- Bab 3
Laryen Lopez lives her life through the words she crafts as a dedicated story writer for a top publishing house. Gentle, endlessly patient, and understanding, she carries a gentle soul-and a deeply hidden past shadowed by severe emotional trauma. She never planned on opening her heart again.
Then came Chade Peterson. Handsome, powerful, and ruthless in business, Chade is the high-profile CEO of the world's leading editing company.
Driven by sheer boredom one day, he downloads a dating app-the very same app Laryen's well-meaning best friend forced onto her phone. What begins as a spontaneous message quickly blossoms into late-night conversations, shared vulnerabilities, and an electric real-world romance. Falling deeply, Laryen surrenders her whole heart to Chade, pouring all her love, trust, and devotion into the man she believes is her safe haven. But behind Chade's devoted gaze lies a web of calculated deception. The man standing in front of her isn't who he claims to be in the real world.
When the truth finally breaks, Laryen is forced to confront the ultimate, devastating reality: she was never his future-she was only Chade's Best Kept Secret.

Dragon
One lesson I learned very early in life was to be cheerful, to be agreeable, to do as I was told and ask for nothing, and to never ever complain. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and maybe they'll love you. I grew into an adult who took care of others and never expected that those I loved would take care of me in return. I gave and never asked, never expected, never demanded. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and you'll find someone that will love you. And then one day, a Dragon walked into my workplace and turned my world upside down with a single wink. Having grown up watching his father treat his men like they were disposable, just meat bags to be fed into the grinder, Dragon was determined to be different when he became president of the Dragon's Inferno MC. He cares about his people. He takes care of them. He was upfront with me, taking care of his MC and those he considered to be his would always be his priority. And I agreed to that, I joined him in that mission, throwing myself into becoming the perfect old lady of the prez. Smile Maddie. Act happy Maddie. Take care of them and maybe they'll love you. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't complain and maybe he'll love you. I told myself I was independent. I was strong. And I didn't need my Dragon to take care of me. And I almost believed it. Almost. But now I'm watching him with her. I'm watching him comfort her. I'm watching him listen to her, support her, reassure her. I'm watching him take time from his day to check in with her. I'm watching him worry about her. I'm watching them become closer right in front of my eyes. I'm seeing every thoughtful gesture he does for her. And me? I'm not happy. I'm not smiling. I'm done being agreeable. Fuck not causing trouble. I'm about to set my Dragon's world on fire. And then I'm walking away. She can have him. For the first time in my life, I'm choosing myself.
LOVE NOT MEANT TO BE
Alex had loved her for as long as he could remember-not with loud words or grand gestures, but in the quiet way that meant everything. In every decision he made, every risk he took, every dream he buried... she was always the reason. But love doesn't always get a happy ending. And some stories end without a goodbye. Torn apart by forces beyond their control, Alex and Camila are separated by pain, silence, and the weight of everything left unsaid. While she is forced to move forward, he's trapped in a life he never chose-paying for a crime he didn't commit, haunted by memories of a love that once felt eternal. Years pass. Hearts change. But some love stories never truly end-they just ache in the background, waiting for a moment that may never come. --------- Love Not Meant to Be is a heartbreaking journey through the silence of unspoken love, the unfairness of life, and the kind of connection that time, distance, and pain can never fully erase.Lengkap

Tyler's Surrender
I was going to be a father soon, or at least that was what Kira was telling me. Somehow, the joy that I knew I should've felt wasn't there and I wondered briefly if there was something wrong with me. Shouldn't I be over the moon? Shouldn't Trace? Even as I asked, I felt nothing of the sort. However, I did feel as if something weren't right. There was a small voice in the back of my head telling me that I needed to open my eyes and see what was going on, but I remained blind. Ignoring the confusion deep in my gut, I dressed for the somber occasion - yanking at the collar of my dress shirt in an agitated manner. I hated wearing a suit, but the event called for it. An Alpha had died. Alpha Nathaniel of the neighboring pack died late last week, the cause unknown to those outside of the Council of Elders. He left behind an heir that was rarely seen in public and a widow that most of their Pack refuses to treat as a Luna. Our Packs were neighbors, but not friendly by any means. Something had happened before I was born to cause a rift between the two groups and while it stayed mostly peaceful, there were issues as well. * * * Something isn't quite right in Jackson's marriage, but he's not certain what it is. He's also unnerved by the fact that he feels an overwhelming attraction to an accused murder, which shouldn't be possible since he's fully Mated. Jax's world unravels before his eyes and new revelations come to light. Gorgeous cover made by @southernTXkindagirlLengkap
