V Birthday

“My husband got his mistress pregnant… so I handed him the divorce papers.” Three years of silence. Three years of contempt. Three years living in the shadow of a man who loved someone else. Rachelle Veronesi, heiress to a fashion empire, fulfilled her end of the bargain: she was the perfect wife to Nikolai Santoro. She endured his humiliations, his cold absences, and the constant presence of Micah—the childhood friend he always chose over her. But the illusion shatters during a family dinner when Micah announces her pregnancy. Rachelle doesn’t cry. She doesn’t beg. She walks away. With nothing but her name and her power, she reclaims her place at the top of the fashion world—stronger, colder, untouchable. Nikolai believes she’ll come crawling back. He thinks she’s nothing without him. He couldn’t be more wrong. Because as Rachelle rises, he begins to uncover the truth: the woman he trusted has been lying to him… and the child she carries isn’t even his. Now, with only three months left before the divorce is final, Nikolai is forced to face the one truth he never wanted to admit— He didn’t lose a convenient wife. He lost the only woman who ever truly loved him. And this time… she’s not coming back.

One seemed so perfect, a strong, handsome warrior wolf. The other is headstrong with a bad reputation, oh and a Fae. Ember McKenzie Nichols is stuck between two very different men who are both fighting for her hand and her heart. Before she really gets a chance to figure out where her heart is leading her she’s thrust into the mystery of missing supernaturals. Both wolves and Fae have been taken and before a war breaks out it's up to Ember and her small team to find out who’s taken them and why, and hopefully get them back. Little does she know that the Blood Lust Coven is trying to do just that, start a war. Will Ember be able to solve the mystery and save her people in time? Will she be able to follow her heart and find her Goddess-given True Mate?

She has nothing left. Only a mountain of bank debts, a past that haunts her, and an ex-boyfriend who didn’t just break her heart—he dragged her into total ruin. He is the most powerful man in the country. Adem Sahenk is cold, calculating, and lethally attractive. But there is one dangerous detail: he is a married man. Defne Sabanci is no fool. She has felt her new boss’s burning gaze from day one—a look that scorches her skin and defies her morals. But desperation has a price, and when the threats from her past come knocking at her door, Adem offers her a way out that feels like a dream… and a nightmare. The proposal is clear: become my mistress. Adem promises her financial freedom, absolute protection, and the chance to become the woman she’s always dreamed of being. But in the world of the Sahenks, nothing comes for free. His only condition is as dark as it is intoxicating: she must be capable of leading him to ecstasy. Trapped between the need to survive and the desire for a man who doesn’t belong to her, Defne will discover that to reach ecstasy, she must first heal the scars of a love that destroyed her. In this game of power and seduction, there is only one rule: Love me or leave me… before we are both consumed by the sin.

One night. One witness. One life-changing mistake. I was never supposed to be in that alley. I was never supposed to see Ruan "Reaper" Montague, the cold-blooded president of the Iron Skulls MC, execute a traitor. Now, the man with the silver eyes and tattooed skin has a Choice: kill me to protect his club, or keep me to satisfy his darkest desires. I thought I’d be his prisoner, but Reaper has other plans. In his world, there are no laws, only his word. He hasn't just taken my freedom; he has claimed my soul. I’m the girl who saw too much, and he’s the monster who won't let me go. I am no longer a witness... I am his property.

At my 25th birthday party, my childhood sweetheart got down on one knee, holding a diamond ring. "Diane, will you marry me?" I nodded, my eyes misty with tears, but just as I reached out, he slipped the ring onto my best friend's finger instead. The room went silent for a beat before erupting in laughter. "Just kidding!" Livio Becker laughed. "You didn't take it seriously, did you?" I forced a smile and looked over his shoulder at someone. "I bet he would propose tonight, and I was right. You lost the bet, so tomorrow we're getting married for real."

On her eighteenth birthday, Danika Rhodes discovers that her missing father is a werewolf. He informs her that, through a rite of passage, she will take a mate and join his pack. Though she’s been raised her entire life as a human, something in this feels right—calls to her—and she is soon thrown into an awakening ceremony. Unfortunately, nothing goes according to plan, and she finds herself mated to not just one wolf, but several--something completely unheard of. Add that one of her mates is the next alpha in line--and he has no interest in mating with her! Furthermore, adding chaos to the craziness, the risk of an all-out war with a conflicting vampire coven is on the rise.

It was my third year with Timothy Jones when he had fallen for someone else and wanted to end things. At his birthday party, he embraced a petite and cute woman, telling his friends, "It's better to go for the sweet, innocent ones." Someone asked, "What about Olivia?" "Olivia? We've been fooling around for three years. Sure, she's fun, but sometimes you need a change of pace, right?" The "Olivia" he casually dismissed was me. And his new girlfriend? None other than my dad's illegitimate daughter, Willow Lambert. It was fine. I decided it was time for me to change things up, too.

One night-stand stranger turned step-brother, an unfortunate twist or maybe a lucky one? Avery Archer is not very good with men, blessed with a cold and indifferent attitude because of how she was brought up, ended up sleeping with a cute, young handsome stranger after a terrible break-up with a shameless ex at her friend’s birthday party. What happens when this younger man turns out to be the son of her father’s mistress who she doesn’t like very much? What happens when this handsome stranger drags her into the world of werewolves and fated pairs? Will she allow their sinful bond to decide for them or will she cave to the obstacles in their way?

Despite Thorne Henderson's chilly demeanor after seven years of marriage, Charlene Ross always smiled at him, demonstrating her great love and belief that she would one day win his heart. Rather, she discovered him completely enamored and very protective of another woman, but she persisted in tenaciously preserving their marriage. Charlene was left alone in an empty room on her birthday after he took their child to be with the other lady after she had flown abroad to find him and their daughter. At last, she quit up at that point. As she watched her raised daughter refer to another woman as "mom," Charlene's sorrow subsided.
