Introduction
Ketika tragedi melanda dan dia diambil darinya secara tragis, dia tidak bisa menerimanya. Putus asa, dia menjelajahi setiap sudut bumi, menolak untuk percaya bahwa dia telah pergi. Bertahun-tahun kemudian, secercah harapan muncul—sebuah bundel kecil kebahagiaan, menunjuk ke arah seorang pria tampan, dan dengan polos bertanya, "Mama, itu Papa ya?"
Dalam kisah patah hati dan penebusan ini, mereka dipertemukan kembali, cinta mereka diuji oleh waktu dan cobaan yang memisahkan mereka. Akankah mereka menemukan ketenangan dalam pelukan satu sama lain lagi, atau akankah luka masa lalu selamanya menghantui masa depan mereka? Masuklah ke dalam romansa yang penuh gejolak di mana cinta mengalahkan segalanya, dan di mana kesempatan kedua untuk kebahagiaan memanggil di tengah-tengah gema pahit manis dari masa lalu mereka yang berbagi.
(Saya sangat merekomendasikan sebuah buku yang sangat menarik hingga saya tidak bisa meletakkannya selama tiga hari tiga malam. Buku ini sangat mengasyikkan dan wajib dibaca. Judul bukunya adalah "Setelah Bercinta di Mobil dengan CEO". Anda bisa menemukannya dengan mencarinya di kolom pencarian.)

