LOVE BEHIND THE CONTRACT

Shirley Evans never imagined that one reckless night would turn her ordinary life into the city’s favorite headline. Independent, hardworking, and determined to stay far away from the glittering world of the wealthy, Shelly wakes up in the bed of Darrell Duane—the arrogant billionaire CEO of the Duane Group and the sole heir to one of the most influential business empires in the country. What should have remained a forgotten mistake quickly spirals into a media frenzy when paparazzi capture the scandal, threatening both Darrell’s carefully guarded reputation and Shelly’s peaceful life. To silence the rumors and protect the Duane family’s image, Darrell proposes an outrageous solution: a fake engagement. For Shelly, agreeing means stepping into a world of luxury, ruthless business politics, relentless media attention, and a man whose cold arrogance is matched only by his irresistible charm. For Darrell, it’s nothing more than another calculated business arrangement—one with clear rules, no emotions, and a definite end. But as they continue to play the roles of the perfect couple, the line between pretense and reality begins to blur. Hidden wounds are exposed, dangerous secrets come to light, and hearts that were never meant to fall become impossible to ignore. What began as a scandal to protect a billionaire’s reputation may become the greatest love story either of them ever expected—or the biggest mistake of their lives.

The Trident's Obsession: Claimed By Three

[Warning: R18+ Content] I thought I was going to die. So I chose to be remembered. One night. One drink. One sin I could never take back. But the men I met at the bar weren’t strangers. They were The Trident… three ruthless heirs of the Corvanni Dynasty, the most feared mafia bloodline alive. Draven. Silent, merciless, a predator cloaked in shadows. Lucian. Calculative, hauntingly beautiful, a devil with a silver tongue. And Azriel. Wild, reckless, dangerously addictive. They don’t ask. They take. And now they want me… completely. Their obsession burns hotter than their empire. Their touch is forbidden, but I can’t resist. Because the deeper I fall, the clearer it becomes… I’m not just their desire. I’m their ruin. Excerpt ********** “Run if you want, Jade.” The nickname rolled off Lucian’s tongue like a promise and a threat, one no one had ever dared call me before. My breath hitched, legs trembling, but before I could take a step, Draven’s hand closed around my wrist… iron, unyielding. “You think you can walk away after tasting us?” His voice was quiet, deadly, sending shivers straight to my core. Azriel leaned in from behind, his lips brushing the shell of my ear as his laughter burned through me. “Sweetheart, we don’t chase what’s already ours. And you, little Jade…” his teeth grazed my skin, “…you belong to the Trident now.” Azriel’s fingers tilted my chin up, his grin sinful, dangerous, carved just for me. “Tell me, Jade,” he purred, voice thick with lust, “what do you want?” Heat scorched my skin, my lips parting, but no words came. My body betrayed me, trembling against the wall of Draven’s chest while Lucian’s hand traced lazy circles on my thigh, teasing, tormenting. Azriel’s laugh was low, filthy. “No, sweetheart. Don’t just tremble for us. Say it.” His thumb brushed my lower lip, slow, taunting. “Say what you want. Say you want our hands, our mouths, our cocks… say it, and I’ll give you everything.” Draven’s breath was at my neck, steady, lethal. “Careful,” he murmured, “once you speak it aloud, there’s no going back.” Lucian’s whisper slid against my ear, silken poison. “And when you do, Jade, you’ll never remember what it felt like to be untouched.” My mouth opened before my brain could reason… “I want you,” I whispered. Draven’s hand tightened, Lucian’s eyes darkened, Azriel laughed as if the world had finally given him his prize. Three bodies pressed in, heat and danger wrapping me like a cage I couldn’t escape. Didn’t want to escape. My heart screamed to run, but my body whispered the truth. I wanted them… All of them. ********** Three men. One woman. A love story carved in blood and obsession.
