You have no idea what you mean to me.” Claire’s inhaled sharply and she couldn’t believe the next words that came out of her own mouth. “Then show me,” she whispered in a short breath. In one swift movement, his hand gripped the back of her neck. “You have no idea what you’re asking for,” he murmured, staring into her soul, his breath warm against her skin. But Claire didn’t flinch. She slid her hand down, brushing against the hard outline of him through his jeans, maintaining intense eye contact. “I do.” *** Claire was just another struggling actress until a mafia boss handed her a ring and asked her to act as his wife. “Just one year, and you’ll never hear from me again,” he said.

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken.

Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished.

This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear.

Ava Summers is the perfect daughter — business mogul, top of her class, future queen of spreadsheets, and the only Summers twin with functioning brain cells. She's survived nineteen years sharing a womb, a mansion, and half of her DNA with Eva Summers — the human embodiment of bad decisions who once tried to roast marshmallows on scented candles and nearly set the entire estate on fire. So when their parents arranged one of them to marry Zeke Ford — the kingdom's most notorious heartbreaker — Ava took one for the team. She didn't flinch. She didn't panic. She blinked once... probably because she was three glasses of margaritas deep after Eva spiked her drink and slid a suspicious contract under her nose — a contract that would transfer all of Ava's businesses and birthright to Eva if she refused to marry Zeke. It was the first plan Eva ever pulled off successfully — and she regretted it the moment the Fords switched the grooms at the last minute. Instead of waking up legally bound to Zeke — the charming, half-witted flirt who collects women like decorative throw pillows — Ava finds herself married to Zach Ford — the cold, brooding, emotionally constipated twin brother who hasn't smiled since the dinosaurs went extinct. The Ford family hoped Eva's lively personality would drag Zach out of his miserable cave of grief and bad attitude after his fiancée's death. Too bad they accidentally married him to the kingdom's most neurotic control freak instead. Now Ava has a whole lifetime to survive a forced marriage to a man who communicates in glances, grunts, and the occasional eyebrow twitch, convince everyone she's madly in love with her new husband... And figure out how to legally murder her sister without ruining the family name. The plan was supposed to save the Summers' reputation. Not burn the whole kingdom to the ground. "With This Ring, I Loathe You—Yes, I do." A laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers rom-com about one grumpy recluse, one reluctant perfectionist, and one contractual catastrophe that will either end in true love... Or arson with tax deductions.

They had been married for less than a week when Lin Banxia discovered that without his embrace, she couldn’t sleep; without his love, she felt anxious; without his companionship, her emotions spiraled out of control. But then one day, she had stomach troubles! The hospital handed over a test result: Congratulations, Mrs. Huo, you’re pregnant. He said, "Give birth to my child, and we won’t just have three years together—we’ll have a lifetime!" She squinted her eyes and replied, "Mr. Huo, you’ve miscalculated. Clearly, after giving birth, you’re letting me go in three years." "The child can’t go without a mother, and I can’t go without you. Understand?" That was Young Master Huo’s confession.

[Warning: Mature Content, R18+] Camilla Watson-Veston was left with no choice but to leave her wealthy life behind and raise her son alone as an ordinary employee. A woman filled with rage and anger because of the betrayal of her one true love is indeed very dangerous. When all she could think of was revenge, karma has its funny way of rewarding those worthy with what they deserve. Sometimes not just one, but two or more blessings at once. What will Cammy do if the universe gives her not only two options to consider but three or more? Will she be able to choose which path she should take when nothing seems to be the right one? When freedom costs too much and happiness is hard to reach, will life turn Cammy into bitter from sweet? ********** Story Excerpt: "You’re fucking stunning, Cammy, and don’t let anyone make you think otherwise. Your husband’s a fool for letting you go. I’m going to show you exactly what you’ve been missing. Even if it’s just for tonight, I promise you won’t forget me. After this, I’ll be the only man in your mind," Greg said before capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. Was it wrong to accept it just because she was married, even though the man she was married to had been betraying her time and time again? Her mind let go of logic; she no longer cared if what they were doing was forbidden. She had made up her mind to surrender herself to him completely, letting him do whatever he desired with her tonight. So she whispered, “Turn off the lights…” Greg smirked, knowing the switch was just within reach, but instead of turning the lights off completely, he dimmed them to the faintest glow without removing his gaze from her. “Forgive me, Cammy. I cannot turn it off completely. I want to see your face when I take you to heaven over and over again while you are screaming my name.” Her hands traced his broad, strong chest, feeling its strength and solidity. ‘Oh God, I’m touching another man’s body!’ she shouted silently in her mind. Before her courage fully faltered, she felt Greg gripped on her wrist, as he released her lips, and whispered, “Not yet, Ms. beautiful. Let's take it slow… I want you to remember our time together as your best without any regrets. I want you to remember me as the man who made you feel important and wanted. Tonight you're the only woman in my life. The only woman my eyes see and my mind thinks of. You are mine, and mine alone. Do you understand?!” ********** A song excerpt that mirrors the emotion of the book. ***The song is not mine.*** I remember back when we were in love And we followed the fire in our hearts We moved every mountain we touched And we danced in the light of the stars I know nothing beautiful lasts But when I get to heaven I'll ask To go back to when we were in love… ********** The Author’s Completed Work: Book 1: CEO’s Contract Obsession - Contemporary Romance (CEO/Sweet Love), 2023 Book 2: The Royal Mark - Fantasy Romance (Werewolf/Fated Mates), 2023

