Si Macie Smith ay kasal kay Edward Fowler ng dalawang taon na—dalawang taon na pagiging housekeeper ni Edward, walang pagod na naging tapat at mapagkumbaba. Dalawang taon ay sapat na para maubos ang bawat butil ng pagmamahal niya kay Edward. Ang kasal nila ay natapos nang bumalik mula sa ibang bansa ang first love ni Edward. Simula ngayon, wala na silang kinalaman sa isa’t isa. Wala na silang utang sa isa’t isa. “Hindi na ako bulag sa pag ibig, Edward. Sa tingin mo ba ay susulyapan pa kita kung nakatayo ka sa harap ko ngayon?” … Pinirmahan ni Edward ang divorce papers, hindi nag aatubili. Alam niya na mahal siya ni Macie ng higit pa sa buhay mismo—paano siya iiwan ni Macie? Hinihintay niya na pagsisihan ni Macie ang lahat—babalik si Macie ng luhaan, nagmamakaawa na tanggapin siya ni Edward. Gayunpaman, napagtanto ni Edward na mukhang seryoso si Macie ngayon. Hindi na mahal ni Macie si Edward. … Noong tumagal, lumabas ang katotohanan, at nabunyag ang nakaraan. Sa huli ay nagkamali si Edward kay Macie noon. Nataranta siya, nagsisisi, at nagmamakaawa kay Macie upang patawarin siya. Gusto niyang makipagbalikan. Sa sobrang irita ni Macie sa ugali ni Edward ay nagpadala siya ng notice na nagsasabi na naghahanap siya ng asawa. Sa sobrang selos ni Edward ay halos mawala siya sa tamang pag iisip. Gusto niyang magsimula muli, ngunit napagtanto niya na hindi man lang siya pasok sa minimum requirements.

Nagscroll ako sa reddit ng napadaan ako sa post na naghahanap ng payo. Sabi ng poster na meron siyang HIV pero tinatago ito mula sa kanyang fiancee. Ang post ay merong libong mga like. Naintriga, pinindot ko ito para magbasa pa. Ng dumadaan ako sa mga detalye, napagtanto ko—bakit ang paglalarawan ng fiancee ay pareho ko?

Nakatanggap ako ng tawag isang araw bago ang aking kasal. "Miss McPherson, may sumira sa venue mo." Nagmamadali akong pumunta sa hotel nang may pagkalito at nakasalubong ko lang ang isang babaeng winwagayway ang wedding photo ko "You homewrecking skank! Inakit mo ang asawa ko at ginastos mo ang pera niya sa kasal na ito!" Naniwala ang karamihan sa kanya at nagkagulo. Pati ang manager ng hotel ay galit sa akin. "Alam ko nang may mali dito dahil hindi nagpakita ang groom! Hindi ka niya tunay na asawa!" Ang mga tao ay marahas na nagkagulo. Sa kaguluhang iyon, nakunan ako. Sa kasagsagan ng aking galit, tinext ko ang secretary ko: [Kanselahin ang kasal, at sipain si Matteo Brando sa aking kumpanya!] Ang kapal ng mukha niya na itago ang kabit niya gamit ang kayamanan ko! How dare she challenge me! Sisirain ko sila!

I was abandoned and someone took me in, but being born in a mistake, I've never been a part of this world. Until a hit is taken out on me. I'm kidnapped in the night, heading to have fun, but waking up, it's to come face to face with Dimitri DiFronzo. Dangerous and heartless, Dimitri is the most feared man in the world. I've heard rumors about his potential. I find myself in a nightmare where I don't know who I can trust, and fear for my life is my only constant companion. I'm forced to be at Dimitri's mercy, I'm just not sure he has any. The fact that he is disarmingly attractive, doesn't help either. Tall, dark, and deadly. Knowing this, he uses it against me like a weapon, breaking down my walls faster than can put them up. There's a war coming, and I'm right in the middle of it. The only question is, will Dimitri be the one to save me or kill me?

Louise Gael had everything figured out. She was building a life she actually wanted, with Elsa, the woman she loved, and a business they built from the ground up. They were partners in every way, and nothing else mattered. Until her father’s company crashed, and just like that, everything Louise worked for got tangled in his mess. The only way out? A marriage she never wanted, to a man she never asked for, Tristan Pierre. Betrayed by the woman she loves and Thrown into the cold, calculating world of the powerful Pierre family, Louise has to survive in a house full of secrets, lies, and manipulation. Tristan is distant, quiet, and broken in his own way. His family, especially Clara and Olivia Pierre, are cruel, controlling, and used to getting exactly what they want. Now Louise is living a life that doesn’t feel like hers. She’s married to a stranger, hiding a part of herself just to stay alive in a world that would eat her alive if they knew the truth. And the deeper she gets into the Pierre family’s games, the more she realizes nothing is what it seems. Tristan isn’t just some pawn, and Louise, who used to know exactly who she was, is starting to change in ways she never expected. This isn’t just a love story, it’s about survival, sacrifice, betrayal, and finding out who you really are when everything you believed in falls apart.

Mexico gave her sun, tequila, and a man who kissed like a secret. L.A. gave her his twin-and a migraine. Jannah Cole wasn't supposed to fall for anyone on vacation. But then Ethan Hunt happened-dark eyes, cryptic smirks, and the kind of kiss that makes your brain short-circuit. He vanished before sunrise, and she told herself it was a one-time thing. Until she walked back into work and saw him again. Same jawline. Same voice. Same tattoo. Totally different name. Now he's Aaron Steele, her very polished CEO, and apparently? He's never seen her before in his life. Then there's Clinton Steele-his charming twin and self-declared Mexico mystery man. Sweet, attentive, and just confusing enough to make her question everything. After all, how many brooding, emotionally unavailable doppelgängers can one girl trip over in a single summer? And the real question: What if she didn't mistake one brother for the other? What if she didn't mistake anything at all? Two brothers. One ghost of a kiss. And a truth wrapped in too many lies to count.
