Introduction
Namun, semuanya berubah pada hari aku melihat suamiku yang biasanya tenang dan pendiam, menyudutkan "saudara perempuannya" ke dinding, dengan marah menuntut, "Kamu memilih menikah dengan pria lain waktu itu. Apa hakmu untuk meminta apapun dariku?!"
Saat itulah aku menyadari betapa dalamnya dia bisa mencintai seseorang—cukup untuk membuatnya menjadi gila.
Menyadari posisiku, aku diam-diam menceraikannya dan menghilang dari hidupnya.
Semua orang berkata bahwa Christopher Valence telah kehilangan akal sehatnya, putus asa mencari mantan istrinya yang tampaknya tidak berarti. Tidak ada yang tahu bahwa ketika dia melihat Hope Royston di lengan pria lain, rasanya seperti ada lubang yang tercabik di hatinya, membuatnya berharap bisa membunuh dirinya di masa lalu.
"Hope, tolong kembali padaku."
Dengan mata merah, Christopher berlutut di tanah, memohon dengan rendah hati. Hope akhirnya menyadari bahwa semua rumor itu benar.
Dia benar-benar sudah gila.

Chapter 1
Di sebuah Presidential Suite di Hotel Golden Sands, Elsa Miller menatap pria yang tidur di depannya, merasa bingung sejenak. Rasa pegal di tubuhnya, goresan di leher dan dadanya, pakaian yang berserakan di lantai, dan beberapa kondom besar semua menunjukkan bahwa dia telah terhubung dengan pria itu dengan cara ini. Elsa menahan rasa tidak nyaman, melangkahi pria itu, dan berjalan tanpa alas kaki ke kamar mandi. Setelah cepat-cepat mencuci muka, dia berganti pakaian dan bahkan menyalakan sebatang rokok.
Di tengah asap rokok, dia diam-diam mengamati pria yang sedang tidur itu. Dia adalah Luke Taylor, 26 tahun, cucu tertua dari keluarga Taylor, konglomerat terbesar di dalam negeri. Selain itu, dia memiliki wajah yang bisa menyaingi selebriti pria papan atas. Luke tampan, bangsawan, dingin, dan tak terjangkau. Di Kota Maplewood dan bahkan di seluruh negeri, Luke melambangkan kekuasaan dan status.
Bagaimana mungkin dia tidak tahu bahwa memprovokasi pria itu akan membawa konsekuensi serius? Tapi dia tidak bisa diam saja dan melihat Luke menikahi Karen Miller bulan depan. Dia tidak bisa membiarkan Karen dan ibunya, Phyllis, mendapatkan apa yang mereka inginkan. Saat Elsa mengisap rokok ketiganya, Luke terbangun.
Dia melihat Elsa, yang mengenakan gaun merah dan dikelilingi asap dengan rambut panjang tergerai di pundaknya. Dia teralihkan sejenak. "Berapa yang kamu mau?" Dia bangkit, mengeluarkan buku cek dan pena dari tasnya, dan memintanya untuk menyebutkan harga. Dia masih ingat pengalaman indah semalam, dan noda darah di tempat tidur menunjukkan segalanya. Selama Elsa tidak meminta terlalu banyak, dia bisa memberinya apa pun yang dia inginkan.
Dalam belasan menit menunggu Luke bangun, Elsa memikirkan ratusan cara untuk mendekatinya. Dia menatap mata tajamnya namun hanya mematikan rokok di asbak dan memasang senyum cerah. "Aku tidak mau uang. Aku mau kamu menikah denganku."
"Apa?" Luke tampaknya mendengar lelucon terbesar, tertawa sinis, dan berkata, "Kamu pikir kamu wanita bangsawan? Kamu hanya sedikit lebih mahal dari pelacur di luar sana." Semalam, wanita ini menyamar sebagai pelayan, membawakannya air, membantu melepaskan mantel dan menggantungnya di lemari, lalu menanggalkan pakaiannya di depannya. Biasanya, dia tidak mudah membiarkan nafsunya menguasai, tapi semalam, dia kehilangan kendali saat wanita itu menerkamnya.
Dia harus mengakui bahwa Elsa memiliki wajah yang menarik, dan penampilannya sesuai dengan seleranya. Tapi senyumnya palsu, dan dia membenci wanita yang licik seperti itu. Elsa tahu siapa dia dan jelas berencana memanfaatkannya saat dia mabuk.
Jika itu wanita biasa, dia akan merasa malu oleh kata-kata menghina Luke. Tapi Elsa tidak peduli. Senyumnya seakan terpaku di wajahnya. Dia tidak merasa sedih atau malu karena sejak ibunya diusir hingga mati oleh Phyllis dan Karen, dia kehilangan semua emosi.
Dia menggoyangkan ponselnya di tangan. "Aku punya video kejadian tadi malam. Memang awalnya aku lebih proaktif, tapi kamu memaksaku beberapa kali kemudian. Merilis video itu mungkin tidak akan baik untuk harga saham Taylor Incorporation."
"Aku takut hanya saat kamu masih hidup kamu bisa merilis video itu." Meskipun Luke seorang pebisnis, dia telah terlibat dengan dunia kriminal sejak muda. Mengamati tekad Elsa yang tak tergoyahkan, dia dengan santai membuang buku cek. Dia lalu meraih bungkus rokok dari Elsa, menyalakan sebatang rokok, dan berkata, "Ingat, mengakhiri hidupmu semudah menginjak semut."
Dia membenci diintimidasi, namun Elsa berani mengancamnya. Tampaknya bagi Luke, Elsa mungkin tidak menghargai nyawanya.

“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.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
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.”
——-

Savannah Hart thought she was over Dean Archer—until her sister, Chloe announces she's marrying him. The same man Savannah never stopped loving. The man who left her heartbroken… and now belongs to her sister.
A weeklong wedding in New Hope. One mansion full of guests. And a very bitter maid of honor.
To survive it, Savannah brings a date—her charming, clean-cut best friend, Roman Blackwood. The one man who’s always had her back. He owes her a favor, and pretending to be her fiancé? Easy.
Until fake kisses start to feel real.
Now Savannah’s torn between keeping up the act… or risking everything for the one man she was never supposed to fall for.
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.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.

I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
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.
The War God Alpha's Arranged Bride
Yet Alexander made his decision clear to the world: “Evelyn is the only woman I will ever marry.”

To make matters infinitely worse, the furious (and frustratingly handsome) “accidental hostage” is Enzo Marchesi, Vegas’s most notorious mafia Don.
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."

Crossing Lines
Noah
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 command, I wanted to fight him.
From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.
But this wasn’t just about the game anymore.
He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…

I knew it was him.
He didn’t know who I was. Not yet.

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.
