Introduction
—¿A dónde crees que vas?
—Allí. —gimoteo, señalando con la cabeza en dirección a los taburetes.
Él me mira fijamente, una mirada tan intensa que me hace estremecer. Trago saliva con fuerza, y él se inclina, sus labios cálidos cubren los míos. Gimo y agarro su camiseta, devolviéndole el beso. Conrad desliza su mano por mi espalda y la coloca en la parte baja para mantener mi cuerpo más cerca del suyo mientras nos besamos. Enrosco mis brazos alrededor de su cuello.
Una parte de mí ha estado ansiando su beso desde el primero. El beso es apasionado pero no forzado ni brusco. Es bastante perfecto. La mano libre de Conrad se posa en mi mejilla. Forcé mi lengua en su boca; necesitaba un poco más. A Conrad no parece importarle porque su lengua pronto baila en perfecta sincronía con la mía.
Camino hacia atrás, sin separarme de sus labios, hasta que mi espalda choca con un mostrador. Hay tantas emociones circulando en mí. Agarro su cadera y lo atraigo hacia mí. Conrad gime fuerte contra mis labios, y puedo sentir su erección contra mí. Está tan excitado solo por besarme. Yo estoy igual. Estoy excitada por primera vez en mucho tiempo.
**********
Una noche.
Un baile de máscaras.
Un apuesto desconocido.
Así es como todo comenzó, todo porque mi jefe me obligó a asistir para fingir ser su hija o me despediría.
Los ojos del apuesto desconocido se posan en mí en cuanto entro. Esperaba que se moviera ya que está rodeado de mujeres hermosas, pero no lo hace. En el momento en que decide acercarse, finalmente me doy cuenta de que no es un desconocido en absoluto. Él y su familia son dueños de la empresa para la que trabajo. Nunca puede descubrir quién soy.
Intento todo para evitarlo, pero nada funciona. Es difícil resistirse cuando me mira con esos ojos y esa sonrisa encantadora. Me rindo tratando de luchar contra ello, pasar unas horas con él no puede hacer daño, ¿verdad? Mientras mantenga mi máscara puesta, no necesita saber quién soy.
Nunca he sentido química de la manera en que la siento con él, pero no importa porque después de esta noche, desapareceré y él no tendrá idea de quién soy. Incluso si pasara junto a mí en la calle, no se daría cuenta porque lo que ve es una mujer que le atrae, una hermosa que encaja con todas las demás, pero en realidad no soy nadie. No soy nada especial. Así que nuestro tiempo juntos solo será un recuerdo.
Bueno, eso creía. No podría haber estado más equivocada porque todo lo que se necesita es una noche y todo cambia. Esperaba que me hubiera olvidado, pero parece ser lo último que hace.
No importa qué, nunca puede descubrir la verdad porque solo terminará decepcionado.

