Valeria Patterson is the IT woman. She has everything: the looks, the brains, and not to mention the countless billions of dollars she owns. She's been grinding to get where she is since the young age of 14 after her parents and uncle are killed in a car crash. Her Aunt Ivy and herself are the only survivors of said event. Since then Valeria has seen her Aunt Ivy struggle to make ends meet when she takes it upon herself to support what family she has left. Her high intelligence allowed her to invest in stocks with the money she's earned working her average high school jobs and before she could process it she was in the millions! Now 12 years later and waist-deep into money and business, her life is everything she has created it to be. Still....she just can't seem to shake the vivid memories of her family's death from her mind, causing her to be perceived as a cold and uninterested person. She ends up working on an investment with a globally known billionaire Italian panty-dropper, Nicolas Roselli who notices Valeria isn't the one to fall for his played-out romantic advances; one night she drinks a little bit more than she should have and ends up in the arms of none other than Nicolas. Her life begins in a swirl of drama and heartbreak as she figures out just who Nicolas Roselli is and why he has become such a prominent figure in her life. Is he the guy she's been searching for to bring her life to happiness? Or is he the one to make sure that never happens?

I opened my mouth maybe to say it was okay, maybe to ask something but the words died when he suddenly leaned across the console, cupping my face between his large, calloused hands.

His kiss wasn't soft it was hungry, demanding everything I had to give. . . . Issa Andrews is beyond excited to start her first semester at Redwood University. Naïve, bright-eyed, and full of hope, that's how most would describe her. She has dreams of her own, goals she's determined to chase.

WARNING: This novel contains depictions of Rape, Abuse and Violence. Read at your own risk. 18 year old Starr has never had it easy in life. Her mother died giving birth to her, her father turned into a deranged, violating wolf and to top it off she was forced to get married to an Alpha who acts more wolf than human. In this world where the strong reigns surpreme, how was a weak wolf like Starr supposed to survive? Especially with a recessive wolf that rarely interacted with her. Will her tormenting ever be over? 《Short Preview》 "You're marked by another," he stated cooly, his eyes drilling into the puncture wound that decorated my neck. Despite the calm his voice carried, my body shuddered at the pressure behind his words and the hidden dangers that laid beneath his gaze. I trembled and averted my eyes with pursed lips, trying my best to be brave. "So what? I'm a mated wolf now, which means I was never meant to be yours." His eyes narrowed in on my face as they swirled with reckless abandon. "What was made for me will forever be mine. That pup that you went and played with can't stop me from tearing that mark off your shoulder." My eyes snapped up to his in surprise as I gawked in disbelief... and a little ounce of foreboding at the man before me, "y-you can't do that!" He raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Are you gonna stop me?" I couldn't help but retort, "My mate would kill you!" His voice heightened as he finally lost his cool and snarled, "I'M YOUR MATE! There isn't a person on this earth that could kill me, let alone your bastard. You should be worried about what I'll do to HIM for forcing himself on MY WOMAN!" I flinched and took a few cautious steps backwards. Then I whispered, "who are you?" The man's lips tilted up into a ridiculing smile as he replied, "I'm the part of your soul that you chose to forsake."
