Life molds one as a person and also offers chances to change. Can darkness truly be conquered with light? Or will light be overshadowed? Can love save and bring change? Can love melt an ice cold heart? Can love truly conquer all? ***** Meet Alena Flameheart, an enthusiastic, sometimes nervous but up to taking things in her own hands. She never frets over hard work. Meet Kai Rumaro, the young master of The Rumaro family. He can have anything he wants but the price must be paid. ------------ "I know who you are," she declared looking straight into his eyes, not even a single sign of wavering could be found from her. "You'll tell me what I am? Who do you think you are Miss Alena Flameheart?" he sneered, crossing his arms across his chest. "I may be nobody to you, but I certainly know you're not who you pretend to be. You're a fake!" she declared on his face, fearlessly. The surprise was evident on his face, a grimace forming as his facial features changed. "H-how dare you!" he yelled stammering on his words as if she knew some deep secret of his. As if he was exposed. She smiled gently, "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me" Read on to find out! ---------- Author's note: The cover image is not owned by me, credits to the original artist who made this.

Claimed by the Vengeful Alpha

Love. Hate. Revenge. Before she was the High Alpha's daughter, Maya was an orphan named Penelope—and Marcus Keenan was the boy who gave her his locket and promised to marry her... until she was torn from him. Taken by High Alpha Vilhelm, everyone, including Marcus, was told she died. Years later, Marcus returns from the recent war a hero—now Alpha Keenan—with power, lands, and the right to choose any woman as his mate. He takes Maya—the same girl who made his life miserable before he left. He doesn't recognize her as Penelope with the locket long gone. To him, she is cruel, two-faced, and an expert at manipulation. What he doesn't know is that Maya's cruelty was forced, a mask she wore to both protect him and survive. Now trapped in a marriage born of revenge, she must decide. Stay silent and play the part, or reveal who she truly is…before it’s too late. —— Excerpt “This marriage is fake,” Maya said. She should be happy but why did it hurt so much? “Fake?” Keenan frowned and closed the gap between them. He wrapped a palm around her neck, and Maya gasped but no sound left her throat. “Is this another ploy to escape me?” “Isn’t it fake?” Maya whispered, holding his hand, trying to ease his grip. It was getting hard to breathe. Her voice betrayed her, too hopeful even to her own ears. He stared with such hatred, yet a part of her didn’t want it to be fake. Keenan threw his head back and laughed, yet his grip on her neck never wavered. “Woman, surely this must be a joke. You think I would orchestrate a fake marriage with you?” He leaned closer, eyes locked on hers. “You undermine my hatred. I want you bound to me forever. I want you to hate every moment of your life and I will be right here to make sure of it. You can never escape me.” Keenan released her neck. She dropped to the floor, rubbing her throat as she finally drew a full breath. “Fake marriage? Don’t be ridiculous. Even your father couldn’t get you away from me.”

LOVE BEHIND THE CONTRACT

Shirley Evans never imagined that one reckless night would turn her ordinary life into the city’s favorite headline. Independent, hardworking, and determined to stay far away from the glittering world of the wealthy, Shelly wakes up in the bed of Darrell Duane—the arrogant billionaire CEO of the Duane Group and the sole heir to one of the most influential business empires in the country. What should have remained a forgotten mistake quickly spirals into a media frenzy when paparazzi capture the scandal, threatening both Darrell’s carefully guarded reputation and Shelly’s peaceful life. To silence the rumors and protect the Duane family’s image, Darrell proposes an outrageous solution: a fake engagement. For Shelly, agreeing means stepping into a world of luxury, ruthless business politics, relentless media attention, and a man whose cold arrogance is matched only by his irresistible charm. For Darrell, it’s nothing more than another calculated business arrangement—one with clear rules, no emotions, and a definite end. But as they continue to play the roles of the perfect couple, the line between pretense and reality begins to blur. Hidden wounds are exposed, dangerous secrets come to light, and hearts that were never meant to fall become impossible to ignore. What began as a scandal to protect a billionaire’s reputation may become the greatest love story either of them ever expected—or the biggest mistake of their lives.

Book One — I Am Not Sarah — The Wrong Name

She had no voice. He had no mercy. And neither of them knew the truth that was going to destroy everything. She is mute. She is trapped. And she is living inside a dead woman's life. Elena Brenette is twenty one years old and in love with a man who was never truly hers. On the night of her wedding she discovers the devastating truth — her fiancé and her own sister have been in love all along. She was never the girl he chose. She was simply convenient. Betrayed and broken, Elena drives into a storm soaked night in her wedding dress. She never arrives anywhere. On that same road two other women are running from their own disasters. Sarah Venzagrase — twenty one, pregnant, covered in blood — is fleeing a husband whose people have been sent to kill her. Phiona — also twenty one, bearing the exact same face — is on that road for reasons nobody yet understands. Three women. One face. One blood. One catastrophic collision. When the wreckage clears Phiona is dead — her body mistakenly identified as Elena Brenette. The world believes Elena is gone. Sarah vanishes into the darkness with her unborn child. And Elena — unconscious, still in her wedding dress — is pulled from the flames by the most dangerous man she will ever meet. Lucas Venzagrase. He calls her Sarah. She cannot tell him otherwise. Elena wakes up inside the wrong life. Trapped behind the iron walls of the Venzagrase estate — the most powerful family in the state — she faces a husband who despises her, a family that wants her gone, and a household that has already decided who she is. She cannot speak. She cannot explain. She cannot say the three words that would change everything. I am not Sarah. Every attempt to communicate the truth is read as guilt and madness. The more she fights the deeper she sinks. She is a prisoner without chains — held captive by a name, a face, and a silence no one bothers to understand. But Elena Brenette did not survive a collision that killed one woman and swallowed another just to disappear quietly inside someone else's story. She will find a way. Even if she has to do it without a single word. What no one knows yet — not Elena, not Sarah, not even the man hunting for answers — is that the three women on that road were not strangers. They were triplets. Separated by a broken past. Reunited by a catastrophe. And someone powerful made sure they never found each other. That someone is still watching.
