The fear of intimacy prevented Lisa from being in a love relationship with any men, hence she never gave much thought about how she would be falling in love with someone until she met Joseph, a surprisingly good-looking but mean billionaire who changed his girlfriend on a three-monthly basis. Fate was often conceived as inevitable -though fate arranged two individuals encounter and brought two people together, but personal happiness depended on you. It was a love game two can play, but it was not a well-matched race between the master and the beginner. Even so, what else can you do? You need to keep playing until either the sides win or one's heartbroken.

I still have a week before my due date when a truck suddenly hits me, sending me flying several feet and leaving me bleeding profusely on the ground. As I lose consciousness, I call my husband, Wallace Brown, begging him to rush over and save our unborn child, only for him to reply coldly, "It's Beth's 18th birthday party today, Meryl. You can't seriously be pulling one of your stunts on a day like this, can you?" In the next instant, I hear my son, Daniel Brown, exclaiming, "You're always using the baby to threaten us, Mommy! I really hate it when you do that!" Wallace stresses the importance of Beth's birthday party again, demands that I attend immediately, and then hangs up on me. With a pool of blood spreading beneath me, I close my eyes, overcome by despair. When I open my eyes again, I am met by the sight of a death certificate. The doctor delivers a crushing pronouncement. "I'm sorry, but if you had gotten here sooner, we might have been able to save the baby's life…" I look at the death certificate, feeling as though my heart died with my baby. I finally decide to leave this family, yet now they're the ones begging me to stay.

I was betting on my mate, but he failed me. He was my worst enemy. How could the moon goddess be this cruel? " I Jake Aloysius reject you Violet Blake" I was stupefied to even speak, I expected it anyway. I thought it was over... not until our parents came up with a plot to get us married, des

"𝐒𝐡𝐡𝐡....𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭, 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞. 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭." * He marries her to execute his father's cruel revenge plan. She marries him to save her family. He is cold and feared by many. She is soft and beloved by many. What happens when they're thrust into an arranged marriage and they begin craving more than each other's mere presence?

Twenty-two years old, Aurora Torres suddenly disappeared when she learned that her father made an agreement that was against her will. She had a simple life away from her parents, but after two years of being separated from them, she was forced to return because her father needed her help. Upon her return, she openly accepted the wedding arrangement of a stranger named, Damien Harrison. Even before their marriage, they both agreed to make a rule— their marriage was only up to a piece of the paper. Will Aurora and Damien's business marriage last for a lifetime? Or will they end up never falling in love with each other?

Three years ago, on the day I married Luca Moretti, he personally handed me a marriage contract with a fixed term of three years. His tone was casual, indifferent, as if he were discussing an ordinary business deal. "This marriage exists solely to serve the alliance of interests between the Morettis and the Vitales. Sign this agreement. After three years, the marriage will automatically dissolve. When that time comes, you can go and pursue your true love." I barely hesitated before signing. Ten years earlier, at an inter-family business gala, when I was ten and Luca was sixteen, I had already fallen hopelessly in love with him. What looked like a strategic alliance was, in truth, the outcome of my decade-long unrequited love. During the three years of our marriage, Luca was attentive and gentle toward me. Over time, I began to believe I was loved. I sank into that illusion, unable to pull myself out, forgetting entirely about the agreement. That illusion was shattered completely on the night of our third wedding anniversary. That evening, Luca arrived with Elena, who had just returned to New York, and attended what was supposed to be our third anniversary celebration together. She stood beside him with ease and composure, smoothly engaging with business partners. People praised her, saying she looked more like the Donna of the Moretti family. In that moment, even though Luca never mentioned the agreement again, I understood clearly that it was time for me to step aside. After breaking free from his control, crossing an ocean to rebuild myself, and becoming a brilliant leader in my industry, I would no longer wait for his love.

“I’ve been through heartbreak, and I don't desire love. Even if I marry you, I won't give you love.” Lisa stared pointedly at him, “ Are you okay with this, President Joseph?” “Then…Let's sign a one-year contract. If after one year we still don't find ourselves compatible, we break it off.” **** The Heiress, Lisa Morgan came back home after an ultimate betrayal from her husband of three years, but her father wouldn't let her into his home unless she agreed to his condition. “Take over the company and marry Joseph Bronson, or leave and never come back again!” As a woman who only cares about survival right now, her choice was obvious but she never expected the turbulence that came after.

BLURB She was born to rule not to submit. He was born to love her even when she hated him. Cecilia is a rare female Alpha queen of the most powerful pack in the kingdom, raised to rule, not to submit. Marriage is a weakness she refuses to wear… until her father forces her hand. To save a dying pack, Cecilia is bound by an arranged marriage to Cassian, the quiet heir of Redwood, a man she neither trusts nor wants. If she refuses, her crown will be given to another. Bitter and furious, Cecilia treats her new mate like an enemy. Cassian endures her cruelty in silence, hiding a love he has carried for years and a strength she never bothered to see. But when duty demands an heir, lines are crossed and emotions begin to fracture. As jealousy, betrayal, and dangerous games unfold within palace walls, enemies gather outside, ready to destroy everything Cecilia has built. When blood is spilled and secrets unravel, she must face the truth she’s been running from: The man she was forced to marry is the only one willing to die for her. In a world of power, pride, and pack politics, love was never part of the plan but fate had other intentions.
