Chapter 1
Alessandra bajó del auto en el estacionamiento de la fábrica de chocolate, traía una sonrisa tatuada en el rostro y un sobre blanco en las manos.
No había día más feliz para ella que ese día, su corazón rebozaba de felicidad, pues iba a ser madre. Luego de tres meses de feliz matrimonio con Marcelo Ferreira, ahora iba a darle su primer hijo y no había palabras para describir lo que sentía.
Con ilusión y alegría, subió hasta la última planta del edificio, quería darle una sorpresa a Marcelo, una doble sorpresa, sin imaginar que la sorprendida sería ella. Un frío le recorrió la espalda, su mano se detuvo sobre el pomo de la puerta, mientras descubría la verdad.
—No le mientas más, Marcelo, y dile la verdad. ¡Dile que no la amas! Dile que soy yo la mujer que has amado todo este tiempo, ten el valor de decirle que te casaste con ella por despecho.
—¡Cállate!
—No, Alessandra tiene derecho a saber que solo ha sido mi reemplazo. Si te casaste con ella fue porque yo elegí quedarme con Joseph, no porque la amabas.
Alessandra apretó la mano sobre el pomo de la puerta, sus lágrimas mojaron sus mejillas, mientras el nudo en la garganta amenazaba con asfixiarla. Esto tenía que ser una pesadilla, no podía ser cierto. Marcelo no podía haberle mentido de esa manera. ¡No podía ser tan cruel, tan despiadado!
—Tú y yo sabemos la verdad, Marcelo. Mi esposo era lo único que se interponía entre los dos, pero él ya no está…
—Miranda.
—Sí, Marcelo, Miranda, la única mujer a quien amas. No te niegues más a esta pasión, no te niegues a aceptar esto que nos quema las entrañas.
—Estoy casado.
—Y no me importa, puedo esperar paciente a que te divorcies de ella, no soy celosa, Marcelo. Y ahora soy una mujer libre ya nada puede interponerse entre los dos y nuestro amor.
Alessandra se mordió el labio con fuerza hasta probar el sabor metálico de su propia sangre, aquella conversación le estaba rompiendo el corazón y abriendo los ojos a la realidad.
Marcelo no la amaba, nunca lo hizo.
Su matrimonio era una artimaña, un acto impulsivo motivado por la venganza y el despecho hacia otra mujer. Una mujer que había rechazado sus avances, desatando su ira y su sed de revancha. Y ella, ingenua, había sido el peón perfecto en su juego retorcido de pasiones y resentimiento.
El dolor se apoderó de ella, envolviéndola en un torbellino de emociones encontradas. La ira, la tristeza y el desengaño se entrelazaron en un baile macabro dentro de su alma destrozada e incapaz de continuar escuchado las palabras de aquella mujer, decidió correr, correr tan lejos como le fuera posible, aunque, nada podía cambiar la verdad.
Y, mientras ella corría por los pasillos, su corazón latía desbocado, su mente se nublaba por el dolor que amenazaba con ahogarla. Cada paso que daba era un eco de las dudas que le habían surgido ante la petición de Marcelo, pero había estado tan enamorada, que no le había importado y terminó por relegar a segundo plano sus dudas y sus temores. Las lágrimas empañaron su visión, en su pecho, el peso de la traición la aprisionaba, convirtiendo cada respiración en un susurro de desesperación.
Ella no significaba nada para Marcelo.
Mientras tanto, en la oficina, Marcelo se apartó de Miranda y la enfrentó. La había escuchado y ahora era su turno de dejarle las cosas claras. Él había creído que ella era el amor de su vida, pero ahora, cada palabra era un puñal que cortaba la ilusión en pedazos, dejando al descubierto la realidad que se ocultó tras el velo del engaño.
—Estás equivocada —le dijo—. No eres la mujer que amo, Miranda.
—Mientes —respondió ella, con los ojos llenos de lágrimas
—Lo que sentí por ti jamás fue amor, ahora lo sé.
—¡Eso no es verdad! —gritó Miranda, aferrándose a la esperanza que se desvanecía entre sus dedos—. Dices eso porque no quieres lastimar a Alessandra, pero no puedes negar lo que hay entre nosotros. No pudiste olvidar que…
El sonido estrepitoso del teléfono interrumpió las palabras de Miranda, la mujer frunció el ceño con impaciencia y estuvo a punto de arrebatarle el aparato a Marcelo; sin embargo, antes de que pudiera hacerlo, él se apartó bruscamente y contestó la llamada.
—¿Qué sucede, Kelsi? —le preguntó a la recepcionista.
—Es la señora Alessandra… ella salió corriendo del elevador, me parecía que lloraba.
El cuerpo de Marcelo tembló y se tambaleó, por lo que se agarró al escritorio.
—¿Estuvo aquí?
—Sí, pero eso no es lo peor, señor.
Marcelo sintió el corazón zumbarle en los oídos.
—¿Qué ha sucedido?
—La señora sufrió un accidente saliendo del estacionamiento y está siendo llevada al hospital…

“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.

No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.

I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
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.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
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.”

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.
