Amara Castillo never thought her first big break as a wedding coordinator would turn into a nightmare. Her best friend promised the job was for her cousin’s wedding, a glamorous event that could launch Amara into the top tier of her career. But it was a lie. The groom was not her cousin. He was her brother, Trey Alvarez. Amara grew up inside the Alvarez mansion as the maid’s daughter, living in the servants’ wing while luxury surrounded her. Trey was the heir, ten years older, raised to inherit power and wealth. Amara learned early how to stay quiet and unseen. For years, she loved him in secret. He was handsome, controlled, and carried the confidence of someone born for greatness. By the age of twenty-five, Trey had become the CEO of his father’s empire, shaped by pressure and expectations. On Amara’s fifteenth birthday, she finally confessed her feelings in the rose garden. For a brief moment, she thought she saw something forbidden in his eyes. Then his face hardened. “You’re just a child. The maid’s daughter. Stop believing in fairy tales.” He walked away and left her alone with her heartbreak. That night, the hopeful girl she once was disappeared. Ten years later, Amara is no longer invisible. She is now one of the city’s most in-demand wedding coordinators. This job should have changed her life for the better. Instead, it brings her face to face with the man who broke her heart. When they meet again, Trey is cold and dismissive. “So they trusted you with my wedding?” he says. “You’re not who I expected. I don’t want someone young and inexperienced handling it.” Years ago, those words would have crushed her. Now, she stands her ground. “You’re judging my age, not my ability,” she says. “That’s not confidence. That’s prejudice.” Trey is stunned. The quiet girl he once dismissed is gone. In her place is a confident woman who commands attention and does not back down. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot stop watching her. She was always supposed to be off-limits. Before, it was easy to tell himself she was too young and from a different world. Now, those excuses no longer work. Amara must plan every detail of Trey Alvarez’s wedding to another woman, surrounded by wealth, memories, and emotions she cannot escape. The longer she stays, the heavier the tension becomes. Glances linger. Silence speaks louder than words. Until one unexpected moment changes everything. Now, Amara’s career, her pride, and her heart are all at risk. Because planning someone else’s wedding is impossible when your own feelings refuse to stay buried.

Guaranteed HEA and toe-curling smut;) Excerpt: “ Do you not want me?" I whisper, the question trembling right against his lips. His jaw tightens. His eyes darken. "You don't understand how much I want you," his voice comes out raspy. "How much I want from you." My pulse stumbles. "Then what's stopping you?" I breathe, pushing my chest forward without thinking, nipples tightening under the cool air, awareness pulsing through me. "I'm a greedy man, Rain." He holds my gaze. There's heat there. But there's fear too , both in equal measure. "I will take everything out of you. Everything." His voice carries a dark unmistakable hunger. His hands slide lower, deliberate and possessive. His fingers squeeze my ass hard, then settle there, pulling me closer into the hard line of his hips. "Everything. Until the only thing that remains in you is me." The words land low inside me, hot, aching. My sex throbs in answer, needy, traitorous. "And I will let you," I tell him, voice steady, eyes locked on his. "Only if I get to do the same to you." Silence stretches. His breath skims my cheek. His fingers tightening and then gone. Something flickers across his face hunger, and something I can't begin to understand. And then he looks down in defeat, knowing that he cannot give me what I want. Something fragile cracks between us. Whatever this is looms between us, darkening every moment , a shadow neither of us will name, stretching and stretching until it's all I can feel Contains intense slow-burn heat, emotional angst, and consensual light BDSM. "I'm going to do something," he says, voice low, deliberate, "And I need you to trust me. Do you trust me, Rain?" My mind is drifting somewhere far away — hazy, floating — but my body knows the answer instinctively. Yes. Yes. Yes. I nod slowly. "Yes." "Good," he murmurs against my warm skin. He kisses both my knees one last time, then pushes them up, pinning them tightly against my chest, spreading me completely open for him. Like I'm offering myself to him. His hand slides down, rubbing my pussy in slow, deliberate circles, like he's learning every response and cataloging it . He looks at me — really looks — eyes dark, hungry, ruined. "I'm going to spank you right here," he says, still stroking, like he's soothing me into obedience. "Right where you're swollen for me." All I can do is shiver. "You're going to count," he continues, calm and merciless. "Five."

Ji Woo loved reading fantasy novels more than anything. One night while finishing her favorite story, something impossible happens—she wakes up inside the novel’s world.

Seraphina Delaire believes words are power. Nathaniel Clarke believes precision is control. They've been academic rivals since childhood - sharp-tongued, competitive, and far too familiar with each other's weaknesses. She argues in paragraphs. He responds in bullet points. She escalates. He calculates. In college, a forced research partnership reunites them once again - and a bureaucratic error turns that partnership into something legally binding. Married by paperwork and stuck waiting for an annulment, Sera and Nate must navigate gossip, family expectations, and the absurdity of pretending to be a functioning couple. The problem? Pretending is easy. Because no one knows Sera like Nate does. And no one sees through Nate like Sera can. As old rivalries blur into something far more dangerous, they're forced to confront a question neither of them is prepared to answer: What if this mistake was never accidental at all?

This is the end. I’m going to die… That was the only thought in my mind as I stood surrounded by monsters, abandoned by my teachers and classmates during a monster rampage. Just as the Minotaur raised its hammer to crush me, a figure appeared out of nowhere. He swung his scythe and sliced the beast in half, then cut down the rest of the monsters in the blink of an eye. From that day on, I saw him as my savior. But why did everyone else see him as a villain? The media painted him as cruel and cold, a brutal ranker with an awful personality. They called him dangerous, someone to be feared and hated. What the hell are you guys talking about? Ezekiel isn’t like that! But no one believed me. Years passed, and I saw him again... It was at his funeral. He saved my life, and I couldn't save his. The guilt crushed me. But then, a miracle came. I was given a chance to make one single wish. “I wish I could save him!” I shouted without hesitation. And in that moment, time turned back to the day he died. #modernfantasy #romance #femaleleadpov #dungeons #rankers #adventurers #monsters #gates#internet#revenge

I came to the mountains to rest. Tokyo had become too loud, too heavy, and my friend thought visiting my grandmother’s village might help clear my mind. I didn’t expect much.

Somewhere between the forest paths, the hidden lake, and the small shrine that villagers still worship, I met someone unusual. A quiet boy named Rōga.

And somehow, during those quiet days beneath the trees, I fell in love with a wolf. He asked me to wait for him. So I will.

Marella dared to join a school trip to an island in the middle of the sea without her parents' permission because if they found out, she would be forbidden from going, just like before. Since childhood, Marella had always been forbidden from setting foot on the beach, but this time she was more reckless. She never imagined the tragic accident that would sink her into the open sea from a ship hit by a storm. With a broken heart, she sank, inhaling water that made her whole body ache. She closed her eyes as consciousness began to slip away from her. When she awoke, she was greeted harshly by a Siren Prince who accused her of being an intruder from the Mermaid Kingdom because Marella’s legs had transformed into a beautiful fishtail, making it almost impossible for her to believe it. Was this because of the internet ritual she had performed out of boredom the night before? What had actually happened to her? Was this just a coincidence? Or was the sea demanding something from her?

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".