R18+ | Billionaire | Stripper | Contract Marriage. Evelyn Evans was celebrating her 18th birthday when the call came. A plane crash.

Now twenty one,Evelyn no longer lives in daylight. She becomes Rose,the masked goddess of Club Dusk,where billionaires throw cash and sanity to watch her dance. She’s faceless,untouchable,a fantasy they crave but can’t own. Until Jace Montez;a brutally cold billionaire with words sharp as razors,walks in,dragged to the club by friends who hate him more than they admit. He doesn’t come for pleasure,he doesn’t stay for the show,but one man does. And that man pays a dangerous price to have Rose delivered to his hotel room...against her will.

A fake marriage to the masked girl he just saved. One year,one contract,one rule;no falling in love. *** Excerpt “I don’t need a wife.” Jace said flatly,tossing a sleek black folder onto the table between them. Evelyn didn’t flinch. “Then why am I here?” she asked,her voice low,almost bored. He leaned back in his leather chair. The city glowed behind him through the floor to ceiling glass like the world bent for him. “Because my parents believe they saw something scandalous. And they’ll ruin both of us if I don’t give them a name.” “So give them mine?” she challenged. His eyes narrowed. “Not your fake one.” She blinked,then looked down at the contract. One year. No intimacy required,full confidentiality,divorce by next winter. “This is a joke.” she whispered. He shrugged. “You need money,I need silence. We both get what we want.” There was a cruel efficiency to him,like he was born with ice in his veins. But he didn’t know her. Didn’t know the bills stacked under her mattress. The nights she counted coins to feed her sister in her dreams. Didn’t know what it meant to dance half naked in front of men who didn’t see a girl but a product. She picked up the pen,paused. “If I sign this.”she said.“I don’t become yours,not really.” Jace met her stare.“You never will be.” And that...for some reason...hurt. --- The moment her body hit the stage,silence blanketed the room. A red mask,a slit rose gold gown that shimmered like temptation itself. Every man leaned forward,every woman clenched their jaw. But Jace didn’t blink,something in his chest cracked,something old,something stupid. Her movements were hypnotic. Every sway,every dip,every snap of her waist matched the music like she was the rhythm. And then,her head turned,she looked straight at him. No...through him. “Who is she?”People whispered behind him. Jace stared coldly at her,no one may know her identity,but he sure damn knows. Before her dance finished,he left in anger,Evelyn noticed and went after him immediately,not minding the consequences. Down back halls,past marble columns,into velvet lined corridors meant for secrets. “Wait.”Her voice shuttered. He stopped. Slowly,she walked to him,in caution. "Why are you here?"His voice was so icy. “For my freedom.”She whispered,voice wrapped in silk. He just smirked and walked away. "I came for you."She suddenly screamed. *** Evelyn isn’t playing house,and Jace doesn’t do hearts. But why's there a feeling that this fire?Why does he look at her like he’s trying to unmask her soul? And when her boss,the same man who tried to sell her refuses to let go of his biggest moneymaker,Evelyn realizes something chilling;she may be Jace’s wife on paper,but she’s still being hunted in the shadows.
