Tears Like Rain

Quand Sofia Leone, brillante comptable financière, découvre que l’entreprise qui l’emploie blanchit de l’argent pour l’une des plus puissantes familles mafieuses d’Europe, elle tente de fuir. Mais on ne quitte pas la mafia… sauf si elle vous y invite. Emmenée de force à Rome, elle se retrouve face à Elio Mancini, le parrain impitoyable de la famille, connu pour sa froideur légendaire et sa beauté glaciale. Au lieu de la tuer, il lui propose un marché : rester auprès de lui, jouer le rôle de sa fiancée, et l’aider à démasquer un traître au sein de son empire. En échange, il lui garantit la vie sauve. Mais ce qu’Elio n’avait pas prévu, c’est que Sofia ne se laisse pas dominer facilement. Elle attise en lui un feu qu’il pensait éteint depuis longtemps, un désir féroce mêlé de colère, de possession et de jalousie. Quant à Sofia, elle découvre un monde de luxe, de violence et de plaisir interdit où la peur se mêle à l’excitation, et où chaque nuit avec Elio efface un peu plus ses repères. Alors que les menaces se rapprochent, entre trahisons, jeux de pouvoir et étreintes dangereuses, Sofia devra choisir : fuir à nouveau… ou embrasser la noirceur pour survivre à ses côtés.

The older sister of Emma LaRue wasn't looking for love. In fact, the last thing Kaylee LaRue thought as she attended her sister's Caribbean wedding was that she would meet a man as confident as Owen Parker. The suave businessman oozed charm, and when that charm was directed at Kaylee, it gave her pause. She couldn't be sure if the man was actually interested in her or just interested in a good time. In reality, Owen Parker had never met anyone like Kaylee LaRue. The quiet girl from Iowa made him forget to breathe the first time he saw her. When he tried to work his magic, her wit proved to be a match for his, and his charms had no effect. He knew what it looked like- she probably thought that he wanted to have a vacation tryst with her just as Jack Saunders had with Emma. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Kaylee tried hard not to yield to his advances, but their last night in the Caribbean was simply magical. After a passionate night spent in the arms of Owen, Kaylee ruefully observed that there was no fake wedding to keep the two of them together. As she flew home, she thought it'd be back to the same old life for her. She never expected Owen to show up at her door. However, this small town girl wasn't sure she was ready to change for this city boy. When Kaylee tried to fit into Owen's world, everything came crashing down. In the blink of an eye, what seemed like a strong foundation suddenly found itself built on a pillar of sand. Would their relationship blossom like Jack and Emma's, or would the two of them forever be haunted by the memories of rainwater kisses?

Everyone in Salt City knew that Michael, the city’s richest man, doted on his wife as if his life depended on it. As his wife, I was once the object of everyone’s envy. But when Rachel appeared, I realized for the first time that even the one who loved you the most did not have their heart set in stone. Afraid I would find out, he hid Rachel in a villa on the outskirts of Salt City and spoiled her beyond imagination, all in a place I could not see. Yet every time he was intimate with her, Michael would still warn her coldly, “If you ever let Evelyn find out about this, your good days will be over.” But she was never obedient. Relying on Michael’s favor, she surreptitiously flaunted herself before me every day. Her presence constantly reminded me that Michael was no longer the man who only had me in his heart. So, I chose to respect his decision and vanish from his sight.

It was just another morning commute—until he happened. Across the train aisle sat a man who looked like he’d stepped out of a high-end magazine and straight into a power struggle. His voice sliced through the air, sharp and commanding, as he chewed someone out over the phone like he ran the damn universe. Arrogant. Entitled. Dressed like a Wall Street god. Correction: he looked like a god. That’s where the charm ended—or so I thought. When the train screeched to a stop, he stood up in a hurry, stormed off… and left his phone behind. Did I pick it up? Yep. Did I snoop? Absolutely. Photos, contacts, a few mysterious texts—I couldn’t help myself. Did I keep it longer than I should’ve, building stories in my head about the man behind the voice? Yeah… I did that too. When I finally gathered enough nerve to return it, I marched into the glass-and-steel fortress he called an office. He wouldn’t even come out to meet me. So I dropped his phone on the desk outside his office door. And maybe—I left a photo on it first. Not exactly the professional kind. What I didn’t expect? A message. From him. What followed were late-night texts that burned hotter than anything I’d ever known. Words became whispers. Whispers turned into fantasies. I was falling—for someone I hadn’t even really met. He and I? Total opposites. Fire and ice. Chaos and control. But when we finally came face to face, it wasn’t just sparks. It was an inferno. What happened next? Let’s just say… falling for him was the easy part. Surviving what came after? That’s where the real story began.

