I was seventeen when I learned the family I grew up with wasn't mine. I was standing in a school computer lab, fixing a line of code, when my mother's voice broke over the phone and rewrote my entire life. A hospital mistake. A mass-casualty night. Two babies switched at birth. The wealthy Blake family-the tech empire everyone knows-has a daughter who isn't biologically theirs. And I'm the one who is. When I'm brought to the Blake estate, I expect answers. Maybe distance. Maybe awkwardness. What I don't expect is the girl they raised refusing to let go-and the family choosing her anyway. Vivienne Blake is everything I'm not: polished, fragile, adored. And she's terrified of losing the life she was given. So she does what anyone desperate would do. She turns them against me. As secrets surface, loyalties fracture, and blood proves less powerful than comfort, I'm forced to ask myself one question: What do you do when the family that belongs to you... doesn't want you?

Sasha Michael thought she had everything, a loving husband, a comfortable life, and a family who adored her. But when the truth about her marriage shatters the world she built, she's forced to make an impossible choice: protect the people who turned their backs on her... or protect herself. In a battle between love, loyalty, and survival, Sasha must decide how much she's willing to lose before she finally walks away.

"Let's get a divorce." The words should have broken her. Instead, she felt nothing. Claire Bennett thought she had built a quiet, ordinary marriage with Ethan Miller until the day he asked to leave for his first love, Vanessa Reed. Without tears or arguments, Claire signs the papers and walks away, determined to return her life to the way it was before Ethan. But cutting contact completely is never simple. Vanessa's envy runs deep, and Ethan's certainty begins to crumble as the woman he left behind starts to shine without him. When a mysterious artist named Ryan Carter steps into Claire's life, he challenges everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and self-worth. In a world where appearances mean everything, Claire learns that the greatest revenge is peace, and that the right love never asks her to wait.

(BOOK 1 Of the QUEENS OF CHAOS SERIES) Isa Valen doesn't believe in restraint. Two weeks ago, she did champagne, a sinfully accented stranger, and a night so consuming she ran before sunrise. She doesn't remember his face. She doesn't remember his name. But her body remembers the way he made it burn. When her sister runs to New York, Isa follows without hesitation. New city. New job. New distractions. Then she meets her boss. Erik Orlov. Billionaire. Bratva Don. A devastatingly gorgeous tattooed man built from control and violence wrapped in tailored suits. The first time he looks at her, something tightens in her chest. The first time he steps close, her pulse betrays her. She doesn't recognize him. He recognizes the curve of her mouth. The sound she made when he touched her. The way she ran. The night she can't remember is the one he hasn't stopped replaying. Now she works beneath him - in his office, in his space, in his world. Every glance lasts too long. Every accidental touch feels deliberate. Every breath between them feels charged. And Erik Orlov does not chase. He claims. Enemies circle his empire. Loyalty fractures. Power shifts. But none of it unsettles him like the woman sitting across his desk, pretending she doesn't feel it too. Until two pink lines appear. Because the only thing more dangerous than their chemistry... Is the secret growing between them. And this time, he won't let her run.

Maggie Lane didn't plan to start over-especially not in a sleepy mountain town where the biggest excitement is the Friday night rodeo and gossip spreads faster than wildfire. But when her picture-perfect life in the city crumbled and her charming fiancé revealed a much darker side, Maggie packed her bags, changed her number, and ran. Now hiding behind a new last name and living in the guest house of a reclusive single dad, she's trying to rebuild her life in peace. Her new job as nanny to a spunky five-year-old girl seems like the fresh start she desperately needs-until quiet mornings and home-cooked dinners start to feel dangerously like home. And her brooding boss, Dawson Rhodes? He's the last man she should fall for. Stoic. Grumpy. Protective. And far too observant for Maggie's comfort. But Dawson has shadows of his own-raising his daughter alone after a devastating betrayal, he's sworn off relationships. Until Maggie crashes into his life with her stubborn streak, soft heart, and the kind of fire he thought he'd forgotten how to feel. Just as Maggie begins to let her guard down, strange things start happening: an unmarked package left on the porch, a familiar car spotted in town, and late-night calls from a blocked number. It's not just paranoia. Her ex is still out there. Watching. Waiting. Now, Maggie has to decide if she's ready to stop running-and whether this quiet little town and the cowboy who's captured her heart are worth fighting for.
