Lyra Ashford, a young doctor, believed her life with her fiancé, Lucas Arden, was just beginning. But everything changed when Lucas suddenly left to go abroad, postponing their wedding without even asking her. He simply assumed she would wait for him to return. But Lyra, to protect her family, she agreed to marry Rowan Pierce instead—a man she never imagined she could love. At the altar, Rowan made it clear he would not accept a marriage of convenience. He wanted Lyra to choose him freely, not out of obligation.

From overworked corporate slave to… the fat niece of a future villain? At twenty-three, my life ended in the most ironic way possible—drowning in a lake while reading an online romance novel. When I woke up, I wasn’t just alive—I was inside that very novel. And worse, not as the princess or the healer or even the tragic maid. No. I woke up as Seraphine Agro, the silver-haired, chubby niece of the story’s main villain, Duke Tayler Agro—the man who would one day summon a famine, experiment on peasants, and get publicly executed. Awesome. Now I’m stuck in a half-collapsed mansion with stale soup, a broken “Duke” father who’s too kind for his own good, and an entire kingdom collapsing into plague and hunger. And to make things worse, the hero of the story—the dangerously handsome knight Sir Alex Canva—is on his way to inspect our lands. I know the plot. I know who dies. And I’m not planning to go quietly. Armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a questionable diet, I’m rewriting destiny—one disastrous choice at a time.

The rules were simple 1. Don't get attached, people leave fast 2. The world was beautiful to make up for the wickedness of people's heart 3. Love is a cute word...but it thrives on pain And I abided...lived by it....Until He showed up, spending every second to prove to me, to show me that I was wrong about this world, that there was enough light to scare the shadows away, that if I held my hand out, someone would hold on to it....but he was only human after all... wasn't he? One knows the sun and the other has only ever know the night Butterflies and moths may look alike, but we know which is which, because the are never in the same place at the same time....ATLeast that was what we thought.

Mira Sharma, owner of the city’s most beloved cupcake bakery, comes home one evening to find her entire family unnervingly excited. They show her a photograph of a breathtakingly handsome stranger—eyes sharp like a hunter—and announce her wedding is fixed. The venue is already booked. The date is set. Her consent doesn’t matter. Stunned, Mira reaches out to the one person who always stood by her: her best friend and would-be maid-of-honor, Anya. But the moment Anya agrees to meet, she vanishes. Her phone goes dead. Her house is locked. Every familiar place turns up empty. And Mira is the only one who seems to care. Her family brushes it off, more invested in the mysterious groom than a missing girl. With the wedding trip to the luxurious Veloria Heights just two days away, Mira is forced to choose: prepare to marry a man she’s never met… or uncover what really happened to the only friend she trusts. But the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes—Anya’s disappearance is not an accident. And the man in the photograph may not be a stranger at all.

Eva Ivanova never planned on diapers or lullabies—least of all for a baby who barely makes a sound. But when her best friend dies and names her guardian of an eerily quiet infant, Eva’s world shatters. And it gets worse. The courts assign her a co-guardian: Alessandro Bianchi. Mafia royalty. Hitman in a suit. Her sworn rival in every courtroom they’ve ever battled in. Forced into parenthood together, Eva and Alessandro quickly realize the baby isn’t just quiet—she’s connected to a trafficking network buried deep inside the justice system. And someone will kill to get her back. As enemies close in and old wounds bleed open, the line between hatred and hunger turns dangerously thin. Enemies in court. Partners in crime. Parents by force. And maybe… something they never saw coming.

EXCERPT: "I am not your wife." His humorless smile taunted me. "Our marriage certificate says otherwise." "I don't remember getting married to you, or ever getting involved with you." His fingers dragged down to my jawline, brushing over the skin with feather-like touches. "That's alright. I'll remember for both of us." "I don't want to be with you." Tears filled my eyes against my will. "Where's my family?" "I'm right here, Dahlia. I am your family now. It doesn't matter that you don't remember now. I'll remember for the both of us." . . . He says I chose him. I don't remember why. The last thing I expected after waking up from a nine-month-long coma was a man attached to my side, claiming to be my husband. But there he was. Calm, infuriatingly composed, so sure of himself, and dangerously good at making me believe we were something real. All I have are vague pieces of a night I can't forget and a man I'm not sure I can trust. Maybe he's my ruin. Maybe he's my salvation. Either way, he claims I'm his forever. *** She doesn't remember the night she chose me. One impulsive night in Vegas tied us together forever. One I could never forget. Now she looks at me like I'm a stranger. Maybe I am. The smartest, most selfless thing to do would be letting her go, letting her find her way back to me, but I'm not as selfless. I'm as selfish as they come, and this time, I wasn't letting her slip through my fingers; not to fate, not to fear, and not even to death. This time, I was going to take her heart, too.

I was nothing special. A shut-in. A chubby, ordinary girl who blended into the background like a shadow. Easy to ignore. Easier to mock. The world never ran out of ways to remind me I didn’t belong. Cruel jokes in hallways. Laughter that followed me home. Words sharper than blades, carving deeper than bruises ever could. Bit by bit, I shrank into myself until there was nothing left but silence and the weight of my own loneliness. That night, I decided I’d had enough. The chair creaked under me. The rope swayed above. My room was still, suffocating, as if the world didn’t care whether I breathed or not. And maybe it didn’t. Then—music. It came from the neighbor’s stereo, muffled through the thin walls. A single voice cutting into the darkness. A voice that shouldn’t have reached me, but did. Strong. Raw. Alive. It wrapped around me like a hand pulling me back from the edge. The lyrics told me not to hide my light. That even if it flickered, it still burned. I gasped, stumbling from the chair, clutching my chest as though those words had physically struck me. Tears blurred my vision, but for the first time in forever, they weren’t from pain—they were from something I thought I’d lost. Hope. That voice saved me. His voice. Eric. The lead singer of AUREA—the boyband that would one day become gods in the music world. To me, he wasn’t just an idol. He was my lifeline. And then . . . years later, when he died, the world mourned. I mourned. The one who saved me, the reason of my life, was gone, ripped from life far too soon. I thought it was over. But fate had other plans. One desperate wish, one shattered night, and when I opened my eyes—I was ten years in the past. Before the world knew AUREA. Before Eric was swallowed by fame. Before his voice was silenced forever. I’m just Emy—ordinary, clumsy, and invisible to most. But this time . . . it’s my turn. Eric saved me once. Now, I’ll save him. No matter what it takes.

Now, if I survive, I'll rise from the ashes to claim my legacy and become the stepmother from hell. I have only one goal, to make my ex-husband call me "Stepmother."