She stripped herself naked before him, baring not just her body but whatever it was left of her dignity. "Isn't this what you wanted, like all the other Alphas?" She asked him, her voice trembling with pain and contempt. He stood frozen as he beheld the figure before him. And after a few minutes, picked up her robe and wrapped it gently around her. Then he walked away. She wasn't just a woman and her body which he had just seen was a sin - the kind that made time pause and had men under it's hypnotic influence. And for the first time in his life, he had felt something stir within him. His body had betrayed him, rising with a hunger that terrified him. It wasn’t just lust. It was raw and ferocious. For her and only her… his desire finally woke up. --- They say the Bloodmoon brings out the worst in beasts. For him, it made him Alpha. For me, it made me hunted. When I was chosen as a tribute to the Bloodmoon Hunt, I expected to finally have a mate. After being rejected five times by my previous ones. But what I didn't expect... was it to be him. Alpha Denzel: brutal, cold and cursed by the moon itself. Everyone fears him. They say he's unlovable and untamable. Because of his tyranny. But I’m not everyone. And I’ve got a beast of my own. That beast of an Alpha is mine to tame. Or destroy. Whichever comes first.

"My incubus has been with me for a month, but he still won't let me touch him. What could be the reason for that?" I type my questions into the customer service feedback form and wait for a reply. The customer service representative replies at once in a very helpful manner. "Dear customer, our incubi are all very eager to stick to their owners like glue! I'm afraid your issue might be due to a malfunction on his end. "We can apply for your incubus to be replaced with a new one instead, and he will arrive in a week." I look at Riven Sterling, the incubus whom I had made tailored specifically to my tastes. After a moment of thought, I decide that maybe I can just wait and observe for a while longer. If he still doesn't change for the better, then I can perhaps send him in for repairs. After all, Riven is just too perfectly aligned with my tastes. I can't bear to give him up. However, at the family dinner, I quickly realize that Riven is having a reaction toward my younger stepsister, Teresa Ashford, who is sitting across from me. It's only then that I recall that Teresa is the one who opened my parcel the last time Riven arrived at the doorstep. That night, I contact the customer service representative again and say, "You said that the new replacement would be arriving in a week, right? Please send it out, then. Thank you."

Je m'appelle Isabella Wright. La cinquième année de mon mariage avec le Don d'une puissante famille mafieuse, je découvre que le talisman de protection qu'il m'a offert me provoque des maux de tête chaque fois que je le porte sur moi. Je retire le petit sachet dissimulé à l'intérieur du talisman et l'apporte à l'hôpital Cursley. Le médecin examine le sachet, puis relève la tête et m'explique qu'il contient un type de poison à action lente, qui non seulement endommage progressivement le corps de la victime, mais finit aussi par la rendre stérile avec le temps. Je fonds en larmes et m'écrie : « Mais c'est impossible ! C'est mon mari qui me l'a donné ! Il s'appelle Vincenzo Cursley. C'est aussi le propriétaire de cet hôpital ! » Le médecin me regarde, visiblement déconcerté. « Mademoiselle, je crois que vous devriez consulter un psychiatre. Je connais très bien M. Cursley et son épouse. Ils sont extrêmement proches et affectueux. De plus, Mme Cursley a donné naissance à un petit garçon il n'y a pas si longtemps. Ils se trouvent tous les deux en ce moment même dans le service VIP, en train d'admirer leur enfant. » Puis le médecin sort son téléphone et me montre une photo. Vincenzo y a apparu, vêtu de son habituel costume noir, avec l'emblème de la famille Cursley brodé sur la poitrine. Il a tenu un bébé dans ses bras. Et la femme qui s'est tenue à ses côtés… Je la connais. Elle s'appelle Claudia Henderson. Et Vincenzo l'a toujours présentée comme sa sœur adoptive.
