Zak Bagans Age

In my last life, my sister and I got adopted into two very different worlds. My mom? The "cool" type. Let me perm my hair in elementary school, signed off on a nose job in middle school, and shoved me toward one of Northport's richest heirs right after college. Ella's mom? Hardcore strict. Pulled her out of a fling with some delinquent and married her off to a quiet professor with a just-decent paycheck. Ella hated it. Wanted my life so bad. So when I ended up in the hospital pregnant, she used her shiny doctor title to kill me—and my baby. Then boom—I woke up, and we were back to adoption day. This time, she dove for the mom she thought handed me the dream. What she didn't know? That "cool mom" she worshipped was straight-up a monster.

Blurb The downpour washed the dark alleys of Ole Keating Village like Jupiter is wrathful towards the small town. Every time the lightning slashes the skies sending frightening thunders everywhere, the little boy’s strides become faster. “You’ve got nowhere to run, boy.” He harshly covered his ears just to get away from the taunting voice. The heavy rain somehow managed to wipe the blood from his body yet the pain unrelenting to grow. He fell on his knees resulting in another painful and ugly scratch to bleed. He looks like a beaten rag. He hasn’t eaten for days and the fearsome encounter he just escapes didn’t guarantee his safety. Even limping, he tried to get on his feet just to stumble and fall on the cold, hard ground again. A loud sound of the honking car filled his ears as the blinding light approaches closer. Surrendering, he lied flat on the ground wishing the pain finally ends. Sounds of boots slapping the water from the road come into his senses but he’s too weak to care. Someone’s checking on him but all that he can think of right now is the girl she left alone in the old warehouse. “S-save her…” he mumbled, tasting blood in his mouth, “Please save her.” The darkness pulled him and he finally gave in.

How could one escape a monster, when one has already been claimed? Fedora has done everything to prove that she can rule the pack as the Alpha of her pack, but all her plans are shattered when she is forced to attend the annual mate hunt and the ball. What could go wrong at a mate hunt, right? Well, anything can happen especially when it is held in rogue territory. But what’s worse is when she discovers that her mate is the most ruthless Alpha of the entire continent. “I refuse to be bound by a weakness and seen as only a commodity; I’ve never fallen victim to the superiors of my world than alone to fall for someone as heartless as Lorcan. Love is a delusion that I control.”

A marriage bound by a contract, and she obliged to accept it. He was her boss, and she was his secretary. She gave him everything he wanted, but her love was neglected, but when she decided to leave, he offered her a contract marriage to make her stay. But, someone occupied his heart, and he couldn’t offer anything to her except his talent on the bed. After their marriage, she endured the pain, but scheme after scheme destroyed her tolerance. Finally, she was ready to leave him, but suddenly he refused to let her go. Charles seemed to feel her sorrow, hugged her suddenly, and whispered, “Sarah, you can trust me. I won’t ever be with her. You are different from all those other women. I really want to be with you. If I didn’t, then I wouldn’t have cut off relationships with all other women. Don’t you believe me now?” Sarah sobbed gently, “If you have accepted that it’s over with her, why do you still keep her photo in your wallet? Why do you still miss her? Don’t you see how it’s hurting me?” Charles stared at her, “She’s just another woman from my past!” The atmosphere between them became suffocating, and Charles said in a low voice, “Sarah, have I told you that you could leave? Remember, I’m your boss. You are my secretary and my wife!” Angrily, Charles shouted again, “Sarah, I’m your man!” “Uh? My man?” Sarah laughed and stared at him. Tears began to slip down her cheeks, “Are you, my man? Mr. President, I am just a mere possession of yours and never become your wife! Set me free, I’m begging you!”

The two of them had long been crossing paths with each other in awards shows and galas and other social events, and fates seemingly decided that they’ve had enough. One encounter led to another, and unbeknownst to them, they’ll become two important pieces and a part of each other’s life. In the face of too many adversaries and challenges that will test their love and relationship, will they be able to escape unscathed? Would their love be enough to keep them together? Or will they give it up in order to protect their interest and survive in this crazy and scary world of showbiz? “Love is not easily hindered, nor restrained. It could not be stopped or contained for it is untamed.”

