"Let me be your real wife for just one month, Daven." It was a simple request-one that sounded like the last plea of a heartbroken woman. But to Althea Grayson, it was her pride. The price she asked for the love she had given, yet never once received in return. She had known from the start, their marriage was never about love. Daven Callister had married her out of duty, pressured by his grandmother. There were no tender embraces, no loving glances-only cold silence and an empty house that never felt like home. Still, Althea held on. She tried to be a good wife, clinging to the hope that one day, Daven's heart might soften. But her hope was shattered by betrayal-Daven wanted to marry someone else. The woman he truly loved. With or without Althea's consent. And his entire family stood behind his decision. Heartbroken and disillusioned, Althea made one final request: one month of being loved like a real wife. One month... before she walked away forever. Daven thought it was a desperate move-pathetic, even. But that single month changed everything. The way Althea smiled, the way she loved so fully. Even the way she left-left something behind that lingered in Daven's heart. And now, Daven was lost. When the love he had never once recognized finally revealed itself... was it already too late? Or should he fight against everything-just for one more chance?

"You left me for her. Now you want to remember how to breathe without me?" Two years abandoned. Two years silent. On their anniversary, he walks in with the woman he left her for.

When the mistress turns out to be a nightmare in lace, and the wife-his wife-emerges stronger, crueler, and so heartbreakingly beautiful... he regrets everything. But regret isn't enough. He wants her back. This time, he'll burn the world to do it.

Everyone says what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But what if you live there? Eliza thought she had the kind of life everyone wants - a busy career, a husband she'd loved since college, and a tight circle who felt more like family than friends.

This is a story of deeply twisted connections between five friends. The tangles reveal themselves bit by bit as Eliza, Ben, Miles, Vanessa and Colin learn the truth about each other, and themselves. In the end, does anything hold or does it all unravel?

Two Omegas, one pack, a love forbidden by law. Locked up in the omega facility for thirteen years, Sadie's lost hope she'll ever find a mate when Jake appears bruised and bleeding at her door.

"Then make me." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is an mmmfmm omegaverse reverse harem/why choose story - it's also a non-shifter OV. There will be a happy end (at some point).

Victoria Rothwell has never made a single decision for herself. Every choice-what she wears, who she speaks to, how she smiles-has been dictated by her mother's infamous Rule Book, a thick leather binder that is updated annually like a corporate handbook. The rules are drilled into her daily: • Rule #1: A Rothwell daughter is a reflection of her parents, not herself. • Rule #19: A woman's worth is determined by her ability to elevate a man. • Rule #33: Love is a liability. Marry for power, stay for appearances. So when her parents announce her engagement to Eli Harrington, heir to a vast tech empire, Victoria accepts it silently. It's just another rule: "Rule #50: A Rothwell does not refuse a marriage that benefits the family." But Eli is nothing like the men her parents have groomed her to impress. Plus Eli is never far from His friends Troy, Gavin, and Luca.

He looked me in the eyes and lied... every single time. Golden couple. Perfect Toronto life. Everyone called us forever. Then came the earring that wasn't mine. The perfume that wasn't his. The late nights, the hotel receipts, the phone that buzzed with her name. Every confrontation ended the same: Callum staring straight into my soul-the woman he vowed to love-and feeding me pathetic, desperate lies. "It's nothing." "You're imagining it." "I'd never hurt you." I stayed silent. Cried in the shower. Smiled for the photos. Told myself he would change. He never did. One morning hope broke. I packed. Left the proof. Left the ring. Left him. No fight. No words. Just gone. Now he watches my name rise-books, galleries, success-while his world quietly collapses. Too late. No forgiveness. No second chances. Just a woman who endured betrayal in silence... then walked away like thunder. And never looked back💔❤️‍🔥

Six years ago, Cali Williams vanished without a word. One night of forbidden passion with her brother's best friend left her heartbroken... ...and carrying a secret she was never meant to face alone. Now she's back-bruised, guarded, and desperate to protect the only person who matters: her daughter, Isabelle who hasn't spoken a word in a year. Cali wants safety. She wants a fresh start. She definitely does not want to see Kane McKnight again-the man she loved, the man who shattered her, the man who can never know the truth. But fate has other plans. When Cali shows up at her brother Dex's penthouse, she doesn't expect to run into Kane there. Kane. Who is Older. Warmer. Still devastating handsome. And suddenly staring at her like she's a ghost he's been haunted by for years. Kane never forgot her. Not the way she looked at him. Not the tears he caused. Not the words he wished he could take back. Not the disappearance he's blamed himself for ever since. But the little girl napping in Dex's spare room changes everything. The art on the fridge. The toys scattered around the kitchen. The familiar shade in the child's eyes. Cali is hiding something. Kane can feel it in his bones. And the truth is about to break both of them. A story of second chances, healing from trauma, found family, buried secrets, and a love that refuses to die no matter how hard they try to kill it. ONLY EVER YOU Some stories begin with heartbreak. Some begin with lies. But theirs? It never really ended at all.
