They say you never forget your first love. I wish I could forget mine. Five years ago, I ran from my husband, Liam Vance, with his cruel words echoing in my ears and his child growing in my womb. He called me a 'sentimental mistake.' A 'pet' he was done with. I believed him. I built a new life from the ashes. A beautiful life with my son, Leo, and my gallery, Haven. And I found love again with Xander—my best friend, my rock, the man who taught me that love should be safe, and kind, and real. I thought the past was behind me. I was wrong. Liam is back. But the cold, ruthless man I remember is gone, replaced by a raw, desperate stranger. He looks at me with a hunger that feels like grief. He looks at our son as if he’s seeing a ghost. And he’s tearing apart the peaceful world I built, demanding a place in it. He says he never stopped loving me. He says everything was a lie to protect us. He says the man I thought he was never existed. And the worst part? A part of me, the foolish, shattered part that never stopped loving him, believes it. Now, I am torn between two men. Xander, who represents my future—a future of peace, safety, and unwavering support. He is the home I built for myself. And Liam, who is my past—a storm of passion, regret, and devastating secrets. He is the home my heart never truly left. How can I trust the man who destroyed me? But how can I ignore the truth in his eyes, the pain that mirrors my own? I have to choose. Between the man who saved me, and the man who claims he always loved me. Between the safe harbor, and the tempest that might just be worth drowning in. This is not a second chance. This is a war for my heart. And no matter who wins, I fear I will be the one who loses.

His piercing hunter green eyes locked onto mine, a tangible intensity that felt like a captivating force holding me firmly in place. In that moment, it became abundantly clear that he was the hunter, and I was nothing more than his prey, utterly ensnared by this man’s unyielding charm and raw magnetism. Each moment spent under his gaze felt like a thrilling yet terrifying surrender to something I could scarcely comprehend. Tears cascaded down my cheeks in steady streams, a physical manifestation of the overwhelming fear creeping into my heart—the paralyzing dread of losing him. The thought alone was enough to leave me breathless, as I grappled with the conflicting emotions swirling within me. I longed for his connection, yet the specter of uncertainty loomed ever larger. “Tell me, Steve, do you love me at all?” I found the courage to ask, my voice quivering with both hope and despair. It was a question that had haunted me for far too long, and I desperately needed an answer. He hesitated for a heartbeat, his expression revealing the internal battle he fought before responding. “You know I can never tell a woman my feelings, but you will come to understand it through my actions towards you,” Steve finally replied, his voice low and gravelly. With a graceful yet powerful motion, he encircled his strong, muscular arms around my waist, drawing me closer against his warm, solid frame. “I want you, Daisy, right now,” he whispered, his breath hot against my ear as his fingers began to trail up toward the hem of my skirt. My heartbeat quickened with a mix of excitement and trepidation, but I was painfully aware of the underlying tension that clung to this charged moment. “Stop, Steve! You're just using me!" I blurted out, my voice trembling but resolute. “If you truly have any feelings for me at all, I need you to understand—I’m pregnant." The words rushed out in a torrent, knowing full well that this revelation was likely the last thing he wanted to hear at this delicate juncture. Yet I had to stand my ground; there was no way I would even consider the thought of terminating this pregnancy. The prospect of a life growing inside me filled me with a sense of purpose that eclipsed even my fears of losing him. “We have to keep this baby,” I stated firmly, holding onto my resolve as I faced the man who could either be my comfort or my undoing.

Excerpt Aristia could not help but stare at the platinum blonde a few steps in front of her. She seemed to sparkle with a glow that drew people in around her. Something that only happened to the main character of a novel. [Is that stupid book sure I'm the female lead?] She thought, her jaws almost going slack. At this point, she was sure she was deluding herself— or the book was deluding her. She didn't know why, but she already disliked the girl. [This is definitely not jealousy.] She rubbed her brows, watching how the innocent, naive looking girl exuding female lead aura was being flocked around already by others despite her low status. "F*ck, I'm really in deep shit!" — Aristia Andrews had just returned home from work and prepared to go to sleep, when she was given a novel. Nothing strange about that though, huh? But just after she had completed the novel, she woke up to find herself tossed into a whole new world. Taken from her world and the life she deemed perfect, and tossed into a not-so-ideal world. She becomes Aristia Amberale, the beloved five year old daughter of the only Grand Duke and Imperial Prince of the kingdom, said to be loved by all in the kingdom. Now part of royalty, she has to get accustomed to living in a backward world of Kings and Queens, Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Barons. Just the titles and hierarchy were enough to make her smart head spin. With beautiful and loving parents and relatives, a hopelessly adorable younger brother who just might be a sis-con, loyal-to-the-death servants, and a smart brain, join Aristia as she enjoys eating and making delicious cuisines, forms unique friendships, and creates successful businesses. However, she finds all is not as she thought it was; there just might be something bigger than she expected that the book did not reveal— something that could turn her well balanced world upside down. First of all, she discovers that her character is actually hated and not loved. Then, she finds out she's not really the female lead. Now... she has a lot of mysteries surrounding her to unfold, secrets to uncover, and a sad fate to avoid. But... "Hey, why are you looking at me with those eyes? The female lead is over there." "You, stop following me around, will you? You're supposed to hate me!" "Stay back, all of you! What's wrong with you?!" But most importantly... why are these obviously important characters not leaving her alone? And why was the cold, unloving soon-to-be Emperor husband of that powerful Empire paying attention to her instead of the female lead? It wasn't supposed to be like this...