Yesterday she was nobody, but today she had the chance to be the queen of the town.  Yesterday she was just a normal twenty-five-year-old with a lot of responsibility and debt that was greater than the hours she worked, but today the opportunity was right in front of her that would alleviate all of her financial worries. The only thing she needed to do was to say "Yes" to her boss and the world would be on her feet. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that held the power to change her miserable fate. This was her second and last chance to say yes to happiness, life, and love. The only problem was she needed to marry her ruthless, cold, heartless billionaire CEO, whom she loathed more than the one-bedroom trash apartment she was sharing with her sister. Now the decision depends on the next word she was going to say. The next morning, either she would have another world in her palm, or she would continue to have this pathetic life. Only time will tell.

Everyone in town knows Jeffrey Williams—the hometown star who went from small productions to Broadway and television fame. But after years in the spotlight, Jeff has returned home, craving the quiet of familiar streets and the comfort of community theater. Daniel Lewis, the assistant stage manager, never expected his latest show to come with a front-row seat to his longtime crush. Shy, meticulous, and still nursing the wounds of a past relationship, Daniel wants nothing more than to keep his head down and do his job. But when Jeff’s piercing blue eyes land on him, the stage lights aren’t the only thing leaving him breathless. As rehearsals stretch into late nights and the line between performance and reality begins to blur, Jeff and Daniel find themselves drawn into a connection neither of them anticipated. But with gossip swirling backstage, old insecurities rising, and Jeff facing new offers that could pull him away again, both men must decide— is this just a fleeting spotlight romance, or the start of something real when the curtain falls? A heartfelt, slow-burn M/M romance filled with stage banter, stolen glances, and the magic of love found in unexpected places.

We had been married for three years, yet my husband, Richard Thornton, who suffered from touch deprivation syndrome, still refused to consummate our marriage. Every time his condition flared up, he would only press his forehead tightly against the curve of my neck. I assumed he was saving himself for his first love, the woman who had left years ago. Then, I overheard him talking to his friends. "Stop teasing her next time. It makes her tense up every time." "Got it, Richard. But if you care about Valeria so much, why won't you touch her? It's been three years. Aren't you worried she'll leave you for someone else?" Richard shook his head. "You don't understand. The longer we're together, the harder it is to control myself around her. She's so delicate. I'm terrified I'll hurt her. As long as she's mine, I wouldn't care even if she slept with someone else first." His friends burst out laughing. "Richard, you're all talk. If you could really handle her being with another man, you wouldn't keep running to the hospital. You think we don't know what you're up to?" The next day, I found Richard's medical records. Visit after visit, he kept asking the same question, "How can I be gentler in bed? I don't want to hurt the woman I love."

"The only reason I said okay to this mating was for the sake of my Pack. Our relationship will only be a way to ensure peace between our packs. I don't like you. And I never will. So do not have any ideas." Ashly stared and asked,  "How is this fair to me?". "Life is unfair, Omega. I have a girlfriend. She is the one I will always love. You are just an inconvenience. I know how to get rid of you, and I will, after making sure the thwart between our packs won't ever be affected. I hate you, Ashly James. That's a constant."   Ashly, an Omega from the Shadow Pack, and Alex, an Alpha from the Moonlight Pack, are engaged to be mates as a peace treaty between the two packs that have been at odds for centuries. Ashly falls in love with the Alpha, even though Alex is rude. Alex doesn't want Ashly as his mate. He is in love with Jasmine from the Starlight Pack and does everything he can to make Ashly despise him and break off their marriage. Now, here, Ashly is waiting for her Alpha to come home to her from his secret lover. Will Alex realize Ashly's worth, or will Ashly get fed up with being stuck in a loveless marriage and decide to leave behind Alex, the only guy her heart yearns for? At last, Alex crossed his line when he slept with Ashly and made her pregnant. Life gets more difficult for Ashly when Alex leaves her after making her pregnant. 15 years later, Ashly lives in a small, rundown apartment in the worst part of the city with her 14-year-old son, who won't stop asking about his Alpha dad. What happens when Alex and Ashly meet?
