After toppling one of the most powerful dynasties in Philippine history, elite attorneys Vivienne Cruz and Celeste Ravencroft are hailed as legends-champions of justice, truth, and fearless advocacy. But peace is fleeting when a ghost from their courtroom past resurfaces... with a secret that threatens to destroy everything they've built.

As they unravel a deeper web of deceit, they must confront a devastating question:
What if their greatest legal victory was their biggest mistake?

Their pursuit of the truth takes them across borders-into Swiss vaults, hidden military archives, and the path of powerful enemies who will kill to keep the truth buried. Loyalties will fracture. Trust will be tested. And the passionate bond they share may become their only anchor as their names-and lives-hang in the balance.

Because sometimes, the enemy isn't who you thought it was.
Sometimes... it's the devil you know.

🏆ONC Honourable Mention 🏆ONC Shortlister 🏆ONC Ambassador's Pick ______ Celeste Hart, a rising music star, watches her dreams turn into a nightmare when she uncovers the dark truth behind her sudden fame. Lorelei Voss, a powerful and enigmatic industry mogul, is more than just Celeste's boss-she's a vampire who chose Celeste not only for her talent but because she is her fated soulmate. Bound by an ancient curse, Lorelei is irresistibly drawn to Celeste's blood, yet she can never taste it until the mate bond is sealed. Now that she knows the truth, Celeste's admiration and gratitude twist into fear, and a hatred far stronger than the undeniable pull she feels toward the creature who deceived her. She must choose: reject the bond and walk away or accept Lorelei for what she is. But how could she ever love a monster? Using these prompts: 9 - You've become famous, but there's a catch: your contract binds you to a demanding vampire boss who expects you to use your newfound fame to attract fresh blood for her. 11- Vampires are bound by an ancient destiny: Their soulmate is always human and this is governed by 3 rules. The smell of their soulmate's blood is irresistible, the taste is sweeter than anything else and if the love is unrequited, it can be fatal. Fearing the inevitable bond, most vampires try to avoid it. But what happens when one of them discovers their soulmate is a human who not only rejects them, but loathes them? 31 - Next time, ask yourself if your integrity is worth knowing the truth.

The Fox of Rotthendahl Celeste Hawthorne has spent her life chasing ghosts-of enemies, of secrets, of a past that refuses to stay buried. At thirty-one, the former CIA operative has traded covert missions for corporate intelligence, navigating a quieter but no less dangerous world. When her employer Alena Stavros grows suspicious of her brother's hedonistic behavior at Paris's elite Château Noir, Celeste is sent to investigate-discreetly. What she doesn't expect is her. In the middle of a velvet-draped hallway and an attempted abduction, Celeste steps in to save a stunning, unnamed woman dressed like royalty and radiating secrets. She plays the part of a jealous lover to throw the attackers off, pulls the woman to safety-and is rewarded with suspicion, silence, and a kiss. Before Celeste can get answers or even a name, the woman vanishes into the night, leaving only the burning imprint of a kiss and a gnawing sense that nothing about her was what it seemed. Celeste has spent years decoding lies. But this one? This mystery wrapped in silk and attitude? She can't let go. As threads unravel-from the cold case that defined her childhood to the storm brewing beneath the Château's luxury-Celeste finds herself pulled into a dangerous game. And at the heart of it is the woman who disappeared...and who might be the biggest lie of all. Beneath layers of deception, attraction sparks between two women on opposite sides of truth. But as old ghosts rise and enemies close in, Celeste must decide: can she outfox the past before it swallows them both?
