I watched as Dad looked at me with some kind of angered expression, as usual he believes her.  " Fiona, how many times do i have to tell you to have some respect for my wife? Whether you like it or not she's now your mother. Is this a way to treat your mother"?  "She can never be my mother, she doesn't even have the qualities of being a mother. Why do you always side with her? Can't you see the way she's treating me"?  "Enough Fiona"!!! "You promised mom that you'd always love me and take care of me, but I'm a slave in my own father's house"!! "Hey, don't try to manipulate my husband, what you did was wrong and you expect me not to caution you? Go to your room" I just watched as Dad expression fell, she was manipulating him and turning him against his own daughter.  "You heard her Fiona, go to your room".

(trigger warning. This book contains mature themes) ****** "I can't..." she gasped between broken moans, her voice trembling somewhere between pain and pleasure. Every thrust seemed to blur the line between surrender and defiance. Then she whispered a name between her sweet cries ...it wasn’t mine. I froze. A slow, humorless smile curved my lips as the sound of his name filled the space between us. “Raph…” she breathed. I leaned in, my mouth brushing her ear. Feeling her tremble from touch until my teeth nibbled her earlobes hard enough to make her whimper and her fold to clench around my fingers. “Wrong name, Lynn.” I hissed, withdrawing from the warmth of her insides. I felt her body tense. She clawed at my shoulders, a desperate plea in every touch. “Don’t…” she whimpered. Those jade-like eyes unravelled me that moment. I could feel the ache in my trousers. A troublesome little viper. A cruel smile traced my lips hiding my emotions. “You called the wrong name,” I murmured, my voice low, dangerous. “And bad girls deserve to be punished.” Her glossy eyes met mine... so full of confusion, want, and power she didn’t yet understand. If she only knew how close I was to breaking. Because the only name she should be calling… was mine. Lucien. I craved it as badly as the air I breathe. ****** For better or for worse, till death do us part. That was their vows at the altar, but her husband broke them first.. He claims an open marriage is the solution to their childless marriage and that it's to protect her own interests. But all Braelyn sees is a prison built from guilt and lies. One heartbroken night, she stumbles into a karaoke bar and into the arms of Lucien. A man shrouded in mystery, rebellion, and danger. His very presence tells her to run but it also gives her the solace she craved. She never expected to see him again after she ran, forgetting his sinful existence, but life wasn't done making a joke out of her. Lucien isn't just any man, but one who can destroy everything she believes in. The man she was never meant to meet. Her husband's uncle The black sheep of the Volkov dynasty. A man whose desire will ruin her. Lucien knows she can't be his, but he was never a man who respected social norms. He doesn't care about anything but her every sin and touch. All he wants… is her, no matter how sinful it gets.

Not a mere beefing and love story, but a wild adventure with sexual encounters.

"I don't need your charity, Cameron. If I'm not your first choice, I won't be your second." Twenty-four hours ago, Scarlett Mitchell had everything: a fortune, a name, a family. Then her fiancé leaked intimate photos of her, her father disowned her for "embarrassing the company," and every door in London slammed shut. Now she's standing in Cameron Ashford's office, the powerful CEO who made her a scandalous offer: a fake engagement to restore her reputation. In exchange, she'll help rehabilitate his image after his own scandal. It's a business arrangement, cold and simple. What Scarlett doesn't expect is that Cameron seems more interested in protecting his ex-girlfriend, Victoria, than actually being with her. He cancels dates to help Victoria with "emergencies." He takes her calls at midnight. Every time Scarlett tries to get close to him, he pulls away, leaving her wondering if she's just a pawn in his game. What Cameron doesn't know: Scarlett is stronger than she looks. She's done being second choice. What Scarlett doesn't realize: Every time he distances himself, it's to protect her from the enemies circling both their lives. His devotion to Victoria? A calculated cover. His emotional walls? A shield against the truth, that he's falling for a woman he's trying desperately not to destroy. As paparazzi, corporate sabotage, and family secrets threaten to unravel everything, Scarlett demands answers. Does Cameron see her as a threat to be managed, or a woman to be loved? And when the truth emerges, that he's been protecting her all along, that Victoria was never his first love, will Scarlett's wounded heart let him in? Some men are broken. Some women refuse to stay broken. This is their story.

They were trying to build a better smart home. Instead, they accidentally found a crack in reality. For doctoral candidate Lonna Patricks, "Spatial Pinhole Theory" was just a fringe physics thesis destined for academic rejection. That is, until two tech billionaires arrive in West Virginia with a blank check and an impossible secret. They haven't just theorized about topological defects in the universe—they’ve accidentally built a neighborhood right on top of one. Relocated to a highly classified "skunkworks" facility in Silicon Valley, Lonna joins an elite, eccentric team to do what modern science says is impossible: build a functional "burglar alarm" to detect invisible holes in the fabric of the world. However, mapping these anomalies requires a delicate dance with high-voltage capacitors, chaotic entropy signals, and venturing into the subterranean depths of a derelict textile factory. As the science pushes the boundaries of the physical world, the brilliant men funding the research are pushing Lonna's personal limits. She finds herself caught in an intense, magnetic tug-of-war between the ruthlessly demanding Apex CEO Julian Vane, who wants to break the rules just to see what happens, and the charming, steady GIG CEO Alex Greyson, who wants to build a foundation strong enough to survive the fallout. With a massive, dormant "Breach" discovered beneath their feet and an unknown entity using impossible, white-hot fire to cauterize anomalies in the shadows, the team must perfect their reality-detecting radar before the balance tips. Because the laws of physics are breaking down, and Lonna is the only one who can calculate the true cost SWITCH: Entropy is a 50-chapter prequel as part of the SWITCH light novel series.

What happens when a contract expires and the lines between fake and real blur beyond recognition?
