A marriage of convenience.
A heart never meant to be involved.
When Clara Evans loses her sister, she'll do anything to protect her niece-even marry a man who doesn't believe in love.
Alexander Graves is cold, powerful, and emotionally unreachable. To him, marriage is a contract, not a promise. Their union is meant to be simple: shared custody, shared space, no feelings involved.
But living with a man who touches her without tenderness and walks away without regret slowly breaks Clara in ways she never expected. And when she stops hoping, stops asking, and starts choosing herself, Alexander realizes the truth too late-
The woman he never meant to love is the one he's about to lose.
A slow-burn, emotionally intense romance about sacrifice, silence, and learning the cost of taking love for granted.

But before she could celebrate her little victory against him he pulled her from her wrist and she collided with his hard chest. Snaking an arm around her waist he held her tightly as she struggled in his hold. "Don't play with fire, Ms Lilly Jones or don't complain to me later if you end up getting burned."

From Mistake to Forever
The first time Sophie realized her life could change in a single night, she had no idea it would unravel so completely. It was supposed to be harmless...just a drink, some laughter, a little escape from the monotony of her daily routine. But the city has a way of hiding secrets in its glittering lights, and she had stumbled straight into one. She remembered the way his eyes had caught hers across the crowded room, the slow, dangerous smile that made her stomach flip, the magnetic pull she couldn't resist. He was everything she shouldn't want and yet, everything she wanted in that moment. By the time the night ended, she was alone, heart racing, sheets tangled around her like evidence of a decision she wasn't ready to face. And she thought that was the end of it. She was wrong. Because three weeks later, when the world felt the same and nothing had changed, Sophie discovered the truth. She wasn't alone. Not really. Her hands shook as she stared at the tiny lines that confirmed it: her life had shifted irreversibly. A secret grew inside her, a mystery she hadn't asked for. And the father...who he was, what he would do was a question that could change everything. Little did she know, he was closer than she thought. Closer than anyone could imagine. And when their worlds collided, there would be no turning back. Some mistakes aren't meant to be forgotten. Some nights aren't meant to be erased. Some love... finds you when you least expect it.Kumpleto
