She spent ten years chasing after the right brother, only to fall for the wrong one in one weekend. ~~~ Sloane Mercer has been hopelessly in love with her best friend, Finn Hartley, since college. For ten long years, she’s stood by him, stitching him back together every time Delilah Crestfield—his toxic on-and-off girlfriend—shattered his heart. But when Delilah gets engaged to another man, Sloane thinks this might finally be her chance to have Finn for herself. She couldn't be more wrong. Heartbroken and desperate, Finn decides to crash Delilah’s wedding and fight for her one last time. And he wants Sloane by his side. Reluctantly, Sloane follows him to Asheville, hoping that being close to Finn will somehow make him see her the way she’s always seen him. Everything changes when she meets Knox Hartley, Finn’s older brother—a man who couldn’t be more different from Finn. He's dangerously magnetic. Knox sees right through Sloane and makes it his mission to pull her into his world. What starts as a game—a twisted bet between them—soon turns into something deeper. Sloane is trapped between two brothers: one who’s always broken her heart and another who seems hell-bent on claiming it... no matter the cost. CONTENT WARNING: This story is strongly 18+. It delves into dark romance themes such as obsession and lust with morally complex characters. While this is a love story, reader discretion is advised.

“Waoh! Do I really slap him?” “Am I not going insane? Sh*t!” I say as I sit down on the floor, resting my back on the door. I'm still musing over the kiss when there's a stiff thump at the door. I assume it's Lucian, but I take notice it's Kim’s voice. Kim is the maids’ head and she extremely dislikes me for winning the boss’s heart. She'd been working for them since when she was a kid. Her mother also was a maid to them before she passed on. Since she'd nowhere to go, she begged the boss to permit her to be their maid. Then Mary had already won the boss’s heart and had been the one attending to her. When Mary left, she thought that she would be chosen but I was chosen instead of her. She'd vowed to deal with me. She turned herself into my enemy. “What do you want?” I say. “Common open the door!” she orders and I furrow my eyebrow as if she's with me. “Miss, if you can’t tell me what you want from me, just leave,” I yell. “Because I'm not opening any door,” I add as I bark at her. "Keep barking, well done, the boss said that you must be the one to cook lunch for him and his mother. You've charmed both mother and son. Very soon, I'll be the one to break the charms,” she says, then I hear her swearing and footsteps because she's a loud walker. I'm so shaken at the news she conveys to me. “Is that hoodwink….hmm, I mean that handsome…no …that dense…what should I call him…desperate…yes…that dense desperate brat, intend to overburden me? Chai! How could he? …” I say but I'm disrupted by the ring of my cell phone. “Get into the kitchen right now!” he orders. I'm taken aback. ‘How did he get my phone number within a short time? It must be the jealous brat… I'll surely deal with her,’ I murmur inwardly. Standing up, I begin to pace up and down, thinking of what to do. The only thing that moves my mind is ‘Escape!’ I quickly saunter to my dresser and grab my light traveling bag. I pack up some of my favorite clothes and shoes. I don’t even bother to change. I don’t want to draw attention from the other maids. I quickly zip up the traveling bag; take my phone and dash toward the stairs. Sneaking out without making any sound, I haven’t taken five steps when I hear his voice as he calls my former name. “Nicole!” “Sh*t!” I swear. **** She was dispatched for the first time by the Mafia lord, Lord Sir Gabby Anderson, and she was apprehended, she managed to escape. After eight years, she was sent once more, this time to confront his mother. He returned to tend to his mother's needs. Can Emily elude her past with him? Continue reading! Leave your thoughts, rate, and savor the tale...

“The only crime I ever committed wasn’t murder, Robert. It was simply loving you. I don’t think anyone has ever loved you the way I did. I loved you to the point I was willing to sacrifice myself for your happiness. But not anymore. I’m over all that sh*t now. Sooner or later, you’ll regret what you’ve done, and you’ll realize what a huge mistake you made. And by then, it might just be too late.” Lily had once believed she could endure anything for love—even a loveless marriage. Bound by a contract to her high school crush-turned-husband, Robert, a cold and distant billionaire, she sacrificed her dreams, her desires, everything for his success. But when she became pregnant—a violation of their marriage agreement—her world shattered. Betrayed by Robert, who chose his ex-lover over her and accused her of a crime she didn’t commit, Lily was sentenced to years in prison, losing everything, including her freedom and even giving birth while in prison. After escaping her past, Lily fought to rebuild her life, creating a future for her children far away from Robert’s shadow. Just when she thought she had found happiness, Robert reappears, desperate for a second chance. Now, Lily faces an agonizing choice: forgive the man who broke her heart to a thousand pieces or protect the new life she’s worked so hard to build without him. Will love be enough to heal the wounds of the past, or will her scars run too deep to ever truly heal?
