But with Seraphina, the shadowy architect, orchestrating from the dark, every step could be her last. Waltz in a Cage is a pulse-pounding psychological thriller blending dark romance and corporate intrigue, where art becomes resistance, and every choice risks everything. Will Elara rise like a phoenix, or be consumed by the flames of betrayal?

They call him Ghost. A name whispered in fear across warzones, black markets, and underworld circles. To the world, he's a phantom—a faceless mercenary who leaves no trace but bodies in his wake. To his enemies, he’s a death sentence. To his brothers-in-arms in Graveyard, he’s family. But to himself... he's a haunted man searching for a past stolen in gunfire and smoke. After a flawless mission deep in the Eastern Province, Ghost returns to the hidden forest base he's called home for sixteen years. Yet the victory is short-lived. His foster father, the commander delivers an unexpected order: "That was your last mission." Now, Ghost—real name Miles Sterling—must step out of the shadows of war and into a world he’s never known. Guided only by a scarred letter, a fading memory, and the voice of a woman he hasn’t seen since the day everything was taken from him. But war forged more than his body and name. Behind the mask, behind the scars, Miles has another secret. One he’s kept hidden even from his brothers in arms. He’s not just a weapon. He’s a ghost with a fortune—a hidden empire he built in silence, across borders and black markets, forged in strategy and blood. A man of many names, and many shadows. Beneath the bullets, tattoos, and silence lies a truth buried in ashes. And Ghost is about to dig it up—one letter, one enemy, one memory at a time.

Set in early 1990s Lyon, Ripples of the Rhône follows Lydia Shaw, an 18-year-old orphan racing to her Baccalauréat finals when she witnesses a stroller plunging into the churning Rhône River. Her split-second decision to rescue the drowning mother and child costs precious exam time – until a documentary crew captures the act, convincing strict Professor Laurent to admit her moments before deadline. The heroic deed earns Lydia a spot on Riverside Stories, Lyon’s beloved TV series, where she earns her first paycheck and collides with Gavin Sterling – the artistic rebel she’s secretly sketched in her notebooks for years. Their summer blossoms amid Lyon’s traboule courtyards: Gavin teaching her to trace Renaissance frescoes, Lydia grounding his restless spirit. But when both win scholarships to Sorbonne University, Gavin vanishes overnight with only a tainted farewell: "Family obligations require my absence. Do not wait." Five years later, Lydia’s drowning in medical debts from her grandmother’s illness. Desperate, she agrees to Jonathan Chase’s contract marriage proposal: two years of staged matrimony in exchange for covered hospice care. As she signs the papers in his penthouse office, the elevator opens to reveal Gavin – now a razor-sharp executive in Tom Ford silk, scanning her thrift-store dress like a forgotten museum piece. When Jonathan’s pen touches the contract, Gavin slams his palm on the document, eyes blazing: "A marriage of convenience? Darling, I’m the only candidate qualified to ruin you properly.

Three years ago, Hazel Vance made a choice that changed everything. One night of passion with a mysterious stranger at a masquerade ball left her with more than just memories—it left her with a son whose rare violet-blue eyes are a constant reminder of the father she'll never find. Now a struggling single mother, Hazel desperately needs the executive assistant position at Sterling Group. The salary could finally give her two-year-old Leo the life he deserves. But her new boss, CEO Liam Sterling, is nothing like she expected. Demanding, brilliant, and devastatingly handsome, Liam has a reputation for being impossible to work for. Most assistants don't last a week. When Hazel refuses to be intimidated by his cold demeanor and sharp tongue, something shifts between them. The attraction is immediate and electric, crackling through every professional interaction. But it's his eyes that stop her cold. The same striking violet-blue shade that stares back at her every morning when she looks at her son. As the tension between them builds and the lines between professional and personal begin to blur, Hazel finds herself caught between her desperate need for this job and her growing attraction to the one man who could destroy everything she's worked for. She doesn't know that Liam has been searching for the mysterious woman from the masquerade ball ever since that night changed him forever. And he has no idea that the composed, fiery assistant who challenges him at every turn is the same woman who haunts his dreams. When the truth finally comes to light, will it bring them together or tear apart the fragile new life Hazel has built for herself and her son?

