Mateo Silva doesn’t believe in falling in love. Raised in foster homes, he’d finally built a family with friends, which he didn’t intend to lose. His only problem was Raya Hansen. She was a friend and employee—so he should know better than to end up in her bed. Unable to resist, Mateo decides he can have the best of both worlds—keep it professional during the day and get the sheets dirty at night. They’ll be together whenever they can, with no commitment, no expectations out of bed, and no one can know. Raya, who has been in love with Mateo for over a decade, decides this is the only way she can have him. However, Raya cannot hold her emotions at bay, especially as Mateo continues to see other women, and it starts to feel like this arrangement is one-sided. When it all becomes too much, Raya not only quits Mateo but also her job. Mateo is disappointed that Raya couldn’t compartmentalize their professional and personal relationships—but he doesn’t stop her from leaving. As the days go by, Mateo finds that he misses Raya, not just in bed but out of it as well. He wants her back, but she’s decided she won’t settle for anything less than big LOVE. Will Mateo get over his damaged childhood and learn to love, and will Raya forgive Mateo for not respecting her love? Publisher's This is a standalone novel with a guaranteed happily-ever-after and no cheating. This is book #2 in the Knight Tech series but it can be ready independently.

I just woke up in the Emergency Room holding my billionaire boss's hand. This morning I passed out at work, and my boss caught me against his chest. I’ve been his personal assistant for two years. Managing his life while mine has been falling apart. I was handing him the morning report when I lost consciousness, and he caught me before my head hit the floor. He carried me to his car and rushed me to the emergency room. When I woke up his hand was gripping mine so tight his knuckles were white. The ER doctor pulled back the curtain, and said, “I'm sorry only family is allowed.” He didn’t even hesitate, just looked the doctor in the eye and growled, “She’s my wife.”

I've spent my entire life engaged to one man. But it's his brother I've always yearned for. Now, four days before our wedding, Xavier has thrown me over—and Benedict has stepped in instead. The spare. The playboy. The heartbreaker whose reputation stretches across the Mediterranean. Benedict de Vere is everything his brother isn't: reckless, restless, and seemingly unbothered that this match is a transaction. He's marrying me to save my reputation. My reasons for wedding him are... more complicated. I'm going to be his duchess. I'm going to share his life. His bed. I should be up to the challenge. After all, they call me the ice queen for a reason. I've had years to perfect my mask. But I've longed for him since I was eighteen years old. And Benedict doesn't do serious. He doesn't do forever. The trail of broken hearts he's left behind is evidence of that. Being one of those broken hearts would be devastating enough. Knowing him that intimately, then being cast aside? Now imagine that happening in our marital bed. It's a loneliness I wouldn't survive. Tropes: 👑 Arranged marriage 👑 Modern duke and duchess 👑 Billionaire 👑 Opposites attract 👑 Reformed playboy MMC 👑 Ice queen FMC 👑 She marries her fiancé's brother

Until he pulls the rug out from under her in the cruelest way possible, decimating her heart in the process.Smith Jenson is ready to put this ill-advised marriage in his rear-view mirror. Write it off as an egregious lapse in judgment. He shouldn't have married her in the first place. They’re too different. She’s too… cold. Distant. Once upon a time, he’d cared enough to want to find out what lay beneath all those layers of control. Now he doubts that he’ll find anything of substance at all.

She can handle a few harsh words from him.Their marriage is over. Doomed from the start. But with so much pain, resentment, and unfinished business still simmering between them, McKenna and Smith are not quite done destroying each other yet.

Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now? Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career. Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story nears its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.

Love.What a pathetic, absurd illusion.A fairy tale spun for weak, useless bastards,Too blind to grasp the world as it truly is.The world is a rotting, godforsaken wastelandWhere only lies and deception thrive.Everyone wears a mask. Everyone hides a blade.There are no saints here.Nothing left but shades of grey.I swore by that claim for years, Until I met her.A single innocent soul in a world drenched in sin.A ray of sunshine in the bottomless black abyss,A delicate flower from whom I must stay as far away as possible.I can't.I am going to steal her light,Even knowing it was never meant for me.
