Billionaire CEO Killian Blackwood was looking for the perfect genes. He offered a massive reward for a surrogate mother. Ten billion dollars for a baby. But the 77 women before me had all vanished. Drowning in debt, I had no choice. I gritted my teeth and became number 78. I carried his child for ten months. I gave birth. And I didn't disappear. But as I reached for my baby, ready for my ten billion dollars, I burst into tears of terror. My newborn wasn't human. It was a litter of three wolf pups.

El CEO multimillonario Killian Blackwood estaba buscando los genes perfectos. Ofreció una recompensa masiva por una madre sustituta. Diez mil millones de dólares por un bebé. Pero las 77 mujeres antes que yo habían desaparecido sin dejar rastro. Ahogada en deudas, no tuve otra opción. Apreté los dientes y me convertí en la número 78. Cargué a su bebé durante diez meses. Di a luz. Y no desaparecí. Pero cuando extendí la mano hacia mi bebé, lista para recibir mis diez mil millones de dólares, estallé en lágrimas de terror. Mi recién nacido no era humano. Era una camada de tres cachorros de lobo.

On my wedding day, my fiancé bailed. Sabina—his ex—had sent him a diary listing 77 things she'd done for him. Turns out she only dumped him because his family pushed her to. So, he ran back to her. While I was still reeling, Jacob—my fiancé's best friend—showed up. He got down on one knee, flashed a ring he'd clearly had ready, and said, "Yuna Auclair, I've liked you for a long time. Will you marry me?" I thought he was my person. But after the wedding, Jacob turned distant. Hot one second, ice-cold the next. Then I found a diary in his study. Just like the one Sabina had sent my ex. Page one hit like a truck: [Hurt Yuna Auclair seventy-seven times, and I'll break up with Gabriel and be with you.] Oh—and Gabriel? He was my ex.

O CEO bilionário Killian Blackwood estava em busca dos genes perfeitos. Ele ofereceu uma recompensa gigantesca por uma barriga de aluguel. Dez bilhões de dólares por um bebê. Mas as 77 mulheres antes de mim haviam todas desaparecido. Afogada em dívidas, eu não tive escolha. Cerrei os dentes e me tornei a número 78. Carreguei o filho dele por dez meses. Dei à luz. E não desapareci. Mas quando estendi a mão para o meu bebê, pronta para receber meus dez bilhões de dólares, explodi em lágrimas de terror. Meu recém-nascido não era humano. Era uma ninhada de três filhotes de lobo.

Asya is the most promising ballerina the Royal Ballet has seen in years. Wildly ambitious, back-breakingly disciplined, and immensely driven, she has only one objective: prima ballerina. There is nothing she won't do to earn this once-in-a-generation title. But behind her ballerina grace she hides dark secrets of an inhumanly strict mother, pushing her body to cruel limits, and serial hookups with male dancers. Roman Zharnov is the star of the Russian ballet: young, successful, arrogant, beautiful, and worst of all, talented. He's come to London for a fresh start after earning himself the nickname 'the bad boy of ballet'. It is during a rehearsal that his eye falls on Asya, a nineteen-year-old soloist with spitfire in her eyes and a raw talent capable of silencing an auditorium. But Asya has a partner, and she wants to stay as far away as possible from the Russian prodigy with a reputation that won't seem to leave him alone. In the competitive world of classical ballet Asya is climbing the ranks, earning coveted parts and building a name for herself as a promising soloist. But all the while she is playing a dangerous game behind the curtain. Roman has found the one ballerina that can keep up with him and wants her to partner him, but he will soon realise that animals can't do what she does.

Enam tahun lalu, dengan harga diri dan keteguhan hatinya, Claire Sullivan berhasil menaklukkan primadona Universitas Mandala, Edmund Harrington. Namun ia justru jadi sasaran hujatan, perempuan matre, pemburu harta, naik status lewat tubuh... Fitnah setajam pisau, ia menahannya demi cinta. Hingga suatu hari ia dituduh mencuri perhiasan Keluarga Harrington. Satu pertanyaan dingin dari Edmund menghancurkan seluruh harga dirinya. "Kalau tak punya uang, kenapa tak bilang padaku?" Ternyata, cinta yang melintasi batas kelas sosial memang ditakdirkan serendah sampah. Dia pun pergi dengan hati hancur, menghilang tanpa jejak. Enam tahun kemudian, saat mereka bertemu kembali, Edmund telah menjadi penguasa keluarga kaya yang berdiri di puncak tingkatan. Menggandeng tunangan dari kalangan sosialita, menggendong putra lima tahunnya, berkilau dan penuh sorotan. Sedangkan Claire, mahasiswi yang dikeluarkan kampus, menjadi pekerja rendahan yang berjuang di dasar kehidupan. Dari kejauhan menatap "keluarga bertiga" yang menyilaukan itu... Claire pun merasakan air mata getir yang datang terlambat enam tahun. Namun tatapan pria yang tajam bak elang itu, justru dengan tepat mengunci keberadaannya! Terutama karena raut mata dan alis bocah dalam pelukannya begitu mirip dengan Claire, hingga Edmund seketika kehilangan kendali! Di ruang ganti yang sempit, Edmund mencengkeram pinggangnya, napasnya panas membakar, ciumannya tergesa dan liar. "Kamu yang melahirkan Nora... kan?" Claire hanya ingin benar-benar melarikan diri dari dunia Edmund. Namun pria yang dulu tak terjangkau itu, justru jatuh gila demi dirinya! Bersikap manja, pura-pura sakit, melakukan apa saja tanpa batas... Bahkan pada hari pernikahan Claire, pria itu bertindak kasar dan merebutnya pergi! "Edmund, cukup!" "Claire, kumohon... beri aku satu kesempatan untuk menebus kesalahanku." Dulu, dengan tangannya sendiri, Edmund menghancurkan harga diri dan cinta Claire. Kini, Edmund berlutut, sedikit demi sediki
