Mary Beth Gaskill

Pendant sept ans, Elara Thorne a vécu dans l'ombre de son propre mariage. Tandis que son mari, magnat de la technologie, Damien, couvrait d'attention sa maîtresse, Elara jouait le rôle de l'épouse d'entreprise parfaite—préparant son café, organisant son emploi du temps, et regardant sa fille de six ans, Cora, se rapprocher de l'autre femme. L'autre femme qui se trouvait être sa demi-sœur. Vivienne Dubois avait tout ce qu'Elara n'avait pas—le cœur de Damien, l'adoration de Cora, et le respect de tous chez Industries Thorne. Quand Elara est rentrée chez elle en espérant célébrer son anniversaire avec sa famille, elle les a trouvés en train de planifier une fête surprise pour Vivienne à la place. Lorsque la petite Cora a innocemment demandé si Vivienne pouvait être sa maman, quelque chose en Elara a finalement craqué. Elara était une brillante chercheuse en IA avant que le mariage ne lui vole ses ambitions. Elle avait cofondé YodaVision Technologies, pour ensuite tout abandonner pour un homme qui ne l'a jamais aimée en retour. Mais maintenant Julian Croft, son ancien partenaire, veut qu'elle revienne en tant que Directrice de l'Innovation. Le monde de la technologie qui l'avait oubliée va bientôt se rappeler pourquoi elle était autrefois considérée comme une visionnaire. Partir semble impossible quand cela signifie laisser Cora derrière elle. Mais rester signifie accepter une vie où elle est invisible dans sa propre maison, humiliée sur son propre lieu de travail, et en compétition avec sa demi-sœur pour des miettes d'attention de sa propre famille. Damien pense que sa femme acceptera tranquillement tout ce qu'il lui donne, comme elle l'a toujours fait. Il est sur le point de découvrir que sept ans de silence ne signifient pas soumission—cela signifie qu'elle planifiait son retour. Et quand Elara Vance récupère son nom, sa carrière et son pouvoir, le monde de la technologie ne sera pas le seul à être ébranlé. Certaines femmes plient. D'autres se brisent. Mais les plus intelligentes ? Elles se reconstruisent plus fortes qu'avant.

Maris Hayes is awoken to a burning crescent scarred into her wrist and wolves scratching at her door. In no less than twelve hours she’s signed a binding agreement with the Rowan coucilor, healer who is supposed to be her protector, yet bound to protect the very same coucil who wants her caged. But the most dangerous threat of all isn’t to the Mulgray Twins, it’s to the bad boyblood co-owning Charles Blackwood. Completely ruthless billionaire who would do anything to protect his secrets. Blackwood tags 8 Maris as a terrorist and posts an order to kill across the city and the city goes insane. Snipers hunt from the rooftops, war‑machines emerge from secret vuali, and a drone packed with mutation gas heads for the subway at rush hour. Each escape reveals a darker secret; Maris’s missing brother is the world’s perfect, and perfectly evil, replacement—and the army’s final creation, born in the camp with Maris’s blood, is terrifyingly sympathetic. Hunted from glittering boardrooms to witchy moonlit nights, and just as Maris discovers the dark prophecy churning inside her, she is betrayed by the one person she thought she could trust the most. Allies change without notice, lovers are targets, and every chapter closes with a question more pointed than a claw: Can the wolf‑blood heiress create a new world to light the way into the future or will she stand and watch it burn under the shadow of the billionaire’s throne?

"Hey, Miss, wait!" a handsome police officer called out to me. I stopped my motorcycle and gave him a sweet smile, but his face was serious. "Hehe, yes, sir?" I said cutely. "Why aren't you wearing a helmet? Do you know how much the fine is? Oh, your name and age?" I scratched my head. I'm dead. I saw that he seemed to be writing something. "Ah, eh, Mary Lie, 24." That's all I could say. "Your family name? Wait, do you have a license?" "Bog, sir. Yes, I do." I said shyly. Of course, who wouldn't be shy when you see a cool police officer with a good physique, and their uniform is intimidating, hello! He seemed surprised by my last name, tsk. My brother put our licenses in the U-box so it would be easy to get them if needed. I immediately opened it and showed it to him. "Where are you from?" he asked again. "Just from around here, sir." After I said that, he wrote again on what looked like a receipt and immediately handed it to me when he finished. "Oh, here, go to the municipal hall and pay at the treasurer's office. If you don't pay that within seven days, we can forward it. You can go now, Miss. Next time, wear a helmet." He said it without pause. I took the receipt, and my eyes widened when I saw that the fine was 500 pesos?! Idiot! Tsk, what a bad day, that animal! I angrily got back on my motorcycle. Before I could even start, he said something that made me turn around. "Is Jerry Bog your brother?" I didn't answer him and sped off immediately to the municipal hall to pay. Wait, what does he care anyway? That police officer is so annoying, ruining my day!

J'ai travaillé dur, m'occupant du bébé tout en essayant de régler le fardeau financier qu'il avait laissé derrière lui. Puis, un jour, ma vie a été bouleversée.
