Talent Sun Tzu

Catherine swore she would never fall into his arms. But John Blackwell had money, dangerous lips, and an absurd talent for dismantling her will. When she agreed to live with him, she thought desire would be enough. It wasn’t. The pressure from his family made him choose a “worthy” wife—and left her shattered. But billionaires never quit the game. John came back to claim her body and her love. Everything was fine... until Álvaro, his charmingly toxic friend, decided to make her his next conquest. Now Catherine is trapped between two men who want her with the same ferocity that could destroy her. And the problem is that sometimes temptation tastes better than loyalty.

Jaxon Carter has everything a man could want—talent, fame, and a multimillion-dollar contract with the Titans almost within his grasp. The only problem? His reckless lifestyle stands between him and the contract. But his agency has told him that he can salvage the contract by cleaning up his image. Sienna Blake has two things in life she held dear —her ballet career and her house she grew up creating memories in. But when the bank forecloses her house and her ballet career barely covers her bills, she turns to her agency, only to be coldly rejected. When their paths cross at the agency, Jax sees an opportunity. She needs money. He needs stability. The solution? A fake relationship. He offers to clear her debts in exchange for playing the perfect doting girlfriend—just long enough it's beneficial to them. But what starts as a transaction soon spirals into something neither of them expected. Public appearances turn into stolen moments and close proximate intimacy blurs into something more. They find themselves trapped in a dangerous game—one where the greatest risk isn’t losing a contract or a house… but losing their hearts. And just when Sienna is ready to confess the biggest secret of all, Jax's past comes haunting them. Hurt and betrayed, she walks away without a second glance, choosing to protect her heart and her unborn child. Will Jax fight for what they had? Will he risk everything—including his career—to fight for the only thing that ever truly mattered?

Aïcha mène une vie paisible et lumineuse dans son quartier animé, rythmée par les livres, les discussions passionnées et l’affection des habitants. Chaque jour, elle trouve dans les petits riens un sourire échangé, un mot offert, une histoire partagée la matière d’un bonheur simple et profond. Entourée de sa meilleure amie Samira, elle s’épanouit dans un univers où la littérature est reine. Lors d’une soirée au centre culturel, son talent de lectrice captive l’auditoire et attire l’attention d’un éditeur, faisant naître en elle une nouvelle ambition : écrire, et être lue. Mais derrière cette harmonie apparente, une nuit laissera une cicatrice. Aïcha sera agressée , violée , brisée dans le silence, contrainte d’avancer en masquant sa douleur. Mais elle survivra. Reconstruit, elle aimera la vie à nouveau. Jusqu’au jour où le destin la confronte à l’inimaginable. Elle rencontre un homme. Attentif. Brillant. Troublant. Elle tombe amoureuse, lentement, intensément… sans savoir qu’il est l’auteur du cauchemar de sa jeunesse. Lui, en revanche, n’a jamais oublié son visage. “L’Ombre du Destin” est un roman déchirant et lumineux, un voyage au cœur de la résilience, de l’ambiguïté des sentiments, et de cette frontière floue entre amour, mémoire et trahison. Une histoire forte, dérangeante, bouleversante où chaque émotion porte le poids du non-dit.

I left before the sun rose. One night. One mistake. One secret I never planned to tell. I thought I was doing the right thing—disappearing with the two pink lines and a shattered heart. Three years later, I walked into a job interview… And saw the man whose face I swore I’d never forget. Killian Vale. Billionaire. Untouchable. And the father of the son he doesn’t know exists. He remembers me. And now I don’t know if I can keep running.
