Sweet Love

Seven years ago, Emerald Hutton had left her family and friends behind for high school in New York City, cradling her broken heart in her hands, to escape just one person. Her brother's best friend, whom she loved from the day he had saved her from bullies at the age of seven. Broken by the boy of her dreams and betrayed by her loved ones, Emerald had learned to bury the pieces of her heart in the deepest corner of her memories. Until seven years later, she has to come back to her hometown after finishing her college. The place where now the cold-hearted stone of a billionaire resides, whom her dead heart once used to beat for. Scarred by his past, Achilles Valencian had turned into the man everyone feared. The scorch of his life had filled his heart with bottomless darkness. And the only light that had kept him sane, was his Rosebud. A girl with freckles and turquoise eyes he'd adored all his life. His best friend's little sister. After years of distance, when the time has finally come to capture his light into his territory, Achilles Valencian will play his game. A game to claim what's his. Will Emerald be able to distinguish the flames of love and desire to keep her heart safe? Or she will let the devil lure her into his trap? Because no one ever could escape his games. He gets what he wants. And this game is called... The trap of Ace.

"You ruined a five-thousand-dollar suit, Andrea Rostova. How exactly do you plan to pay for this?" When struggling art student Andrea Rostova spilled champagne on the "Prince of Steel," she expected to be fired. She didn't expect Maxwell Harrington to offer her a deal: play his fake fiancée to ward off an arranged marriage, and he would pay for her mother’s life-saving treatment. Andrea signed the contract, thinking she could keep her heart safe. But as the fake smiles turned into real passion, the boundaries of their arrangement blurred until Andrea was no longer just a pawn, she was in love. But Maxwell’s world is built on ice and secrets. Manipulated by a jealous ex-fiancée and his own deep-seated trust issues, Maxwell brutally casts Andrea out, believing her to be a gold-digging spy. Heartbroken and alone, Andrea discovers she is pregnant. Knowing the Harrington contract claims ownership of any heir, she disappears into the shadows to protect her child. Four years later, the secret is out. Maxwell, now hollowed out by regret, finds Andrea in a quiet coastal town and discovers the daughter he never knew existed. Furious at her disappearance but consumed by a possessive need to reclaim his family, he issues a cold ultimatum: return to his mansion for six months, or face a custody battle she can’t win. Forced back into his gilded cage, Andrea must decide if Maxwell is the man who broke her, or the one who will go "scorched earth" to protect them from the enemies closing in.

I have been through three marriages initiated by my stepmom in order to pay off my late father’s debt. This time around, I was betrothed to a disabled man, Shawn. According to my stepmom, Shawn was a useless cripple from an average-earning family so she signed me off to him without thinking twice, ignoring my tears and pleas. But guess what? I was surprised to see Shawn rise to his feet to do his manly duties to me on our wedding night. He was also the owner of the biggest group of companies in the country. Could he be the man of my dreams?

To drown away her emotional pain from a harsh breakup, Jayda went to a local bar to get wasted.

Despite his flaws, she had a passionate one-night stand with him, creating a bond that binds them forever and forging a connection that transcends fleeting moments.

“She was supposed to be a substitute. Now, she’s the one person he can’t live without.” Solana shifted at age five. A cursed, ancient wolf stirred in her body and for that, she was punished. Fed wolfsbane. Beaten down. Now, she’s a dying girl in a borrowed dress, replacing her sister as the bride of the Demon Alpha. Alpha Roman Stone feels nothing. His five senses have been muted for forever. His curse makes sure of that. Every Alpha in his bloodline dies before thirty unless they produce an heir. But Roman can’t even get aroused. Until her. The weak omega with the haunted eyes. The one he was never supposed to want. The moment he touches her... he comes alive. But she’s dying. And his bloodline is running out of time. And if he falls for her, he might lose everything.

"I'm an ordinary waiter, but I can see people's fate, including Shifters. Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm. I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species. I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate. Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother. --------------------------------------- “What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it. “Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain."

You may ask how I got in this position. The position where i;m in bed with my gay best friend, while his boyfriend watches with hungry eyes. Let’s just say... it started with a broken heart, a ruined plan, and one reckless, desperate request. I was supposed to lose my virginity to someone safe, someone I loved. Instead, I caught him cheating at the worst possible moment, right before I was about to hand him everything. In the aftermath, I asked the only person I trusted. My best friend Zain. The problem was... Zain's gay, and he wasn't single either. Now, pleasure, shame, and temptation blur into something I can't control. And the worst part? I don’t know if I want to stop. A filthy, emotional, no-holds-barred dark romance where first times are anything but innocent.

They call him Adrian Thorne—the bespectacled, razor-sharp CEO of Thorne Industries, heir to an empire, and the most eligible bachelor Valcrest has ever produced. Poised. Polished. Politically perfect. But Sera Vance knows the man beneath the mask. She knows Ash. The one who taught her to strip in front of a mirror and call it "survival training." The one who held a gun to her temple with one hand while the other traced the curve of her spine. The one whose back is a canvas of ink and whose mouth speaks sin like poetry. He was supposed to be just a mission. A means to an end. Instead, he became her obsession. Her tormentor. Her lover. Now Ash has returned to his gilded throne—clean-shaven, suited, and untouchable. He's running for office, courting power, and pretending Sera is nothing but a ghost from his past. But she knows something no one else does: The monster doesn't disappear. He just learns to wear a better suit. And he's not finished with her yet. Two faces. One man. And a woman who might just love them both to death.