Chapter 1
Malam.
Dalam kegelapan pekat langit malam, kilat membelah kegelapan diikuti oleh gemuruh guntur, sementara hujan deras mengguyur.
Isabella telah berlutut di luar gerbang utama kediaman keluarga Cooper selama tiga jam penuh.
"Pergilah, Nona Wallace."
"Bisakah Anda meminjamkan saya 600.000 dolar?...tolong, saya pasti akan mengembalikan uang itu!" Isabella memohon.
Pelayan itu, dengan wajah tanpa ekspresi, menjawab, "Seperti yang semua orang tahu, keluarga Wallace bangkrut dengan utang mencapai miliaran. Di saat kritis seperti ini, siapa yang berani meminjamkan uang kepada Anda?"
Isabella dengan cepat menjelaskan, "Uang ini untuk rumah sakit, ini masalah hidup dan mati. Nenek saya..."
Sebelum dia bisa menyelesaikan kata-katanya, pelayan yang memegang payung itu sudah berbalik dan pergi.
Dan tuan rumah keluarga Cooper tidak pernah sekali pun muncul.
Keluarga Cooper tampak benar-benar acuh tak acuh terhadap hubungan masa lalu mereka dengan keluarga Wallace, meskipun kedua keluarga telah bertunangan dan Isabella akan menikah dengan keluarga Cooper pada akhir tahun.
Air hujan mengalir di wajah Isabella, membasahi seluruh tubuhnya, membuatnya terlihat berantakan, lelah, dan tidak berarti.
Kata-kata seperti itu tampak tidak pantas untuknya.
Isabella dikenal sebagai sosialita New York, elegan, tenang, dan cantik adalah kata-kata yang digunakan untuk menggambarkannya.
Dia bangkit dalam keputusasaan, tetapi karena berlutut terlalu lama, kakinya mati rasa, menyebabkan dia tersandung dan jatuh ke dalam genangan air.
Ponselnya berdering--
"Halo?"
Suara ibu tirinya, Judy, terdengar, "Isabella, kenapa kamu belum mengumpulkan uangnya? Apa kamu benar-benar berusaha? Nenekmu semakin parah!"
"Bisakah rumah sakit memberi kami lebih banyak waktu..."
"Apakah 600.000 begitu sulit bagimu? Hah? Jika kamu tidak bisa meminjamnya, jual sesuatu! Apa hidup nenekmu lebih penting, atau hidupmu? Dari yang aku tahu, New York punya jutawan yang bisa memberimu tujuh angka!"
Isabella hanya menjawab, "Aku akan segera kembali."
Namun, Judy terus mengomel, "Apa gunanya kamu datang ke sini? Yang penting adalah uangnya. Nenek sudah tua. Bahkan jika dia diselamatkan, dia tidak akan hidup bertahun-tahun lagi..."
Hujan semakin deras. Isabella menutup telepon dan bersiap untuk bangkit, tetapi sepasang sepatu hitam muncul di depannya.
Bersih, tanpa noda, dan sedikit mengkilap.
Sebelum Isabella bisa bereaksi, sebuah tangan muncul di depannya juga.
Tangan itu memiliki sendi yang jelas, ramping dan sedikit melengkung.
Melihat kebingungannya, pria itu menggerakkan jari-jarinya, memberi isyarat agar dia memegangnya.
Isabella mendongak dan perlahan mengikuti celana lurus pria itu, kainnya, ikat pinggangnya, kemejanya, dasinya, jakun yang menonjol, bibir yang sedikit mengerucut...
Akhirnya, pandangannya menetap pada wajah tampan pria itu.
"Seorang gadis lembut seharusnya tidak diperlakukan begitu kasar," kata pria itu dengan lembut dengan suara dalam dan magnetis. "Bangun."
Payung di tangannya miring ke arahnya, langsung menghalangi hujan deras.
Di belakangnya, sebuah mobil sport biru tua terparkir.
Tangan Isabella diam-diam jatuh. Pada saat itu, dia benar-benar ingin meraih tangannya.
Karena aura yang terpancar dari pria ini benar-benar memikat.
Seorang pria bangsawan... dia bisa menyelamatkannya dari air dan api.
"Tuan Lawrence," kata Isabella dengan sopan, "terima kasih."
Kemudian, dia menekan rasa mati rasa di kakinya dan berdiri.
Sebastian menarik tangannya dan memasukkannya kembali ke dalam saku celananya, mengangkat alis sedikit, "Mungkin Nona Wallace terbiasa dengan kehidupan mewah dan tidak mengerti bahwa pria tidak suka ditolak."
"Tapi, mengingat situasi saya saat ini, tidak pantas bagi saya untuk terlalu dekat dengan Tuan Lawrence."
Sebastian tertawa pelan, mendekat dan menatapnya, "Bagaimana jika... saya ingin memiliki cerita dengan Nona Wallace?"
Isabella tidak berani menatap matanya; matanya terlalu dalam, terlalu gelap, dan sekali dia terjerat, dia tidak akan bisa melepaskan diri.
Saat dia berbalik untuk pergi, suara Sebastian mencapai telinganya, "Enam ratus ribu, baru saja disetor ke akun rumah sakit."
Willow-brook Estate, Kamar Utama
Isabella berdiri tegak di depan sofa di Willow-brook Estate, lampu kristal di atas kepalanya memancarkan cahaya yang menyilaukan matanya.
"Aku akan membayarmu," katanya pelan. "Aku bisa menulis surat utang."
