Delilah Monroe has spent two years trapped in a marriage that was never meant for love. Born into wealth and bound by duty, she plays the role of the perfect wife in public-graceful, elegant, untouchable. But behind closed doors, her husband is nothing more than a stranger, cold and distant, as if she were just another business acquisition. Adrian Lennox has everything: power, fortune, control. But the one thing he truly wants-the woman he secretly loves-must never know the depth of his feelings. Love is a weakness, and in their world, weaknesses are exploited. He keeps her at arm's length, not realizing that in doing so, he's slowly losing her. Their marriage is a lie. Their love is untold. But when a spark of jealousy ignites old desires, and a whispered secret threatens to shatter their fragile façade, Adrian is forced to make a choice: keep hiding in the shadows or risk everything to claim what was always his. Because love may be dangerous, but letting her go might be deadly.

I ... I didn't even knew I was going to marry him till yesterday. I have no way to go now. I can't be stuck in loveless marriage, I can never marry a person who doesn't love me. I don't love him either. There is no point of this arrangement. How even he managed to get me here all dressed up anyways? My legs stuck to the ground as I was in front of him, He is a Ruthless man, he never ever can be kind. He barely speaks, No one speaks good about him. How can I marry a person as Him? I noticed he had a glance at me as my father was about to pass him my hand. What am I doing? Am I ready to let this happen to me? My feet moved back, I saw sudden change in his eyes. I had a glance at my Dad and Mom. My Elder brother Isaac who was standing there beside my Mom. My eyes went to Riccardo as he called my name, "Cherish ..." I got shivers. I took a few steps back, at this point everyone was looking at me. Riccardo looks me with some kind of betrayed feeling. Now or never..... THIS STORY CONTAINS VIOLET, ABUSIVE SCENES AND LANGUAGE....

Galilea Mirabel Brooks is not a lawyer. She has a doctorate, a successful career as a senior quantitative analyst at a hedge fund, and a resignation letter she's finally ready to submit. Then Elena Whitmore offers her a different future. Trading algorithms for litigation wasn't part of the plan. Neither were impossible cases, office politics, reluctant friendships, firm retreats, or discovering that some of the brightest legal minds in the country occasionally make spectacularly unsupported assumptions. Galilea came to Whitmore & Associates to analyze evidence. She didn't expect to find a place where she belonged. *One Easy Trick to Not Being a Lawyer* is the first novel in *Confessions of a Litigation Gremlin*, a character-driven legal drama about found family, quiet brilliance, and one wonderfully peculiar litigation analyst who keeps insisting she's not a lawyer. She's right. That doesn't stop anyone else from forgetting. #2 in legal - July 22nd, 2026.

***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain. *** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.

I glare at him, "I gave you information, so you let me go. That was the deal." He raises an eyebrow, "Are you forgetting who you're talking to? Watch your tone." "I will not watch my fucking tone, I want to leave, you told me I could leave." It's like I really did forget who I was talking to and the situation I was in, I currently didn't care, I just wanted out. His eyes darkened as he strolled up to me, grabbing my chin to meet his face. "Watch yourself Camille, you're in my territory right now, one wrong move and I could snap your neck like a twig.
