One fateful night, she discovers something about herself that gives her hope, a chance to escape from the hell she lives in. With escape, Lucky experiences a life changing chance encounter, a kind of anonymous celebrity she never anticipated, and a very unexpected new identity. Fate is leading her down a path, one that leads her to realize that escaping alone was not enough. To truly be free, she will have to uncover her roots, and the secrets entangled within them. Claws will scratch far past the surface, digging deep into a web of deception and evil that threatens her very life and the lives of those she loves. What happens when this beautiful young woman, once a terrified victim, realizes that she is more powerful than she could ever have imagined? Now that she is surrounded by love and laughter, can she defeat the dark forces aligning against her? Will she find the courage to face the trauma of her past and free those still shackled to what she once accepted as her fate? Content Warning: ADULTS ONLY! This book contains some dark themes relating to the crime of human trafficking, forced sexual encounters, physical and emotional abuse, and violence. It is intended for a mature audience. Some content may be upsetting to survivors of sexual assault and abuse. Beware of two labrador retrievers that are very good at stealing hearts and treats! I am doing a major edit on this book and adding new chapters daily. The basic story has not changed, I am correcting spell check errors and such. I have also made some minor changes within the story itself, which I believe have improved the logical flow of the story and enhanced character development. 03/05/2025

On her eighteenth birthday, Valerie Lane’s dreams for the future–getting accepted into the Helblaze pack–came crumbling down when she wasn’t blessed with her wolf form. The Moon Goddess’ betrayal left her in so many pieces that she was unable to recover for months… until her fate finally smiled upon her and blessed her with her mate. Valerie’s lonely and sad life turned perfect overnight, almost like something out of a fairytale. Caleb Lockhart–the beta of the Helblaze pack–was everything that she had ever dreamt of. If one were to believe Valerie’s perspective, he was more than she deserved–tall, handsome, charming, and above all… loving. Valerie relishes in the bliss of her newfound love life until Caleb starts showing his true colors. She constantly has to beg for an ounce of affection from her mate, and constantly has to endure the ridicule from the other women and the pack members. Just when she believes that she is fated to rot in hell on earth, someone else starts showering her with the affection she so desires. Will Valerie open her heart to the man who can be her salvation from eternal damnation? Excerpt: “Open your mouth,” he commanded in a ragged whisper. I did as he asked. Although embarrassed, I parted my lips, just enough to let out the breath that I was holding. His lips immediately sealed mine shut and began to move skillfully–every stroke of his jaw precise and succinct–evoking the primal urge from deep within me. I tried to keep up with his pace but my inexperience was painfully obvious. He suddenly entangled his slender fingers with my loose hair and pulled it down to tilt my head up. I don’t know why my heart raced at that action of his, but it did. I bet my heart rate topped the chart when he nipped my lower lip and whispered, my lip still between his teeth, “Open wider. Let me taste you.” Follow me on Instagram for more. https://www.instagram.com/sani_mimosa/ The cover art was commissioned from Artist Shu G Sin. Find him on Instagram @shu_g_sin

With a mischievous glint in her eye, Trisha said, "Remember, we're not a real couple. No physical stuff, okay?" Dashiell snorted disdainfully and retorted, "Funny you mention it. You know we agreed on those conditions, but you were the one who broke that rule earlier." At twenty-five, Trisha Lockhart thought she had a perfect life—a thriving career as a landscape architect at the real estate subsidiary of Vanthorn Ventures Holdings, a handsome boyfriend who was also her boss, and a bright future ahead of her. Or so she thought. But everything came crashing down when she caught him cheating on her with his assistant. Betrayed and broken, Trisha was exiled to an unpromising project on a remote island, where she felt alone and hopeless. To make matters worse, she had to endure the constant pressures and torments from her family, who never appreciated her sacrifices. In the island, she encountered a man who seemed like a simple and naive country bumpkin. But he was actually Dashiell Vanthorn, the powerful and mysterious CEO of Vanthorn Ventures Holdings, who was hiding his true identity. Sparks flew between them, and they soon entered into a fake marriage, hoping to get back at her ex-boyfriend. But their plan was not as simple as they thought. Trisha faced a deadly threat that put her life in danger. Dashiell had a dark and complicated past that haunted him. And they both had a secret that could change everything: a baby. Could Trisha trust Dashiell with her heart, after being hurt so badly? Could he overcome his demons and open up to her, before it was too late? And could they find love in the midst of chaos, revenge, and destiny? *** Disclaimer: This story is purely a work of fiction and is the product of the author's imagination.