Hazel has spent most of her life picked on and bullied by the triplet, rich, and handsome soon-to-be Alphas of the Emberfang Pack, Lucas, Liam, and Levi Sullivan. ‘Adopted’ by the Alpha and Luna, Hazel works as a live-in maid and is subjected to their daily torture. As such, Hazel wants nothing more than to leave the Emberfang Pack once she turns 18 and pays off her debt. Only, never once has she expected to find her fated mate in her tormentors—the Sullivan Triplets. All three of them. Caught between the mate bond constantly drawing her to the three handsome alphas and the trauma of their past bullying, Hazel must make a choice. Will she let go of the pain and trauma and give the triplets a chance? Or will she walk away from the Emberfang pack and her fated mates forever?

"Du hasst mich", formte Lily mit zitternden Lippen. Zayn lehnte sich näher, seine Stimme leise und bitter. "Nein. Hass ist zu billig. Ich will, dass du fühlst, was ich gefühlt habe. Jeden Schrei. Jeden Verlust." Sie zuckte nicht zurück. Sie war es leid zu flehen. Sie sah ihn nur mit Augen voller stiller Schmerzen an. Warum fühlte es sich dann an, als würde sein Herz zerbrechen? Lily Brightpaw wurde als Tochter eines Alphas geboren, aber sie lebte nie wie eine. Von Kindheit an stumm und unfähig sich zu verwandeln, wurde sie von ihrer Familie als Fluch behandelt. Für den Tod ihrer Mutter verantwortlich gemacht und in die Stille geprügelt, wuchs Lily ungeliebt und ungewollt auf. Sie glaubte, die Mondgöttin würde ihr einen Gefährten schicken, der sie retten würde, aber sie lag falsch. In der Nacht, als ihr Rudel fiel, wurde Lily aus einer Hütte gezerrt und zu Füßen ihres neuen Alphas, Zayn Knightmoon, geworfen. Er war der Mann, den ihre Familie versklavt hatte. Jetzt ist er der Alpha, der über sie herrscht, und er will Rache. Zayn hat alles verloren. Seinen Vater. Seine Gefährtin. Sein Rudel. Alles durch die Hände von Lilys Familie. Als er erkannte, dass Lily seine zweite Chance auf einen Gefährten ist, wies er sie ohne zu zögern zurück und schwor, sie leiden zu lassen. Aber je mehr er sie bestrafte, desto mehr erkannte er die Wahrheit: Lily war nicht wie die Monster, die sie großgezogen hatten. Sie ist auch ein Opfer und gebrochen... wie er. Zayn fand sich zerrissen zwischen Rache und einer Bindung, die er nie wollte. Wird Lilys Leiden ausreichen, um die Geister seiner Vergangenheit zu beruhigen, oder wird Rache sie beide zerstören?

Hazel passou a maior parte de sua vida sendo alvo de provocações e bullying dos trigêmeos, ricos e bonitos, futuros Alphas da Matilha Emberfang, Lucas, Liam e Levi Sullivan. 'Adotada' pelo Alpha e pela Luna, Hazel trabalha como empregada doméstica e é submetida à tortura diária deles. Como tal, Hazel não deseja nada mais do que deixar a Matilha Emberfang assim que completar 18 anos e pagar sua dívida. Só que ela nunca esperou encontrar seu parceiro predestinado em seus atormentadores—os Trigêmeos Sullivan. Todos os três. Presa entre o vínculo de parceiros que constantemente a atrai para os três alphas bonitos e o trauma do bullying passado, Hazel precisa fazer uma escolha. Ela deixará a dor e o trauma para trás e dará aos trigêmeos uma chance? Ou abandonará a matilha Emberfang e seus parceiros predestinados para sempre?

