"One touch is a miracle. Two is a contract. Three is an obsession." Vespera Moretti was the perfect substitute, until the real heiress returned and her family threw her to the streets like a piece of broken glass. Humiliated and penniless, Vespera has only one weapon left: a mind built for war. She targets Cassian Valeska, the "Untouchable King" of a global media empire. Due to a dark childhood trauma, Cassian suffers from severe Haphephobia; a single human touch sends him into a violent panic. He is a man who rules the world but cannot hold a hand, until Vespera grabs his wrist, and the chaos in his mind stops. Vespera is his "Fated Exception." The Deal: She will be his skin, his fiancée, and his strategist to stabilize his crumbling throne. The Price: He will give her the scorched-earth power to dismantle the Moretti family brick by brick. But as the "Touch Protocol" moves from tactical hand-holding to soul-searing intimacy, Vespera realizes that healing a monster is dangerous... especially when the monster starts to crave her more than his own empire.

Half a month into our cold war, I, Claire Parker, found an abortion procedure slip tucked inside Daniel Carter's suit pocket. The patient's name belonged to the fragile little childhood sweetheart he had always protected so fiercely-Sophie Bennett. I folded the paper calmly and slipped it back where I had found it. Daniel noticed the movement immediately. His eyes flicked toward me through the rearview mirror, resignation coloring his voice. "What are you overthinking now? Sophie was just keeping a friend company at the hospital. She accidentally left it there." I turned toward the window and said nothing. This was Sophie declaring war on me, yet the man who could crush competitors without mercy in the business world believed her completely. The silence inside the car grew suffocating until Daniel finally stopped outside an upscale jewelry boutique. He reached over and ruffled my hair with easy familiarity, his tone indulgent and affectionate. "Come on. Pick out a ring. Your birthday's next month anyway, so we might as well register our marriage too." I bit down hard on my lip as tears fell soundlessly onto the back of my hand. What he still didn't know was that I wouldn't live long enough to see next month.

"I won't accept your rejection, Lorraine. You are the one I want." "Then you are as mistaken as the Moon Goddess. I am not fit to be anybody's mate. I... I am a killer. It is what I do." "I understand. You are a soldier. Which soldier has not killed to protect? I will never hold that against you." "Wrong. I am a cold-blooded murderer. Being a soldier is just the perfect excuse." *** Lorraine Spears has spent most of her life as a rogue, surviving by her wits and strength. When devastating war gave her a chance to join the coalition army, her fate became entwined with the alpha queen, Athena.

Then the Moon Goddess plays her hand, mating Lorraine with the most infuriatingly arrogant alpha she has ever met.

Just when she thinks she might have paid enough for her past sins, bloodcurdling vengeance returns, and everything she thought she knew about her family is revealed as a lie. Reeling from betrayals, unexpected new family, and an obsessed enemy on her heels, Lorraine must decide whether to trust a bond that threatens her clarity or embrace her predicted happily never-after.

Five years ago, Nina Hale lost everything... her family, her reputation, and the man she once loved. Betrayed by her own sister and abandoned by those she trusted most, she disappeared without a trace. Now she's back. With a new identity and a burning determination, Nina is ready to reclaim her life and chase the dream she once gave up: becoming a star actress.

Just when Nina thinks things can't get worse, she's caught in another trap... and unexpectedly crosses paths with a quiet, lonely little boy. Ethan Grant hasn't spoken in years. Feeling responsible for him, Nina agrees to stay and help the child come out of his shell. But she didn't expect Ethan's dangerously charming father, Lucas Grant, to enter the picture. Cold, powerful, and impossible to read, Lucas slowly finds himself drawn to the woman who brightens his son's world. What begins as a simple act of kindness soon turns into something far more complicated, because Nina came back for revenge. She never planned to fall in love. ********** "I saw you with him," Lucas said quietly, but the tension in his jaw gave him away. Nina exhaled, crossing her arms. "You don't get to care." "Don't I?" He stepped in, close enough that she had to tilt her head back to meet his eyes. "This is just a contract." "Then why does it bother me?" His hand hovered near her waist, not touching-yet. "It shouldn't." Her breath faltered. His gaze darkened, "And yet it does."

My Alpha mate abandoned me three years ago, leaving me as a disgraced Omega to raise our two children in a freezing, ruined hovel. To keep them from starving, I was forced into a humiliating deal with a rogue wolf named Jax, who stole our pack rations and demanded my young son as payment. The entire pack shunned me, my mother-in-law treated me like dirt, and my children lived in constant fear. When I finally awakened my ancient Luna bloodline to fight off Jax and feed my kids, Ryker suddenly returned. But he didn't come to save us. He blasted our door off its hinges, his eyes burning with a murderous rage. He ignored our starving reality and accused me of selling our bloodline to the rogue. "Where is the rogue? Who did you trade my bloodline to?!" I had endured beatings, starvation, and utter humiliation just to keep his children breathing. I had bled to protect our family. Yet, the moment he returned, he believed the lies of our tormentor and looked at me with the intent to kill. Why was I the villain in the story of my own survival? As his powerful inner wolf suddenly whined in submission for the magical food I had cooked, his Alpha command faltered into deep confusion. He ordered me not to leave his sight until I explained everything. But looking at the mate who had abandoned us, my mind was crystal clear. The real question wasn't whether I would leave, but whether he was still worthy of letting me stay.
