The Emperor's Forbidden Bride

A one-night stand. A forced marriage. A contract neither of them wants- And a chemistry neither of them can control. When event planner Selene Hartley crosses paths with billionaire Damien Alaric, sparks fly... and not the good kind. One night of passion turns into a lifetime of complications when Selene is forced to marry the man who just bought her late father's failing empire. Publicly, they're the perfect couple. Privately, they can barely be in the same room without starting a war-or tearing each other's clothes off. But when secrets surface and hearts are caught in the crossfire, will one contract destroy them... or bind them forever? _______ "You're arrogant, rude, and-" "Fascinated by the way you look in that dress." Selene's breath catches as Damien steps in, not touching her, but close enough for the heat to curl between them. "You think one compliment will make me forget your insult?" Damien leans down, his voice like silk over a blade. "No. But I think your lips might shut me up." One second of silence. One shattered line of restraint. They crash into each other-teeth, tongues, need. Her back hits the wall. His hands push up her thigh, dress forgotten. Every kiss a punishment. Every moan a surrender. _____ "This is blackmail." "It's business," Damien says, sliding the contract across the table. Selene's jaw tightens. "You want me to marry you to save your image?" "No. I want you to marry me because your father already signed over the company-and you're the only one with the power to make the transition smooth. One year. Just pretend." "Pretend to be in love with you?" "Exactly," Damien answers coolly. ______ "Why do you keep pushing me?" "Because you push back," Damien murmurs, stepping into her space. "You don't own me." "No," Damien breathes, fingers brushing her cheek, "but I think I'm starting to want to." The kiss this time is slower. Hungrier. Selene pulls his shirt open, buttons scattering. Damien lifts her onto the kitchen counter, lips never leaving hers. "This doesn't change anything," Selene gasps as Damien's mouth trails fire down her neck. "It changes everything," Damien growls against her skin. _________ "You knew you were pregnant and didn't tell me?" "I didn't want to trap you." "You think that's what this is? A trap?" Damien's voice is thunder. "Selene, I would've fought for you. For us. You ran instead, with my fucking baby!!." "Because I was scared," Selene cries. "You terrify me. Because you make me feel things." _________ "I don't have a contract this time," Damien says, holding out a beautiful ring. "No conditions. No time limit. Just you and me. Forever." "Are you still arrogant?" Selene teases, eyes wet. "Always. But only for you." She takes his hand. "Then ask me again." "Marry me, Selene. For real." "Yes," she whispers, and he kisses her.

She gave him her heart before she ever knew he owned the world. Elara Hayes lives for quiet mornings, worn paperbacks, and the safe hum of her tiny bookstore. Love? She's stopped believing in fairytales. Men want ambition, glamour - not a woman with ink-stained hands and secondhand dreams. Then Alexander Wolfe walks into her life. Charming. Thoughtful. Devastatingly handsome. And utterly ordinary...or so she thinks. Their connection is immediate - a crackling current of late-night conversations, stolen glances, and slow, burning touches that leave her breathless. For the first time in forever, Elara dares to open her guarded heart. But Alexander is hiding something. He's not just the sweet man who kisses her like she's his oxygen. He's the ghost billionaire - the reclusive trillionaire whose empire could swallow the world whole. When the truth shatters their small, perfect world, Elara must choose: Walk away from the man who deceived her... Or fight for the love that neither money nor power could ever buy. Because sometimes, the real fortune isn't in the empire he built - it's in the woman who sees the man underneath it all.

Once, Selene was destined to rule the wolves, a princess with the heart of a leader and the strength to carry her pack through any storm. Bound to her mate, Lysander the future seemed perfect, her crown a symbol of power, love, and legacy. But power corrupts, and Lysander-her fated mate-betrayed her in the most brutal way imaginable: he chose his hunger for power over his loyalty to her. Labeled a traitor by her own people and stripped of her title, Selene is forced to surrender her crown. Exiled, abandoned by those she once called family, she is cast out into the wild, a wolf without a pack, a princess without a kingdom. But fate is far from done with Selene. When she stumbles into Rowan, a powerful alpha with eyes that burn with desire and an aura of dominance, she finds herself thrust into a world of danger, passion, and obsession. Rowan is drawn to her in a way that no one has ever been, sensing that Selene is his mate-but there's a catch. Selene already has a mate, and that bond runs deep. She should feel loyalty to Lysander, but the betrayal haunts her, and her heart-though torn-feels something for Rowan, something dark, dangerous, and undeniable. As their connection grows, Selene's enemies close in, determined to crush the last remnants of her power. With Rowan at her side, she prepares to reclaim the kingdom that was stolen from her, but the path is treacherous-and filled with enemies, lies, and blood. Along the way, she must confront her feelings for both Rowan and Lysander, knowing that only one of them can claim her heart-and the other will be lost forever. Rowan, ever loyal, ever obsessive, stands beside her, ready to rip apart anyone who dares stand in her way. His love for her is all-consuming, and he will stop at nothing to see her rise again, to make those who wronged her suffer-and to claim her as his own. In a world where loyalty is fleeting and power is everything, Selene must decide if she can trust again, or if she will continue to walk alone-sword drawn, heart torn, and kingdom at her feet.
