Alcohol and heartbreak are definitely not a good combo.Too bad I learnt that a little too late. I’m Tessa Beckett and I painfully got dumped by my boyfriend of three years.That led me to getting drunk at a bar and having a one-night stand with a stranger.Before he would see me as a sl*t the next day,I paid him for the s*x and deeply insulted his ability to please me. But this stranger turned out to be my new boss!

She was his motivation. Madison Connor, the only woman he had ever loved, the woman he had hurt, the woman he had left. Billionaire Damien Daniels had three things he needed to accomplish in his life. First, he was going to get to the root of his past. Second, he was going to make the Connors pay. Third, the last thing, he didn't even know. But he knew there was something remaining, a wrong he needed to right. And it was staring straight at him. A dark truth that risked breaking him apart, that could mar his existence. In all these though she was at the center of it all, Madison Connor. Lord help him. She was the one thing he could never have. His enemy's little sister. Eyes like the sea, strawberry blonde curls and those dotted freckles atop her nose; she was his obsession. She was the beginning of his downfall, his damnation and motivation. *** He was the one man she couldn't avoid back then, and the man she couldn't resist. Damien Daniel, her childhood crush who never looked her way even once. Her brother's enemy. She was too small for him, not s*xy or beautiful enough for him, too shy to even talk to him. Their attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as she ached to be his, she feared the pressure of his demands. *** Submitting to each other meant they had to break so many rules. Could they? Would they? Their love was forbidden. Their intertwining past threatening to tear them apart. A bumpy ride. So many obstacles and trials. It took days, months and years, but what's meant to be will always be!

"For years, I belonged to him. Not his mate. Not his love. But his bedmate. His Gamma. His shadow in the night. Alpha Calhoun made sure no man dared touch me, no wolf dared look at me. I was his possession, his secret, his sin wrapped in skin. And I endured it all—his rough hands, his dark devotion, his kisses that tasted like fire and chains because at least, for a while, he was mine. Until she returned. His destined mate. His so-called true love. And suddenly, I was nothing. Cast aside, silenced, left to wither in the shadows of a love that had never been mine to claim. But the thing about being claimed by a man like Calhoun… is that he never truly lets you go. ""Try to leave me, Elodie,"" his voice had been a snarl against my throat, his grip bruising my waist. ""I'll burn down every border, tear apart every wolf that stands in my way, until you crawl back to me. You're mine, even if the Moon Goddess herself wants to rip you away."" He didn't know then that I already had one foot out the door. And when I finally left his pack… I took more than just my broken heart with me."

"Te sientes tan jodidamente bien." una voz profunda, que conocía demasiado bien, gruñó. Observé a mi esposo Daniel y a mi asistente Esme dándose duro justo en mi mesa. Mis manos volaron a mi boca mientras la realización me golpeaba, el shock de verlos y escucharlos me hizo retroceder, tropezando contra la mesa, y empujé la silla hacia atrás. "¿Oíste eso?" Rápidamente esquivé y me alejé de la vista de cristal. "¿Qué?" Daniel siseó impacientemente. "Creo que escuché-" Esme se detuvo, "Olvídalo, apúrate ya." "No hay prisa, todavía hay tiempo antes de que la perra aterrice." Su declaración fue como una bofetada en mi cara, mis oídos zumbaban. "¿De verdad?" "Sí, cariño, unas rondas más para nosotros." "Una vez que ella regrese, no puedo tenerte." "Lo sé, pero es solo por un tiempo, sabes que eres tú a quien amo, es su dinero lo que me mantiene." Su risa mezclada recorrió la habitación, viajó por mis nervios y hizo que mi corazón se hundiera en mi estómago. *** Cuando Elsie descubre la aventura entre su esposo y su asistente de confianza, su mundo se desmorona. La doble traición del hombre que amó durante años y la asistente en la que confiaba la deja devastada y casi sin esperanza. Pero después del shock inicial, Elsie recupera su fuerza. Contacta a un abogado para prepararse para el divorcio y toma una decisión audaz: cambiar de trabajo y unirse a la empresa de su rival de toda la vida, Albie. Lo que comienza como una búsqueda de consuelo se convierte en algo mucho más peligroso. La implacable persecución de Albie hace que Elsie se sienta cada vez más atraída hacia él, a pesar de su determinación. ¿Perderá su identidad en una pasión que nunca esperó, o encontrará un nuevo camino hacia la sanación?

Fate can be a funny thing. One minute, you are the beloved daughter of a powerful alpha, and the next, you're nothing more than a tool used to join forces with another strong pack. And if you don't go along with what is expected of you, the one who is using you for personal gain will make your life a living hell and destroy anything that is precious to you. Because of this, Denali Ozera finds herself married to the cold and ruthless Rosco Torres, alpha of the Crystal Fang pack and enemy not only to her, but her entire family. But by some weird twist of fate, Rosco isn't what others say he is, and he is even willing to help Denali get back everything that was meant to be hers. Together, Denali and Rosco devise a plan to destroy Denali's father and her stepmother and sister. All Rosco asks for in return is Denali's mind, body, and soul.
