Kehidupan Liliana Shakira berubah 180 derajat setelah pertemuannya dengan Lucas Wang. Pria tampan yang merupakan aktor terkenal papan atas yang tengah terlibat skandal. Dan pertemuan mereka di awali di kolam renang dimana Lucas tinggal sementara, untuk menghindari kejaran para awak media. Tanpa Shakira ketahui Lucas telah menghuni rumah di sebelah rumahnya yang ia pikir kosong karena pemilik telah pindah. Shakira gadis yang cantik, memiliki tinggi 165 cm dengan kulit putih bersih bak porselen juga bentuk tubuh dambaan kaum Adam, mampu membuat Lucas melakukan hal gila dengan memperkosanya. Namun dari sanalah awal kisah mereka. Lucas yang candu akan kegiatan panasnya dengan Shakira meminta wanita itu untuk menjadi penyelamat atas kasus skandalnya. Juga sebagai alibi untuk menuntaskan hasratnya pada Shakira, memanfaatkan dan mengurung Shakira dalam genggaman tangannya. Namun siapa sangka, pria berusia 28 tahun dengan wajah bak dewa Yunani dan bentuk tubuh proporsional itu kalah dari permainannya. Shakira berbeda dengan para wanita yang mengejarnya. Bahkan Shakira tak mengenalnya sebagai aktor terkenal di pertemuan pertama mereka. Shakira juga lebih memilih lepas darinya dan mempertahankan perasaannya pada sang mantan. Wanita itu bahkan membuang kartu atm dengan saldo ratusan juta yang Lucas kirimkan tepat ke wajahnya. Namun bukan Lucas namanya jika tidak bisa mendapatkan wanita yang ia inginkan. Ia akan mendapatkannya apapun yang terjadi, meski harus melepas status aktor yang sebenarnya sudah lama ia ingin berhenti, juga mengorbankan nyawanya sendiri. Ditambah melewati kedua orangtua Shakira yang ingin membuatnya mati karena tak merestui. Namun semua berbuah manis saat Shakira menyadari bahwa ia telah jatuh hati, pada Lucas dan pada semua yang Lucas lakukan sebagai bukti. Lucas rela melepas statusnya sebagai public figure hanya untuknya, bahkan rela mati di hadapan orangtuanya guna menunjukkan kesungguhan hatinya. Dan ia tak akan ragu lagi bahwa ia bersedia menemani Lucas sampai akhir hidupnya.

On the eve of our wedding, Trevin Hoffman's childhood sweetheart, a mercenary who had vanished for five years, was struck by a deadly love spell during a mission. When her teammates dragged her back to him, she was covered in blood, barely clinging to life. Trevin, usually calm and composed, lost control. Ignoring my protests, he locked himself in with her for the entire night. I sat outside that door, sleepless until dawn. The next morning, when I demanded an explanation in hysteria, he shielded her with his body and snapped, his mask completely gone. "I couldn't just watch Wren die. One wild night before marriage, what's so wrong with that?" At that moment, I was disillusioned. My love for him vanished in an instant.

I spent the night with a stranger… Who got me pregnant… And turned out to be my boss… Whoops, sorry, did I say “boss”? I meant a MOB boss. To be fair, I didn’t know he was my boss when I slept with him. I thought he was just the kind stranger offering me a place to stay. But one night in Misha Orlov’s hotel room got me way more than I bargained for. It got me champagne that tasted like starlight. Satin sheets as soft as a dream. And a man with silver eyes who showed me how it felt to come undone. And then, in the morning… He was gone. That’s fine: I needed to get my life together anyway. After all, my ex-not-quite-husband (it’s a long story) just emptied all our bank accounts and disappeared, taking my home and my money and my job with him. So I’m starting from a blank slate. I find myself a new apartment. A new job. And I put both Misha and my husband behind me. At least, I thought I did. Until Day 1 of orientation. When I learn that Misha Orlov is my new boss. That’s bad enough. What’s worse is what came next. A car crash. A doctor’s appointment. And two pieces of unsettling news. Congratulations, the doctor says. You’re pregnant. Congratulations, Misha says. You and I are getting married.

BXB Kane Trésor is annoyed that he had to move six hours away, into a new home and even worse, share a room with his step-sister Ally. Even the new school he has to attend has the most annoying type of kids, and let's not even mention the jocks that truly believe they're up and above everyone else.

Kane was having a good time, but he found a few people playing pool downstairs. And that's when he met him. Jay Kalister had been intriguing from the moment he met him.

They did something to Jay, but nobody's admitting to it, and Ally tries to break the friendship between Kane and Jay as much as she can before he uncovers the truth.

One night. One kiss. One viral humiliation. Livia Harper built Theo Whitford’s dying company into a billion-dollar empire while carrying his child in secret. On their second anniversary, in front of two hundred cameras, Theo introduced his college sweetheart as “the woman I’ve always loved” and kissed her like Livia never existed. Twenty-four hours later Livia is Mrs. Alexander Kane (the most ruthless billionaire in America and Theo’s oldest enemy). The contract is simple: one year of fake marriage, seventy-five million dollars, and the total annihilation of Theo Whitford’s life. Rules: No feelings. The baby stays a secret. When the year ends, she disappears forever. But contracts weren’t made for the kind of fire that ignites when the woman who has nothing left to lose marries the man who’s never lost anything. Some vows are made to be broken. Others are made to burn the world down.

After a venomous snake bites me, my husband, Daniel Dawson, injects the only antivenom into my adopted sister, Grace Winton. Before I black out, I see my parents, Daniel, and my son, Ethan Dawson, all gathered around Grace, while I lie alone on the grass, completely ignored. When I come to, my colleague shakes his head and tells me the toxin has already spread. Within 48 hours, my body will begin to rot from the inside, and I'll die in unbearable pain. I give up the conservative plan and swallow a potent painkiller instead. Over the next two days, I transfer the hospital my grandfather gave me and every asset in my name to Grace. I divorce Daniel and place both his and Ethan's hands into Grace's. When I put Grace's name on the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment protocol I've spent five years developing, they finally smile, hold my hand, and tell me we're finally a real family. I stay silent and only smile at them. I wonder what their faces will look like two days later when they see my body.

My husband's parents were stung by an unidentified venomous queen hornet and rushed to the hospital. As soon as I heard the news, I hurried to the entomology research institute to seek help from my husband, who was the director, hoping he could assist the doctors with the diagnosis. Instead, he called for security to block me at the entrance. "I don't handle work matters after hours," he said coldly. "Penny's mother is sick, and I need to go take care of her." I tried to show him the critical condition notice from the hospital, but he tore it up in one swift motion. "People die every day. So what if your dad and mom died?" After my in-laws passed away, I filed a lawsuit against Penny Madison, who had deliberately disturbed the beehive that led to the attack. My husband, who had disappeared for several days, suddenly showed up as an expert witness in court. He fabricated a false professional opinion to exonerate Penny. When I decided to leave the country, he lost his temper. "What do your parents' short lives have to do with me? Is it so hard to understand that after a long day at work, I just want to rest? And now you want to drag Penny into this mess. Just because your own family is broken, you want to ruin someone else's? How can you be so vicious? You deserve to lose your parents!" Watching his brazen attempts to twist the truth, I suddenly realized something. He still didn't know that he had become an orphan.
