On the night she thought she would finally get everything she had ever wished for, Celeste Devereaux lost it all. The dazzling lights of her birthday gala became the stage of her humiliation. The man she spent years loving stood before everyone and reached for another woman's hand. Her best friend smiled. The cameras flashed. And the world watched as Celeste Devereaux became a joke. Heartbroken, she left the party without knowing that death was already waiting for her. A deserted road. A car chasing from behind. Brakes that wouldn't work. A blinding light. Then darkness. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself trapped beneath the ocean, staring at her own lifeless body. She thought nobody would come. She was wrong. A man she had never seen before dove into the freezing depths and carried her broken body back to the surface as if she were the most precious thing in the world. "I'm sorry." "I came too late." Unable to leave his side, Celeste followed him and uncovered the truth she had never known. The betrayal. The conspiracy. The people who destroyed her family. The secrets hidden behind every smile. And the identity of the man who loved her in silence. By the time she learned everything, it was already too late. Or so she thought. When fate sends her back to the past, Celeste is given another chance. This time, she won't chase the wrong man. This time, she won't ignore the people who truly care for her. And this time... She'll choose the man who crossed an ocean to find her. The man who avenged her. The man who loved her. Even after death. Because in her first life, she chose the man who destroyed her. In this life... She chooses him.

The day Raina Carter gave birth to twins should have been the happiest day of her life. Instead, it became the day her husband destroyed her. Hours after delivery, billionaire CEO Alexander Vaughn handed her divorce papers and forced her to give up custody of their newborn son. Weak from childbirth and blindsided by betrayal, Raina left with nothing except her daughter Ava and a heart too broken to fight back. But heartbreak did not destroy her. It rebuilt her. For six years, Raina disappeared from Alexander's world and created an empire of her own. Wealthy, respected, and emotionally untouchable, she becomes the woman he never imagined she could be. Then tragedy strikes. Their son Liam is dying, and Raina is the only match who can save him. Forced back into the life she escaped, Raina must face the man who shattered her while protecting the new life she fought to build. But Alexander is no longer the cold husband she remembers. Haunted by guilt and consumed by regret, he is desperate for another chance. The problem is that Raina no longer belongs to him. And this time, there is another man willing to love her the way she always deserved. Now Alexander must confront the truth: Some mistakes cost more than money. Some betrayals never heal. And sometimes the woman you break becomes impossible to win back.

[ONGOING] DEREK I loved my wife. I still do. But love didn't stop me from choosing desire over loyalty-or convincing myself I'd fix the damage before she noticed. I thought regret would be enough. It wasn't. MALORY When I discovered my husband's affair, I stayed for our daughter. She was only eleven months old, and I refused to give her the childhood I survived. But three years of empty rooms, broken promises, and watching him choose another woman carved something hollow inside me-until someone else filled it. I finally realised, my daughter deserves more than an absent father. And I deserve better than a cheating husband. Cancelled Mistakes is a dark, emotionally raw story of betrayal, forbidden love, and the brutal truth that some choices destroy everything-and asking forgiveness doesn't mean you deserve it. This book is strictly for mature audience🔞 Trigger warnings: This book contains on-page cheating.

Join Adrianna as she embarks on a journey to uncover her place in this enigmatic family, where everyone seems to love and hate each other in their own peculiar way.

Claire Montgomery is what you might call a mean girl. Cold, sharp-tongued, and perpetually unimpressed, she hates happy people, people who laugh too hard, and-most of all-people who won't shut up about their families. Disgusting. But after having her heart shattered by the only man who was ever kind to her, she does something wildly out of character-she takes a trip. Alone. No drama, no responsibilities, no past. What she doesn't expect is Ian Castillo. Loud. Overly enthusiastic. Obnoxiously good-looking. Worst of all? A family man. His entire family adopts her instantly, despite her scowls. His nieces and nephews invade her house. His mom feeds her like a lost puppy. And Ian? Ian is the worst of them all. He flirts shamelessly. Is overly kind and forgiving of her. Refuses to let her be alone. And yet... Why does her heart race when he looks at her like that? Why does she, the Ice Heiress, suddenly wonder what it's like to belong somewhere? And when her past comes calling-will she fight for happiness? Or will she do what she's always done-run? [Book 3 in the Billionaire Falls In Love Series] This story is coming soon!
