Chapter 1
Caro Lettore,
Prima di iniziare questa storia, vorrei avvertirti riguardo al suo contenuto. Non la consiglio a persone sotto i 18 anni. Oltre alle scene bollenti, l'intera trama potrebbe risultare disturbante. Se sei d'accordo con questo, allora buona lettura!
Alice
Sono uscita di corsa dalla sala di allenamento dei pattinatori, cercando con tutte le mie forze di lasciare il club senza piangere. Sono stati così gentili con me, come sempre. Ho ricevuto una bellissima collana dal mio team per ricordare il tempo trascorso con loro.
È stato così difficile andarsene. I miei allenatori sono stati al mio fianco per molti anni, ma lasciare il mio migliore amico, Lucas, è stato il più difficile. Pattiniamo insieme da quando avevamo quattro anni.
Abbiamo partecipato al nostro primo Campionato Junior, e da allora siamo sempre apparsi nelle competizioni. Abbiamo provato a pattinare in coppia alcune volte e ci siamo abituati rapidamente l'uno all'altra. I nostri allenatori dissero che potevamo provare a competere come duo, ma io ero più felice come pattinatrice solista.
"Alice, aspetta!"
Ho chiuso gli occhi quando l'ho sentito chiamarmi dietro. Mi sono girata per vederlo correre verso di me. I suoi capelli biondi erano spettinati e i suoi occhi azzurri, umidi, riflettevano la sua tristezza.
Ha cercato di riprendere fiato. Sapevo che era innamorato di me da un po' e recentemente avevo pensato a lui più spesso, considerando l'idea di diventare la sua ragazza. Era l'unico ragazzo a cui mi ero mai avvicinata e mi piaceva molto. Potevo innamorarmi di lui, forse più tardi.
Tuttavia, era troppo tardi per considerare di iniziare una relazione con lui. Sapevo che litigare con il mio patrigno poteva finire male, e la vittima sarei stata io, non lui. Non avevo scelta. Dovevo andare.
"Non hai pensato di restare? Ci sono tante buone università a Montreal. Perché pensi che un'università americana sia migliore?"
Non potevo rispondergli a parole. Mi sono avvicinata, l'ho abbracciato e l'ho tenuto stretto.
Quando ho sentito l'autobus arrivare, l'ho lasciato andare, gli ho dato un bacio sulla guancia e mi sono affrettata a salire.
Mi sono seduta dall'altra parte dell'autobus. Sapevo che guardare la sua figura triste, lì a sperare che cambiassi idea, mi avrebbe spezzato il cuore.
Ho asciugato le lacrime e ho cercato di vedere il panorama familiare attraverso i miei occhi umidi, ma non riuscivo a vedere nulla.
Sono scesa dall'autobus una fermata prima della nostra strada. Volevo camminare un po', sperando di schiarirmi le idee, ma ero ancora nello stesso stato quando sono arrivata a casa.
Quando sono entrata dalla porta di casa, ho sentito mia madre.
"Alice, sei tu? Vieni a mangiare la cena."
Non ho detto una parola. Non ero nemmeno sicura che avesse preparato la cena per tutti noi, ma mi sono avviata verso la sala da pranzo e mi sono seduta. Tre piatti di cibo cucinato ci aspettavano.
Non mi ha sorpreso vedere il mio patrigno già seduto lì.
Lo odiavo. Non mi ha mai toccata, ma lo odiavo per gli anni di abuso mentale con cui mi ha torturata e per il danno che ha inflitto a mia madre, causando la sua malattia.
Ma ora, dopo che ha rovinato il mio futuro, sento che potrei torturarlo a morte. Non mi sono mossa nemmeno quando ho sentito la sua voce.
"Alice, ho parlato con i Sullivan di te. Non hanno problemi se continui a pattinare sul ghiaccio e accettano la tua richiesta di studiare all'università. Hanno detto che sei libera di sceglierne una e loro la pagheranno."
Non gli ho risposto. Rimase in silenzio, mentre mia madre si sedeva.
"Ti sto mandando in un buon posto, Alice. Sono una delle famiglie più ricche di Los Angeles. Ti daranno tutto ciò che noi non abbiamo mai potuto darti."
Mentre continuava, ho posato le posate. Dovevo trattenermi dal parlare.
Ha sospirato mentre sentivo il suo sguardo su di me.
"Sai che non abbiamo altra scelta. Vorrei che l'avessimo." ha sospirato dolorosamente.
E quello è stato sufficiente. Sentivo che la mia rabbia mi avrebbe uccisa se fossi rimasta in silenzio. Mi sono alzata improvvisamente e ho sbattuto la tavola.
"Charles, sei consapevole di quello che mi hai fatto? Come osi dire che non avevi altra scelta? Sono la tua figliastra. È per questo che mi hai cresciuta? Per vendermi quando sei a corto di soldi?"
Gli ho urlato contro mentre le mie mani tremavano.
"Calmati, Alice. Avrai tutto ciò che desideri, e i debiti e i favori che devo a quelle persone saranno pagati. Questo accordo è vantaggioso per entrambi."
"Cosa c'entro io con i tuoi affari loschi? Perché io? Sei consapevole che mi stai costringendo a sposarmi? Sei consapevole che questo è contro la mia volontà? Questa è la mia vita, per l'amor del cielo. La mia carriera, i miei sogni, tutto il duro lavoro da quando ero piccola è stato vano."
Lui semplicemente distolse lo sguardo come se non gli importasse. Ho guardato mia madre, che abbassava la testa. Finalmente, Charles si è rivolto a me.
"Avrai una buona vita," ha affermato.
"Una buona vita? Pensi che sia così stupida da non capire di cosa si tratta? Chi diavolo compra un essere umano al giorno d'oggi? Hanno bisogno dei miei organi interni? Vogliono usarmi come prostituta o schiava domestica?"
Questa volta ha riso.
"Da dove hai preso questa idea? Sarai un membro della loro famiglia. Si prenderanno cura di te."
"Non vado da nessuna parte!" ho gridato. "Mi senti? Sei un perdente, un idiota. Non ti permetterò di fare soldi usando me. Ho la mia vita e carriera, e continuerò la mia vita qui. Anche se dovessi andare alla stazione di polizia per fare una denuncia su di te."
L'ho puntato con il dito, ma la paura mi ha fermata dal parlare quando si è alzato e mi ha trascinata contro il muro. Mi ha stretto il collo. Sentivo di voler piangere, ma non volevo mostrargli la mia debolezza.
"Zitta, piccola stronza! Te ne vai domani. Non farmelo ripetere se vuoi restare intera!"

“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.”

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.

I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.

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.

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."

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.
