Introduction
—Por favor, Henry...— gimió ella. —No pares...
—Déjame sentirte apretando alrededor de mis dedos, Melina—. Gruñó Henry, su control pendiendo de un hilo. Ella era hermosa, un ángel pecaminoso todo sonrojado y mirándolo con esos ojos vidriosos y achocolatados, rogándole que pusiera fin a su dulce miseria.
***
Grecia fue el refugio que eligió para sí misma.
Amigos increíbles, una carrera que adoraba y una hija a la que amaba con todo su corazón.
Pero una isla paradisíaca no fue suficiente para mantener el pasado alejado, y volvió para atormentarla como el más apuesto de los pesadillas.
Él era su secuestrador, un mafioso y un asesino con sangre en sus manos.
La lastimó más allá de las palabras, pero regresó con un fuego renovado para hacerla suya de nuevo.
¿La perdonaría por mentirle?
¿Olvidaría ella su terrible pasado?

Chapter 1
El hombre estaba allí con un traje, con su maletín en las manos y otra bolsa a sus pies, encogido entre gatos siseantes, perros aullando e incluso un loro chillando. Nia estaba segura de que se sentía como un pez fuera del agua, y por la expresión molesta en su rostro, no le gustaban los animales. Pero los lunes y martes eran los días más ocupados ya que seguían al fin de semana, y hoy no era la excepción.
—Buenas tardes —dijo ella media hora después. Él recogió sus pertenencias del suelo con un poco de torpeza y se dirigió hacia ella—. ¿Puedo ayudarle, señor? —Ella miró de su rostro a su maletín con una mirada inquisitiva. No estaba allí para una cita con una mascota, ni parecía ser un proveedor médico.
—Sí, por favor, estoy aquí para ver a la Sra. Melina Karagianis.
—Quiere decir Melina Calimeris. La doctora está en cirugía en este momento. No estará disponible durante la próxima hora, pero la Dra. Gabriella está disponible. ¿Dónde está su mascota? —Le lanzó una mirada aprensiva.
Él sacó un gran sobre, y con una expresión seria, lo revisó dos veces, y como por arte de magia, su rostro se suavizó un poco y soltó un suspiro.
—Lo siento, tengo que verla, es un asunto crítico.
—¿Puedo tomar el mensaje? —Ella miró el sobre y luego al hombre.
—No, en este tipo de negocios, la persona misma tiene que firmarlo. Soy del Juzgado en Atenas... —Casi saltó del susto cuando un gruñido enfadado vino de la puerta principal, mientras un hombre arrastraba un perro enorme adentro. Miró con desdén en la dirección de la pareja y luego volvió a la chica—. Tengo que entregar este sobre en persona y tomar el próximo vuelo de regreso al continente, así que por favor, ¿puede verificar con ella?
—¿Juzgado? ¿Para qué? —Ella abrió los ojos y ladeó la cabeza, igual que los perros en la clínica.
—Mire, señorita, tengo una larga lista de personas que necesito ver para mañana por la noche, y no puedo permitirme perder el vuelo de Santorini. Así que por favor, ayúdeme aquí.
Ella asintió y la mirada angustiada que él le dio la hizo levantarse como un robot.
—Dame un minuto. —Después de eso, desapareció dentro de la clínica, regresando poco después—. La doctora Calimeris pidió si podría darle quince minutos, y ella saldrá, así su asistente puede encargarse y terminar por ella.
—¡Gracias! —Y con consternación volvió a su asiento entre dos gatos y sus dueños, mirando con recelo a esos malvados alienígenas que escupían y siseaban. No era un amante de los animales, se notaba en su rostro, y los animales le estaban poniendo nervioso.
Unos veinte minutos después, una mujer pequeña con un uniforme verde claro, lleno de patrones de huellas de patas, apareció en la recepción. Nia pudo ver cómo sus ojos se iluminaban con esperanza.
—¿Nia? ¿Dónde está él? —Pero antes de que la chica pudiera responder, lo encontró, mirándola como si fuera un oasis en el desierto y retorciéndose en su asiento. Era un hombre de mediana edad, demasiado delgado y nervioso para su gusto, y algo le decía que no traía buenas noticias—. ¿Puedes traerlo a mi oficina, por favor?