Sebastian, dengan kaki panjangnya yang disilangkan, bersantai di sofa, sambil memandanginya dengan malas. "Kedinginan?" tanyanya.
"Hmm?"
Sebastian berdiri, sosoknya yang menjulang tinggi sepenuhnya menutupi Isabella, napasnya menyentuh pipinya. "Pergi mandi dan ganti pakaian," perintahnya.
Isabella harus mundur selangkah untuk menciptakan jarak. "Maaf, Tuan Lawrence. Aku tidak terbiasa mandi di rumah orang lain."
"Jadi kamu punya kebiasaan berlutut di pintu dan kehujanan?"
Rasa malu dan ketidakberdayaan menyebar di seluruh tubuhnya. Isabella menggigit bibirnya. "Aku..."
"Jangan gigit bibirmu sendiri," ujung jarinya menyentuh sudut mulutnya. "Dengan bibir seindah itu, seharusnya mereka dicium."
Sentuhannya membuat tubuhnya bergetar. Pria ini... benar-benar membuat gila!
"Tuan Lawrence, tentang uangnya..."
Sepertinya menyebut kata "uang" berulang kali membuatnya tidak senang. Alis Sebastian sedikit berkerut. "Uang yang aku keluarkan, aku tidak mengharapkan untuk mendapatkannya kembali."
"Lalu apa yang Anda inginkan?"
"Apa yang kamu pikir aku bisa inginkan, dan apa yang kamu punya untuk ditawarkan?"
Isabella menundukkan kepalanya dan melihat tubuhnya sendiri.
Dia benar-benar basah kuyup; gaun chiffon putihnya menempel di tubuhnya, jelas memperlihatkan pakaian dalamnya, menonjolkan lekuk tubuhnya yang sempurna, pinggangnya ramping dan mudah digenggam. Rambut hitamnya tergerai, menambah daya tarik.
Yang dia miliki hanyalah tubuh ini.
Mengingat kondisi kritis neneknya di rumah sakit dan kata-kata ibu tirinya...
Isabella menutup matanya dan saat dia membukanya lagi, senyum menggoda muncul di bibirnya. "Tuan Lawrence, apa Anda tertarik pada saya?"
Sebastian memanfaatkan kesempatan itu dan melingkarkan lengannya di pinggangnya, menariknya lebih dekat ke dadanya. "Dengar baik-baik, Isabella. Yang ingin aku dukung adalah seluruh hidupmu."
Isabella tertawa. "Tuan Lawrence mungkin terlalu murah hati dengan uang dan tidak memahami tren saat ini. Tidak ada yang mendukung seorang wanita seumur hidup."
"Benarkah? Hmm?" jawab Sebastian. "Menikahlah denganku, dapatkan surat nikah, bukankah itu cukup?"
Tidak peduli seberapa tenang dan terkendali Isabella, kata-katanya membuatnya panik.
Sebastian benar-benar ingin menikahinya!
"Apakah Tuan Lawrence kekurangan wanita sampai sejauh itu?" tanya Isabella terkejut. "Ini benar-benar tidak terduga."
"Aku kekurangan Nyonya Lawrence, bukan wanita."
Isabella berdiri di sana dengan canggung.
"Pikirkanlah," Sebastian menundukkan kepalanya, poni jatuh dan sebagian menutupi wajahnya. "Bagaimanapun, kamu tidak banyak kehilangan."
"Baiklah." Isabella mengangguk. "Tuan Lawrence, aku akan mempertimbangkannya."
"Transaksi selesai," katanya, dengan senyum tipis di sudut bibirnya. "Apa yang ingin kau panggil aku?"
"...Suami," jawabnya.
Di bawah atap orang lain, Isabella harus menundukkan kepala dan bersikap fleksibel. Tiba-tiba, pinggangnya mengencang saat dia ditarik ke pelukan hangat, disertai aroma rumput segar yang samar. Isabella bisa merasakan otot paha yang kokoh.
"Gadis yang baik," Sebastian menghapus tetesan air yang terkumpul di dagunya. "Apa pun yang kamu inginkan, aku bisa memberikannya."
Isabella kaku, tidak berani bergerak sembarangan. "Jadi, kapan kita akan mendaftarkan pernikahan kita?"
"Besok pagi."
"...Baiklah."
Begitu suaranya jatuh, bibir Sebastian mendarat di tulang selangkanya.
"Puaskan aku," dia menatapnya, "Nyonya Lawrence-ku."
Dia melingkarkan lengannya di lehernya dan duduk di pangkuannya. "Aku penasaran... posisi seperti apa yang kamu suka?"
Sebastian menyipitkan matanya.
Tanpa menunggu jawabannya, Isabella dengan rela menawarkan bibir merahnya, menatap tajam ke dalam pupil hitam pekat Sebastian.
Tentu saja, tepat saat dia hendak menyentuh bibirnya, dia dengan jelas melihat... ketidaksukaan yang tidak disembunyikan di matanya!

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.”

For Enzo, this is the ultimate security breach. But the fiery, unpredictable tattoo artist is the most intriguing thing to happen to him in years. To stop his crew from “neutralizing” the threat, he makes an impulsive claim: she’s his fiancée.

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."

Will Booker be able to find the source of the threat before it's too late?

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.
