Alanna did everything in her power to gain her parents' approval: wore the right clothes, dated the right men, attended the right parties, and made enough money to get them through the doors of high society that had long been out of their reach. Instead of a thank you for all she had done, she was blamed for reacting the wrong way to finding out her husband had been cheating on her with her younger sister-and her family wanted her to accept it because it was "true love." When Alanna decided she was done vying for her parents' approval and started feeling isolated, an old classmate came to her with an offer she couldn't refuse: marry him and join one of the most powerful families in town. The catch? Intimacy was off the table. Any plans for future children would be done through surrogacy or artificial insemination. Deciding this was the only way to regain her dignity, she agreed. But her growing attraction to her new husband made the no-intimacy rule all the more unwelcome.

Love. Amore. Call it what You will. Whatever its name, once You feel it, You know. There is no denying it, hiding from it, or pretending it does not exist. Even if You are too stubborn to admit its existence... With that in mind, I invite You to a tale of Bianca Foxx. She is a woman confident in her own ability to face and conquer the world. Smart, beautiful, and witty beyond words. She doesn't need anyone in her life to open doors for her or sweep her off her feet. That is, until she runs into Massimo Toscana, a composed and unruffled lawyer set in his ways, smooth with his words like a perfectly aged Italian wine, and just as stubborn as Bianca... If You enjoyed the love story written in "FOR THE LOVE OF ISTANBUL", then some of the characters may ring a familiar tune, for Bianca is Kader's niece. And the next one in line to try to face off with true love's Fate... This story was inspired by the wonderfully talented Can Yaman. By his smile, by his eyes, by his heart... I hope You enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. 🖋JK

Just when Brian begins to believe happiness might finally be within reach, the past returns with one heartbreaking request that changes everything. Now Brian, Mylie, and Addie must face a question no one is prepared to answer: Is motherhood defined by blood... or by the person who chooses to stay?

One lesson I learned very early in life was to be cheerful, to be agreeable, to do as I was told and ask for nothing, and to never ever complain. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and maybe they'll love you. I grew into an adult who took care of others and never expected that those I loved would take care of me in return. I gave and never asked, never expected, never demanded. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and you'll find someone that will love you. And then one day, a Dragon walked into my workplace and turned my world upside down with a single wink. Having grown up watching his father treat his men like they were disposable, just meat bags to be fed into the grinder, Dragon was determined to be different when he became president of the Dragon's Inferno MC. He cares about his people. He takes care of them. He was upfront with me, taking care of his MC and those he considered to be his would always be his priority. And I agreed to that, I joined him in that mission, throwing myself into becoming the perfect old lady of the prez. Smile Maddie. Act happy Maddie. Take care of them and maybe they'll love you. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't complain and maybe he'll love you. I told myself I was independent. I was strong. And I didn't need my Dragon to take care of me. And I almost believed it. Almost. But now I'm watching him with her. I'm watching him comfort her. I'm watching him listen to her, support her, reassure her. I'm watching him take time from his day to check in with her. I'm watching him worry about her. I'm watching them become closer right in front of my eyes. I'm seeing every thoughtful gesture he does for her. And me? I'm not happy. I'm not smiling. I'm done being agreeable. Fuck not causing trouble. I'm about to set my Dragon's world on fire. And then I'm walking away. She can have him. For the first time in my life, I'm choosing myself.
