The air is filled with excitement and the promise of forever as she undergoes wedding fittings after a joyous dance practice with Leo, her fiancé. However, destiny takes a cruel turn as Eva stands at the end of the corridor, adorned in her wedding gown, only to realize that Leo is nowhere to be found. The joyous bells of celebration transform into echoes of abandonment, leaving Eva shattered and questioning why the love of her life chose to vanish on their special day. Amidst the anger, disappointment, and shame that envelop her parents, Eva finds herself thrust into an unexpected courtroom with a man she barely knows, Jayden Wills. Faced with societal pressures and the urgency to secure her sisters' future, Eva is forced into a hasty marriage with Jayden, a man whose family sees her merely as a means to an end. The Wills penthouse becomes her new reality, and the warmth of the grandmother's smiles masks a darker agenda as Eva discovers herself drugged, entangled in a web of desires to bear a grandchild. The shock of her situation and the realization that Jayden is already married cast Eva into a tumultuous sea of emotions. Determined to maintain her distance, she stays confined to her room, navigating the complexities of her newfound family. Jayden, preoccupied with business trips and his first wife, Susan, tries to ignore the inexplicable pull he feels towards Eva. Yet, as they spend time together, the magnetic connection between them intensifies, leaving Jayden grappling with unfamiliar emotions. A few weeks later, the shocking revelation of Eva's pregnancy further complicates the dynamics of their unconventional marriage. Jayden, who had longed for a child with Susan, now faces the prospect of fatherhood with Eva. Meanwhile, Eva's mother, desperate to mend the broken bond between Eva and Leo, reaches out to him. In a surprising turn of events, Leo returns, reopening old wounds and memories for Eva. As Eva continues to pursue her music and dance career, Leo's reappearance brings both joy and turmoil. Eva finds herself torn between her past with Leo and the unexpected love growing within her for Jayden, the father of her children. The twins turn one, and Jayden suddenly reappears at Eva's doorstep after an unexplained absence. The once-distant Jayden is now a changed man, expressing an urgent desire for Eva and a love that transcends the superficial expectations of their unconventional marriage. As their relationship deepens, shocking revelations unfold. Susan, Jayden's first wife, is exposed as a fraud who had been mothering another man's children outside their marriage. In an attempt to make amends, Jayden plans a surprise wedding for Eva, sealing their love and commitment to each other.

Making The Duke Mine

Her slender finger began tracing his facial features as she spoke, "My desire to make you mine," Her finger moved towards his plump lips as she sensually caressed them under her thumb, wondering how they would feel on hers. Will it be as mind-blowing as she had always imagined it to be? "Is still as solid as a rock, but...." She suddenly stopped her movement and stepped away from him. He frowned. When did she become so bold to touch him like that? He knew her for being timid and naive. Yes, he knew the girl fancied him a lot, but she had never dared to act on her feelings. Did he like it? Yes! And he was ready to see how far she could go in her game, so before she could take another step away from him, he brought her back to her previous position. Maybe closer than before. Oh, how he wanted to feel those round breasts on his body and run his hands along those delicious-looking curves, but he held himself back. Susan wasn't his regular woman. He could still feel the fierce innocence in those hazel eyes despite how daring she presented herself. It was her innocence that sent him running for his life. He couldn't trap her in his darkness- the darkness she was begging to be part of. To distract himself from throwing her into the bed and satisfying his demons, he repeated her last word as he was curious to know her mind, "But?" "But I won't force you this time around...." Lady Susan, a determined and charming lady sets her sights on the most notorious of them all: Duke Edmund. Renowned for his debauchery and immoral exploits, the Duke had long been considered off-limits to the fairer sex. But Susan, with her mind made up, is not one to be deterred. With a fierce unwavering resolve, she embarks on a mission to tame the Duke, to make him hers and hers alone. But as she navigates the treacherous landscape, she begins to realise that the Duke’s wicked reputation may be more than just a facade. As the battle of wills between them intensifies, Lady Susan finds herself drawn into a world of passion, seduction, and danger. As they surrender to their forbidden passion, the flames of desire burn brighter with every glance, every touch, and every stolen moment, but will her resolve be strong enough to overcome the Duke’s defences, or will she become the latest conquest in his long list of scandals? Making the Duke Mine is a tantalizing tale of love, redemption, and the power of true devotion.

The doomsday conspiracy

Robert Bellamy, an agent of the ONI receives a mission on behalf of NSA: to locate the witnesses of the crash of an experimental meteorological balloon in Switzerland, for which he is only given the date, the place where it happened, and the fact that the witnesses were passengers of a bus tour. He is given an unlimited budget but is told he must work strictly under cover. After he finds the first witness, he discovers that the meteorological balloon was actually an alien spaceship. He tracks the witnesses one by one and reports their names to NSA. Without his knowledge, the names of the witnesses are then communicated to the intelligence organizations of their respective countries, and each of them is assassinated shortly after. These actions are coordinated under the name "Operation Doomsday", under the leadership of a figure known only as Janus. Robert's personal history is shown through flashbacks: he rose in the military ranks under the mentorship of Admiral Ralph Whittaker, and during a combat flight in Vietnam his plane was taken down, with Whittaker son's dying in the crash and Robert being badly injured. Doctors declare that he has no chance of survival, but a nurse named Susan convinces them to operate on him and encourages him to keep his fighting spirit. He and Susan fall in love after his recovery and marry. Robert is then recruited to become a spy for ONI, but this job takes over his personal life until Susan divorces him and marries a business tycoon named Monte Banks, while Robert isolates himself and dedicates even more to his work. In a conversation with the last witness, he mentions to Robert an additional one, a woman whom he hadn't seen in the bus. When Robert tries to contact the other bus passengers to corroborate this information, he finds out that all of them are dead. He deduces that this is an international effort since they died in different countries, and he also concludes that the final step of the operation would be his own death to eliminate all knowledge about the alien ship. He then goes into hiding right as Janus sends an instruction to kill him. Robert goes for help to Li, one of his friends who lives in Paris. Li explains to him about Operation Doomsday, revealing that aliens have been in communication with the governments of Earth for a while, demanding a stop of industrial pollution to save the Earth's environment, before revealing that he is a member of the operation and shooting Robert. Robert wins the fight and kills him, but he is badly wounded and realizes that he will eventually be killed unless he negotiates. The mysterious last witness is revealed to be an alien that survived the crash of the spaceship and disguised herself as a woman. She contacts Robert through a piece of the spaceship that he got from one of the witnesses, and they arrange to meet back in Switzerland where the ship crashed. Robert also calls NSA and asks to meet Janus there. In the final confrontation, Janus is revealed to be Admiral Whittaker, Robert's mentor. He also confesses that he sabotaged Robert's marriage to keep him at ONI, and eventually decided to have him killed for not being committed enough to his job. Monte Banks is revealed to be part of the Doomsday conspiracy, as he owns many industries that would lose money if they weren't able to pollute. Both are abducted by the aliens, who task Robert with the mission of spreading environmental awareness on Earth.