Chapter 1
Maya
Estoy sentada en mi escritorio en mi lugar de trabajo, tratando de mantenerme al día con la carga de trabajo que mi jefa me dejó esta mañana. Me sigo diciendo a mí misma que solo necesito aguantar un año más y podré dejar este lugar. Necesito el dinero para mis clases en línea. He logrado sobrevivir los últimos dos años; otro año debería estar bien.
Estoy ingresando información de los papeles en los archivos correspondientes en la computadora. Juro que a veces pienso que mi jefa desordena los archivos solo para fastidiarme.
—Maya, ven a mi oficina —demanda Meredith.
Necesito evitar poner los ojos en blanco. Entiendo que ella es la jefa, pero no hay necesidad de ser grosera y mala. No es de extrañar que pase por empleados a la velocidad que lo hace. En mi tiempo aquí, he visto a unas diez personas renunciar o ser despedidas por cosas tontas. ¡Lo he pensado más de una vez! Para ser más precisa, lo pienso al menos una vez al día, a veces más.
—Sí, Meredith —digo dulcemente.
Ojalá tuviera el valor de enfrentarme a ella, pero no lo tengo. Lucho con cualquier tipo de conflicto porque crecí en un hogar negligente y abusivo.
Pongo mi computadora en modo de suspensión y me dirijo a su oficina. Ella está sentada en su escritorio, impacientemente golpeando sus dedos sobre la mesa. Está actuando como si hubiera tardado una eternidad en llegar. Vine tan pronto como me llamó.
—¿Qué necesitas, Meredith? —pregunto suavemente.
No dice nada, al menos no al principio. En cambio, me mira de arriba abajo, casi como si me estuviera estudiando. Me está haciendo sentir incómoda.
—Sí, tú servirás —dice.
—¿Para qué? —pregunto, confundida.
—Asistirás al baile de máscaras benéfico este fin de semana en lugar de mi hija. Es importante que la gente crea que ella está allí, pero actualmente está fuera de la ciudad. Tienes la misma altura y el mismo color de cabello. Estarás con una máscara, así que nadie notará la diferencia.
"Fuera de la ciudad" es un código para rehabilitación. Su hija sufre de adicción. Entra y sale de rehabilitación al menos tres veces al año.
—¿Q-q-quieres que vaya al baile? —tartamudeo.
No me va bien en eventos sociales. Soy una solitaria que prefiere su propia compañía.
—Sí —responde, molesta.
—¿No puedes encontrar a alguien más? No me va bien en eventos sociales.
—No te estoy dando una opción, Maya. Si no vas, no vengas el lunes, así de simple —espeta.
No puedo permitirme ser despedida. Suspiro, —Está bien.
—Bien. Te quedarás tarde después de tu turno porque alguien vendrá con vestidos y máscaras para que te pruebes. Más te vale no avergonzarme. No te quites la máscara. Y no te preocupes por que alguien te reconozca porque el único lugar donde estará el nombre de mi hija es en la invitación y en tu asiento. Me he asegurado de que estés sentada con personas que nunca la han conocido, personas que no son de las que hacen pequeñas charlas. Habla cuando te hablen y nada más —dice firmemente.
—¿Necesito quedarme toda la noche?
—Sí. También harás una donación a nombre de mi hija. Escribiré un cheque para que lo lleves contigo.
—Está bien.
—Puedes irte ahora. Tienes mucho trabajo que hacer.
Ella agita su mano en señal de despedida. Sonrío y asiento, desapareciendo de su oficina. ¡No puedo creer que me esté obligando a hacer esto! Mi ansiedad estará por las nubes. No tengo otra opción, porque si me despiden, no tendré dinero para el alquiler, las facturas, la comida y las clases. Necesitaré encontrar una manera de superarlo. Será más fácil decirlo que hacerlo porque no suelo beber mucho. Mis padres me alejaron del alcohol de por vida. Tendré que hacer una excepción en el evento porque es la única manera de calmar mis malditos nervios.
Estoy aterrada de que alguien se dé cuenta de que no soy quien se supone que debo ser. Es un gran evento. Asisten los ricos y famosos. Lo organiza la familia dueña de esta empresa, junto con muchas más. No puedo cometer errores ni avergonzarme. No sé si podré aguantar toda la noche. ¿Realmente Meredith sabría si me voy temprano? Por otro lado, ¿quiero arriesgarme?
Gimo de frustración mientras me siento de nuevo en mi escritorio. Mi mente estará a mil todo el día. ¿Por qué no pudo encontrar a alguien más? ¿O ir en lugar de su hija? ¿Por qué tiene que recaer en mí? Estaba esperando con ansias mi tranquilo fin de semana a solas, ¡y ahora ni siquiera puedo hacer eso! ¡Es una mierda!
¡Son las diez de la noche y recién estoy llegando a casa! Debería haber llegado hace cuatro horas, ¡pero no! Meredith se quedó mientras yo probaba vestidos, zapatos y máscaras. Debo haberme probado unos seis de cada uno, ninguno de los cuales le gustaba. Pasó la mayor parte de la noche criticándome. Afortunadamente, el último conjunto que probé le gustó.
El vestido es un hermoso plateado con tirantes, de longitud media, con los zapatos y la máscara a juego. Son artículos que nunca podría permitirme. Meredith tiene a tres personas que vendrán a mi casa el sábado para hacerme el peinado y el maquillaje, y la persona que lo haga necesita enviarle fotos para su aprobación. ¡Vendrán a las doce! La maldita cosa no empieza hasta las ocho. Lo estoy temiendo aún más, especialmente porque tendré extraños en mi casa.
Ni siquiera me permitió llevarme las cosas a casa. Las guardará hasta el viernes por la noche, y luego podré llevármelas. Me dejo caer en el sofá, sostengo un cojín contra mi cara y grito en él. Estoy estresada al máximo. Todo lo que quiero hacer es irme a la cama, pero necesito comer y ducharme primero. Necesito estar en la oficina mañana a las ocho.
Suspiro, me levanto del sofá y desaparezco para darme una ducha. No puedo creer que me hayan metido en esta mierda. Enciendo el agua caliente y entro, cayendo al suelo. Apoyo mi espalda en la pared y dejo que el agua caliente corra sobre mí. Creo que me quedaré aquí un rato y solo comeré un tazón de cereal. Será suficiente hasta mañana.
Cierro los ojos y me dejo llorar. Odio cuando lo hago, pero me hace sentir mejor. Lo superaré. He sufrido cosas peores en mi vida, pero ahora mismo, todo lo que puedo pensar es ¡maldita sea mi vida!