"Me odias", articuló Lily con labios temblorosos. Zayn se acercó más, su voz baja y amarga. "No. El odio es demasiado barato. Quiero que sientas lo que yo sentí. Cada grito. Cada pérdida". Ella no se inmutó. Estaba cansada de suplicar. Solo lo miró con ojos llenos de dolor silencioso. Entonces, ¿por qué sentía como si su corazón se estuviera haciendo pedazos? Lily Brightpaw nació hija de un Alfa, pero nunca vivió como tal. Muda desde la infancia e incapaz de transformarse, fue tratada como una maldición por su familia. Culpada por la muerte de su madre y golpeada hasta el silencio, Lily creció sin amor y no deseada. Ella creía que la Diosa de la Luna le enviaría una pareja que la rescataría, pero estaba equivocada. La noche en que su manada cayó, Lily fue arrastrada de una choza y arrojada a los pies de su nuevo Alfa, Zayn Knightmoon. Él era el hombre al que su familia había esclavizado. Ahora es el alfa que gobierna sobre ella y quiere venganza. Zayn lo perdió todo. Su padre. Su pareja. Su manada. Todo a manos de la familia de Lily. Cuando se dio cuenta de que Lily es su segunda oportunidad de pareja, la rechazó sin dudarlo y juró hacerla sufrir. Pero cuanto más la castigaba, más veía la verdad: Lily no se parecía en nada a los monstruos que la criaron. Ella también es una víctima y está rota... como él. Zayn se encontró dividido entre la venganza y un vínculo que nunca pidió. ¿Será suficiente el sufrimiento de Lily para calmar los fantasmas de su pasado o la venganza los destruirá a ambos?

"Você me odeia," Lily murmurou com lábios trêmulos. Zayn se inclinou mais perto, sua voz baixa e amarga. "Não. Ódio é muito barato. Eu quero que você sinta o que eu senti. Cada grito. Cada perda." Ela não recuou. Estava cansada de implorar. Apenas o olhou com olhos cheios de dor silenciosa. Então por que parecia que seu coração estava se despedaçando? Lily Brightpaw nasceu filha de um Alfa, mas nunca viveu como uma. Muda desde a infância e incapaz de se transformar, ela foi tratada como uma maldição por sua família. Culpada pela morte de sua mãe e espancada até o silêncio, Lily cresceu sem amor e indesejada. Ela acreditava que a Deusa da Lua lhe enviaria um companheiro que a resgataria, mas estava errada. Na noite em que seu bando caiu, Lily foi arrastada de um casebre e jogada aos pés de seu novo Alfa, Zayn Knightmoon. Ele era o homem que sua família escravizou. Agora ele é o alfa que governa sobre ela e quer vingança. Zayn perdeu tudo. Seu pai. Sua companheira. Seu bando. Tudo pelas mãos da família de Lily. Quando percebeu que Lily é sua segunda chance de ter uma companheira, ele a rejeitou sem hesitação e jurou fazê-la sofrer. Mas quanto mais ele a punia, mais via a verdade: Lily não era nada como os monstros que a criaram. Ela também é uma vítima e está quebrada... como ele. Zayn se viu dividido entre a vingança e um vínculo que nunca pediu. Será que o sofrimento de Lily será suficiente para acalmar os fantasmas de seu passado ou a vingança destruirá os dois?

Hazel hat den größten Teil ihres Lebens damit verbracht, von den Drillingen, reichen und gutaussehenden zukünftigen Alphas des Emberfang Rudels, Lucas, Liam und Levi Sullivan, gehänselt und schikaniert zu werden. 'Adoptiert' vom Alpha und der Luna, arbeitet Hazel als Hausmädchen und ist ihrer täglichen Folter ausgesetzt. Deshalb möchte Hazel nichts mehr, als das Emberfang Rudel zu verlassen, sobald sie 18 wird und ihre Schulden bezahlt hat. Nur hat sie nie erwartet, ihre Schicksalsgefährten in ihren Peinigern zu finden – den Sullivan Drillingen. Alle drei von ihnen. Gefangen zwischen dem Gefährtenbund, der sie ständig zu den drei gutaussehenden Alphas zieht, und dem Trauma ihrer vergangenen Schikanen, muss Hazel eine Entscheidung treffen. Wird sie den Schmerz und das Trauma loslassen und den Drillingen eine Chance geben? Oder wird sie das Emberfang Rudel und ihre Schicksalsgefährten für immer verlassen?

