“Adrian,” Raya whispered, voice trembling. “Choose — her or me.” His eyes darkened. “Why should I choose,” he said softly, stepping closer, “when I can have you both?” Her breath caught. “You’re insane,” she whispered. He brushed a thumb over her lips. “No,” he murmured, “i'm yours as you're mine. Whether you want it or not.” ~~~ To save her father, Raya agrees to become the fiancée of a man who could destroy her. She thought she was walking into a simple contract. But when she steps into Adrian Blake’s world, she steps into a maze of power, obsession, and dangerous secrets. Adrian never loved Seraphina, the woman he was supposed to marry. He only needed her family’s influence to seize the Blake empire. But when Seraphina vanishes… Raya becomes the perfect replacement. She’s stubborn, penniless, and nothing like Seraphina. Except for one disturbing detail She looks exactly like her. His terms are everything she should refuse: • Pretend to be his fiancée. • Pay off her father’s impossible debt. • Leave when he says so. Simple. Until she realizes the man behind the cold mask isn’t simple at all. The more she falls for him, the more dangerous he becomes. Because Adrian Blake doesn’t want love. He wants control. And now, he wants her. When the truth about Seraphina begins to unravel, Raya must choose: Run before she’s swallowed by Adrian’s darkness… or stay and risk losing her heart, and her identity, to the man who already owns her.

He loved the wrong sister and it cost him everything. Amber Ann Lance-Trace is a highly successful biochemist who built a perfect life—perfect house, perfect job, and a marriage to the charming and handsome, globe-trotting entrepreneur Dan Marcus Trace. The only problem? Their five-year marriage was built on the consequences of one drunken night. To add insult to injury - Dan has always been in love with Amber Ann’s older sister, the glamorous, humanitarian Jessica Jeanine Lance. Amber Ann knew the truth but settled for being his second choice, desperately hoping time would turn his heart. Emails from Jessica – heralding her eminent return home after six years abroad – shatters the delicate sham. Just thinking of her husband and sister rekindling their old flame is the catalyst Amber Ann needs. With a silent plan already in motion—a filed resignation, signed divorce papers, and a secret new property—Amber Ann leaves behind the mansion, the career, and the pain, symbolically handing her house keys to Jessica and walking out of her life forever. She is finally ready to build the dream her family always dismissed as "just a hobby": a specialized bakery on the peaceful outskirts of Carson City. But Dan, suddenly given what he felt he had always wanted, finds his fantasy quickly unraveling. Jessica is selfish, critical, controlling, and focused on changing his entire life, while Amber Ann's quiet competence and selfless support are suddenly and painfully absent. When a document courier arrives delivering the final divorce papers, Dan is confronted with the shattering reality: the stable, loving life he took for granted is gone, and the woman he had grown to love has left without a word. Now, Dan must face the brutal truth: He let go of the right sister. The chase is on to find Amber Ann, confess his true feelings, and convince the brilliant, newly independent woman that his second choice was the right choice all along.

She never saw his face that night. Just the shape of a man — standing at the far end of the hospital hallway — unmoving, watching. Raina was twenty-four, still naive enough to believe that silence always meant harmlessness. She looked away, convinced he was waiting for someone else. But he stayed there. Not shifting. Not breathing loudly. Just observing her like she was an unfamiliar puzzle he already knew how to solve. When she finally took a step forward to pass him, he turned his head slightly… enough for her to feel his eyes slide over her like a blade. No words. No touch. Just… recognition. As if he already knew her story. As if he already owned her future. And in that exact moment — an instinct inside her whispered: Run. But she didn't. She walked past him. She lived her life. She married. She divorced. And she convinced herself that night was nothing but imagination. She never knew it wasn't. Because while she forgot that moment— he never did.

He's dying... And never know he still has the strength to moan until Lucian Vale walks into his life. The cold, untouchable billionaire CEO with a flawless image, Rowan Donovan has six months left to live. Rowan has never desired a man. Never imagined wanting one. Never questioned who he was—until one day, he encounters a distinctively strange man, Lucian Vale. Lucian looks at him like he already knows how Rowan tastes. Lucian is sin dressed as a smile. Too bold. Too close. Too aware of the way Rowan stiffens when their bodies brush, the way his breath hitches when Lucian’s voice drops lower, slower, deliberate. Rowan tells himself it’s stress. Curiosity. A lapse in control. But his body doesn’t lie. He reacts to Lucian in ways he never has before- hard, desperate, undone. He moans for a man whose touch feels dangerous and addictive, whose hands don’t ask permission before taking what Rowan never knew he could give. What starts as secret nights meant to silence curiosity turns into something darker and deeper: need, craving, surrender. And somewhere between sweat-soaked sheets and whispered breaths, Rowan realizes the most terrifying truth of all— he doesn’t just want Lucian’s body. He wants to live. But Lucian is hiding something. Did Lucian just come to make the dying CEO moan before his death… or to decide whether he deserves to survive?
