For five years, Clara Vance was the secret genius behind Julian Thorne's culinary empire, and the hidden woman in his bed. He promised her forever, only to announce his engagement to a wealthy heiress. When a disaster strikes and Julian leaves Clara trapped to save his new bride, her love turns to ash. Everyone thinks the orphan chef is ruined. But they don't know she just accepted a marriage proposal from Victor Sterling—the ruthless hotel tycoon who holds Julian's entire legacy in his hands.

For eight years, I raised Ivy, the traumatized orphan my Alpha husband brought home. I loved her as the child my barren body couldn't give him. But as her nineteenth birthday nears, Darius's perfect rescue story shatters. A familiar pearl choker. His engraved watch hidden by her bed. When Ivy's 'medication' wears off, revealing her true wolf scent, the horrifying truth emerges: she is the product of his darkest betrayal with my murdered sister. They think I'm a weak, oblivious wife. But they forgot I hold the true Alpha bloodline, and my revenge will be absolute.

I thought Julian was my savior. After a terrifying encounter at an underground gala left me branded by a ruthless crime lord, Julian whisked me away to safety. But as we lay tangled in his penthouse sheets, the doors blew open. The crime lord walked in—and my 'savior' immediately dropped to his knees. I'm not a rescue mission. I'm a gift. Now, I'm trapped between a brutal master and his devoted pet, forced into a dark, twisted game where every limit I have will be violently shattered.

Three years ago, Vivienne Croft’s fiancé vanished in a plane crash on the eve of their wedding. She buried her grief and forged their failing company into a billion-dollar empire. But today, Arthur is back—alive, entitled, and holding the hand of his new, pregnant wife. He expects his CEO seat and his compliant fiancée back. Instead, Vivienne strips his security clearance, demotes him to a cubicle, and announces her marriage to his most ruthless rival, Julian Vance. The empire is hers.

To prevent the tragic fall of her country, Princess Evelyn of Anyang is forced into a political marriage with Arthur, the ruthless, iron-fisted general of the rival Great Da empire. Renowned for her breathtaking beauty and legendary frailness—coughing thrice every three steps and forever bound to medicine jars—Evelyn is widely believed to be a sacrificial lamb walking straight into a tiger's den. Everyone expects her to perish quickly under the brutal general's thumb. Yet, against all odds, the sickly princess not only blossoms under his care, recovering her health, but eventually astounds the court with a rounded belly, glowing like a pampered peony. Arthur, the most formidable commander in Da, feared even by the emperor, finds himself utterly powerless against his sharp-tongued, delicate bride. Unable to win in a war of words against her frail yet fiercely witty wife, the powerful general must resort to a different battlefield: pampering her beyond measure.

While my husband ignored my frantic calls to sip champagne with his mistress, someone was driving my father and son off a cliff. Julian claimed his phone died during a crucial merger. He played the grieving widow perfectly for the cameras. But when I found the cut brakes, the altered life insurance, and the offshore transfers, my tears dried. He thought he broke me. He doesn't realize that a woman with nothing left to lose is the most dangerous creature alive. Let the games begin.
