El autobús en el que viajaban mi suegra Carmen y mi hijo Nacho volcó en una carretera de montaña. El vehículo quedó colgado de un árbol al borde del abismo, a punto de desprenderse. Mi esposo Sergio Mendoza era el capitán del equipo de rescate más cercano, pero la policía descubrió que se había llevado a todo su equipo para acompañar al hijo de su primer amor, Camila López, a un acto escolar. En mi vida anterior, convencí a un amigo mío, Leo Méndez, de que me ayudara a ir al colegio y sacar a rastras a Sergio para que rescatara a Carmen y a Nacho. Pero Camila, avergonzada porque su hijo no ganó el primer puesto, cortó toda relación con él. Además, lo despidieron del equipo de rescate. Cuando Carmen y Nacho salieron del hospital, Sergio nos ató a Leo y a mí y nos arrojó por el acantilado. —¡Si no fuera por ustedes, no lo habría perdido todo! En esta vida, el hijo de Camila consiguió su primer lugar… pero a Sergio ya no le quedaba sonrisa alguna.

A bet. One scandal cost Alora Harper almost everything. She was a star student. All she ever cared about was working hard to achieve her dreams until Caden Steele popped into her life and almost ruined her. Now, she is determined to never let her guards down again.

Esme Wynter’s marriage to Lennox Mercer was written like a business plan. He gave her protection and power; she gave him peace and a convenient alliance. She told herself she didn’t need love. He made it clear he didn’t believe in it. But when the test site collapsed, Lennox threw himself over her without hesitation— and Esme’s last memory was his heartbeat against hers before everything went dark. When she opened her eyes again, she was surrounded by blinding white light, unable to move forward, and unable to return. Then a guide told her she and him were not fated, and their connection had become a curse, one that doomed them both whenever they tried to love. And then came the rules: You must not fall in love with him. You must ensure he finds his destined partner in each lifetime. You must not intervene beyond your designated role. Break them, and one—or both—will die. Fail all five lifetimes, and your souls would be erased forever. Each time Esme awakens, she forgets the last. Each time, she meets him again— as a king, a freedom fighter, a general, a mercenary. And each time, her heart betrays her before her mind can remember. And in his own distant eyes, there is the hidden craving for her love, like a man trying to recall a dream he’s not supposed to have. She was never meant to fall for him again. But perhaps… he never stopped loving her.

El año en que renací fue el año en que comenzó la guerra de los vampiros. Lo primero que hice fue deshacerme del cachorro. El cachorro de mi compañero. El del Alfa Lucas. En mi última vida, él encubrió a su amiga de la infancia, Sarah, cuando ella se apareó con un vampiro. Tomó a mi propio cachorro de sangre pura y lo intercambió con el de ella, un bastardo mestizo. Me tildaron de traidora. Me torturaron hasta la muerte en una mazmorra de plata. Y mi propio cachorro, con el cerebro lavado por Sarah, se paró junto a mi cadáver y me dijo que me pudriera en el infierno. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, estaba embarazada de tres meses. No lo dudé. Fui directamente a la cabaña de la bruja y bebí el veneno que me dio. Pero mientras una vida se agotaba, descorché otra botella: una costosa Poción Mímica. Esta simulaba el latido del corazón de un cachorro y hacía desprender el aroma de una madre en cinta. Lucas quiere un cachorro para que cargue con la culpa del crimen de Sarah. Bien. Le voy a dar un espectáculo. Esta vez, no tengo ninguna debilidad.

Mi mundo terminó cuando murió el hermano de mi compañero. Caspian, Alfa de la manada Shadowmoon, acogió a la viuda, Vivian. Dijo que era su deber proveer para ambos hogares. Envió a su cachorro a la Academia de élite Lunaris. Envió a mi cachorro a la tóxica Zona Gris y lo llamó "construir resiliencia". Le regaló la choza Blackwood y le compró vehículos blindados. Me llamó derrochadora. Dijo que mi cachorro era una carga. Nos arrojó a los barrios bajos de Omega. Mi cachorro murió luchando por una corteza mohosa de pan manchado de plata. Morí poco después. Me abrieron el cráneo en un callejón oscuro por unas cuantas monedas. Cuando mi espíritu se desvaneció, finalmente vi la verdad. Cada paso de nuestra ruina fue su diseño. Me desperté jadeando, de nuevo en mi antigua cama en la manada Shadowmoon. La luna estaba alta. Mañana es mi Ceremonia de Vinculación con Alfa Caspian. Esta vez, sabía qué hacer.

Caspian Henderson has been rigid and restrained throughout his six-year marriage to Juliet Bennett, and their life together feels dull and uneventful. Even their nights together feel like a chore with a set time. He arrives on the dot, does what he came for, and leaves. Everyone in their social circle believes he's the kind of man who will never bend for any woman. That was true until a month ago, when he returned with an orphaned girl who claims to have saved his life. Her name is Willow Everly. She's cold and unapproachable—the polar opposite of Juliet, who has been doted on all her life. Juliet's girlfriends attempt to warn her. "That young woman looks like a handful. You'd better keep an eye on your husband." Juliet beams. "Don't worry. Caspian doesn't even waver when I tease him. There's no way he'd be interested in that delicate little thing." Yet in just a few days, she finds out just how wrong she is.

The third year after I got diagnosed with intermittent amnesia, I happened to overhear my husband, Lucien Rook, chatting with his friends. “Lucien, Anneliese loses her memories every couple of months, and you keep making us impersonate you to live with her. Aren’t you afraid that one of us might take it all the way one day?” “What’s there to be afraid of?” Lucien laughed uninhibitedly, swishing the alcohol in his glass. “Annie is cold and distant. As long as you guys don’t tempt her, she won’t have any such desires. “But I’m warning you now. You can act all you want, but you can’t ever sleep with her. Once I’ve had my fun, I will be going home to her.” For three years, every time I lost my memories, Lucien was not the one who would hold my hand and embrace me, or even sleep with me in the same bed. In three years, I had lost my memories nine times, and nine men had pretended to be my husband. What they did not know was that my amnesia had been cured two years ago.

Greed is a powerful feeling that has changed the world over thousands of years. Science, religion, and magic have built a new era and there are some who want to end it all, for the sake of a dying world. It is only up to certain beings to awaken the world and cleanse the lurking evil within the desires of the current rulers, or to wipe out those who can't contribute any good to a new rising world.

The hotel called, politely reminding me that the condoms used last night were unpaid and had been charged to my membership card. I was stunned. I'd been working late until midnight and hadn't set foot in any hotel. I confronted my husband, the only person who knew my card code. Nathan Phelps looked at me, bewildered. "Honey, that hotel costs over $10,000 a night. I'd never go there. It's probably a system error. Someone must have mistyped the card number. I'll file a complaint tomorrow." Unconvinced, I called my best friend, who managed the hotel. "Tracy, check who Nathan was with at the hotel last night. I'm catching him red-handed."
