Proof That Tony Stark Has A Heart

RENT A HEART

The past week had felt like a lifetime of dodging my own feelings. As I sat at the head of the table, I felt the dam about to break, then the door swung open, and my heart lurched. Chris stood there, a storm cloud personified. His expression was unreadable, but one thing was clear: he wasn't smiling. My staffs exchanged glances, their gazes then focusing on me. "Eve," Chris's voice was low. "We need to talk." The room went silent, thick with nervous energy. The unspoken question hung in the air. "Chris," I said, my voice calm despite my pounding heart, "can this wait? We're in the middle of an important meeting." I wanted him to leave, to deal with this later, on my terms. "No, it can't," he said, stepping into the room. His anger simmered beneath the surface, but there was a visible vulnerability that made my own heart ache. "Please excuse us," I told my staffs, who hurriedly packed and left us alone. "You just left. You left after that night with just empty words on a piece of paper and then went out of the country for a whole week, Eve. A whole week." I was surprised to see him so vulnerable, so angry. It was the first time. It was obvious he was hurt, and I knew I was wrong. He stalked towards me, like a predator, and as he got closer, the anger seemed to flicker, replaced by a different intensity. He stopped in front of me, and then, without warning, his arms wrapped around me, pulling me into a tight, desperate embrace. My breath hitched. I went stiff for a moment, surprised by the contact. Then, almost instantly, my arms went around him, clinging to his strong frame. A mix of emotions flooded me: surprise, relief, and an overwhelming need to simply hold him. I breathed in his familiar scent, a comforting aroma that had been haunting my senses for the last week. He held me tightly, as if afraid I'd vanish if he let go, and I didn't resist. I had dreamed of this. He pulled back, his hands on my shoulders, his gaze searching mine with an intensity that made my heart flutter. The anger lingered, but it was mixed with something else. Something softer. "I missed you terribly," he whispered, the words barely audible, but they resonated through me. ------ Eve, a fashion powerhouse ruling the world's runways, needs a fake boyfriend and fast, to appease her matchmaking mother.   Christopher, a charming, secretive, and dangerously attractive heir to the biggest conglomerate in the country. needs a distraction from his father's unwanted marriage plans.

Rebirth of Nyla Stark: A Werewolf Saga

Can a simple human soul reborn in the body of a powerful werewolf-witch hybrid be able to tame its stubborn wolf and master incredible witch powers? Can a 'godless' alpha living in defiance of the ways of the moon goddess truly escape his fate through the strength of his will? This book has it all: Feuding wolf packs, secret peace treaties with humans, rebirth of a dreaded were-witch, half-blood alpha with a bound wolf, human mafia gangs hunting werewolves, star-crossed fated mates, pack traitors, secret identities, Luna wars, werewolf galas and balls, witches academy, etc. *** In a world where being reborn is dependent on steep conditions (for pure humans and supernatural beings alike) Irina Duncan is the first human soul to cheat the rebirth system by orchestrating her death and being reborn more than two times as allowed by the divine law. Caught on her seventh attempt and branded a wraith (a soul considered evil for being reborn more than twice), she makes a deal to avoid being destroyed forever and gets sent back to the world in the body of Nyla Stark, a werewolf. The worst part? She wakes up in a city infested by mafia gangs who hunted and preyed on supernatural beings, especially werewolves. Unfazed, Irina is determined to survive her ordeal and find a way to best the rebirth system ONE LAST TIME to find someone dear to her in an alternate life. Unfortunately, she soon realizes that being sent back as Nyla Stark is nothing like her previous lives, and just might be the worst punishment ever. With no recollection of Nyla’s memories to help her navigate her new life, zero werewolf knowledge or survival skills to save her hide, a growing line of enemies braying for Nyla’s blood, a complicated love story with three powerful alphas who want her for different reasons and Nyla’s re-emerging witch powers, Irina is in for a rocky journey before she can circle back to her original goal; her seventh rebirth. As time passes, Irina is dumbfounded by the were-witch, Nyla Stark and her past. Can her human soul tame Nyla’s stubborn wolf and win the raging war caused by her reappearance in a werewolf community that perceives THE Nyla Stark as a curse from the moon goddess, or will the wraith killers disguised in the city get to Irina first?
