James & Sophie *DUAL POV* For years, I kept my feelings locked away. He unlocked them with one kiss. He said he wanted me. He said it was only us. He also said we had to keep it a secret. I thought love was worth the silence, until I overheard him talking about how he really felt about me. Now I have a choice: stay shattered, or rebuild myself without him. And this time, I won't break. TW: Mental Health, Bullying

I always thought we were destined to be together. A decade together and what seemed like the perfect love story. Until one day, it slowly started to unravel at the seams. I realized our "perfect" love story only looked so perfect because I was being complacent. Once I started to speak up for myself, the facade crumbled and it all came crashing down. This is my story.

Enzio was a Hunter for the Body. He'd taken an oath to do his job, no matter what he had to do. Just how far was he willing to go? The biggest fear he had was if his wife, Moxie, would be there when he revealed just how far he had gone.

My wife gave birth to a red-headed baby. Only problem is, no one in my family has red hair, and never has as far as we know, and no one in her family does either. So, I accused my wife of cheating on me right after she gave birth, demanded a DNA test before I'd believe the baby was mine and left her alone in her hospital room with the baby. It didn't take me long to realize my mistake. And then I had to win her back.

When Sebastian makes a mistake, he doesn't do it by half, no, he blows the word betrayal out of the window and up in to space. If messed up families got Guinness World Records, the Mayflowers and the McCabe's homes would be littered with them!

He made me his ol' lady. I thought it was because he'd finally seen me as more than my brother's little sister. Until I heard him talking with his ex, I didn't realize he was with me out of guilt, that he'd promised to protect me. So I ran and didn't look back...until I had to go back to find him waiting for me.

Ellie spent years rebuilding her life after public humiliation, loss, and betrayal at the hands of Renzo Bellavere - the golden boy who destroyed her family and never looked back. Now fate has bound them together. In a world where mates are sacred and refusal is taboo, Ellie must navigate a bond she never consented to, a society that demands compliance, and a man who believes destiny absolves everything he's done. This is not a story about instant forgiveness. It's about autonomy. About survival. And about what it takes to reclaim yourself when even fate is against you. FYI: this story explores mating bonds in an everyday world very similar to ours. They are not werewolves or vampires. Just humans with mating bonds!

Ten years ago, Alyssa Martin believed love was enough. She traded in her own spotlight for her husband's, becoming the quiet force behind Hollywood's golden boy Isaiah Martins, the man the world calls "Zay." To the public, their marriage is flawless red carpet smiles, luxury dinners, magazine covers that worship their "unbreakable bond." But behind the veil of perfection lies the truth: years of heartbreak, failed pregnancies, and a growing silence between them. As Isaiah's fame skyrockets, so does the pressure. His new co-star is dazzling, his team whispers about PR chemistry, and his hunger for power begins to consume him. Fame was supposed to be his salvation but it's becoming his downfall. And Alyssa? She's starting to realize that love isn't supposed to hurt this much. That sometimes, the greatest betrayal isn't another woman it's losing yourself while trying to hold someone else together. A Veil of Lies is a story about fame, love, and the price of silence a haunting portrait of a woman breaking under the weight of her own devotion. Beneath the glamour lies a battle with identity, self-worth, and mental scars that no one sees until it's far too late.

ADRIAN I thought I had everything. A woman I loved. A thriving career. A child we were about to welcome into the world. But one temptation from my past nearly destroyed everything I had built. Two years later, our marriage still stands. But forgiveness doesn't erase betrayal. And time doesn't always heal. Yet... could we ever truly come back?
