Zephany Draven is a shy, clumsy celebrity journalist who is constantly ridiculed for not getting the big scoops. She is soft-spoken and easily intimidated, so she looks weak. However, behind closed doors, she's Eclipse, an altogether tougher, loud-mouthed agent and quite ruthless and efficient. Kendrick Montclair is a gentle, positive artist who loves his family and remains optimistic despite his struggles. His gentle nature makes him easy to take advantage of. But secretly, he's Obscura, a cold, ruthless agent who is efficient and silent.

Their goal is to reach the highest level of clearance to access classified information. But just when they're on the verge of success, they fail.

Trapped with no alternative, they sign the deal, having no idea that they just married their secret partner in crime. But neither expected what would happen next. ------------- Kendrick and Zephany sat by the glass wall, waiting for their food when a car suddenly crashed through. Kendrick pulled Zephany to safety just in time, but both got small cuts from the broken glass. "Are you okay?" they asked, checking each other. To their astonishment, the cuts healed before their eyes. Their minds raced. "Beside me, the only person I know who has that ability is." "No! She can't be that loud, short-tempered woman!" "No! He can't be that silent, obnoxious man!" "Did I marry my secret partner in crime?" They both shuddered at the thought.

{MATURE} "I was scared!" she cried, interrupting him. "You're a married man, you have a wife now, and I didn't want to ruin that. I didn't know how you'd react. And I didn't want my children… our children… to be caught in the middle of more pain." He looked at her in shock, breath caught in his throat. "You just said… our daughter earlier," he said slowly. Yes," she answered. "Jasmine and Hanith. They're yours." Aaron's breath hitched, stumbled back a step, staring at her like he was seeing her for the first time again. "You told me they weren't mine," he whispered. "I lied," she admitted. "Because I was scared. I wanted to protect them. I thought if you knew, you'd take them away. And I also thought you wouldn't want them because you are married now." "Five years," he murmured, his voice barely audible. "I had children... and never knew." He clenched his jaw, struggling to process everything. "They are your children," she said softly. "And now your daughter needs you." ~**~ A single mother, Katherine Prescott was the perfect definition of a B3 classy lady—beautiful, brainy, and brave. She worked her ass off to ensure her children never lacked, building a name for herself while running from the unwanted attachment of the past.

What if the forgotten spark and desires kept pulling her back into the very past she wanted to forget? What if her babies wouldn't stop asking about their father? Can she really give him a second chance at love… and risk losing herself to passion again? Aaron Knight was a celebrity. He never believed he'd see her again. But there she was—still breathtaking, still beautiful as ever. He wasn't letting her go this time. He would get her back, by hook or by crook. Two problems: he was married… and she was already a mother. #secondchance #billionaire #chasingherback #romance #adultromance #contemporarylit #singlemother

Cyrus loved webnovels. So much, in fact, that he died with one open on his screen—Knight’s Oath, a fantasy epic where the tragic hero rises to greatness before dying in a final, heartbreaking chapter. Except now, Cyrus wakes up inside that very world. And it hasn’t even started yet. Given a mission by a cryptic system—Form a secret organization and change the world’s fate—Cyrus finds himself at the beginning of a story destined to end in ruin. But he’s not here to play background character. With no powers, no clue where he is, and no manual for “how to fix a doomed timeline,” he does what he’s always done best: wing it—with style. From outwitting murderous bandits to bluffing his way through ancient martial sects, Cyrus begins carving a path no one expected. He saves the broken, recruits the strong, and builds The Second Oath—a group bound by loyalty, purpose, and a belief in their eccentric leader. The world may call him a mystery. His enemies call him dangerous. But to his followers? He’s the one they would follow to the end of the world. This isn’t the story of a shadowy figure hiding behind the curtains. This is the legend of Cyrus—the man who laughed, lied, and led the world toward a new ending.

Angelina Johnson has always known the value of hard work. Raised in a modest home by a father who poured everything into keeping his small business alive, she learned early on to stand on her own. But while he hoped she’d take over someday, Angelina had dreams that reached beyond their quiet life. Landing a job at Aurum Scents felt like a step in the right direction. The role wasn’t glamorous, but it came with stability, promise—and Carter Hayes. Her boss. Polished, kind, and effortlessly magnetic, he was everything she admired from afar. It started as a harmless crush, something she shared only with her best friend. A small secret that kept her heart occupied and her focus sharp. But life has a strange way of testing what you think you know. When Daniel Viggo enters her world, everything shifts. He’s nothing like Carter. In fact, he’s nothing like anyone she’s ever met. Cold, unreadable, and intimidating in every possible way, Daniel is the kind of man people talk about in hushed tones. He’s powerful, unapproachable—and for some reason, impossibly drawn to her. Wherever she turns, he’s there. Watching. Pushing. Unsettling everything she thought she had under control. As tensions rise and lines blur, Angelina finds herself caught between two forces she can’t escape. One feels like safety. The other feels like chaos. But the deeper she’s pulled in, the harder it becomes to tell the difference. Some choices are easy. Others change everything. And sometimes, the person you should stay away from is the one you can’t stop thinking about.

What if you think your family is pure, doesn't hide any secrets, but the truth will come out about them too

In the late 18—s, two lifelong friends—bound through school, college, and every triumph and heartbreak in between—are torn apart by a cruel illness.

First the friend, then his widow, vanishes from this world, and the packet is all but forgotten—until one day, in search of legal papers, the executor stumbles upon it once more. Compelled by duty and curiosity, he unlocks the parcel and discovers an extraordinary manuscript. Within its pages lies a raw, unvarnished account of love, betrayal, and the darkest corners of the human mind—annotated in the margins with real names, now erased.

He publishes it only after stripping every identifying mark, honoring his late friend’s wish for secrecy while illuminating a hidden chapter of human psychology—an intimate testament that no longer belongs to one man alone. ********** Please Support Me by buying this whole Book At Aus $ 10, https://ko-fi.com/s/912fbd51e4 I would really appreciate your support.
