Six months of contracts. Zero sleep. One promise: on Friday at 5:00, Topaz Lee is off the clock and off the grid. The curvy, sharp accounts manager has earned a week of sun and selective amnesia-until a wrong table and a louder room put her in the crosshairs of people who think price tags equal pedigree. Enter Jae-Hyun Choi and Jin-Jae Choi-Seoul's billionaire brothers and heirs to a chaebol empire. In their world, bloodlines are currency, women are vetted like mergers, and an American Black woman from "nowhere" is a scandal, not a soulmate. But Topaz is nobody's cautionary tale. She negotiates empires for breakfast. She laughs at velvet ropes. And when a public slight turns into a viral storm, the brothers learn the one thing money can't buy: her respect-or her yes. Boardrooms become battlegrounds. Family councils become trials. Desire becomes dangerous. If she steps inside their world, she risks being remade to fit it. If she walks away, she loses the men who saw her fire and didn't flinch. Is Topaz the gemstone that cracks an empire-or the girl the empire crushes?

(BWWM) For the women who crave raw, jealous, possessive sex. "My wife," he growls, his voice rough with restraint, as his lips trail down my neck. I moan softly, threading my fingers through his hair, his touch burning despite the chill of his kisses. His hands grip my waist, firm and possessive, anchoring me to him. "Your wife," I whisper breathlessly, my body trembling as a shiver of pleasure ripples down my spine. He pulls back with a low groan, his eyes dark and hungry. "I can't," he murmurs, his voice tight, as if holding back is its own torment. I tug him closer, my nails grazing his scalp. "Just be gentle," I plead, my voice heavy with need. His gaze searches mine, a storm of hesitation and desire. "Are you sure?" "Yes," I breathe, my resolve unwavering. The moment the word leaves my lips, he's on me. His mouth crashes into mine, the kiss hot and consuming, as if he's starved for me. His hands slide up to my neck, one tangling in my hair, the other gripping my waist as he lifts me with ease. I gasp into his mouth as my legs wrap around his waist, feeling his hard dick press against me. Pinned against the wall, he grinds against me, each movement sending waves of heat coursing through me. My nails rake down his back as his lips claim mine over and over, his body pressed so close there's no space left between us. ~ Eden has always been a pawn in her father's game, and now she's forced into a marriage with the vampire prince of Trazethen.
