She married him for revenge. He married her for power. Neither expected to fall in love. Elena Carter despises Adrian Blackwood. The ruthless billionaire crushed her family's business, leaving them in ruins. So when Adrian offers her a deal-marriage in exchange for saving what's left of her father's company-she sees the perfect chance for payback. Adrian doesn't believe in love, but he needs a wife to secure a high-stakes business deal. Elena is the perfect candidate-beautiful, sharp, and desperate. But he underestimates the fire in her. What starts as a cold arrangement soon turns into a dangerous game of passion, deception, and secrets. As the lines blur between love and hate, Elena must decide-should she destroy the man who ruined her life or risk everything for the unexpected pull of her heart?

Chapter 1 The Devil's Proposal Elena

Carter had spent five years wishing for Adrian Blackwood's downfall. He had crushed her father's company without mercy, turning her family from Manhattan elites into nothing more than a scandal-ridden disgrace. The world called him ruthless. She called him a monster. Now, that monster wanted to marry her. The exclusive rooftop lounge buzzed with quiet conversations, but Elena's focus was locked on the man seated across from her. Adrian Blackwood was as infuriatingly composed as ever, a glass of whiskey in his hand, his tailored suit immaculate.

The city lights stretched behind him, a kingdom he controlled with a mere flick of his wrist. "You look like you want to stab me," Adrian mused, his lips curving into the kind of smirk that had made CEOs crumble. Elena crossed her arms, refusing to let his arrogance unnerve her. "I'm considering it." He chuckled, leaning forward slightly. "Careful, sweetheart. You're about to become my wife. That wouldn't look good for our perfect love story." She clenched her fists under the table. This wasn't love. It was business. A contract that would grant her family's redemption and secure his billion-dollar merger. A necessary evil. "One year," she said, keeping her voice steady. "That's all you get." Adrian lifted his glass in mock celebration. "One year of pretending to adore me. Think you can manage?" Elena matched his smirk. "I've survived worse." His gaze darkened, something unreadable flickering in his eyes. He reached into his suit pocket and slid a crisp black envelope toward her. "Then let's make it official." Her fingers hovered over the contract. She had dreamed of ruining him, of watching him suffer the way her family had. Instead, she was about to tie herself to him in the most permanent way possible. "I hope you're ready for this, Elena," Adrian murmured, voice rich with amusement. She met his gaze and picked up the pen. "I hope you are." With a single stroke of ink, she sealed her fate. And as Adrian leaned back, his smirk deepening, she realized something chilling-she might have just walked into a game she couldn't win.

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?
