Shantel Hale has spent her life trying to live above the dark shadows her mother’s reputation cast over her. She has seen powerful men fall at Jessica Hale’s feet— the infamous seductress popularly termed the modern day ‘Jezebel’ only to be left ruined afterwards. But unlike her sisters, who embraced their mother’s legacy to build fortunes and secure influential husbands, Shantel, the seventh and youngest daughter of Jessica Hale, had carved her own path in secret, gathering several awesome identities for herself. One of them was the elusive Elsa—an influential force in the corporate world, sought after by the most powerful executives. Invincible CEOs vie for her counsel, but she has consistently refused to step into the limelight while offering her services. Meanwhile, in a desperate bid to salvage his company that was crumbling after a scandal, Richard Domango turns to Elsa, convinced that she is the only one who can save him. Seeing that Richard had played right into her hands, Shantel will stop at nothing to demand for her pound of flesh from Richard for humiliating her in the past. But neither is ready for the sparks that begins to fly between them, especially Richard after finding out that his saviour, whom he fell helplessly for at first sight, is none other than Shantel Hale— ‘the seventh daughter of Jezebel’ and the very woman he’d felt nothing but blatant disdain for all his life. Will they allow their past to chart a vengeful path for them, or give in to the all consuming attraction growing between them in leaps and bounds by the day?

The Takeover Was Personal They were raised as royalty. Crowned by legacy. Trained to win. Trisha Singhania-Trixie to the few who dare-is the sharp-suited, no-nonsense CEO of The Singhania Royale, Rajasthan's most elite 5-star bar, hotel, and restaurant. Known for her calm dominance and piercing charm, she built an empire with her mind-and guarded her heart with steel. Reeva Khanna-Reeves to those who know the softness behind the sarcasm-is the graceful yet cunning CEO of The Khanna Court, a royal 5-star haven of luxury and legacy. With elegance as her weapon and wit as her armor, she's as alluring as she is unreadable. They've known of each other for years-but never met. Until now. At CROWNED: The New Age Icons Awards in Jaipur, their worlds collide. Flirtation sparks. Tension simmers. And when Trisha wins the title, it's not just the trophy that leaves Reeva breathless-it's a look. A silent invitation neither of them is ready to name. A spontaneous business meeting turns into a proposal: Toast of Royals, a new luxury restaurant meant to unite the two empires. What starts as a calculated partnership quickly blurs into late-night talks, casual touches, and a mutual agreement for no-strings sex. But when bodies begin to crave more than just heat, and hearts start asking questions they never intended to answer, it all spirals. Trisha pulls away. Reeva breaks. And just when it seems like desire was all it ever was, fate intervenes. This time, it's not business. It's not rivalry. It's personal. A royal, Sapphic slow-burn featuring rivals turned partners, casual turned complicated, and love that wasn't part of the pitch-but took over anyway.

They called me Lu Siyan—the cold CEO, the aloof husband of the villainess in some overused female lead novel. But I wasn’t some extra. I wasn’t here to play along. And no, it’s really not because I got thrown out of the office that I ran off to the slums. I just didn’t feel like bowing to a world that already scripted my failure. With nothing but a borrowed suit and a fake ID, I built a company out of lies, sweat, and caffeine. My first batch of employees? Kidnapped—well, hunted—from a third-rate college using a plastic gun. The principal, oddly impressed, muttered, “At least he’s increasing our employment rate…” The office was a mess, so I made it into a simulator. Literally. I built an “Office Worker Simulator” where chaos reigned and productivity thrived. My empire rose from bugs, bugs, and even more bugs. But it worked. Then one day, I saw her—my old boss from my past life, looking exactly the same. Turns out, she’s my biological mother in this world. The same boss who wrung me dry like a used dishcloth… was my actual mom here. I thought I was just born to suffer. Still, a boss is a boss. And a sponsorship is a sponsorship. So I did what any self-respecting fake CEO would do. I made my mom the chairman of my company. And so begins the tale of the slum CEO, the accidental son, and the world’s first “office simulator tycoon.”

