Chapter 1
In un caffè nel cuore pulsante della capitale, Maggie Miller si sedette per osservare chiaramente l'uomo che stava incontrando per un appuntamento, e rimase leggermente sorpresa.
Era inaspettatamente bello—sorprendentemente bello!
I suoi lineamenti erano impeccabilmente scolpiti, e emanava un'aria di elegante privilegio che sembrava naturale per lui.
Questo era il decimo appuntamento al buio di Maggie in quasi tre mesi.
Non potendo evitarlo, doveva presentarsi, altrimenti sua madre avrebbe minacciato di fare uno sciopero della fame o peggio.
L'uomo con cui era attualmente in un appuntamento al buio superava di gran lunga tutti gli uomini precedenti che aveva incontrato, specialmente per quanto riguardava l'aspetto.
Avendo cercato un partner per il matrimonio così tante volte, Maggie non era timida. Andò dritta al punto, "Quando pensi di sposarti?"
Prima di arrivare, Maggie aveva deciso che finché l'uomo non fosse stato una completa delusione, avrebbe saltato il processo di frequentazione e sarebbe andata direttamente al matrimonio.
Non era forse lo scopo di un appuntamento trovare un partner per il matrimonio?
Le continue minacce di sua madre di farsi del male potevano essere placate solo se Maggie si fosse finalmente sistemata.
L'uomo rimase momentaneamente sorpreso, poi rise, "Signorina, questo è il nostro primo incontro, non pensi di essere un po' di fretta?"
Il suo sorriso era particolarmente affascinante, come il caldo sole di una giornata di marzo, e Maggie, particolarmente colpita dai bei lineamenti, quasi inciampò nel territorio delle fan.
Maggie si ricompose e disse, "Oh, giusto, quasi dimenticavo di presentarmi. Sono Maggie Miller. L'agenzia di incontri deve averti parlato di me. Ho venticinque anni, sono una freelance che gestisce una piccola bancarella di gioielli al mercato notturno. Il mio reddito è di circa seimila, a casa siamo solo io e mia madre, ci sosteniamo a vicenda. Ho avuto una relazione in passato ma attualmente sono single, in salute e senza cattive abitudini."
Dopo una breve pausa, Maggie aggiunse con enfasi, "E sono pronta a sposarmi in qualsiasi momento."
Maggie era stata praticamente costretta da sua madre ad andare a questo appuntamento al buio, e l'uomo seduto di fronte a lei era stato trovato da sua madre tramite un servizio di incontri online.
Si aspettava l'ennesimo strambo con un aspetto sgradevole o una grande differenza di età, una pancia da birra e valori incompatibili—il tipo troppo comune sui siti di incontri.
Contrariamente a queste aspettative, era raro incontrare qualcuno che avesse effettivamente un aspetto decente.
Una volta che Maggie finì il suo rapido riassunto, l'uomo sembrò afferrare la situazione.
Sorrise leggermente, la sua voce liscia come seta, "Allora, come ti ha descritto il sito di incontri? Non hai paura di incontrare un truffatore?"
"Il matrimonio è una scommessa," rispose Maggie, arricciando le labbra. "Questo è il mio decimo tentativo di matchmaking. Mi hanno detto che lavori per una società quotata in borsa, Visionary Futures Group, che sei di qui, un orfano, con i piedi per terra, laborioso e in fretta di trovare un coniuge—il tuo cognome... Florez..."
Nel momento in cui fu menzionato Florez, la mente di Maggie era già altrove.
Quando era uscita di casa poco prima, sua madre aveva cercato di riempirla di dettagli sul suo appuntamento al buio, ma Maggie non aveva davvero ascoltato.
"Fiorello Flores," disse l'uomo con un sorriso caldo, "nato e cresciuto nella capitale, senza casa ma con una macchina, affitta un appartamento, guida una modesta Chevrolet del valore di poco più di ventimila, un reddito stabile, attualmente single, senza dipendenze e in buona salute."
Maggie Miller presentò la sua carta d'identità, guardò Fiorello e disse, "Signor Flores, saresti disposto ad andare all'ufficio del registro matrimoniale con me adesso per ottenere un certificato di matrimonio? Posso mantenermi da sola, non spenderò i tuoi soldi, possiamo dividere i costi e non c'è bisogno di una cerimonia di nozze—manteniamolo semplice e prendiamo solo la licenza."
Dopotutto, cosa c'era di più pratico che condividere una vita insieme? Questo era solo per placare sua madre inizialmente. Per tutto il resto, avrebbero preso le cose un passo alla volta. Se fossero stati davvero compatibili, avrebbero semplicemente continuato.
Molti degli amici di Maggie Miller si erano sposati tramite appuntamenti al buio, e la maggior parte di loro stava andando eccezionalmente bene.
La semplicità, credeva, era l'essenza della vera felicità.
Fiorello tamburellava distrattamente le dita sul dorso della mano, riflettendo sulla sua proposta.
Questa donna era venuta a un appuntamento al buio con la sua carta d'identità, così desiderosa di sposarsi?
Aveva già trent'anni e la pressione della sua famiglia per sistemarsi era intensa.
"Ti dispiace che non possiedo una casa? Con me, la vita potrebbe essere un po' dura," chiese Fiorello.
"Neanche io ho una casa," disse Maggie con sicurezza. "Senza il supporto dei genitori, è raro che qualcuno possa permettersi una casa a trent'anni. Lo capisco. Finché sei una persona decente e laboriosa, tutto andrà bene."
Maggie conosceva fin troppo bene i prezzi esorbitanti degli immobili nella capitale. Essendo una cittadina media senza grandi appoggi o acume finanziario, non aveva il diritto di pretendere una casa da qualcun altro.
Maggie tenne gli occhi su Fiorello e dopo circa quindici secondi, lo vide tirare fuori il telefono e fare una chiamata, "Potresti per favore portare la mia carta d'identità all'ufficio del registro matrimoniale?"
...
Un'ora dopo.
Maggie e Fiorello uscirono dall'ufficio del registro matrimoniale, con le licenze di matrimonio in mano. Solo allora Maggie fu colpita dalla consapevolezza della sua impulsività.
Aveva davvero sposato un uomo che aveva incontrato solo una volta.
Fiorello colse lo sguardo nei suoi occhi e le sue labbra si incurvarono leggermente, "Se stai avendo ripensamenti, non è troppo tardi per tirarti indietro ora."
Maggie ripose il certificato di matrimonio e lo guardò, scuotendo la testa con decisione, "Nessun rimpianto, signor Flores. Probabilmente hai del lavoro da fare, e io devo allestire la mia bancarella, quindi dovrei andare."
Si erano appena sposati, e ora si stavano separando?
Questa donna pensava davvero che fosse solo una questione di prendere un pezzo di carta?
Prendere il certificato e poi tornare alle loro vite separate?

I was here to prove myself—
One last shot at football, at freedom, at a future no one ever thought I’d deserve.
And then I met him.
Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.

From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.

He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

The mafia princess return
Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate
“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.
“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*
“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”
Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.
“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”
**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.
Well, here goes everything.
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
Mated by Contract to the Alpha

Instead, I found him with her. And their son.

Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.
