Romance Love, Rewritten – Prologue
The ink had barely dried on our divorce papers when I left town, vowing never to look back.
Lucas Montgomery had been my first love, my greatest mistake, and the one man I swore I'd never fall for again. We had built a life together, one that should have lasted forever. But forever had an expiration date, and ours came with broken promises, late-night fights, and the painful realization that love wasn't always enough.
I spent years convincing myself I was over him. That I had moved on. That what we had was a closed chapter in a book I had no desire to reread. And I believed it-until the phone call came.
"You might want to sit down for this," my sister, Emma, had said, amusement laced in her voice. "I'm getting married."
I was happy for her. Truly. But then she dropped the second bombshell.
"To Andrew."
Andrew. Lucas's best friend. The same best friend who had been the best man at our wedding.
Now, I had no choice but to return to the town I left behind. To stand in the same room as the man who once promised me forever-only to break every vow.
I told myself I could handle it. That I could face him without falling apart. That time had erased what we once were.
But when I saw Lucas again, standing across the room with those familiar stormy blue eyes and the same smirk that once made my heart race, I knew the truth.
Some love stories never truly end. They just wait to be rewritten. Craving The Forbidden Touch
Billionaires Prologue
Isla knew this was a mistake.
She had spent years resisting Damian Sinclair, keeping her distance, pretending the attraction between them wasn't suffocating. But now, standing in his penthouse with the city lights glowing behind them, she knew there was no turning back.
His gaze burned into her, dark and unreadable. He leaned against the bar, his tailored suit still pristine despite the chaos she felt inside.
"You shouldn't be here," he murmured, his voice a slow, deliberate temptation.
"I know," she whispered.
Yet she didn't move. Neither did he.
Instead, he pushed off the bar and stalked toward her, each step unraveling what little control she had left. He stopped just inches away, his heat wrapping around her, his scent-dark spice and something purely him-making her dizzy.
"Tell me to stop." His fingers brushed against her wrist, tracing a path of fire. "Tell me this is wrong."
Isla opened her mouth, but no words came. Because they both knew the truth.
It was wrong. It was reckless.
And it was inevitable.
Damian tilted her chin up, his breath ghosting over her lips, waiting for her to push him away. But she didn't.
Because tonight, she wasn't going to fight it.

Against her better judgment, she accepts... only to find herself working directly under Damian.

And when she uncovers the real reason behind Damian's obsession, she realizes she may not be able to escape him... or her own heart.

Married To The Mafia Boss
Elk Entertainment You may kiss the bride," the priest announced and my body shuddered in resistance as the words I told him two days ago rang in my ears.
I won't even spit on your face let alone marry you, Liam Knight.
His eyes were shining in triumph, clearly stating that once again he won. He smirked cruelly, taunting me without words how he forced me to do exactly what I said I would never do even if he begged me. He didn't beg, on the contrary, he forced me to marry him. He took a step forward, raised my chin, I fisted my hand tightly at the sides when he placed his unworthy lips on mine. Disgusted with his touch but I tolerated it for the sake of my father who was at his mercy at this moment.
He pulled away from my lips with the same rule smile intact on his face, "I made you mine, Babygirl and I can't wait for us to be alone!" He said darkly.
My breath hitched looking at the darkness in his eyes. If I would have been the old Aurora I would be scared but not anymore.
I might have bowed down my pride for my father but if he was looking for a submissive wife, he sure was not going to get one!
