Introduction
—Mía —gruñó, apoyando la frente contra la mía—. Maldita sea, Elira… eres mía.
***
Elira Vassile juró no enamorarse jamás de un encantador bastardo… hasta que uno apareció con traje de diseñador y lengua venenosa.
Médica investigadora brillante, lógica hasta el extremo y emocionalmente blindada, Elira está acostumbrada a brillar en quirófanos, no en fiestas. Pero en Virelia, la ciudad donde el poder seduce más que el amor, todo puede cambiar con una copa de vino y una mala decisión.
Killian Deveraux, socio joven de uno de los bufetes más poderosos del país, es conocido por su belleza letal, sus conquistas… y su ego descomunal. También es el cuñado del esposo de su mejor amiga. Desde el primer cruce de miradas con Elira, el juego comienza: frases afiladas, tensión insoportable y un deseo que ninguno de los dos quiere admitir.
Pero cuando una propuesta laboral inesperada los obliga a trabajar juntos, lo que empezó como confrontación se convierte en una batalla de voluntades, química y secretos que arden bajo la superficie.
En un mundo donde todos parecen tener una doble cara, ¿podrán sobrevivir al juego… sin perder el corazón en el intento?

Chapter 1
Elira Vassile
La ciudad de Virelia tenía ese tipo de elegancia irritante que lo envolvía todo. El aire olía a perfume caro, las copas nunca estaban vacías y la sonrisa de la gente era siempre dos tonos más brillantes que sus intenciones.
Y allí estaba yo. Odiaba las fiestas. Odiaba el ruido innecesario, las risas falsas y las miradas cargadas de expectativas que nunca terminaban bien. Pero lo que más odiaba eran las parejas felices. Y aquí, en medio de la terraza dorada del Altavie Royal Club, todas parecían sacadas de un maldito anuncio de perfumes.
La terraza estaba iluminada por una mezcla perfecta entre luces cálidas y velas flotantes. El tipo de lugar donde la gente no solo iba a celebrar… sino a ser vista. Y ahí estaba yo: una doctora de bata blanca convertida en adorno elegante por una noche.
Ajusté el tirante de mi vestido negro y caminé con una copa en la mano como si todo me diera igual, aunque por dentro contaba los segundos para desaparecer.
Lo mío eran quirófanos, datos, microscopios. No vestidos entallados, no conversaciones banales, y definitivamente no las parejas felices que parecían multiplicarse como plagas con cada paso que daba.
El vestido que usaba era sencillo, pero lo bastante entallado para que no pasara desapercibida. Y aunque mi maquillaje era impecable, mi expresión no dejaba lugar a dudas: estaba allí por obligación, no por gusto.
Los únicos motivos por los que había aceptado asistir a aquella fiesta eran tres: Primero, había prometido una copa; segundo, Dana era la única persona por la que valía la pena tragarse un cóctel social y tercero, el vino, pero todo lo demás era tortura.
El lugar estaba repleto de gente estúpidamente feliz, vestida con más brillo del necesario, y sonrisas que olían a hipocresía. Virelia y su glamour asquerosamente perfecto. La ciudad del lujo, los secretos… y los idiotas con trajes de diseñador.
—Vino, tinto, seco, no me lo mezcles con jugo, por favor —le dije al camarero con la paciencia de una cirujana en guardia.
—No pongas esa cara, Elira. Pareces a punto de anestesiar a todos con cloroformo —dijo Dana, apareciendo a mi lado como siempre, sonriente y peligrosamente radiante.
—¿Y no sería hermoso? —murmuré, bebiendo como si la copa pudiera salvarme la vida—. Sesenta minutos. Contados.
Dana rodó los ojos.
—No puedes estar así de amargada toda la noche. Prometiste venir y socializar por lo menos una hora —me respondió Dana con una mueca—. Además, el vino es excelente. Y no puedes esconderte toda la noche, porque estás espectacular.
—Y tú prometiste una copa tranquila, no un desfile de compromisos, embarazos y parejas felices a punto de reproducirse como conejos, además, no necesito estar espectacular. Solo necesito estar cuerda.
Dana rodó los ojos y bebió de su copa.
—Estás exagerando.
—Estoy observando —corregí con sorna—. Y te aviso que la próxima pareja que me diga “tú serás la próxima en casarte” se va directo al piso con una patada que le voy a dar en la espinilla.
Dana rio con descaro.
—Bueno, entonces necesito advertirte sobre un peligro mayor. Killian está aquí.
—¿Killian? ¿Quién es Killian?
—Ya te olvidaste, Killian Deveraux. Mi cuñado. Alto, guapo, con cara de pecado y alma de cabrón. Es socio del bufete donde trabaja Mikel. Te lo advierto. Sonríe como un ángel y piensa como un demonio. Y aunque es bueno para pasar un rato, no le veo madera de esposo.
Parpadeé.
—¿Ese es el “encantador bastardo” del que me hablaste?
—Sí. Él mismo. Tiene fama de romper más bragas que contratos. Y tú... tú eres demasiado racional para ese tipo de energúmenos.
Sonreí por primera vez en la noche.
—Tranquila. Ya tuve mi dosis de idiotas encantadores. No necesito una recaída.
