[Warning: Mature Content, R18+] Camilla Watson-Veston was left with no choice but to leave her wealthy life behind and raise her son alone as an ordinary employee. A woman filled with rage and anger because of the betrayal of her one true love is indeed very dangerous. When all she could think of was revenge, karma has its funny way of rewarding those worthy with what they deserve. Sometimes not just one, but two or more blessings at once. What will Cammy do if the universe gives her not only two options to consider but three or more? Will she be able to choose which path she should take when nothing seems to be the right one? When freedom costs too much and happiness is hard to reach, will life turn Cammy into bitter from sweet? ********** Story Excerpt: "You’re fucking stunning, Cammy, and don’t let anyone make you think otherwise. Your husband’s a fool for letting you go. I’m going to show you exactly what you’ve been missing. Even if it’s just for tonight, I promise you won’t forget me. After this, I’ll be the only man in your mind," Greg said before capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. Was it wrong to accept it just because she was married, even though the man she was married to had been betraying her time and time again? Her mind let go of logic; she no longer cared if what they were doing was forbidden. She had made up her mind to surrender herself to him completely, letting him do whatever he desired with her tonight. So she whispered, “Turn off the lights…” Greg smirked, knowing the switch was just within reach, but instead of turning the lights off completely, he dimmed them to the faintest glow without removing his gaze from her. “Forgive me, Cammy. I cannot turn it off completely. I want to see your face when I take you to heaven over and over again while you are screaming my name.” Her hands traced his broad, strong chest, feeling its strength and solidity. ‘Oh God, I’m touching another man’s body!’ she shouted silently in her mind. Before her courage fully faltered, she felt Greg gripped on her wrist, as he released her lips, and whispered, “Not yet, Ms. beautiful. Let's take it slow… I want you to remember our time together as your best without any regrets. I want you to remember me as the man who made you feel important and wanted. Tonight you're the only woman in my life. The only woman my eyes see and my mind thinks of. You are mine, and mine alone. Do you understand?!” ********** A song excerpt that mirrors the emotion of the book. ***The song is not mine.*** I remember back when we were in love And we followed the fire in our hearts We moved every mountain we touched And we danced in the light of the stars I know nothing beautiful lasts But when I get to heaven I'll ask To go back to when we were in love… ********** The Author’s Completed Work: Book 1: CEO’s Contract Obsession - Contemporary Romance (CEO/Sweet Love), 2023 Book 2: The Royal Mark - Fantasy Romance (Werewolf/Fated Mates), 2023

Book Blurb: Understanding Entropy: Concepts, Applications, and Implications Discover the hidden force that governs everything from the behavior of microscopic particles to the evolution of galaxies in Understanding Entropy: Concepts, Applications, and Implications. This comprehensive volume takes you on a journey through the multifaceted world of entropy, offering a rigorous yet accessible exploration. Beginning with a clear and engaging introduction that lays the conceptual groundwork, the book guides you through the essential principles of thermodynamic entropy before delving into its formalism. With subsequent chapters dedicated to the microstate perspective of statistical mechanics and the nuanced quantum view of entropy, the text builds a solid foundation for understanding how energy dispersal and uncertainty are quantified in both classical and modern physics. The exploration continues as the author examines entropy’s crucial role in chemical and physical processes, highlighting its influence on phase transitions and reaction spontaneity. The discussion then bridges to information theory, where Shannon’s revolutionary ideas meet thermodynamic concepts to reveal surprising parallels in how we measure uncertainty. Interdisciplinary applications further showcase how entropy informs biological evolution, economic dynamics, and cosmological phenomena such as black hole thermodynamics and the heat death of the universe. Advanced topics and contemporary debates invite readers to consider cutting-edge research on maximum entropy production, the arrow of time, and non-equilibrium systems, while practical chapters on experimental techniques offer insights into real-world measurement and industrial applications. Finally, reflective discussions on philosophical and theoretical implications, combined with a critical evaluation of foundational works, round out this authoritative text. Whether you are seeking to deepen your understanding of energy, information, and complexity or to explore innovative research frontiers, Understanding Entropy offers an essential, interdisciplinary perspective on one of science’s most profound concepts.

Isaiah's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze burning with intensity. “You’ll be mine Aurélia,” he whispered, his voice low and husky. “You won't escape me, my little pony.” Before I could react, Isaiah pulled me close, his hand wrapping around my waist. His lips crashed onto mine, sending shivers down my spine. The kiss was fierce, passionate, and all consuming a French kiss that left me breathless. I hated Isaiah for his arrogance, but his bad boy charm was undeniable. His touch ignited a fire within me, drawing me into his web of desire.

Isaiah's eyes seemed to melt my resolve, his words touching my heart. “I fell for you at first sight,” he whispered. “Your eyes, your beauty, your kindness... you're mine Aurélia.” His possessiveness should have scared me, but instead, it sent a thrill through my veins. “You won't be able to run away from me,” Isaiah whispered, his breath hot against my skin. “You’ll always be mine.” I knew I should resist, but his touch was addictive. I couldn't deny the sparks flying between us, or the way my heart skipped a beat when he held me close.
