After twenty-six years of marriage, Sarah Mitchell thought she knew exactly how the rest of her life would look. She was wrong. When her husband walks away for what he calls true love, Sarah loses more than a marriage. She loses the future she spent decades building.

Then she meets Daniel Brooks—a widowed former firefighter who sees her in a way no one has for years. As Sarah learns to build a life of her own, the man who left her begins to realize the truth: Some mistakes cost far more than you ever imagined. And sometimes the woman you took for granted is the one you'll never get back.

Now, she must choose her fate—goddess, ruler, or the mate of the most dangerous Alpha alive.

Ghost survived black sites, torture, overseas wars, and six years of becoming something less human and more useful. Founder of BLACK VEIL. Mercenary captain. A ghost story in tactical gear. The kind of man people called when they needed a building cleared, a body retrieved, or a problem buried so deep it stopped having a name. He was silent, brutal, untouchable. Even his own men feared him. As for someone like that— Nyra Quinn, underground mechanic and illegal street racer, had one very professional opinion: “He looks like he buries people in wet cement for stress relief.” Then one day, Ghost watched her steal a motorcycle outside a bank and chase down a robber through downtown LA traffic like she’s starring in her own action movie. He’s in the middle of a sniper assignment when it happened. One second he’s calculating wind direction. The next? Nyra tackled the guy off a bike, draged him into an alley, and started beating him with her helmet... He forgot his target existed for six seconds. For the first time in eight years. ... Later, Nyra worked under the hood of BLACK VEIL’s armored SUV while six armed mercenaries stood around like emotionally constipated furniture. She didn’t look up. > “Does your boss come with a user manual, or is the mask supposed to explain the whole personality disorder?” The garage went silent. Because no one talked about Ghost. Not like that. Not in front of him. Ghost stood beside the vehicle, skull mask turned toward her. After a long pause, he said, > “Nyra.” She rolled out from under the engine with a wrench in her hand. > “What?” His grey eyes lowered to the grease on her cheek. Then to her mouth. Then back to her eyes. > “Come here.” Nyra narrowed her eyes. > “If this is a murder thing, I’m charging extra.” Ghost’s voice dropped lower. Rougher. > “I lost focus on a job today.” Nyra blinked. > “Congratulations on having a human experience?” His men stopped breathing. Ghost didn’t move. > “Because of you.” Nyra stared at him. The wrench slipped slightly in her hand. Across the garage, Kane muttered, > “We’re all completely fucked.” ① Emotionally repressed masked mercenary captain × sunshine chaos mechanic ② He kills people for touching him. She touches his mask and asks if he’s hiding scars or feelings under there. ③ Slow burn / touch-starved antihero / found family mercenaries / black humor / “she makes the monster hesitate.”

She built an empire. He was just a dad with a toy plane. Neither expected their lives to collide at 30,000 feet… When exhausted tech CEO Evelyn Harrington accidentally falls asleep on a stranger’s shoulder mid-flight, she braces for humiliation. Instead, she finds kindness—and a connection that will take her from a boardroom in L.A. to a hospital bedside in Chicago. Nathan, a single father racing to a job interview, hides a quiet fear: his little boy’s fever has spiked, and he’s not there. Evelyn has no reason to care… until she does. A small act of compassion leads to a choice that will change three lives forever.

When a billionaire inventor is abandoned by her attorney moments before a life-changing trial, the last person anyone expects to save her stands up from the back of the courtroom—a quiet courthouse janitor with a forgotten past as a brilliant lawyer. As corporate greed collides with truth, one man must decide whether to stay invisible or fight for justice one last time.

Owen Mercer knows how his marriage is supposed to end. His wife will choose another man. His daughter will be taught to call someone else Daddy. And he will die before the bride finishes making her promises. He knows because he has read the book. For five years, Owen has lived inside a novel as Julian Ashford, the husband whose death is supposed to teach Vivian Wren what she has lost. He thought knowing the ending would help him change it. Instead, every attempt to save their marriage has brought him closer to the last page. Now Vivian wants her former husband to stand beside her new groom. Owen has a different plan. As he stops playing the part written for him, entire passages begin to disappear. Somewhere inside those empty pages may be a way home. But walking out of a marriage is one thing. Walking out of the story that created it is another.

James, a widowed single dad barely holding it together, made a quiet joke at his CEO's birthday party: “Maybe I should just marry her and solve all my problems.” He never expected Katherine Morrison—brilliant, intimidating, untouchable—to hear it. Even more shocking? She replied, “What if I say yes?”

Evelyn Cross has spent years keeping the Russo estate spotless, silent, and free of questions. As the household’s executive housekeeper—and a former Army medic—she knows how to recognize danger before anyone else sees it. That instinct saves Dominic Russo’s life on his wedding day. Seconds before New York’s most feared mafia boss drinks his champagne, Evelyn knocks the glass from his hand and publicly accuses his elegant bride, Celeste Ward, of trying to poison him. When a silver spoon darkens in the spilled wine, Dominic seals the ballroom and orders every guest searched. But the poisoned glass is only the beginning.

For two years, I visited my son’s grave alone. Then I found a little girl there, clutching a worn teddy bear and waiting for a promise he could no longer keep. Her name was Piper. She said Wyatt had saved her life—and promised to ask me to bring her home. I had never heard of her. But the photograph she left behind was real. So was my son’s handwriting on the back: “Dad, this is my sister.” Finding out who she was meant reopening everything I had buried with him. My failed marriage. His final morning. The questions I had been too broken to ask. Then Piper showed me a note claiming his death wasn’t an accident. Someone had kept this child hidden. Someone wanted the truth to stay buried. And I had already promised her I would come back.

Then Cassie Doyle, a tired, beautiful, plus-size waitress, brings him a towel. “You didn’t deserve that.” She expects nothing in return. But when Adrian tries to help her, he discovers that kindness is easier to accept than trust—and that her family’s past is connected to the company he owns. Winning Cassie means more than revealing his wealth. It means answering questions his power has always allowed him to avoid.
