The craziest thing I’ve ever done was let a dangerous man touch me, and not pull away. “Trust me.” Words like that could mess you up in this line of work. Then he did something I didn’t expect, he stretched out a hand. Even I knew when not to doubt a helping hand. I sighed. Well, roadkill it is then. I clasped his hand and his firm grip pulled me up out of the line of fire. *** Cake Coogan survives by her fists and her fury, spending her life fighting in underground rings to keep herself and her mother alive. But one stolen payout, one stranger’s intervention, and one accidental bag switch drops her into the crosshairs of Nico Vescari. Nico Vescari; mafia heir, feared and ruthless, a man who kills with a steady pulse—wants his money back. What he gets instead is Cake: the girl with the iron fists, mismatched eyes, and a journal he should never have read. Fascinated, furious, and threatened by how she makes him feel, he gives her a choice that isn’t a choice at all—marry him for a year… or lose the only family she has left. Thrust into a world of blood feuds, monsters, and merciless mafia politics, Cake becomes both weapon and wife. She’s pulled between power plays, underground fights, and a man whose touch feels like fire even when she swears she hates him. Nico’s family is dangerous, his enemies worse, and his rules suffocating, but the most lethal thing between them is the feral desire none of them want. As bodies fall and alliances burn, Cake is forced to choose between revenge and the man who has broken her, protected her, and ruined her life in equal measure. In a story of obsession, betrayal, and savage love, only the strongest survive. And Cake Coogan is not prey.

BLACK INDUSTRIES BOOK 1 Damian Black has always had everything—wealth, power, and the world at his feet. But when his father’s will drops a bombshell, the stakes skyrocket. To secure his inheritance, Damian must do the unthinkable: get married. As the eldest of the Black brothers, Damian’s playboy lifestyle is suddenly on the line. He’s determined to find the perfect woman, but none of them have measured up. Enter Adalyn West, Damian’s long-time personal assistant. Efficient, unflappable, and with a sharp wit that has kept Damian in line for years, Adalyn is the last woman he ever expected to consider as a bride. Adalyn’s been by his side for years, handling every detail of his life with quiet efficiency. She’s smart, loyal, and definitely not the type to cause him any trouble. Plus, she knows him better than anyone else. But there’s one problem— Damian has never seen Adalyn as more than just his PA, and the thought of marrying her feels too close for comfort. As Adalyn steps into the role of Damian’s wife, sparks fly in ways neither of them expected. What starts as a convenient arrangement quickly spirals into something far more complicated. Damian’s heart, once locked away, begins to thaw as his new wife shows him a side of herself he never knew existed. But with old flames, business rivals, and the weight of the Black legacy bearing down, Damian must decide if he’s willing to risk everything—including his heart—for the one woman who might just be perfect for him.

Beneath the hustle of the metropolis unfolds the intricate tale of Yunxue Yao and Jiang Lingxiao. Yunxue Yao, a woman who dedicated thirteen years of her youth to a love that bore no fruit, ultimately chose to stand strong and wave goodbye after a profound awakening. She didn't just part with a fruitless relationship but resolutely called off an engagement. Her words scornfully judged her past: "Pathetic men are as common as strays; it's time to let go and move on!" This statement painted not only her stance on that relationship but also declared the beginning of her new life. In the workplace, Yunxue Yao seemed transformed. She shed her former vulnerability, emerging assertive and decisive. With exceptional talent and hard work, she earned the admiration of everyone around her. However, as she embarked on this new chapter of her life, her old love, Jiang Lingxiao, started to pursue her with a near-maddening obsession. Jiang Lingxiao, the man who had once easily set her aside, suddenly became relentless in his attempts to win her back. Each of his appearances came with an almost feverish persistence: "Yao Yao, would you marry me?" His words seemed to carry a magic, penetrating with deep regret and longing. But Yunxue Yao's heart was no longer there, and her answer was laced with sarcasm and disdain: "Mr. Xiao, how have you become the very thing you despise?" The turning point in this relationship arrived when Jiang Lingxiao realized that his hatred for Yunxue Yao paled in comparison to the fear of losing her. He began to soften his stance, gradually lowering his demands: "Yao Yao, I only ask for reconciliation, not marriage." "Yao Yao, I only ask for marriage, not for you to have children." "Yao Yao, let's just have one child; I won’t ask for more..." Yet, each concession seemed to inexorably draw them closer together. And when Yunxue Yao discovered she was carrying their third child, her patience and rationality reached their limits. She confronted Jiang Lingxiao with fury: "Jiang Lingxiao, you despicable man!" Yet he defused her anger with a tender and cunning response: "Yao Yao, the 'little one' is in your belly, and I am your dear." This is a story about love and hate, letting go and holding on. When Yunxue Yao thought she could start anew, how does the shadow of the past return to her life in an unexpected way? Can Jiang Lingxiao’s persistence resolve the misunderstandings and hurt between them? Is Yunxue Yao's independence and strength enough to guide her through this complex emotional journey? The novel delves into the process of personal growth and the complexity of human emotions. It tells us that sometimes, true courage is not just about letting go but also about the persistence that comes after. Readers, prepare to follow Yunxue Yao and Jiang Lingxiao through this whirlwind of emotions.
