Introduction
Quando ela deixa o país, começa a trabalhar para uma das maiores empresas do mundo, e embora se odeie por sentir isso, não consegue tirar o ousado italiano de seus pensamentos, não consegue controlar seu coração acelerado, muito menos as borboletas no estômago toda vez que ele está por perto.
Ela tenta não desejá-lo por 3 razões:
1 - Ele é rico.
2 - Ele é seu chefe, e
3 - Ela acha o comportamento desse magnata italiano muito suspeito.
Quanto mais ela tenta se afastar, mais ele insiste em se aproximar.
Entre eles, o que falará mais alto: o amor ou a razão?

Chapter 1
(Renata Pellegrini - Estados Unidos)
As cores azuis dominavam tudo, mal dava para ver as partes de metal, o vidro espelhado cobria tudo como uma folha, com certeza tem mais de quinze andares aqui.
Respiro fundo, não faz nem duas horas que pisei em terra firme e já sinto como se estivesse me afogando.
Queria que meus pais estivessem vivos, queria muito poder trazê-los comigo, dar uma vida melhor para eles. Queria muito vê-los sorrindo, mesmo que fosse só mais uma vez...
Não é hora de ter pensamentos tristes! Dou um tapa nas bochechas e estufo o peito, agora é hora de ter coragem.
Abro as portas e seguro firme as alças da minha bolsa, preciso encontrar o gerente e entregar a carta de recomendação, minha professora me disse que assim que eu entregasse, estaria praticamente contratada, tudo o que eu precisava fazer era dizer o nome do amigo dela: Matteo Valentini.
Será que esse homem é parente do Filippo? Eles têm o mesmo sobrenome, mas nunca encontrei nada sobre esse Matteo. Não importa, só quero ser contratada, e se esse nome vai garantir isso, que assim seja.
Quando entro no prédio, o interior é muito mais luxuoso do que o exterior. Preciso me controlar. Este ambiente agora será meu local de trabalho. Tenho que tratá-lo como qualquer outro lugar.
Caminho até o balcão, minhas pernas estão instáveis, mas à medida que me aproximo, meu maxilar fica mais rígido.
"Como você pode ser tão incompetente, seu imbecil..."
"Bom dia!" interrompo a garota loira que está me olhando de cima a baixo.
"Quem é você?" ela pergunta, e posso ler nos olhos dela que ela acha que alguém como eu nem deveria pensar em pisar ali. "Você sabe que aqui é a Computing Diamond?"
Me seguro para não revirar os olhos, me dá tanta raiva ser tratada assim, por que pensei que este lugar seria diferente?
"Sou Renata Pellegrini, vim aqui para..."
"Ah, sim, Carol me disse que você viria."
Então ela deve ser a gerente deste lugar, não gostei dela, mas o que posso fazer? Aceitar e torcer para ser contratada, não tenho nem cinco centavos no bolso, imagine alguns dólares.
"Que bom que você já estava ciente da minha chegada..."
"Não só a sua, outras pessoas também foram informadas de que estariam aqui hoje."
Que mulher rude! Respira, Rê, você precisa desse emprego, e já deveria estar acostumada a lidar com pessoas assim.
"Entendo, então imagino que você saiba que vim para a entrevista para a vaga de..."
"Vá embora."
"O quê?" Pisquei os olhos em confusão.
"Você por acaso é surda? Você não está apta para trabalhar aqui, olhe para suas roupas, você nem sequer passou maquiagem. Volte para o lugarzinho de onde você veio."
"Por favor, não faça isso, eu vim de longe, me disseram que eu já estava praticamente contratada, que a entrevista seria apenas uma formalidade, larguei tudo o que tinha para vir aqui, por favor, me dê uma chance, prometo que você não vai se arrepender!" Digo tudo de uma vez, meu coração batendo forte no peito. Pressiono a língua no céu da boca, não posso chorar aqui, não na frente de todas essas pessoas.
Ela me olha com um sorriso maldoso no rosto, sob seu olhar me sinto inferior, como alguém pode ser tão arrogante?
"Então você está disposta a aceitar qualquer serviço?"
Estou? Vim aqui para ser assistente pessoal do Filippo, mas parece que nem vou pisar aqui amanhã, não quero passar fome.
"Sim," não consigo esconder a decepção na minha voz.
"Ok, há uma vaga de limpeza aberta, se você quiser, é sua."
Que droga! Não quero desmerecer quem trabalha como faxineiro, porque de certa forma a empresa só funciona porque eles limpam o ambiente, mas é que estudei tanto para conseguir um bom emprego, e no final vou acabar como faxineira.
Não importa o que me digam, isso é frustrante, queria trabalhar na frente de um computador, não limpando banheiros.
"Sim, eu quero," respondo. "Quando começo?"
"Agora mesmo, venha comigo."
Caminhamos até o final de um corredor, parando em frente a uma porta de alumínio. Bem, parece que nem tudo é tão luxuoso.
"Aqui é o vestiário dos funcionários."
Ela entra e eu a sigo, ela abre a porta vinte e três e me entrega a chave do armário.
"O uniforme que você vê aqui é tamanho P, deve servir em você, vamos te vestir logo."
Vou até o armário e pego as roupas: um jaleco verde, um avental branco com dois bolsos frontais e calças do mesmo tecido do jaleco. Não consigo identificar o tecido, mas não é um tecido grosso.
"Ah, não disse meu nome, sou Veronica."
"Prazer em conhecê-la," estendo a mão por educação, mas ela revira os olhos.
"Vamos direto ao ponto, ontem à noite, o Sr. Valentini me pediu para limpar o escritório dele, como você pode ver, estávamos com falta de faxineiros. Ele ainda não chegou, quero que você limpe a sala dele adequadamente antes que ele chegue, não toque em nada e saia dessa sala em trinta minutos, estou clara?"
"Sim, senhora."
"Ótimo, ali está o material que você vai usar," ela aponta para outra porta de alumínio. "Use o elevador dos faxineiros e vá rápido."
Ela me deixa sozinha no vestiário, esperando que o destino não tenha mais surpresas negativas reservadas para mim.
Pego os materiais e vou para o elevador, esqueci de perguntar em qual andar fica o escritório do Sr. Valentini, vou apertar o último botão, seja qual for.

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.”

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?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.

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

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.

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.

Crossing Lines
Noah
I was here to prove myself—

From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.

Breaking him down until he begged for what he swore he didn’t need.
This was not supposed to get personal, but every second he disobeyed made me want to claim him harder.
And if he crossed the line…
I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.
