Julie "Jules" Evans never imagined she'd marry a billionaire; especially not Aaron Carter, the man who humiliated her years ago. But when her sister's medical bills spiral out of control, she has no choice. Aaron needs a wife to secure a high-stakes merger, and Jules needs money. A contract, a marriage, one year. That's all. Living with him is nothing like she expected. Behind the cold suits and sharper words is a man who cares, protects, and challenges her in ways she can't ignore. One year. One contract. And feelings neither of them planned. When the deal ends, will Jules walk away with the money... or the man she never meant to love?

Layla Collins never planned on transferring to Crescent University, but when her dream program opened up, she jumped at the chance. The only downside? Her overprotective older brother-the captain of the hockey team-already rules campus like he owns it. And his one rule? Stay away from his teammates. Dean Harper should be off-limits. He's the team's star winger, her brother's best friend, and the guy she's had a secret crush on since high school. Now they're living in each other's orbit-study sessions in the library, team parties, lazy afternoons at the hockey house-and pretending the spark between them doesn't exist is getting harder every day. Dean knows crossing the line could destroy everything: his spot on the team, his friendship with his captain, his shot at the NHL. But the more time he spends with Layla, the less he cares about rules. Because some risks are worth taking. Sneaking around was supposed to be fun. Temporary. Harmless. But when secrets come crashing onto the ice, Dean will have to prove that what he feels for Layla isn't a game-it's the most important win of his life.

Franny Harlow never expected to become a nanny-especially not for Enzo Westbrook, the ruthless billionaire with a reputation as cold as the steel empire he built. But with bills piling up and her six-year-old son, Mason, to care for, she takes the job, determined to keep things strictly professional. Enzo has spent years shutting out the world, haunted by the tragic loss of his wife. His only concern is his five-year-old daughter, Sophie, who hasn't spoken a word since the accident. But when Franny enters their lives, everything changes. Sophie begins to smile again, Mason becomes the little brother Sophie never had, and Enzo finds himself drawn to Franny in a way he never expected. What starts as stolen glances and lingering touches soon becomes something neither of them can ignore. But Enzo is engaged to Victoria Langley, a woman who fits perfectly into his world-on paper. And Franny, still scarred by her past, refuses to be anyone's dirty little secret. When passion ignites and buried emotions rise to the surface, Enzo must make a choice: stay locked in a life of duty and guilt, or risk everything for the woman who has brought his heart back to life.

From stormy seas to a jailbreak in Mathis, chaos reigns as a cursed map points to Athena's forbidden heart. Pirates, prophecies, and a fight for survival-will they break the chains or sink in the storm?
