DECEPTION
Deception Ellie Brown has it all-beauty, power, and a legacy built on diamonds. As the CEO of Diamond Glow, she is the epitome of strength and success, but beneath her flawless exterior lies a heart weighed down by secrets, betrayals, and a family that sees her as both an asset and a rival. Her own brother harbors a grudge so deep that he vows to take everything from her. Her mother, ever calculating, demands a marriage that Ellie refuses to entertain. And then there's the past-buried truths that threaten to unravel everything she's built. Ryan Adams is a man living in the shadows of grief. Six years ago, he lost his sister and the woman he loved in a single, tragic moment. His father never forgave him. He never forgave himself. Now, drawn into a business deal with Ellie, he finds himself face-to-face with a woman who challenges him, intrigues him-and reminds him of everything he swore he'd never want again. Neither of them believes in love. Neither of them trusts easily. But when fate forces them into each other's orbit, tangled in a web of corporate battles, hidden enemies, and forbidden emotions, the line between business and desire begins to blur. But deception lurks in the shadows. The past is never truly buried, and the deeper they fall, the more dangerous the truth becomes. In a world where betrayal is currency and love is a liability, can two scarred souls defy the odds-or will the ghosts of their pasts tear them apart?Complete

MAFIA BOSS
The Twins, The Moon 🌙 & the Sun ☀️ Born into a legacy of power and privilege, Bianca and Brianna Valmora were the daughters of old money-a family name that held weight in boardrooms, private estates, and exclusive clubs across the globe. The Valmoras didn't just own companies; they shaped industries. Their empire, built on generations of calculated ambition, was as formidable as it was legendary. Though they were twins, Bianca and Brianna were as different as moonlight and sun. Brianna, the elder by six minutes, was the perfect heir in the eyes of the world. Elegant, poised, and always dressed for diplomacy, she was the face of the Valmora dynasty. Her smile closed deals, her presence commanded respect, and her words were precise, powerful, and public. She was always in the spotlight-on covers of business magazines, speaking at world summits, shaking hands with presidents. Bianca, on the other hand, was a mystery even to their closest allies. Free-spirited and elusive, she had little interest in fame. While Brianna led board meetings in glass towers, Bianca worked behind the scenes-crafting business strategies, handling critical paperwork, and securing hidden negotiations no one knew existed. She liked the shadows, not because she feared the light, but because she thrived where no one could control her. She didn't need validation; she only needed freedom. Despite their differences, the twins were unbreakable. When a jealous competitor publicly questioned Brianna's leadership and tried to drag her down with lies and media scandal, Bianca-without a word-hacked into the enemy's scheme, exposed their secrets, and crushed their leverage. Brianna never even had to ask. When Bianca went off-grid to backpack through South America for six weeks, the business world panicked at her disappearance. But Brianna covered for her sister, handled the legal documents in secret, and told the board, "Bianca is where she needs to be. She'll return when she's ready."Complete