Hazel a passé la majeure partie de sa vie à être harcelée et martyrisée par les triplés, riches et beaux futurs Alphas de la Meute Emberfang, Lucas, Liam et Levi Sullivan. "Adoptée" par l'Alpha et la Luna, Hazel travaille comme domestique logée et est soumise à leur torture quotidienne. Comme tel, Hazel ne souhaite rien de plus que quitter la Meute Emberfang une fois qu'elle aura 18 ans et remboursé sa dette. Seulement, elle n'a jamais pensé trouver son compagnon destiné parmi ses bourreaux, les Triplés Sullivan. Tous les trois. Prise entre le lien de compagnon qui la tire constamment vers les trois beaux alphas et le traumatisme de leurs persécutions passées, Hazel doit faire un choix. Va-t-elle laisser tomber la douleur et le traumatisme et donner une chance aux triplés ? Ou va-t-elle quitter définitivement la Meute Emberfang et ses compagnons destinés ?

Clementine finds her world upended by a bizarre clause in her late grandfather's will. To inherit his legacy, a struggling but historically significant architectural firm, she must enter a temporary, high-stakes contract marriage with Rhys Sterling, the notoriously ruthless CEO of Sterling Innovations. Rhys needs Clementine's firm to complete a prestigious, city-defining project that will solidify his dominance. Their agreement is clear: a year of public pretense, no emotional entanglements, and a shared goal of professional success. It's a business deal, pure and simple, or so they tell themselves. From their first fiery encounter, Clementine and Rhys clash. She sees him as an arrogant, unfeeling corporate shark; he views her as an impulsive, impractical artist. Yet, forced into close quarters by the demands of their fake marriage and the complexities of the architectural project, their sharp banter slowly gives way to grudging respect. Kaelen's unconventional methods challenge Rhys's rigid control, while his unwavering support in unexpected moments chips away at her cynicism. As they navigate treacherous corporate rivals, scandalous rumors, and the suffocating expectations of high society, an undeniable, inconvenient attraction ignites. They discover hidden vulnerabilities, shared dreams, and a surprising passion that threatens to shatter the carefully constructed walls around their hearts. But when a long-buried secret from Rhys's past resurfaces, threatening to unravel their fragile bond and expose the truth of their contract, Kaelen and Rhys must decide if their unscripted love is strong enough to withstand the storm. This is a fast-paced, dialogue-rich tale of two stubborn souls who find love where they least expect it, proving that even the most ironclad contracts can't dictate the heart's true desires.

Vor drei Jahren traf Hazel Vance eine Entscheidung, die alles veränderte. Eine Nacht voller Leidenschaft mit einem mysteriösen Fremden auf einem Maskenball hinterließ ihr mehr als nur Erinnerungen – sie bekam einen Sohn, dessen seltene violett-blaue Augen sie ständig an den Vater erinnern, den sie nie finden wird. Als kämpfende alleinerziehende Mutter braucht Hazel dringend die Stelle als Vorstandsassistentin bei der Sterling Group. Das Gehalt könnte ihrem zweijährigen Leo endlich das Leben ermöglichen, das er verdient. Aber ihr neuer Chef, CEO Liam Sterling, ist ganz anders als erwartet. Anspruchsvoll, brillant und umwerfend gutaussehend, hat Liam den Ruf, ein unmöglicher Vorgesetzter zu sein. Die meisten Assistentinnen halten keine Woche durch. Als Hazel sich weigert, sich von seiner kalten Art und scharfen Zunge einschüchtern zu lassen, verändert sich etwas zwischen ihnen. Die Anziehung ist sofort und elektrisch, knisternd durch jede professionelle Interaktion. Aber es sind seine Augen, die sie erstarren lassen. Die gleiche auffällige violett-blaue Farbe, die sie jeden Morgen anblickt, wenn sie ihren Sohn betrachtet. Während die Spannung zwischen ihnen wächst und die Grenzen zwischen Beruflichem und Privatem zu verschwimmen beginnen, findet sich Hazel zwischen ihrer verzweifelten Notwendigkeit für diesen Job und ihrer wachsenden Anziehung zu dem einen Mann gefangen, der alles zerstören könnte, wofür sie gearbeitet hat. Sie weiß nicht, dass Liam seit jener Nacht, die ihn für immer veränderte, nach der mysteriösen Frau vom Maskenball sucht. Und er hat keine Ahnung, dass die gefasste, feurige Assistentin, die ihn bei jeder Gelegenheit herausfordert, dieselbe Frau ist, die seine Träume heimsucht. Wenn die Wahrheit schließlich ans Licht kommt, wird sie sie zusammenbringen oder das zerbrechliche neue Leben, das Hazel für sich und ihren Sohn aufgebaut hat, auseinanderreißen?

