Pregnant. Betrayed. And the father is the last man she expected: her ex-boyfriend's formidable father, billionaire Silas Thorne. Reeling from her cousin's deceit and her boyfriend's cheating, Elara Hayes faces a double shock - pregnant with twins by the intimidating Silas. Silas, thirty-seven and ruthlessly decisive, sees an irresistible opportunity. He offers Elara a deal dripping with vengeance: "Marry me. It's the ultimate revenge against my son." Thrust into a gilded cage built on retribution, Elara must protect herself and her unborn babies. But living under the same roof as the dangerously magnetic Silas threatens to shatter their cold arrangement. Can a marriage forged in revenge truly pave the path to love? Or will family loyalties tear them apart? Cradle-snatcher? Disrespectful father? Silas Thorne welcomed the whispers. He played to win, and Elara was his prize. He wasn't giving her back.

Xue Ning's entire family died in battle. She grew up in the Marquis of Xuanyi's household and deeply adored Su Zhan, the heir who had grown up with her since childhood. With a cup of spring wine laced with something extra, she fulfilled her wish and became his wife. Later, Su Zhan rose to become the all-powerful Grand Secretary. The two of them appeared respectful and harmonious, and were once considered one of the rare love stories in the capital. Everyone said that she, an orphaned girl, was blessed to marry such a man. Only she knew how many lonely, silent nights she endured alone. He had a "white moonlight" he loved but could never obtain-and he had never loved her. Because she had once offered herself to him, he despised her. So he sent her away to an old country estate for five years. She sent letter after letter back to the capital, but none were ever answered. Helpless and alone, she was eventually burned alive in a fire set by others, dying with hatred in her heart. ... After being reborn, the first thing Xue Ning did was overturn the cup of spring wine that had originally been prepared for Su Zhan. Then, she carefully chose a fiancé for herself. At a family banquet, with relatives gathered, Xue Ning walked up to Su Zhan, her arm hooked around her fiancé's. "Grand Secretary, this is my fiancé. Please look after him in the future." The always cold and restrained Grand Secretary instead began to crumble, his eyes red: "Xue Ning... I was the one who knew you first!" *Original Translation* ©All Rights reserved

A forbidden summer. A dangerous attraction. A line begging to be crossed. When twenty-one-year-old Samantha Whitmore returns to her father's farmhouse for the summer, the last thing she expects is him. Everett Mahoney - her father's best friend, now back in town to help fix up the place. Older. Taller. Broader. And devastatingly handsome. It's been over a decade since Sam last saw Everett, but he's nothing like she remembers. With his mischievous smirk, quiet confidence, and hands that make broken things whole, Everett awakens something in her she's never dared explore. What starts as innocent glances and teasing banter quickly blurs into something much more dangerous. She knows it's wrong. He knows it's off-limits.
