Revenge is sweet...until love makes it bitter. Yoon Jeonghan and Kim Ara are like ships passing in the night, unaware of each other's existence. However when Jeonghan's dad, who runs a big company, cheats on his wife with Ara's mom, who works as his secretary, everything gets messy and Jeonghan is consumed by a desire for revenge. His scheme? Make Ara fall head over heels for him, and then walk away, leaving her broken. "Jeonghan's smile was laced with a hint of determination as his gaze drifted to her lips. He sensed that this might be the moment to bring his revenge to a close, and he was ready to make it a reality on this very night. 'Why do you insist on denying what's happening between us, hmm princess?' 'I can see it, even if you won't admit it. You may not like me, but the attraction is undeniable, and you can't hide it.' His words held a note of conviction, and he continued to look at her lips, underscoring the unspoken tension that simmered between them. Ara couldn't help but despise the way he made her feel. She detested the way her body responded to his touch. However, the undeniable truth couldn't be denied any longer. The attraction between them had become an inescapable reality, and she found herself caught in its grip. Sensing that Ara was lost in deep thought, Jeonghan slowly moved his hand to her chin and gently lifted it to meet her gaze. 'I'll give you the chance to push me away,' Jeonghan murmured, his voice low and intimate. He leaned closer to her lips, and she could feel his minty breath brushing against her soft skin. 'But if you don't,' Jeonghan continued, his voice a sultry whisper, 'then I'll gladly show you how pleasure feels.' His lips brushed against hers as he spoke, igniting a spark of desire in the charged atmosphere between them. 'Give me the chance to light a flame between us.'"

"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐲." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH. This book was immaculate. I could NOT put it down at all. Every chapter was AMAZING, the writing is shakespears work and each chapter made me laugh, smile, cry so much and this whole thing was a rollercoaster of emotions." -@Sunfloweraate8

Hawkins, Indiana is the kind of town where everyone knows everyone-and secrets never stay buried. Seventeen-year-old Charlotte Hopper, better known as Lottie, has lived in Hawkins her entire life. After losing her little sister Sarah to cancer five years ago, her world has never quite been the same. Her mom left, and ever since, it's just been Lottie and her dad, Chief Jim Hopper, trying to hold their broken family together in their small trailer on the edge of town. Lottie learned early how to survive heartbreak. Funny, stubborn, and fiercely protective of the people she loves, Lottie refuses to let Hawkins High define her. She stands up for the bullied, especially her best friend Jonathan Byers-the town's favorite target. Most afternoons she escapes the drama of high school by babysitting the Wheeler kids, where Lucas, Dustin, Mike, and Will see her as the cool older sister they never had. But Lottie has one problem she can't escape. Steve Harrington. A year ago, Steve was her boyfriend. Now he's the boy who broke her heart and chose popularity-and Nancy Wheeler-instead. Lottie hates everything about him now: King Steve, his stupid hair, and the way he acts like none of it mattered. She's determined to forget him. Until the night everything in Hawkins changes. When Will Byers suddenly disappears without a trace, the quiet town begins to unravel. As the search begins and strange things start happening in the shadows, Lottie finds herself pulled into a mystery far darker than anyone imagined. And the last person she wants to rely on... is Steve Harrington.