Il y a trois ans, Hazel Vance a fait un choix qui a tout changé. Une nuit de passion avec un mystérieux inconnu lors d'un bal masqué lui a laissé plus que des souvenirs—elle lui a laissé un fils dont les rares yeux violet-bleu sont un rappel constant du père qu'elle ne retrouvera jamais. Aujourd'hui mère célibataire en difficulté, Hazel a désespérément besoin du poste d'assistante de direction au Groupe Sterling. Le salaire pourrait enfin offrir à son fils de deux ans, Léo, la vie qu'il mérite. Mais son nouveau patron, le PDG Liam Sterling, n'est pas du tout comme elle l'imaginait. Exigeant, brillant et terriblement séduisant, Liam a la réputation d'être un patron impossible. La plupart des assistantes ne tiennent pas une semaine. Quand Hazel refuse de se laisser intimider par son comportement froid et ses paroles acérées, quelque chose change entre eux. L'attraction est immédiate et électrique, crépitant à travers chaque interaction professionnelle. Mais ce sont ses yeux qui la figent sur place. La même teinte violet-bleu saisissante qui la regarde chaque matin quand elle observe son fils. Alors que la tension entre eux s'intensifie et que les frontières entre professionnel et personnel commencent à s'estomper, Hazel se retrouve prise entre son besoin désespéré de ce travail et son attirance grandissante pour le seul homme qui pourrait détruire tout ce pour quoi elle a travaillé. Elle ignore que Liam recherche la mystérieuse femme du bal masqué depuis cette nuit qui l'a changé à jamais. Et il n'a aucune idée que l'assistante composée et fougueuse qui le défie à chaque instant est la même femme qui hante ses rêves. Quand la vérité éclate enfin, les rapprochera-t-elle ou détruira-t-elle la fragile nouvelle vie qu'Hazel a construite pour elle-même et son fils?

"Sterling, qu'as-tu fait ?" ai-je murmuré, ma voix tremblante. "Il demandait simplement de l'aide !" Les yeux de mon demi-frère, habituellement d'un vert émeraude profond, brillaient maintenant d'une lueur ambrée prédatrice alors qu'il reprenait partiellement forme humaine après sa transformation en loup. Sa respiration était lourde, primitive. "Il était trop proche de toi, Aurora. Son odeur était partout sur toi." La voix de Sterling était étrangement calme tandis qu'il essuyait le sang de ses mains sur son jean sombre. "Aucun homme n'approche ce qui est à moi." Mine. Ce mot me donnait la chair de poule. Je n'étais pas à lui. J'étais sa demi-sœur, pas sa possession.

"Sterling, was hast du getan?" flüsterte ich mit zitternder Stimme. "Er hat nur um Hilfe gebeten!" Die Augen meines Stiefbruders, normalerweise von einem tiefen Smaragdgrün, leuchteten jetzt mit raubtierartigem Bernstein, während er teilweise aus seiner Wolfsgestalt zurückverwandelte. Sein Atem ging schwer, ursprünglich. "Er war dir zu nahe, Aurora. Sein Geruch war überall an dir." Sterlings Stimme war unheimlich ruhig, als er Blut von seinen Händen auf seine dunkle Jeans wischte. "Kein Mann nähert sich dem, was mein ist." Mein. Dieses Wort ließ meine Haut kribbeln. Ich war nicht sein. Ich war seine Stiefschwester, nicht sein Besitz.

#WSA2025 Word went around that no one that had ever knocked on the esteemed Eleazar family’s doors seeking shelter were turned away. Fleeing the prince of Lustris no less, Arabella Sterling held out hope that those weren’t mere rumors as she crossed the border over to Umbraria, home to all creatures of the night. A land where noble blood like hers was a highly coveted delicacy. As such, she wasn’t turned away, but since the Eleazars ran no charity, Arabella was compelled to become the sole blood provider to the heir of the family in exchange for safety. Though never, in a million years, did she imagine that what had started as a simple trade off, could morph into a swirl of tangled passion when the cold and stoic vampire she served showed interest in the young woman beyond the crimson nectar coursing her veins.

