Do Not Disturb Freida Mcfadden

— Abre um pouco mais, Eva, Eva... Isso... assim mesmo. Meu corpo inteiro parecia derreter sobre a maca de exames. Meus dedos agarravam os lençóis com uma força involuntária. A voz atrás de mim era grave e contida... Cada palavra dele fazia meu corpo vibrar e minhas orelhas arderem. A posição do exame era vergonhosa demais. Meus quadris eram obrigados a se erguerem, altos demais, numa postura que parecia pura rendição. — Doutor... eu... ah... não consigo abrir mais... — Murmurei, mordendo o lábio inferior, a voz tremendo de propósito. Através da barra metálica da maca, vi meu reflexo: cabelos bagunçados colados à face corada, os olhos úmidos, turvos, brilhando com um desejo confuso.

Rafe Serafin was once the Mafia’s most feared enforcer until a betrayal forced him into hiding behind the quiet life of a bartender. He plans to stay invisible. Until the night he saves billionaire CEO Derek Morgan from a hit and gets pulled back into the world he swore he’d never touch again. Derek is marked for death, hunted by enemies who won’t stop. And the only man capable of keeping him alive is the one who refuses to take the job. Rafe knows what happens to the people he protects; they die and he can’t survive losing someone again. But when multiple Mafia factions close in and the city becomes a hunting ground, Rafe does the one thing he promised himself he’d never do: He steps back into the darkness to save Derek. As bullets fly, feelings grow, and secrets unravel, Rafe learns the truth: Derek is being targeted because of a secret buried in his father’s past. And when Rafe is ordered to betray Derek, the same command that once destroyed his life, he makes his choice…

Steven Zimmer, the assistant of my wife, Lucy Quinn, has lost in a truth-or-dare session. Lucy doesn't hesitate to file for a divorce from me for the ninth time. In the courthouse, I hear the staff member asking Lucy curiously, "Your husband is like a well-trained dog now. You've already married and divorced him nine times! Aren't you worried that your husband might ditch you for real?" Lucy merely smirks at her. "Do you know that the more ruthless you are when you abandon your pets, the harder it'll be for them to live without you? In fact, they will just become more obedient and docile. As long as I curl a finger at him, he'll definitely sink down to his knees and beg me to remarry him." Everyone bursts into laughter after that. They bet that I'll plead pathetically to Lucy to remarry me for the tenth time in less than a day after I've obtained the divorce certificate. Lucy even declares that she'll stream the tenth wedding proposal on the Internet when it happens. But the next day, Lucy keeps waiting for me to show up at the city hall while clad in a wedding dress. All she gets is a text from me. "No more proposals. This is the end between us, Lucy."

When I was young, I saved a fae—charming and extremely handsome. In return, he offered me one wish, and I, lost in romantic fantasies, asked for the strongest wolves to be obsessed with me. It sounded dreamy—until it wasn’t. Obsession, I learned, is a storm disguised as a dream. First up, my stepbrother—his obsession turned him into a tormentor. Life became unbearable, and I had to escape before a mating ceremony that felt more like a nightmare than a love story. But freedom was short-lived. The next wolf found me, nearly made me his dinner, and kidnapped me away to his kingdom, proclaiming I would be his Luna. He wasn’t as terrifying, but when he announced our wedding plans (against my will, obviously), his best friend appeared as competitor number three. “Great! Just what I needed,” I thought. This third wolf was sweet, gentle, and truly cared—but, alas, he wasn’t my type. Desperate, I tracked down the fae. “Please, undo my wish! I want out of this romantic disaster!” My heart raced; I really needed him to understand me. He just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. “Sorry, you’re on your own. But I can help you pick the best one out of them!” How do I fix this mess? Facing three intense wolves: “Marry me, I’ll kill anyone who bothers you!” the first declared fiercely. “No, marry me! I’ll make you the happiest ever,” the second pleaded. “I’ll destroy every kingdom you walk into. You’re mine!” the third growled, eyes blazed. “Seriously, what have I gotten myself into?” A long sigh escaped my lips. Caught between a curse and a hard place, I really just wanted peace and quiet…but which one do I choose?
