The Con Artists

Thea Marlowe a tout perdu en une seule journée—son fiancé, son père et son avenir. Engloutie dans deux millions de dollars de dettes envers des criminels dangereux, elle accepte un accord désespéré proposé par le froid milliardaire Cade Thornwell. Une offre qui stipule qu’elle l’épouse pendant deux ans afin de sécuriser son héritage. Mais leur mariage contractuel les plonge dans un monde de trahisons familiales, de complots mortels et d’ennemis qui veulent les voir détruits. Alors que différents ennemis, du passé comme du présent, complotent pour leur chute, y compris les deux familles. Thea découvre que l’arrangement n’a jamais été uniquement une affaire. Maintenant qu’elle a déjà signé le contrat, partir n’est plus une option.

Elizabeth would still not believe her eyes as she stared down the contract she was about to sign her whole life to. She was the secretary to Cole , the rich billionaire who she had been working for for three good year. She had been the perfect robotic secretary, so it came as a shock to her when her boss suddenly tells her that he would like for her to get married to him, in a contract marriage. Beth was the only child fending for herself. And the money had been really enriching, so she decides to take on the job. It would hurt nothing. It was only perfect for Cole because he had to get married so he could prove to his business partners that he was serious enough, and was no longer the player he was rumoured to be. Hence, he approaches elle with a contract marriage. A marriage that was to last for ten good months. Just enough time to have sealed the contract. It was going to be satisfying on his own side, and he was not ready to get into a commitment.

Soy una mujer lobo, con ocho meses de embarazo del cachorro híbrido de mi compañero vampiro. Cuando comenzaron las contracciones, mi compañero vampiro, Justin, me encerró en un ataúd de hielo tallado con runas destinadas a suprimir el parto. Grité. Le supliqué. Y él solo dijo: —Espera. Pero todo esto era por su amor de la infancia. Isolde. La vampira de sangre pura había usado magia oscura de sangre para gestar a su heredero de sangre pura sin haber tenido relaciones. El primer niño vampiro nacido en un milenio recibiría la bendición suprema del Progenitor. Purificaría la línea de sangre. Rompería una maldición que se había estado gestando durante generaciones. —Ese honor le pertenece al niño de Isolde —dijo Justin, con la voz absolutamente gélida—. Ya tienes mi amor, Gracie. Este ataúd solo garantiza que des a luz después que ella. El dolor de las contracciones me desgarraba. Le supliqué que me llevara al Santuario de la Fuente de Sangre. Sin embargo, se inclinó hacia mí con sus dedos fríos sujetando mi barbilla. —Deja de actuar. Debí haberlo visto antes. Tú nunca me amaste. Eras una paria en el mundo de los hombres lobo. Solo querías mi poder y mi título. Estás tan desesperada que pondrías en riesgo a nuestro hijo con tus trucos salvajes de loba, solo para arruinar la bendición de un sangre pura… Eres venenosa. Las lágrimas corrían por mi rostro. Temblaba, mi voz estaba hecha pedazos. —El cachorro ya viene… no puedo detenerlo. Por favor, haré un juramento de sangre. No me importa la bendición. ¡Solo te quiero a ti! Él se burló, con un destello de dolorosa traición en sus ojos. —Si me amaras, no habrías ido corriendo con mi madre. No le habrías envenenado la mente contra Isolde. Volveré después de que ella reciba la bendición. Después de todo, el niño que llevas también es mío. Después de eso, se quedó montando guardia afuera del santuario donde el ritual de Isolde se llevó a cabo. No volvió a pensar en mí. No hasta que vio el halo de la bendición coronar a Isolde. Fue entonces que ordenó a su siervo de sangre que me liberara. Pero la voz del esclavo temblaba de terror. —Mi lord… Lady Gracie y el niño… sus signos de vida… han desaparecido. En ese instante, el mundo de Justin se hizo añicos.

WRONG BRIDE - CORRECT BRIDE Regardless of being a self- made Billionaire, the untamed billionaire Antonio is the heir apparent to his Father's stinky wealth. On the contrary, his Father has decided to make life difficult for him or he will risk losing his entitlement to be the CEO of the RODRIGUEZ EMPIRE to his not so favorite cousin Andre. Megan has to work hard to make sure she manages to send her only little sister Mitch to school and help her achieve her dream. Unfortunately, the only job she could get for now is being the maid to the untamed billionaire Antonio. "Unfortunately, whilst saving the model for a bride, the maid has got to be the bride". Antonio must get himself a wife quickly before the clock turns red. His maid could be his only desperate option for now, since his model goddess is not available for the marriage right, but is that all she's going to be... Apparently from being a desperate option to being the mother of his son and the woman he can't live with. Warning: This contract marriage which starts with no love gets to be a steamy romance as our hero takes over the life of our heroin who doesn't want to be his. Grab your best drink and cozy up with this sweet treat.

Elara Knigh a autrefois évolué dans les cercles où le pouvoir protège de tout. Aujourd’hui, il ne lui reste plus rien de cette influence, sinon des ennemis, des menaces et une certitude glaçante : elle n’est plus en sécurité. Lorsqu’elle croise la route d’Adrian Vale, elle ne demande pas à être sauvée. Elle négocie. Adrian est un homme qui ne croit ni au hasard ni à la compassion. Il ne protège pas par bonté, mais par stratégie. Son monde repose sur une seule loi : le contrôle. Un contrôle précis, silencieux, méthodique — jamais brutal, toujours choisi. Lorsqu’il accepte de prendre Elara sous sa protection, ce n’est pas un acte de charité, mais la signature d’un contrat. Un contrat qui impose des règles. Pas de chaînes. Pas de violence. Seulement une structure, une surveillance constante, et une obéissance déguisée en ordre. Dans cet univers où tout est cadré, Elara découvre une forme de domination qu’elle n’avait jamais envisagée : une emprise subtile, presque rassurante, qui lui offre une sécurité qu’elle n’a plus connue depuis longtemps. Peu à peu, elle comprend que le pouvoir d’Adrian ne réside pas dans la force, mais dans le retrait, l’absence, le refus. À mesure que la tension entre eux grandit, la relation bascule. Les règles deviennent des rituels. L’obéissance devient un choix. Et le contrôle, une tentation. Mais lorsqu’Elara commence à manipuler à son tour, prouvant qu’elle n’est ni faible ni soumise, Adrian se retrouve confronté à ce qu’il redoute le plus : perdre la maîtrise de ce qu’il protège. L’attirance se transforme en obsession, et la frontière entre protection et possession se fissure.

Pourtant, Leonardo n'est pas tout à fait ce qu'il paraît. Derrière son apparence froide et impitoyable se cache une complexité qui terrifie et trouble Isla.

He leaned in, kissing her deeply before guiding her onto her back, spreading her legs wide. "You're driving me insane, Tiffany Halton," he rasped, his forehead pressing against hers. "God, what am I going to do with you?" She gasped, every inch stretching around him, her breath coming in sharp little cries. Kai clenched his jaw, struggling to keep himself in check as he buried himself inside her. Each time he tried, her body responded with a shiver, a breathy moan that drove him wild. Finally, he breached her, sliding deep inside, burying himself to the hilt. They both moaned. "Oh, fuck," he groaned. Kai looked down, mesmerized by the sight of them joined together.
