all my knotted up life

Adrienne prides herself for being smart, prim and proper. She doesn’t go against the rules of society and refuse to even take a shot of Tequila. In other words: Conservative. Boring. For just one night, she let lose. She left her eyeglasses, flat shoes, long skirt and knitted sweater behind. In high heels and a dress that accented her long legs and curves, she went to a club by herself and decided to find out what it was like to have a good time. Her night couldn’t even be more perfect when Justin Adams, the city’s most sought after bachelor, a.k.a. most notorious playboy fell prey to the charms she didn’t even know she possessed. Justin was every girl’s dream boat, but he never committed to a woman. He didn't date and didn't do relationships. But what was supposed to be just a one night stand with the City's most wanted playboy became a full-blown secret affair. Soon, she will find out that she's been living her life with all the right intentions... but for all the wrong reasons.

Sa loob ng walong taon, inakala ni Lizzy na ang fiancé niyang si Jarren ang katuparan ng kanyang mga pangarap—isang perpektong kasal at masayang pamilya. Ngunit ang masakit na katotohanan ay tumambad sa kanya: si Jarren, ang lalaking minahal niya, ay may relasyon sa iba... at ang kabit nito ay hindi lamang basta kung sino, kundi ang sekretarya niya. Hindi na tumingin pa si Lizzy sa nakaraan. Sa halip, pinili niyang balikan ang dignidad niya at lumakad palayo sa kanyang engagement. Sa gitna ng gulo at kahihiyan, pumasok sa kanyang buhay ang isang bagong mukha—si Lysander Sanchez, ang misteryosong uncle ni Jarren na puno ng karisma at lihim na intensyon. Habang bumabawi si Lizzy mula sa sakit ng pagtataksil, matutuklasan niya na ang kanyang landas ay puno ng panibagong hamon, tukso, at pagkakataon para sa tunay na pagmamahal. Magagawa kaya niyang ipaglaban ang kanyang kalayaan at puso, o muli siyang masasaktan sa gitna ng isang mas komplikadong mundo?

I gave my husband everything—my love, my loyalty, my future. But to him, I was just a fool to be used, a wife to be discarded. The night he threw me out in the rain, pregnant and broken, his mistress smirked as the door slammed shut. And when my baby died from the cruelty of their betrayal, I made a vow over that tiny coffin: I would bury them both beside my child. Then I met Rolin McCarty—the most dangerous man in the country. Ruthless. Powerful. Who is willing to help me burn my husband’s world to the ground. Alex thought he broke me. But he only awakened something worse. And now? Now, he’ll wish he’d killed me when he had the chance.

Nang matuklasan ni Nikko na isang siyang omega, pinakamababang secondary sexuality, nawalan na siya ng tiwala sa ibang tao. Alam niya ang trato ng mga tao sa mga kauri niya kaya naman pakiramdam niya ay lahat ng mga tao ay pinagbabalakan siya ng masama. Ang tanging tao na pinagkakatiwalaan lamang niya ay ang matalik na kaibigan niyang si Pier - isang alpha. Bilang isang alpha at omega, manatili pa rin kaya ang pagkakaibigan nila sa oras na magsimula na ang problema nila tungkol sa ikalawang sekswalidad nila? O may mas malalim pa na koneksyon na mabubuo sa pagitan nilang dalawa?

From Jerilee Kaye, author of best-selling novel “Knight in Shining Suit”, comes the spin-off of the top-grossing interactive story, “All the Wrong Reasons”. One last adventure. That was all Julianne wanted. One last trip to escape the pressures of an arranged marriage to a man she doesn’t love and doesn’t even like. One last time to experience freedom… to go wherever she wanted to go, to be anyone she wanted to be. On her last two weeks in Paris, she met someone unexpected—aspiring painter, Jas Mathieu. He was as handsome as hell, and as sweet as heaven. Terrified of what her father and fiancé could do to Jas if she stayed with him, she fled Paris and left him behind—with no real information about herself, not even her real name. Seven years later, after her father stripped her of her heiress title and privileges, she crossed paths with Jas Mathieu once again. She found out that he wasn’t exactly the struggling artist she thought he was. And he was no stranger to the family and social circle she belonged to. It turned out that years ago, when they met... she wasn't the only one keeping secrets.

We're celebrating my son, Baby Selwyn, turning a month old. I'm walking past the pool with him in my arms when someone shoves me from behind. Colin Selwyn jumps into the pool like a madman. He saves us and immediately rushes us to the hospital. Baby Selwyn makes it out alive because of the timely rescue. When I open my eyes again, Baby Selwyn and Colin aren't by my side. I sit up while coughing and remove the needle inserted into my hand. I leave the hospital room and head for the pediatric department, wanting to see Baby Selwyn. However, as I walk past the emergency room, I hear Colin talking to a doctor. "We managed to save the child from drowning, Mr. Selwyn. Why has he now died of asphyxiation?" "I smothered him. Per the plan, he was never supposed to make it out alive!" "But why? He's your son!" "I promised Sandy that I would make our child the Selwyn family's sole heir. Lucille should never have given birth to Baby Selwyn." Colin's tone is gentle and calm, yet his words are cold and cruel. I've always thought I had a loving marriage, but it's just a joke! I've already lost my beloved son, and my heartless husband is the one behind his death. I don't want him anymore!

My boss gives me 200 thousand dollars in cash so I can pay his workers their salaries. I leave the house to buy some envelopes to put the money in, but that's when my father lends the money to our neighbor so they can buy a house. I question him about it, but he says I know nothing about forging relationships. Even my mother and brother blame me for not keeping my things properly—they say I'm dumb for leaving money lying around when I know my father likes to lend money to others. Later, my boss fires me but doesn't call the cops. All he wants is for me to repay him. To do so, my father finds me a high-paying job. It's only when I get there that I realize I'm supposed to be an old man's housekeeper. On my first day there, he violates me. I want to call the cops, but my father tells me to be forgiving of him. After that, the old man's daughter thinks I seduced her father and has me beaten to death. When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the day my father lent money to our neighbor.
