Worlds collide when Nia Edwards; a struggling black woman - comes across Jacob Harvey; a widower and full-time father of two who returns from his journey of self-preservation and no doubt falters into her life without due warning. This causes a stir in the balance of both contrasting worlds and for the first time in a long while, Nia feels a glint of true happiness. However what she fails to realize is that nothing comes without a price, and sometimes, we aren't willing to pay the cost.

For all the right reasons Chapter 1 Prelude

The story of Nia Edwards began with a single word.

Love.

To Some People, it was the most secure feeling. It was avid, a sentiment unable to be characterized by words-something pure, painful, sweet, and dreadful all at once. To others, it was constraining. It was Shakespearean and delusional-a possibility full of drama-limiting as it was expensive. But Nia never saw it as any of these. To her, loving meant giving her body, heart, and soul-it meant giving her all and It might have been ideally delusional but she'd always been the sort to love naively.

Who could blame her?

Growing up as a colored girl in a white man's city wasn't as lenient as one would think it was and after being thrown out into the streets by her foster father who had constantly tried but failed to get between her thighs, she'd been left stranded, with nothing but her persistence, strong will, and high hopes for a better tomorrow.

Life became hard and living was a daily struggle but somehow, when Vincent came into the picture, things changed.

She remembered the rain falling heavily that day. It was a Sunday evening and the icy grey sky grumbled restlessly, turning the light 'pitter-patter' of water into loud gregarious booms of thunder. She remembered the smell of moist earth and rotting food tossed by the side of the road where the flies hummed. She remembered shivering to a cold so potent that it felt as though her bloodstream had turned ice.

She had curled herself up behind the vegetable store, bone-deep exhaustion and grief overtaking her as her sobs muffled into wet tears that mixed with the roaring rain. All night, she'd sat there chanting a silent prayer, wishing for some kind of dues ex Machina- for a savior and then, as if sent by God himself, Vincent showed up, covering her with his umbrella and looking down at her with those bright green eyes that set fire to the ice in her heart.

She hadn't met this man before but he'd taken her home, given her fresh clothes, and fed her with a tasty meal. At that moment of vulnerability, he'd become her savior, her haven, her lifeline. she'd fallen in love with him, vowed her soul to him. But the thing is... You never really know a man's true nature until he gains total control over you and for young and beautiful Nia, it took her, four miscarriages, a damaged rib, and three long years of servitude to realize she had loved the wrong person for all the right reasons.

But, there is hope...

"Anya, a 'wolfless' in a world of powerful werewolves, was invisible, drowning her sorrows and desperately lonely. One drunken text, a desperate cry for attention, accidentally reached the Alpha, pulling her into his terrifying orbit. Now, she's trapped, a pawn in his game, forced to warm his bed while he waits for his true mate, her heart breaking with every stolen moment. As a 'wolfless' in the Blackwood Pack, Anya felt like an outsider, always yearning for a connection. One night, in a drunken haze, a misdirected text meant for her best friend landed in Alpha Declan Blackwood's inbox: ""Send me something hot."" Minutes later, the most powerful, terrifying man in the Pack stood at her door, claiming her with a possessive kiss that ignited a dangerous, unwanted fire. The next morning, his cold indifference shattered her world. Publicly humiliated and instantly fired, Anya became a pariah. Her dying mother's urgent need for a million-dollar heart transplant left her with an impossible choice: accept the Alpha's cold, transactional marriage proposal or watch her mother die. She became his ""placeholder"" wife, a contract, not a partner, all while battling a confusing attraction to the man who treated her as property. Why did he demand her, only to remind her constantly of her worthlessness, especially when everyone knew he waited for his true mate? Her world crumbled when she overheard Declan tell his returning ""true mate,"" Kristin Larsen, that Anya was ""just a substitute."" Despite the crushing betrayal and a strange, unyielding pull, Anya, fueled by her mother's desperate need, vowed to survive this gilded cage and reclaim her life before she lost herself completely."

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan
4.9

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