—Eso digo yo, pero tiene ese efecto tipo café fuerte: amarga, pero adictiva.
—Yo soy más de té —respondí, bebiendo con calma.
Lo que no dije era que mi instinto ya se había activado. Que, a pesar del barullo, había sentido una mirada clavada en mí desde hacía minutos.
Y que esa incomodidad… me estaba gustando más de lo que me gustaría admitir.
Dana rio.
—Solo digo que si ves a un tipo demasiado perfecto para ser real, probablemente es él. Y sí, ya le advertí que no se te acercara. Está prohibido.
—¿Por ley?
—Por experiencia.
Arqueé una ceja.
—¿Y me lo adviertes porque…?
—Porque tú eres imán para hombres con complejo de dios, y él tiene uno tan grande que ya debería pagarle impuesto. Además, eres mi amiga, no quiero que te rompan el corazón.
—Tranquila. No estoy interesada.
—Perfecto. Porque él sí lo estará.
Dana solo levantó su copa y se marchó a saludar a otra pareja.
Suspiré, me giré hacia la barra y pedí otra copa de vino. Bebí otro sorbo. En el fondo de mi copa había más calma que en toda la terraza. Y aun así… la incomodidad me empezó a rodear como una ola invisible. Algo, o alguien, me estaba observando otra vez. Lo percibía.
Pero no me giré. No todavía. Porque si algo tenía claro, Elira Vassile, era que en Virelia, cuando sientes que el lobo te mira… más vale que no le muestres los dientes tan rápido.
De pronto sentí los vellos de mi cuello, erizarse, sentí esa clase de energía arrogante, cargada de testosterona premium y perfume caro, que no se confundía con nadie.
Y cuando habló… sí, la voz lo confirmó todo.
—Disculpa… ¿Eres parte del menú o simplemente la copa más tentadora de la noche?
Respiré hondo antes de darme la vuelta. Muy despacio. Como quien ya se está arrepintiendo de estar viva.
Y ahí estaba.
Traje negro, camisa blanca sin corbata, reloj de lujo, mirada azul intensa y una sonrisa tan cínica que debería venir con advertencia médica. El rostro perfecto para una campaña de Calvin Klein. El ego perfecto para una denuncia por acoso verbal.
—¿Killian Deveraux? —pregunté con una ceja en alto.
Él sonrió como si fuera una buena noticia.
—Culpable. ¿Nos conocemos?
—No. Pero las advertencias vuelan rápido en esta ciudad.
—¿Ah, sí? ¿Y qué te dijeron? ¿Que soy irresistible?
—No. Que eres un encantador bastardo con complejo de dios. Y por lo que veo, eso fue quedarse corta.
Killian rio. No una risa falsa. Una risa genuina. Le divertía. Peligroso.
—¿Y tú eres?
—La doctora que no tiene tiempo para tus frases de catálogo ni tu cara de “ya me acosté contigo en otra vida”.
Killian chasqueó la lengua y me recorrió con la mirada. No me inmuté. Estaba acostumbrada a hombres que creían que mirarte era lo mismo que tocarte. Pero este… este me estaba mirando como si quisiera diseccionarme. No por partes, sino por fases.
—¿Doctora, eh? —dijo con un tono que contenía tanto respeto como intención de desvestirme con la lengua—. Eso explica muchas cosas.
—¿Cómo qué?
—Como porqué tienes cara de que si te tocan sin consentimiento, amputas. Y por qué me estás gustando tanto.
—No me interesa gustarte.
—Eso es lo que lo hace mejor.
Apreté la copa con fuerza.
—¿No tienes algo que hacer? ¿Cómo, no sé… firmar demandas o romper otro corazón?
Killian apoyó un codo en la barra y se acercó un poco más.
—No suelo romper corazones. Solo los dejo... mejorados.
—Claro. Y también vacunados, espero.
—Touché —murmuró él, divertido.
Di un paso atrás, sin apurarme, pero con la firmeza de quien sabe que está bailando sobre un campo minado.
—Si estás buscando una mujer que te aplauda las frases baratas, hay varias en este salón dispuestas a fingir un orgasmo con solo ver tu cartera.
—¿Y tú no?
—Yo no finjo nada. Y si alguna vez llegas a tenerme jadeando... será porque lo vales, no porque lo fingí.
Killian se quedó en silencio. Un solo segundo. Después sonrió, con ese brillo de peligro en los ojos.
—Doctora… acabo de enamorarme un poquito.
—Pues qué lástima —repliqué girando sobre mis tacones—. Yo acabo de recordarte que me dan alergia los idiotas bien vestidos.
Y me marché. Con la espalda recta. Con el corazón acelerado.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
From Best Friend To Fiancé
I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.
“I don’t just want to fuck you—I want to keep you. You’re my favorite sin, and I’ll commit it again and again until you understand you’re mine.” His lips twitched a little. “You’ve always been mine, Savannah.”
——-

To survive it, Savannah brings a date—her charming, clean-cut best friend, Roman Blackwood. The one man who’s always had her back. He owes her a favor, and pretending to be her fiancé? Easy.
Until fake kisses start to feel real.
Now Savannah’s torn between keeping up the act… or risking everything for the one man she was never supposed to fall for.
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?

I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.

Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