And somehow, in the silence between them… something begins to grow. But when his memories return, so does the danger—and the truth. He’s not just anyone. And he’s not hers. He has a fiancée. A past. And no memory of the girl who once saved him. So why can’t he stay away?

A neatly color-coded, perfectly curated, bullet-journal-approved kind of plan. The kind of plan with checkboxes, motivational quotes scribbled in the margins, and an unhealthy number of post-its. She was going to become Mumbai’s best, boldest, badass lawyer, land a coveted job at the ridiculously prestigious BR Advocates — a firm so elite it practically air-kissed lesser mortals — and slowly take over the world, one perfectly argued case at a time. Shanaya wasn’t just ambitious. She was capital-A Ambitious. And maybe a little dramatic, excessively sarcastic, and allergic to bullshit. So naturally, when she nailed every single requirement BR Advocates asked for — top of her class? Check. Ruthless work ethic? Double check. A sharp tongue capable of verbally decimating anyone who doubted her? Triple, sparkly check — she figured the job was practically hers. Until the firm pulled a surprise. A New hiring rule: Only experienced, married applicants will be considered. Married? As in, spouse? Legal binding married? She blinked. Holy crap! And sure, Shanaya might have aggressively whispered ‘burn it all down’ under her breath in the middle of HR’s lobby. And yes, she might have chucked a high heel at her vision board. But desperation breeds creativity. And Shanaya Thakur? She was nothing if not dangerously creative when backed into a corner. Which is how the idea was born. Find a husband! Any husband! In two weeks. Which brings us to Yuvaan Grewal: Six-foot-something of maddening calm, devastating looks, and a talent for making tailored suits look illegal. President of Sauvé, one of India’s most successful product companies, Yuvaan is brilliant, emotionally detached, and permanently single — by choice. A choice his mother hates. After dodging fifty arranged proposals, eighty dates, and roughly a hundred aunties armed with lovely girls from nice families, Yuvaan’s perfected the art of politely refusing romance and staying unmarried. Until one scandal, a series of hilariously unfortunate coincidences, and one very desperate law graduate with excellent cheekbones land them both in a situation neither of them asked for: A fake marriage. It’s supposed to be simple. A business arrangement. A temporary fix. But with Shanaya’s sharp mouth, Yuvaan’s smoldering glares, and a growing list of almost-kisses they both pretend not to remember — things are about to get complicated. Because what happens when the one person you swear you can’t stand starts feeling alarmingly like home? And Love ? That was never part of the plan. But then again… when is it ever? _____________________ DISCLAIMER: The book contains mature content, so please read under the parental guidance.

“Chantelle Bently, you’re a murderer! Why are you still alive? You should have been the one to die!” Daniel shoved her away furiously, his face as dark and empty as the black suit he wore. Chantelle was caught off guard and lost her balance, falling hard onto her pregnant belly. The pain was unbearable, and she cried out as her body trembled. Chantelle shook her head desperately. “I told you, it wasn’t me! It was Kate!” In a trembling voice, she pleaded, “Daniel, how many times do I have to say this before you believe me? I didn’t betray your family or the Wilson Group Of Companies, and I didn’t cause your grandfather’s death.” Anger and resentment appeared in Daniel’s eyes as he threw the divorce settlement in Chantelle’s face. “Sign this now!

Late at night, my dad entered home with blood stains all over his black suit and white shirt. As always my younger sister came to welcome him back, but I hid him from her sight. She asked, “Why do you keep hiding dad from my sight, sister Ari? Is he naked or what?” “Mind your business!” I scold. My dad is a member of Black Vane organisation, unofficial, who spies over and assassinates rich business people and politicians. No one knows the existence of this organisation. The one who however got their existence are the one of those politicians and business people who are threatened, and make them accept their terms of policy.

