Book 2/3

Arabella Montclair built her empire on control - every decision, every detail, every part of her untouchable world crafted to perfection. But falling for Charlotte Kane, the resilient young mother with a past full of shadows, shattered every rule she lived by.

Now, their secret is no longer safe.

One photograph is all it takes to ignite a storm of gossip, scandal, and judgment. Overnight, Charlotte is thrust into Arabella's glittering public world - where whispers cut sharper than knives, and enemies wait in the shadows. With her daughter Seraya caught in the crossfire, Charlotte begins to wonder if love with Arabella is worth the cost.

But Arabella isn't letting go. Not of Charlotte. Not of Seraya. And certainly not when Charlotte's abusive ex resurfaces, more dangerous than ever.

Between the flash of paparazzi cameras, the weight of family expectations, and threats that strike too close to home, Arabella and Charlotte must fight harder than ever to protect the fragile love they've built.

Passion brought them together. Secrets and fire could tear them apart.

And this time, walking away isn't an option.All Rights Reserved

My Best Friend's Mother. by kelsbel01

A slow-burn, taboo, age-gap romance about timing, temptation, and the quiet pull of the unexpected When Rowan transfers to an architect university, hoping for a quiet reset. She doesn't expect to click so effortlessly with Liana, a fellow student with a brilliant mind, a messy sketchbook, and a tendency to adopt people without asking. But Liana's world comes with something else. A home that feels too beautiful to belong to a college student and a mother who seems too poised, too self-assured, too observant to ignore. Liana's mother is everything Rowan doesn't understand yet, very composed, magnetic, and unsettling in ways that linger long after she leaves the room. Their connection is subtle at first. A glance. A pause. A conversation that feels heavier than it should. As Rowan becomes more entangled in Liana's world, she finds herself drawn to the one person she was never supposed to notice. The boundaries blur. The silences deepen. And the question of what's right becomes far more complicated than she ever imagined. My Other Books; Miss Blackwood Power, passion, and secrets. Love that demands everything. Aphrodite -My Tail Leads Me To You When divine desire calls, the heart follows its own mysterious path. - Sequel- Mrs. Blackwood. The Silent Confession. Thirsting For Her. ©2025

Charlotte is the daughter of the CEO and founder of the agency, which is one of the biggest companies in the state and one of the most prestigious. Jenny is attracted to Charlotte from the first moment she sees her, but Charlotte is engaged to Jeffrey Cole, her father's protégé and the COO of the company. With a new campaign to launch, Jenny finds herself working closely with Charlotte and having a hard time controlling her attraction. But this is her time to prove herself, and she won't let a little infatuation-so she tells herself-stop her. It doesn't help that sometimes it feels like Charlotte feels something for her too. *smut *adult #my first story and english is not my native language.

Fire & Silk by MidnightSecrets

Book 1/3 Arabella Montclair has it all-the power, the wealth, the reputation. At twenty-nine, she's one of the most feared and admired CEOs in New York, but her heart is locked behind walls built from betrayal and relentless advances from people who only want her for her money, her body, or her name. Assistants never last longer than a week-too busy flirting, too busy chasing her. Until Charlotte Kane walks into her office. At twenty-five, Charlotte is running-from an abusive ex, from poverty, from a past that keeps clawing at her. With her four-year-old daughter, Seraya, in tow, she's desperate for stability and a paycheck, not romance. But when Arabella hires her, the lines between professional and personal blur quickly. Charlotte's sweetness, resilience, and unshakable devotion to her daughter stir something Arabella hasn't felt in years. Soon, the cold CEO and the struggling single mom find themselves entangled in a passion that's as dangerous as it is irresistible. Arabella can buy anything-except Charlotte's heart. And Charlotte swore she'd never let another powerful person control her. But what happens when desire becomes impossible to ignore, the past comes knocking, and both women are forced to face what they fear most: falling in love?

Signed, Sealed & Loved? [WLW] by tales_inmaking

"One year. That's all it'll take. In this marriage, I'll make your life a living hell. You'll hate every second of it, and by the end, you'll regret even knowing my name." "My life's already a mess, Charlotte. Not sure what more you can do to top it. But go on, give it your best shot. Just try not to fall in love with me while you're at it, yeah?" "And now, you may kiss the bride." the officiant declared, sealing the deal. __________________________________________ June Hayes is just another corporate worker-long hours at the office, late-night drinks with friends, and stumbling through her twenties with a mix of chaos and charm.

When her carefully guarded world crumbles, June is faced with an impossible choice: agree to a marriage contract with Charlotte Rutherford, a cold, calculating heiress she's never met, or risk losing everything.

She has her own code, and she's determined to sever all ties with the underworld and shut down their illicit deals. This defiance-especially by someone so young, does not sit well with Valencia Romano, the ruthless mafia leader who's used to commanding fear and obedience. Her hatred for Sofia is fierce and unmistakable. Yet, despite every instinct screaming otherwise, something about Sofia pulls at her attention, unsettling the control she's always held. Is it hate, or something far more complicated?