Sugar Crash tells the story of elite lawyer Eleanor Sterling who is forced to team up with Xander Cole, the fashion mogul she defeated in court three years ago, transforming from courtroom rivals into dangerous partners in investigation. When midnight lights in the evidence room catch his loosened tie, when legal statutes roll off his tongue like whispered sweet nothings, their professional facade begins to crack—her ironclad ethics unravel under his touch, while his carefully crafted playboy persona reveals vulnerabilities only she can see. In their pursuit of the truth, the clashes in the bedroom grow fiercer than courtroom battles, their interlaced fingers forming bonds tighter than any chain of evidence, until they finally realize: the most damning piece of evidence in this case was their undeniable attraction all along.

All she wanted was to save her brother. And all he wanted was a child. He bought her, bound to a contract to give him a child and disappear from his life afterwards, but what hit her like a storm was love... falling for the masked monster who bought her body. Andrew Sterling hated greedy women, and every woman he'd contracted to bear his child, heir to the Sterling Enterprises, had been just that. When Anne, his third contracted surrogate, showed up, he saw her as the very same type of woman until she peeled open his stone-cold heart. What ties them next isn't just a baby contract, but an unexpected marriage formulated by Andrew's grandfather. But a man who has always despised marriage will never be tied down, not even by his contracted surrogate, because the minute she gave him the child he needed, he would send her out of his life. But when the tables turn on him... He says to her, "With a husband as rich as me, right now you're the wealthiest woman alive." "We're only married till I give birth," she retorted. He frowns at that, feeling internally displeased. "It doesn't matter how long we're married for. From now on, everything I own is yours. If you want heaven and earth, I'll buy it for you. My wife will never be found lacking a single fucking thing." She stared at him in disbelief. When did he start feeling something for her? He couldn't remember.

When Jasmine’s fated mate Elliot rejects her for the Lycan Chairman’s daughter, she is left broken, humiliated and alone. To make matters worse, her father gets arrested for embezzlement, and Jasmine needs to raise ten million to release him. Desperate to save her father from a wrongful conviction, Jasmine takes the only job she can find—tutoring the bratty daughter of a rich werewolf family. But she never expected her employer to be the Lycan chairman himself: Gareth Laken. He is ruthless, dominant… and her ex-mate’s future father-in-law. Gareth thinks she’s a threat. A bitter ex-girlfriend out for revenge, waiting to harm his own daughter. But the more he watches her, the more he sees a woman refusing to be shattered by the world that betrayed her. A woman he can’t stop wanting, despite the huge age difference. Now, Jasmine is caught between two powerful men—one who destroyed her, and one who might destroy everything she has left to protect. Excerpt “You’re playing a dangerous game,” Gareth said, voice low, his towering frame just inches from mine. “I didn’t come here to play,” I shot back, even as my heart pounded. “But you should be asking Elliot why he keeps showing up at my door. I’m not the one chasing ghosts.” His eyes darkened, his gaze dropping to my lips. “He’s not the only one haunted by you.” I froze. I should have walked away. Instead, I whispered, “Then why do you look at me like you want to hate me and kiss me at the same time?” He didn’t answer. But his silence spoke louder than any lie.

Twenty-eight year old Delilah Sterling, has perfected the art of being a respectable realtor by day, and a professional gold digger by night. Delilah believes she has her double life under control. Her meticulously crafted life crumbles when she wakes up one morning with a wedding band on her finger, a marriage certificate on the table, and a sinfully gorgeous man claiming to be her husband. To make matters worse, he is broke and jobless, making her feel trapped in a surreal nightmare. Desperate for escape, Delilah demands a divorce, but the stranger—insisting he wants to stay married—thwarts every attempt. Frustration and confusion mount until Delilah hatches a new plan: she proposes they team up to con her next target, the elusive billionaire, Hunter Quinn. What Delilah doesn't realize is that her "broke husband" is actually Hunter Quinn himself. Billionaire CEO, Hunter Quinn, having discovered Delilah’s intentions to con him, had decided to outplay her at her own game. Hunter agrees to the partnership, and together they plunge into a high-stakes game of deceit. As they plot and scheme, the lines between pretense and reality blur. Their forced proximity ignites an unexpected chemistry, leading to moments of vulnerability and genuine connection neither anticipated. Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