My dad gave me a paper and an identity card. “What's this, dad?” “It's your access to Velvéra Fashion company. I am giving these to you. From Tomorrow onwards, you have to work there as a secretary to the CEO. And here for me, spying over there.” “Wait, wait! What?! Are you serious, dad? My stepbrother, you mean? Don't throw me wherever you want, Mr. Oak.” After my biological father remarried, I was humiliated and perverted by one of my elder step brothers, at a young age. For which I had to become homeless.

'Oh God pretty please! This looks too good to be true.' Mia thought as she pushed her lips forward with her eyes closed to be kissed. Rey's breath got labored, he had to fight against getting a hard-on just looking at her this way. 'What is she doing to me?' He saw the way her eyes closed in earnest, trying to get a kiss from him. He almost gave in but held himself back at the last minute, what was wrong with him!? This is against the contract; she said it herself, 'no strings attached.' This, this whole thing was breaching the contract. "What do you think you are doing?" Rey chuckled loudly making Mia's eyes open abruptly. "What." She looked at his mocking gaze and felt the air being squeezed out of her lungs. "Do you have what it takes to kiss me?" The question rang over and again in her head, and her eyes blurred with tears. Looking down to avoid him seeing her hurt which he already noticed by the way, she shook her head in response. "You must be delusional." Rey avoided looking at Mia after seeing the initial hurt in her eyes. He knew his words were hurtful, but he had to say them to cut any unnecessary bond between them; this was purely a business transaction and nothing else. 'Delusional' repeated itself in Mia's head and whatever romantic thought she had about him died instantly. "What was it you wanted to do? Kiss me even when I pay you. ****** Mia who had sat down on the pile of her clothes with her now dried body, looked about distraught. "I shouldn't have allowed him anywhere close to me." Her eyes were reddened, and her lips pouted as she was about to cry. In such an intense moment, she forgot there were to be no strings attached, and everything was to be transactional. Holding onto the pain and embarrassment of the night, she vowed never to allow herself to fall too cheap for his deliberate deception. ******* "Reynaldo Davies, the first and only son of The Davies, finds himself in a constricted situation of choosing a wife, a command made clear by his Father, Mr Davies, on turning sixty, otherwise, young Davies would forfeit his inheritance to his younger sister.

[Mature Content] "Please, call me Christian," he insists. "And I know this might be intrusive, but I can't help but wonder if there's anything I can do to help. Professionally or personally." Surprised by his offer, Marilena considers the possibilities. Here is a man she barely knows, the boss of the man who just broke her heart, extending a helping hand. Perhaps in the storm of her emotions, a strategic alliance could be forged. "Well," she begins, a spark of determination igniting in her eyes, "there is one thing you could help me with, Christian." With a newfound determination, Marilena approaches Christian with a proposition. "Help me show him what he's missing," she says, her eyes sparkling with a blend of mischief and resolve.

It's simple. A vengeful wildfire of a woman. A tyrant who begs to be burned. When Aria crashes into Kael’s empire, hellbent on making him pay for taking her job away, she’s met not with defiance—but a dare. “You want revenge?” he taunts, voice dripping with dark invitation. “Then ruin me. Take your pound of flesh exactly where it hurts.” His proposition is a trap laced with sin: As expected he calls the shots in his bed, her contempt is his twisted aphrodisiac. “Hate me until your hands shake,” he growls. “But do it on top of me, where I can watch you savor every cut.” Their arrangement is a collision of dominance and delirium. Aria wields her fury like a blade, determined to break him. Kael? He thrives under her wrath, goading her darker, deeper, hungrier. But vengeance turns slippery when every insult she hisses ignites his obsession, and every cold glare melts into bruising kisses. Soon, the bed becomes a battleground—her nails carving victory into his skin, his whispers a serpent’s promise: “Chain me with your rage, darling. I’ll still come back for more." The rules are simple: No mercy. No surrender. But as their games spiral into something ravenous, who’s destroying whom? And when hatred burns this hot, what’s left when the ashes cool?
