilliant healer, meticulously unwraps the years of neglect and abuse. The third, a master of shadows, begins dismantling Lyra and Valerius carefully constructed deceit. And the fourth, a spirited warrior, teaches Elara to embrace her true, unique wolf, a power far beyond anything her tormentors could comprehend. ​From the ashes of rejection, Elara rises, shedding her past as the weakest omega to become the cherished, formidable Luna-in-waiting. When Alpha Valerius comes crawling back, begging for a second chance, he'll find not the timid girl he cast aside, but a queen guarded by four Alphas, ready to unleash a reckoning that will shake the very foundations of the shifter world.

Sophia I have been cast from my pack, the alpha made his advances on me and I rejected them. My parents stayed. They chose the Alpha who tried to take what I didn't want to give from me. They are now dead to me. It really doesn't matter now. Sure, I could go live among the humans, but what could they have to offer me? Sigmund I left my pack years ago when I saw the corruption within. I am a lone wolf by choice, and an Alpha by birth. The fact that I walked away when I saw the corruption coming for me, should tell you how much I really tried to save it. The pack was trying to become a dirty pack. Well, they got what they wanted. I refuse to go lead them. What I will do, if I ever find a good group of loners, is lead them in a fight against the corrupt packs leading the world today. If only I could find any other loners out here...

Considered barren and useless. Savannah's sacrifice in a marriage that never favored her ended when she overheard a conversation that her beloved husband was planning to have a child with a maid who was his mistress. Not wanting her life to be controlled, she returned to her pack and started a new life by hiding her pregnancy. An old friend who had once disappointed her emerged as the only man who truly loved her. Cillian, her best friend who had always been there for her. He had once sworn he would never take a mate if it wasn't his best friend. When her ex-husband wanted her back, Cillian, the most powerful Alpha, was ready to always be her protector. "I doesn't want any mate, but you, Savannah."

She thought marrying the city’s most dazzling billionaire CEO would give her happiness. Instead, she was met with cold indifference, mockery from his relatives, and nights spent alone in an empty marriage. When he shamelessly brought his first love into their home, her patience shattered. With trembling hands but unwavering resolve, she threw the divorce papers on his desk. “You’ll regret this,” he warned with a cruel sneer. But she didn’t look back. Just when the world thought she had lost everything, a shocking truth unraveled—she wasn’t ordinary at all. She was the long-lost daughter of a powerful dynasty. Her eldest brother, a business tycoon, showered her with billions in shares. Her second brother, a ruthless lawyer, stripped her ex-husband of everything. Her third brother, a superstar adored worldwide, declared to the media, “This is my one and only sister.” From ashes, she rose into a queen no one dared touch. Her glow lit up the world, and every man who once scorned her could only watch in regret. When her ex-husband finally came crawling back, begging for one more chance, her brothers only sneered— “Dream on. A man like you isn’t even worthy to stand in her shadow.”
