Stella And Maverick Novel

Aderyn Brookes, a free-spirited and mysterious rebel, sets off on a solo drive through various countries in her luxury car. Her adventure takes a dark turn when she is abducted by two enigmatic men. Awakening in an otherworldly realm, she realizes she is the human mate of Dylan Black Bishop, the ruthless king of a werewolf kingdom. Dylan, who despises humans and believes them weak, initially wants to reject her. Unable to bear the mate bond, he orders his beta, Blake, to keep her in their pack house. As Aderyn learns about the werewolf world, she remains indifferent to Dylan’s advances, surprising him with her strength and resistance to the mate bond. Unlike other werewolves, Dylan cannot read her mind and becomes restless when she is not around. A turn of events reveals Aderyn’s dark past—she is a trained assassin, far stronger than Dylan imagined. Dylan begins to accept Aderyn’s past and her strength, and he learns to love her for the pain they both share, not just because of the mate bond. Aderyn eventually succumbs to Dylan's charms, and together they navigate the complexities of their intertwined destinies, finding love amidst the shadows of their haunted pasts.

My five-year marriage with Alexander was like a couture gown, ripped to shreds. "I want Victoria to show your collection for the New York Fashion Week spring preview." My husband Alexander's voice cut through the sketch I was working on. I stopped drawing. I must have heard him wrong. "What did you say?" "Victoria is new. She needs a platform. Your new spring collection is the perfect springboard for her." "You're a showstopper every year. What's the harm in giving her one shot?" he asked, his tone as casual as if he were discussing the weather. "Besides, the brand needs new blood." I stared at the man I'd spent five years with. Suddenly, his face looked sharp, unfamiliar. "Do you have any idea how many nights I've stayed up working on this collection? And you want to give it to some new assistant?" "Evelyn, don't be so petty. It's just a preview." His expression turned cold. "I've already decided." I clenched my fists, a thousand emotions churning inside me. Fine. If you're going to treat me like this, don't blame me for leaving you.

The new intern, Cynthia Joller, had posted about me online, claiming the company had made them use their leave for team building. No one wanted to fly all the way to an island to spend time with colleagues. However, what the internet did not know was that our company's team-building tradition involved booking a top-notch five-star resort every year: all-inclusive, family-friendly, with an extra three days of paid leave, and a $30,000 budget per person. The whole internet dubbed me a cold-blooded capitalist, so I decided to give in to their demands and issued a notice. [In response to employee feedback and to honor personal time, this year's team-building retreat has been canceled. Instead, a $500 allowance for personal travel will be provided.] The notice stirred up a commotion in the company. Long-time employees gathered at my office door, pleading for the return of the sunny Madiles retreat.

The day I died, the baby in my womb was only five months old. In that final phone call, my father, John Harlow, the godfather of the Harlow family, spoke with a voice as icy as a loaded gun. "A married woman belongs to her husband's family, even in death." When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I had been placed under house arrest. He was circling my college application with a red pen. "Girls who study art are easier to marry off." In front of him, I tore the family's marriage alliance files into pieces. "I'm going to Camford University. I'm studying Computer Science." He sprang to his feet so suddenly that his finger nearly jabbed my face, his sleeve cuff revealing the family crest tattoo. "If you dare defy me, don't ever regard me as godfather." I smiled. "Exactly what I want." Meeting his stunned gaze, I spoke each word deliberately. "The name Harlow. I have long stopped wanting it."
