Victor Wood Songs Non Stop

Hindi naging madali ang buhay ni Cataleya Lorenzo. Lumaki siyang walang ina at ang tanging pamilya niya ay ang ama niyang palaging abala pero kailanma’y hindi siya pinabayaan. Sa Amerika siya nagkaisip, malayo sa mundong tunay niyang pinagmulan. Pagbalik niya sa Pilipinas, isang linggo pa lang ang lumilipas nang ipakilala sa kanya ng ama ang matalik nitong kaibigan—si Santino Rosales. Matagal na niyang naririnig ang pangalang iyon, pero hindi siya handa sa kung anong klaseng presensya ang sasalubong sa kanya. Walang nabanggit ang ama niya tungkol sa lalaking may tinging kayang tumagos sa laman, tinig na malamig pero nakakakuryente, at lakas ng loob na hindi mo puwedeng bale-walain. Si Santino Rosales ay isang kilalang propesor, negosyante, at taong hindi basta nalalapitan. Pero habang tumatagal, lalong nahuhulog si Santino sa bitag ng sarili niyang damdamin. At nang biglang bawian ng buhay ang ama niya sa isang aksidente, naiwan siyang walang mapuntahan kundi ang bahay ni Santino. Sa huling hiling ng ama niya, ito na ang magiging tagapangalaga niya. Ngunit sa bawat araw na magkasama sila, sa bawat tahimik na gabing sila lang ang naroroon, mas lalong humihigpit ang tali ng damdaming hindi dapat umusbong. Anong gagawin niya kung ang nag-iisa niyang tagapagtanggol ay siya ring lalaking unti-unting bumibihag sa puso niya?

It's my birthday, but my Alpha mate, Jackson Daveed, has a church wedding with his first love. When I question him about it, he says, "Laila's been poisoned with wolfsbane. I was just giving her a wedding per her final wishes. You think so lowly of us—can't you tell whether or not I've cheated?" He knows better than anyone that I lost my wolf after saving him—he and I no longer have the mind-link between mates. I've long since become a regular person who's worthless. I don't cry or cause a fuss. Instead, I make an appointment with a healer to have an abortion. But for some reason, Jackson, who's always scorned me, goes out of his mind as he tries to track me down.

J'étais Rebecca, la compagne de Gauvain Clerc, Alpha de la Meute au Pelage d'Acier — la plus puissante des meutes du Nord. Gauvain était un génie des affaires qu'on ne rencontre qu'une fois par siècle, son réseau commercial s'étendant sur une douzaine de meutes nordiques et transformant la sienne en un véritable empire réussi. Il m'avait revendiquée pendant quatre ans. Nous étions prêts pour notre cérémonie d'union… jusqu'au retour de Viviane, son amour d'enfance. Le jour où je les ai vus se retrouver, la vérité m'a foudroyée : ce que je croyais être de l'amour n'avait toujours été qu'une illusion, la mienne. Dans ses yeux, il n'y avait qu'elle. Moi, je n'avais été qu'un simple arrangement. Au moins, il ne m'avait jamais marquée. Aucun lien de compagnon, seulement des papiers glacés du Conseil de la Meute. Cela simplifiait les choses. Alors j'ai préparé ma revanche : j'ai déguisé l'Accord de Dissolution du lien de compagnon en simple formulaire administratif d'université. Quand sa plume a effleuré ce document, notre lien s'est rompu d'un seul trait d'encre. Il n'a jamais compris ce qu'il perdait ce jour-là : pas seulement une compagne, mais l'héritier futur de la Meute au Pelage d'Acier. À présent, il me traque à travers les continents. Est-ce de l'amour ? Ou bien à cause du petit ? Ou seulement l'orgueil d'un Alpha, consumé par le fait que j'aie réussi à briser notre lien de compagnon sans qu'il ne réalise qu'il venait d'être joué ?

*****Trigger Warning***** This book contains mature themes, physical, sexual and emotional abuse. My name is Lillian Blackwood. I thought my life was over. I had been beaten down and controlled by my ex both emotionally and physically for years. It was, do or die. Fortunately, I survived, and with therapy and time, I finally started some semblance of a life. The very last thing I was looking for was love. I hate dating, and quite frankly, I'm not a fan of men and who can blame me? I keep a very tight circle of friends, so I was surprised when love pushed and shoved its way into my life. But not all fairytales have happy endings, and my tale certainly gives happiness a run for its money.
