After fleeing her abusive ex in the middle of the night, Chloe Dawson arrives in a small coastal town with nothing but a duffel bag, a crying six-month-old baby, and the last of her savings. She rents a tiny apartment where the walls are paper-thin. Next door lives Sergeant Mason Kane, disciplined, exhausted, emotionally closed off, and currently on leave between military assignments. After years in the army, silence is the only thing that helps him sleep. Then the baby starts crying every night. At first, Mason is irritated. Chloe is terrified of him. Every knock on the door reminds her of the man she escaped.

He paid her to disappear... but he never knew she left with his child. Five years later, she's built a quiet life far from the man who broke her. But when billionaire Ethan Cole walks back into her world, one secret threatens to destroy everything Because this time... he's not letting her go.

Married to brilliant surgeon Ciaran Wilson, the man who once stood in pouring rain just to drive her home, Leah spends her nights with cold dinners and broken promises while he saves lives at the hospital. Leah faces a heartbreaking question: how long can Madame keep waiting for a husband who no longer chooses her?

Anaya Mehra was never meant to fall in love with a man like him. Elegant, kind, and powerful-Aaryan Rathore walked into her life like a dream. He made her laugh, made her feel seen, and gave her the kind of love stories are made of. What began with gentle glances turned into midnight conversations, stolen moments, and soft promises of forever. But some promises are laced with poison. Behind his perfect smile hides a truth no one dares to speak. Behind her father's quiet eyes lies a past too dangerous to forget. And when their two worlds collide, the mask of love begins to crack... revealing something far more dangerous beneath. A proposal is coming. But this time, it's not a question-it's a warning. In a world where power wears a suit and love hides sharp teeth... Will she escape the villain's love, or become the crown he refuses to share? "Not all villains steal empires-some steal hearts first."

She was forced into marriage to save her family. He agreed to marry her because well, he can do whatever he pleases. Anastasia Morettin thought returning home after five years meant reconciliation with her father. Instead, she walked into a nightmare-her stepsister had stolen her longtime boyfriend, and her father had arranged her marriage to a man even colder than betrayal itself. Niklaus Montgomery is ruthless, powerful, and untouchable. A billionaire feared in boardrooms and high society alike. To him, love is a weakness, and emotions are a liability. When his family forces him into an unwanted marriage, he sees Anastasia as nothing more than a pawn in a high-stakes game. Trapped in a loveless union, Anastasia suffers under her stepmother's cruelty and Niklaus's icy indifference. But as secrets unravel-including the truth behind her mother's death-she begins to fight back. And somewhere in the war between them, Niklaus finds his cold heart beginning to thaw. But danger lurks in the shadows. Betrayal comes from within. And when the past collides with the present, love may not be enough to save them. He vowed he would never love. She vowed she would never break. In the end, only one of them can win. A heart-wrenching, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance filled with passion, betrayal, and the battle between love and power.

"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOK

She gave him a flower. He never thought it would change everything. Because sometimes, love begins with a single peony. . . . . There's something magical about Tuesdays. Not unicorns-in-the-sky magical, but the kind of magic where strangers spill coffee, curse under their breath, and keep moving like it's part of the city's rhythm. That's where you'd usually find Solana Montenegro-elbow-deep in peonies at the flower shop, humming to herself, and occasionally yelling joy at strangers who looked like they hadn't laughed since kindergarten. That's how she met him. Tall. Stormy. A suit so sharp it could cut glass. Mr. Moody Grumpsuit. And when she shoved a flower into his hand and told him he needed it, Xander Night had no idea it was the first crack in his perfectly controlled world. It started with a peony. And it was only the beginning.

And you're mine." I peck his lips and he squeezes my neck in return. I can still feel the embers of his angry, lying just below the surface of his skin. "Always, jaan. It's a pleasure to be yours." His lips meet mine in a slow kiss which quickly turns into something passionate, neither of us willing to back down. I take his anger that he drowns into this kiss and show him my love in return. * Jeea Mehta has always lived in the shadow of her perfect older sister.