Meet Eleanor "Ellie" Chen, a spirited and somewhat clumsy 38-year-old woman whose life takes an unexpected detour from her quiet hometown in a powerful, unnamed Eastern nation to the bustling heart of the United States (the "Most Powerful Nation"). After a series of bewildering mishaps and an immigration snafu she still can't quite explain, Ellie finds herself with one peculiar job offer: a cleaner at the illustrious White House. Armed with her trusty mop, an unusual knack for attracting chaos, and a complete lack of filter, Ellie is a fish out of water in the highly formal, meticulously ordered world of presidential politics. From accidentally flooding the Oval Office to mistaking a foreign dignitary for a lost delivery man, her tenure at the White House is a constant source of eye-rolling exasperation and bewildered amusement for the staff. Enter President Jonathan "Jon" Sterling, the most powerful man in the world. He's known for his decisive nature, his sharp wit, and a surprisingly short fuse when it comes to presidential protocol. Initially, Ellie is nothing more than a bizarre, yet oddly charming, nuisance. But as her unvarnished honesty, unexpected insights, and hilarious misadventures slowly chip away at his presidential facade, Jon finds himself inexplicably drawn to this woman who sees past the title to the man underneath. "The President Fell for His White House Cleaner" is a hilarious, heartwarming, and utterly improbable romantic comedy about an ordinary woman stumbling into the most extraordinary of love stories. With a backdrop of White House antics, laugh-out-loud misunderstandings, and a sprinkling of international intrigue from Ellie's mysterious past, this novel proves that love can blossom in the most unlikely of places, even between the leader of the free world and his favorite — and most chaotic — cleaner.

At twenty-four, Queen Layla Thorne never wanted the throne that claimed her parents' lives. Now, as the reluctant ruler of a fractured kingdom, she must prove herself worthy of a crown that feels more like a shackle than a symbol of power. With only her fiercely loyal friend Dara by her side, Layla struggles to master her thresh-wielding abilities while haunted by visions of shadowed wings edged in gold—visions that feel more like memories than dreams. When mysterious Rayne enters her world, hiding secrets that could either save her kingdom or destroy it, Layla must choose between the safety of her throne and the dangerous pull of a connection that threatens everything she's been taught to believe. In a realm where political alliances shift like shadows and power comes at the ultimate price, some bonds can only be forged in darkness. Will she embrace the shadows that call to her, or will the weight of the crown crush what remains of her soul? BOUND BY SHADOW - where political intrigue meets forbidden romance, and some destinies can only be claimed in darkness.

Losing something —or someone— may feel like the end of a story, but in truth, it's the beginning of another. One where tears are no longer the price of love, and happiness no longer feels like an unattainable dream. Because true love doesn't break you, doesn't make you beg for affection, and never leaves you in the shadow of constant doubt. Real love arrives like an unexpected whisper, like a ray of sunlight after the rain, like laughter you didn’t see coming —but somehow, it becomes home. And when that happens, you understand that what you lost was never your destiny… it was just the bridge leading you to something far greater.

Perder algo —o a alguien— puede parecer el final de una historia, pero en realidad, es el comienzo de otra. Una donde las lágrimas dejan de ser el precio del amor y la felicidad deja de sentirse como un sueño inalcanzable. Porque el amor verdadero no te rompe, no te obliga a mendigar cariño ni te deja en la sombra de una duda constante. El amor real llega como un susurro inesperado, como un rayo de sol tras la lluvia, como una risa que no esperabas, pero que, sin darte cuenta, se convierte en hogar. Y cuando eso sucede, entiendes que lo que perdiste jamás fue tu destino… sino solo el puente hacia algo mucho mejor.

There are loves left unspoken—because naming them would unleash them. There are bodies that seek each other not for pleasure, but to affirm their own existence. Some love without touch. Others touch without love. And a few—the most dangerous—do both at the edge of the abyss. To love like this is to lose peace, logic, and the right to look back. But not everything that hurts is violence. Not everything that suffocates is a prison. And not everything that burns… is fire. Remember what can happen when someone decides to love you more than they love themselves.
