Julianna Harper thought she knew control. Raised in the shadow of her mother, Helena Morrow, a woman who traded love for power, Julianna's life has always been a careful balance between obedience and escape. But when a chance encounter with the enigmatic billionaire Roman Lancaster turns her world upside down, everything she's ever known is called into question.
Suddenly, Julianna is caught between a mother who demands allegiance, a father she longs to see across oceans, and a man whose intentions are as inscrutable as they are magnetic. Roman offers more than protection-he offers a life wrapped in luxury, danger, and desire but at what cost?
As secrets unfold and alliances shift, Julianna must navigate a treacherous game of power, passion, and betrayal. In a world where love is transactional and loyalty is tested, can she trust the man who claims to want her... or will she become just another piece in someone else's plan?

Wrong Bride To The Right Husband
Aria is the beautiful, smart, and beloved daughter-praised by everyone and trusted with their father's company. But her twin sister, Alina, lives constantly in her shadow-unseen, uncelebrated, and forced to work under Aria's command. When Aria causes a major financial loss to a powerful, mysterious company owned by an unknown billionaire, their father is forced to pay a large sum in compensation. But it's not enough. In return, the company demands an unusual form of settlement: the CEO responsible must marry their CEO until the debt is cleared. To protect Aria, their parents make a secret decision. Alina is forced to marry the unknown CEO in Aria's place. She's terrified-of the marriage, the man, and the new life ahead. No one knows what he looks like, and he's never appeared in the media. He's a complete enigma. Alina's first night in the mansion is unsettling-she's kissed from behind by a stranger while humming a song known only to her and a long-lost love. The kiss stirs something in her, something painfully familiar. And when she finally meets her husband, Darren Blackwood, she's stunned. He looks familiar-too familiar-but she can't place him. As days pass, memories from eight years ago start surfacing. Clues hidden in the house, songs, and gestures slowly unravel the truth: Darren is the man who once loved her and vanished from her life. The heartbreak returns-but so does the spark. Their love story reignites, beginning with slow trust and deep emotion. But Aria, full of jealousy and rage, isn't done. She wages a subtle war to tear them apart, using lies and manipulation to destroy Alina's newfound happiness. Yet, against the odds, and despite the pain of the past, Darren and Alina prove that love-true, hard-earned love-can conquer even the deepest wounds and fiercest enemies.Complet