—Claro, señorita Calimeris. —Él vino rápidamente una vez que Nia le hizo una señal—. Por favor, la doctora hablará con usted en su oficina. ¡Sígame! —Ella abrió una puerta y le mostró el camino, luego se disculpó y se fue.
—Sra. Karagianis. —No pudo evitar notar su sorpresa al mencionar su apellido. Parecía que rara vez lo usaba—. Solo necesito que firme aquí y me iré. Soy del Tribunal de Familia, y ha sido notificada —dijo, entregándole el sobre y señalando dónde debía poner su nombre.
—¿Por quién? ¿De qué se trata esto? —Él sintió pena por ella, y luego vio las líneas de tensión en su rostro. Podía ver que estaba cansada, y él estaba allí para añadir a su carga. No es que fuera su culpa, no. Ese era su trabajo, y a veces tenía que dar malas noticias a buenas personas.
También notó, por la forma en que mordía su labio inferior, que se puso nerviosa con la noticia. Pero bueno, ¿quién no lo haría? Parecía una persona agradable, de esas que te traen paz. Te sientes bien solo con estar en su compañía. Una mujer tan hermosa con esos ojos cálidos y achocolatados. Así que, fuera lo que fuera, esperaba que estuviera bien.
—Lo siento, no tengo esa información, pero todo lo que necesita está dentro del sobre. —Ella lo agarró de él y firmó con manos temblorosas—. Eso es todo, señora, gracias por su tiempo. —Antes de que ella pudiera decirle algo, él se fue apresuradamente, dejando a la mujer ansiosa y a esos molestos animales atrás.
Melina se sentó de nuevo en su silla, mirando el sobre como si dentro de él estuviera su pasaporte al infierno. De todos los escenarios que podía suponer, solo uno le venía a la mente, y sería desastroso. Su vida estaba a punto de dar un giro desagradable, y no sabía si estaba lista para enfrentar todos los cambios que seguirían.
Había hecho una vida para sí misma en la isla, y no quería renunciar ni dejar todo atrás. Había hecho un hogar allí, tenía su negocio, era voluntaria y ayudaba en el refugio local de animales. Ahora todo por lo que había luchado tan duro podría desmoronarse en un segundo.
Con un suspiro fuerte y temiendo incluso tocar esa maldita cosa, se acercó a ella. Su temblor empeoró, y la dejó caer dos veces sobre el escritorio, incapaz de sostenerla, así que la dejó allí y agarró un pequeño abrecartas, rasgando el papel marrón y sacando el contenido. El documento tenía unas cuantas páginas adjuntas, y ella no fijó sus ojos en ningún lugar de esos papeles a propósito. Tenía miedo de ver lo inevitable, como si eso le sirviera de algo.
Melina reunió su valor y hojeó el documento. No necesitaba leer todo para encontrar lo que buscaba. Por mucho que quisiera mantener la calma, su almuerzo de antes se revolvía como olas en su estómago, y estaba segura de que se iba a enfermar. Dos abogados firmaron los papeles, y sus nombres le eran familiares, pero no podía ubicarlos en ese momento. El nombre y el sello en el papel eran del Juzgado de Atenas, sección de Asuntos Familiares, y otro del Tribunal de Familia de la Ciudad de Nueva York anexado, solicitando su presencia en Atenas en dos semanas.
La Tierra se congeló en el espacio y el aire a su alrededor se detuvo cuando el corazón de Melina se hundió en su estómago. Una vez que sus ojos se posaron en el nombre de quien presentó la petición de tutela y custodia exclusiva del menor, Evangeline Karagianis, su hija. Eso no era justo. Eve era su fuerza y felicidad. ¿Por qué esta mierda ahora? Le daba la impresión de que la vida la odiaba por alguna razón malvada.
Sintió su cabeza nadar, y todo giraba como un carrusel. En un movimiento rápido, bajó la cabeza entre las rodillas, y sin siquiera darse cuenta, gotas de lágrimas se acumularon en el suelo. Pero no se desmayaría. No era una opción; tenía que estar alerta y pensar en lo que tenía que hacer.
—¡Mel? ¿Qué pasa, estás pálida como una hoja de papel! —Saltó en su silla cuando escuchó la voz preocupada de Gabriella en la puerta.
—¡Él me encontró, Gabs! ¡Él me encontró!

“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.

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.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
