Ash Williams has spent seven years building a perfect lie. To her husband Kayden, she’s a loving wife and mother. To her two daughters, she’s safety and warmth. But beneath the surface, she’s haunted by scars—both visible and buried—left by a past she refuses to name. When violent nightmares return and old wounds flare, Ash’s fragile calm begins to fracture. Her therapist, Dr. Kath, urges her to open up, but Ash hides behind pills and silence. Only Kayden’s steady presence keeps her anchored—until one mistake shatters the illusion. As she investigates, Ash discovers that her former allies and enemies have resurfaced, bound by a web of revenge, betrayal, and scientific manipulation. The reappearance of her long-dead brother Jake—alive, remorseless, and part of the conspiracy—forces her to confront a terrifying truth: the monster she’s been running from might be herself. Torn between protecting her family and uncovering the truth, Ash spirals deeper into a world of deception where no one, not even she, can be trusted. Her grip on reality slips as memories resurface—of fire, violence, and a betrayal that changed everything. Now, hunted by the shadows of her own making, Ash must decide whether to keep living her lie or embrace the darkness she’s always feared. Because to protect the people she loves, she may have to become the very thing she’s been running from.

Evelyn Walters was the perfect heiress, until one reckless night with her father’s greatest enemy ruined everything. Pregnant, disgraced, and cast out of the Walters family, she left with nothing but her unborn child. Years later, she's survived. But as a single mother, the life she built was fragile until the man from her past discovered the truth. Now he wants her and his son. But how can Evelyn trust the father of her child... when he's also the enemy of the man who raised her? **** Excerpt: "B-Boss... the woman you slept with that night... she wasn't the supermodel the company just signed," Dylan stammered, his voice trembling. Axel's brow furrowed even further. He tried digging through the hazy, alcohol-soaked memories of that night.  Of course, he remembered the party. He remembered the whiskey. But the woman? Nope. His brain served up a blank slate. "Who was she?" Dylan swallowed. "The first daughter of William Walters." "Cough! Cough!" Axel coughed violently, his face turning red and eyes wide with shock. He never thought that woman would end up in his bed.  --- Curiosity won, as always. Evelyn grabbed the remote and hit the power button. The screen lit up, and her jaw dropped. Her eyes went wide, as if the Grim Reaper himself had just stepped out of the TV to ask for her phone number. “What the…? Why does my personal source of misery pop up the second I turn this thing on?” Because there he was, Axel Knight, gliding out of his luxury car like some corporate deity on his way to a business banquet. Evelyn scrambled for the remote to turn it off, but of course, fate had other plans. Axel turned to the camera and gave a casual wave, acknowledging the paparazzi vultures lined up outside. She hated to admit it, but the man looked sinfully good in his signature black suit and high turtleneck, his sleek black hair framing a face that could stop traffic and quite possibly her breathing. Then, suddenly, her stomach clenched. Her hand instinctively rubbed her flat belly. “Little tenant, did you just say you recognize him?”

Ella Chen has survived three years of corporate hell under one man: Adrian Wolfe, the ice-cold CEO of Wolfe Industries who seems to have made torturing her his personal goal. Late nights? She gets them. Impossible deadlines? Hers. Credit for her work? Stolen. The man is gorgeous, bright, and absolutely insufferable—and Ella fantasizes daily about telling him exactly where he can shove his nitpicking critiques. But when she trips over a stack of files in his office and accidentally kisses him, everything changes. Suddenly, her tyrant boss sprouts silver wolf ears and a huge fluffy tail—right there in his pristine corner office. Adrian Wolfe isn't just a business shark. He's an actual shifter hiding in plain sight, and Ella just caused his transformation with a mate's kiss. Now she knows his secret, and she's done playing victim. It's threat time. Want her silence? He'll stop overworking her, give her proper credit, maybe even accept her vacation requests for once. Except shifters don't deal with their fated mates—they claim them. And Adrian has been fighting his feelings around Ella for three brutal years, burying his attraction under cruelty because admitting the truth was never an option. Now that she knows, his wolf refuses to hide anymore. As Ella weaponizes his secret for petty workplace revenge, she doesn't know she's playing with fire. Every demand she makes only draws Adrian closer. Every threat only makes his wolf more protective. And the reason he's been so cruel? He's been protecting her from the shifter council that would execute any human who finds their kind—especially the human destined to be their future Alpha's mate. Now someone else knows about Ella. The council is coming. And Adrian will burn down everything he's made to keep her safe—whether she forgives him or not.

For twenty years, Mira Castellan was the palace's hidden shame—everyone pretended she wasn't there because she wasn't her real mother's daughter. Then Mira's half-sister, the golden Princess Vivienne, did the unthinkable: she drugged her, stole her ID, and sent her north to marry the Frost King, a dragon shifter whose three previous wives all mysteriously died within months. People are little more than prey for ice dragons in the Kingdom of Eternal Winter, where Mira finds her "husband" Kaelen Frostborne. He is as beautiful as a fallen angel, as cold as the glaciers that surround his obsidian castle, and completely convinced that his new bride is a spy sent to finish what the last attempt on his life began. The contract is very harsh: either you live through one year of marriage and have a child, or you will be labeled barren and fed to the winter dragons. But Mira has a bigger problem: Kaelen can smell lies and has so many of them that she can't breathe. His icy exterior cracks to show a king who has been alone for too long, and her betraying heart keeps forgetting that he's supposed to be the monster in this story. This is especially true when his dragon purrs at her touch. When Vivienne shows up to take back the "stolen" post, Mira has to make a decision: she can give up and live a shameful life in the South, or she can fight for the dragon king, who has started to treat her like a treasure to be kept. Because dragons don't just love in the North; they own things. And Kaelen has already made up his mind: his little lie is his, whether they have common blood or not.

"What happens when your one-night stand plans to become your stepdad?" It's been two weeks since that night, but I still can't forget him. It was so enthralling that the thrill stuck to my bones till now. It weighed on my mind like a dumbbell and cost me my concentration. A man so hot... Ah, how could I forget him? I wanted to see him again. I wanted to feel his warmth, his aggressive arms, and the way he smirked ever so often while I moaned like a messed-up recorder underneath him, sounds he seemed to favor. But it was just a fling between two strangers. No strings attached, and no names involved. I thought I would never see him again, until he showed up in my living room with his arms around my mother. And she said, "Ha-Joon, this is Tae-Hyun, my fiancé. We're getting married in a few days, so get ready." My heart stopped for a moment as my world shook. And then he looked at me, his devilish eyes met mine. I gulped. They were those same eyes that had seen too much of me. He remembered me, that was certain. And judging by the way he smirked at me, he wasn't done with me yet. Just how did that handsome, no, how did that hot man suddenly gain the identity of my stepfather? (A curious naive college student who wanted to have sex for the first time took his first dive into danger, only to find out the tiger he slept with was about to become his family) Note: this isn't an incest story so read the auxiliary chapter to know more before coming to your conclusion.

For money, Jin Jumo "signed" herself to the business tycoon Rong Mochen, for a period of one year. Upon their first meeting, the man's voice was icy, "I like women who keep their place, understand?"