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…
And spoke to me in a voice I knew far too well.
The same one that called me baby boy in the darkest corners of the internet.
Now I didn’t know if I wanted to win…
Or just be his.
Aiden
Noah Blake was supposed to be a challenge.
A cocky, reckless quarterback with raw talent and no discipline.
But one message had changed everything.
One night on ObeyNet, a stranger with attitude and submission tangled in his words.
And when I saw Noah in person—his fire, his fear, that ache to be seen—
I knew it was him.
He didn’t know who I was. Not yet.
But I was already testing him. Pushing him.
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.

After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
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.
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."
Alpha Nicholas's Little Mate
What? No—wait… oh Moon Goddess, no.
Please tell me you're joking, Lex.
But she's not. I can feel her excitement bubbling under my skin, while all I feel is dread.
We turn the corner, and the scent hits me like a punch to the chest—cinnamon and something impossibly warm. My eyes scan the room until they land on him. Tall. Commanding. Beautiful.
And then, just as quickly… he sees me.
His expression twists.
"Fuck no."
He turns—and runs.
My mate sees me and runs.

What he expects even less is for his mate to be 10 years younger than him and how his body reacts to her. While he tries to refuse to acknowledge that he has met his mate his world is turned upside down after guards catch two she-wolves running through his lands.
Once they are brought to him he finds himself once again facing his mate and discovers that she's hiding secrets that will make him want to kill more than one person.

Can they both work on letting go of the past and moving forward together or will fate have different plans and keep them apart?
Crowned by Fate
“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.
“You’re unbelievable. I’d rather accept your rejection than live like that.”
As a girl without a wolf, I left my mate and my pack behind.
Among humans, I survived by becoming a master of the temporary: drifting job to job… until I became the best bartender in a dusty Texas town.
That’s where Alpha Adrian found me.
No one could resist the charming Adrian, and I joined his mysterious pack hidden deep in the desert.
The Alpha King Tournament, held once every four years, had begun. Over fifty packs from across North America were competing.
The werewolf world was on the verge of a revolution. That’s when I saw Leon again...
Torn between two Alphas, I had no idea that what awaited us wasn’t just a competition—but a series of brutal, unforgiving trials.

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.

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.
