Hannah: I married my boss, Tobias Ford, not out of love but because I needed money, and now I'm sleeping beside a gorgeous billionaire who I call my husband. My friends are jealous because Tobias is everything they want: hot, rich, and he always picks me up in his brand-new car, but what my friends don't know is that his heart is cold. And yet, I'm falling for him... Tobias: My ex-wife, Sarah, cheated on me, and now she is getting married to my best friend and former business partner, Daniel Henriksson. It kills me to see them together, especially since my ex-wife knows I'm miserable. So to pretend I'm over her, I'm getting married to a college student. Hannah works for me. She is also younger than me—I won't fall for her. All I want is for my ex-wife to think I'm happy. I didn't marry Hannah out of love, so why I can't stop thinking about her?

My husband, Carlton Stewart, looked me right in the eye and asked me to abort his unborn child. Then he asked for a divorce. That didn’t hurt me more than when I discovered the reason he asked me to abort his child. I felt so worthless and even more worthless when my husband threw me in jail after my sister accused me of a crime, we all knew I would never commit. Six months went down in speed and I was out of prison with six months pregnancy. Unconventionally, I met a young man who surprisingly was hell-bent on helping me take revenge on my ex-husband and all of them who’d hurt me.

“I don't understand,” I tell Viktor, desperately. “I don't know why the bond is still there. I accepted his rejection, I don't want him, I want you. Whatever yearnings you saw between us, is not by choice. You are my mate. I choose you.” “Then why is the bind still present?” he snaps as he turns from me. “I don't know! And frankly, I don't care! I haven't cared or thought about Dominic in nearly a decade. How can I prove that you are the one I love?” I ask as I take hold of his hands, hoping that he sees my sincerity. “Have the ceremony with me.” “What?!” “The mating ceremony, where we bind ourselves to each other. Let's do it. That is the only way I can relax. Be mine. Truly, mine.” Rowan Blaze, abused and maltreated in her former pack and after being rejected and left to die by her Alpha finds a second chance as a rogue. Now known as the Winter Wolf, and leader of the largest rogue coalition, with a renowned dislike for packs, fate offers her another chance at love in the form of Alpha Viktor Thorn, a renowned man known for his wicked intelligence and stubborn persona. How do these two stubborn individuals react to this opportunity? Are they capable of letting their walls down and giving life one more chance? And what of Dominic Valor? Is he capable of letting go of his rejected mate or would he do anything to right the wrong he made years ago?

She looked at her with contempt, her red heels clicking on the ground. A sinister smile is plastered on her face full of malice. "Whatever you do, he's mine. Even if you go back in time, he's always be mine." Then the man beside the woman with red heels, snaked his hands on her waist. "You'll never be my partner. You're a trash!" The pair walked out of that dark alley and left her coughing blood. At the last seconds of her life, her lifeless eyes closed. *** Jade angrily looked at the last page of the book. She believed that everyone deserves to be happy. She heard her mother calling for her to eat but reading is her first priority. And so, until she felt dizzy reading, she fell asleep. *** Words she can't comprehend rang in her ears. She's now the 'Heather' in the book. [No, I won't change the story. I'll just watch on the sidelines.] This is what she believed not until... "Stop slandering Heather unless you want to lose your necks." That was the beginning of her new life as a character.

Nagpakasal ako sa lalaking tinatawag na pangit at inutil ng aking pamilya, pero tagapagmana pala at isa sa pinakamayamang tao sa Pilipinas. *** Nakahandang ibenta ni Rosita ang sarili sa mababang halaga, mabayaran lang ang utang ng mga taong itinuring na niyang mga magulang. Pero inalok siya ng limang milyong piso ng matandang nakabili sa kaniya. Ang kapalit? Pakasalan niya ang anak-anakan nito. Kapalit ang malaking halaga ay pumayag si Rosita na pakasal sa estranghero. Ang hindi niya alam, ubod ng pangit ang lalaking kailangan niyang pakasalan. Wala siyang nagawa kundi pumayag sa kasal at ibigay ang sarili sa pangit na lalaki, pero hindi ang kaniyang puso. Sigurado siyang hinding-hindi niya mamahalin ang katulad ni Sixto na pangit na nga, utusan pa sa Villa Hernandez. Dumating sa buhay niya si Hanz Concepcion—guwapo, simpatico, haciendero at gusto siyang agawin mula sa pangit niyang asawa. Paano kung ang inaakala nilang patay na—magbabalik bilang pinakamayaman at isa sa pinakaguwapong lalaki sa bansa? Titibok na kaya ang puso ni Rosita para sa asawa? Paano kung may ibang babae na pala sa buhay nito? Nakahanda ba siyang ilaban ang pagiging asawa niya—lalo pa't may anak sila?
