She was never meant to fall for the decoy.

When Lacy Whispertyne starts her new job at TechQuest, she expects code reviews, awkward team lunches, and maybe a quiet fresh start.

She doesn't expect Jacob Steven.

Separated. Devoted father. Still entangled in a marriage that refuses to die quietly.
Their connection is immediate - intense, consuming, worth the complications.

But Jacob's estranged wife, Karen, doesn't do quiet.

She escalates.

Public scenes.
Online smears.
Emotional manipulation through their children.
And when a workplace "accident" lands Lacy in hospital, the truth is darker than anyone expected.

To protect her, Jacob pulls back.

To shield her from Karen's fury, Dominic - Jacob's best friend - steps in.

At first, Dominic is just the decoy.
The distraction.
The man who makes it look like Lacy has moved on.

But Dominic doesn't pretend well.

He carries her when she's hurt.
He stays when Jacob can't.
He doesn't love loudly - he loves steadily.

And steady is dangerous.

Because when protection turns into something deeper...
When loyalty collides with longing...
When one conscious kiss crosses a line that can't be uncrossed...

Someone is going to lose.

In a world of custody battles, whispered threats, and fragile hearts, Lacy must decide:

Does she fight for the man who feels like fire?
Or choose the one who feels like home?

The Decoy is perfect for readers who love:

Emotionally intense love triangles

Protective, morally conflicted men

Workplace drama and escalating ex-wife chaos

Slow-burn tension that becomes explosive

They performed her last rites. While she was still alive. Akshara Maheshwari was erased from her own family before she could even understand what she had done wrong. Abandoned, forgotten, and declared dead, she disappeared from the world that once called her blood. Years later, she returns - not as a broken child begging for answers, but as AK - a name the world admires, fears, and follows. She doesn't come back for forgiveness. She doesn't ask for love. And she doesn't reveal herself easily. Because some wounds don't need apologies - they need truth, power, and reckoning. As the Maheshwaris celebrate, lie, and protect their secrets, the past claws its way back into the present. A past involving betrayal, silence, a sold child, and a savior who changed her fate. What happens when a family realizes the daughter they buried... is the woman who now controls their empire? And what if revenge isn't her goal - but taking back what was always hers? A story of abandonment, survival, silent revenge, and a girl who learned to smile while planning her return. Read to find out: Will the truth destroy them... or will Akshara destroy the truth first?

Valeria didn't rush. She never did. Inez was pinned beneath her, wrist locked overhead, the hold precise and impersonal. Not pain. Control. Inez scoffed anyway. "That's it?" she sneered. "I've had tutors scarier than you." Valeria said nothing. The silence pressed in. "You don't scare me," Inez added, louder. Brattier. "You just-" "Enough." One word. Flat. Final. Valeria lifted Inez's chin with two fingers, detached as a correction. "Look at me," she said coolly. "If you're going to embarrass yourself, do it properly." Inez laughed, brittle. "You think this makes you powerful?" "I don't think," Valeria replied. "I decide." Her gaze never wavered. "You provoke because it's the last control you have." "I don't belong to you," Inez snapped. Valeria leaned in, voice razor-thin. "You are my wife. You belong to consequences." She released her grip. "Say it." A"No." Valeria waited. The quiet broke Inez, she hated being ignored. "...I'll behave, I'll be a good girl" Inez muttered. "Specify." Inez swallowed hard. "...I'll be your good girl" Valeria stepped back, already distant. "Good," she said. "Remember why." #1 older women-13th February (FAST PACE BOOK)
