It has always been my father and me. He is a good man, but like everyone else, he makes mistakes. This time, the one he made has gotten him into a lot of trouble. He asked the wrong people for money, and now, they are threatening violence against not only him but me. He has only one choice: He needs to disappear until he can sort things out. I want to go with him, but he has other ideas. To protect me from the dangers he has put himself in, he leaves me with one person he knows he can trust. Ambrose Calloway. A man I know well, one who is ruthless and heartless. The last person I want to stay with, but when my father begs me, I can’t say no. I would rather stay with anyone else! He doesn’t want me around and only agrees because he owes my father a favour. Now, here I am, staying in a mansion with a man who hates me. The feeling is mutual. He promises my father that he will protect me until he comes back. People seem to fear Ambrose, but I have never understood why. What I don’t expect is that I would learn secrets about him that make me understand why no one messes with him. I wish I had realised from the start just how much danger I was in. I plan to make his life hell, but sometimes, when the tension and anger become too much, two people find other ways to take it out on one another that don’t involve arguments. I am not looking for a protector, but Ambrose becomes everything I didn’t know I needed. It still won’t make life any easier.

In order to save up money for my marital home, I go to great lengths to book five surgeries in order to treat my array of ailments and illnesses on the same day just so I can save up on the money meant for my painkillers. Because of that, I become a living legend in the hospital. But one day, I see my girlfriend, Jayne Atkinson, who's a penniless nobody like me, chatting with someone else in the VIP area of the hospital. For some reason, I decide to trail behind Jayne secretly. Jayne and her friends keep chatting with each other without a care in the world. "Why is it that rich women like you love acting in a drama where you fall in love with the commoner? Both you and Bianca do the same thing! Seriously, Jayne, when are you telling that guy the truth?" Jayne merely shrugs back. "Honestly speaking, Bianca is the only one who's ever fallen for Edison. The reason why I decided to date him is that I was worried that Bianca would break my childhood friend's heart by seeking Edison out." The answer leaves me rooted to the spot. My mind begins buzzing loudly. Bianca Lambert is my ex-girlfriend who has dumped me all of a sudden. Back then, everyone mocked me for punching above my weight and called me a pathetic loser trying to climb the social ladder. Bianca kicked me out of her life by dumping a glass of red wine onto me. Since then, I just want to be with a regular woman, whom I can spend the rest of my life with. Who would've thought that I've gotten tricked by another woman instead?

“My brother would kill you, Roman. Hell, I shouldn’t even be here!” He moves closer, blocking the exit. “He’s not here, and you’re not telling me to stop, Nikki. So, why don’t we stop lying to each other and admit the truth?" I glare at him. My heart’s slamming against my chest. “Which is what exactly?” A wicked smirk curves his lips. “That we want each other. Always have. No matter how badly we shouldn’t.” *** Ten years ago, I almost kissed the one guy I should’ve stayed away from, my brother’s best friend, Roman Hayes. But then he vanished from our lives and has somehow become the person my brother hates the most. I haven’t seen him in years. The last place I expect to find him is at a high-end gala where I’m meeting potential sponsors for my charity, dressed in a ridiculously expensive suit and reeking of sin—and somehow, he might be the answer to all my prayers. But there’s a catch: I’m not supposed to be anywhere near him, and the moment our eyes lock, I know I’ve made the biggest mistake of my entire life. He’s my brother’s ex-best friend, after all, and there’s a spark between us that’s never been extinguished, and a truth neither of us wants to admit. But some truths are darker than I could have possibly imagined, and some games are too wicked and wild to be entertained. This man might just destroy my life in ways I never saw coming… And the worst part? I’ll enjoy every second of it.

Mira didn't come to Blackthorn Manor looking for anything. She came to disappear — to scrub floors, collect wages, and find a way to save her four-year-old daughter before her failing heart gave out. She wasn't supposed to be noticed. She definitely wasn't supposed to end up in the Alpha's room at midnight. But desperation makes decisions faster than logic does. Lucas Blackthorn is not what she expected. He sees through her lie in seconds and listens anyway. And something about the way he looks at her feels less like a first meeting and more like a recognition — something low and certain that neither of them has a clean explanation for. What Mira doesn't know yet is that this bond wasn't an accident. Someone arranged the night that started all of this, seven years ago in Duskfen territory. Someone has been waiting ever since for Iris to exist. And the thing that is slowly killing her daughter is tangled in a bloodline that powerful people buried for a reason. She came here to stay invisible. That's no longer an option. Some secrets protect you until they don't. Some bonds were built as weapons. And some truths, once spoken out loud, are the only thing that can save the people you love.
