Melissa Wright spent three years as David Haynes' loyal secretary and secret wife; silent, unseen, and unwanted. When she discovers she's pregnant, she believes it's finally time to fight for her place in his life but the night she plans to tell him, she finds herself standing in the shadows watching David toast to a future with his first love; Helena Powell. With her heart in pieces and a child to protect, Melissa disappears without a trace, determined to build a life of her own. But fate has other plans. When she reemerges, thriving and unrecognizable, she's no longer the woman David once overlooked; she's a rising star in the fashion industry, powerful in her own right. Now, David is faced with a woman he barely knows, yet can't ignore. And when he finally learns the truth about the child she kept from him, he realizes too late that the woman he took for granted is the one he can't afford to lose. But Melissa has learned the hard way that love isn't enough. Can he prove he's truly changed, or will she slip through his fingers forever?

Chapter 1 The News That Changed Everything

Melissa Wright walked out of the hospital speedily, holding the test results with her hands trembling. At first, the words on the result were blurred in her eyes but she already knew what they said; she was pregnant with David's baby.

She let out a huge sigh of relieve as a shaky breath left her lips and at that point she pressed a hand to her still-flat stomach. "This was it... The moment that changed everything."

Her fingers hovered over her phone as her mind talked to her "Call David, tell him" She was convinced then that maybe, just maybe, this would be the thing that made him finally see her.

Just as she was about to place the call to David, her screen lit up with a message before she could even dial his number.

Melissa frowned at the text "No 'hello,' no explanation... just an order. Typical David Haynes." Still, she pushed aside the irritation and hailed a cab. If he wanted to see her then she would tell him the news in person.

She smiled to herself in the backseat while trying to picture his reaction "Would he be shocked? Happy? Would he pull me into his arms the way I'd always dreamed he would?"

Hope filled her chest and she began to believe that this was the start of something new; something real.

The cab pulled up at the Grand Arcadia and Melissa's heart leaped at the sight of flashing cameras, a red carpet, and a sea of expensive gowns and tailored suits "A celebration?" she asked herself.

"My wedding anniversary" She said as she exhaled and relief washed over her. "Maybe David had finally planned something for me" She thought "Maybe this was his way of making things right." She said lowly as she stepped inside, pushing through the crowd and scanning the room for him.

There he was; tall, striking and impossible to miss but he wasn't alone.

Her heart leaped as she saw the woman beside him; "Helena Powell?" The woman David had never truly let go of; David's first love.

Melissa's breath seized as Helena leaned into David and their closeness unmistakable as the guests cheered and someone raised a glass "To David and Helena, reunited at last!"

Melissa felt the world stop for a while; Laughter, Applause and Helena smiling as though she already owned David.

"David's wife?" someone scoffed. "Oh please, we all know he only married Melissa to appease his grandmother" another echoed "Exactly! David was always meant to be with Helena" the first responded.

David smiled at the teasing "Alright, enough.." he said coolly. "Helena can't drink, so I'll drink for her." He added as he took Helena's glass from her. He lifted his glass with his hand on Helena's waist and his expression was relaxed and comfortable like she was what he had wanted all along.

Melissa barely registered the moment as she turned and walked out. The sound of rain greeted her, but she kept moving even when her body felt numb. The wind bit at her skin with rain soaking her dress but she didn't care at all.

The hospital's results crumpled in her hand forgotten. "So that was it" she said as tears dropped down from her eyes. That was David's real choice.

She forced herself to breathe knowing she needed to leave, to just walk away and be done, but just as she reached her front door, headlights cut through the rain and a sleek black car pulled up with a familiar figure stepping out. His sharp and commanding voice cut through the night. "Melissa, why are you standing in the rain?"

MY MASTERS

Mercy Kay

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
