The Billionaire's Second Chance..
Romance Ivy Carter expected her birthday to be a memorable one, and it was but not in a good way. It was in a way she never expected it to be.
Standing at 5'4" with a warm smile that hid her inner battles, Ivy had always believed in the kindness of people, especially her boyfriend, Nathan Harper. However, on what supposed to be her day, Ivy's reality shattered when Nathan proposed to her best friend in front of all their loved ones and family.
Shocked, humiliated, and feeling betrayed, Ivy left the celebration with a destination in mind, wandering into the cold night.
The storm outside matched the one raging within her. She stumbled into a luxurious club she couldn't afford, drowning her sorrow in drink after drink. As the night descended into chaos, Ivy attracted the attention of Alexander Steele, a self made billionaire with piercing blue eyes and a reputation for being ruthless.
Alexander wasn't at the club for enjoyment; he was there to escape the pain of losing his wife, a hurt that wealth couldn't mend. What started as a mere conversation between two shattered souls unfolded into a night of passion neither had expected or could remember clearly.
Months later, Ivy is confronted with the consequences of that night: an unexpected pregnancy. Alone, jobless, and desperate for money to care for her son, Ivy takes a housekeeping job in the mansion of none other than Alexander Steele.
At first, they couldn't recognise each other, but the tension between them is immediate, Alexander, hardened by sorrow and mistrust, treats Ivy harshly, unwilling to let anyone breach the walls he's built around his heart. Ivy, despite her weakness, stands firm, determined to do what is right by her child even amidst his harshness.
As Ivy's infant son begins to grow, Alexander starts to notice something unsettling: the boy's features bears a striking resemblance to his own. Jokes from the neighborhood about the child striking resemblance, being his son only increased his doubts, but his pride and emotional barriers prevented him from pursuing the truth.
Meanwhile, Ivy navigates life in the mansion, coping not only with Alexander's mood shifts but also with the scheming of Margaret Steele, the sister of Alexander's late wife, who sees Ivy as a threat to the Steele legacy.
Just when Ivy thinks things couldn't get worse, Alexander's health begins to deteriorate. Diagnosed with a life-threatening kidney condition, he has mere weeks to find a donor. In desperation, Alexander's son and his team launch a public appeal, searching for anyone willing to save him.
Unbeknownst to Alexander, Ivy discovers she is a perfect match. Despite how he has treated her, Ivy decides to endanger her life to save his.
Her generosity shocks Alexander, compelling him to face the bitterness and frustration that have consumed him since his wife's death. As he heals, Alexander starts to view Ivy not as an outsider but as someone who could aid in his recovery.
Yet, their delicate bond is challenged when Margaret's plans intensify, and Nathan returns, threatening to reveal Ivy's history and claim custody of her son. In the midst of the chaos, Alexander takes control, ordering a DNA test that verifies his deepening suspicions: Ivy's son is his.

"Take off your dress, Meadow."
"Why?"
"Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost."
••••*••••*••••*
Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance.
One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring.
Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel.
He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch.
Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed.
She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge.
But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming.
Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything.
Alaric doesn't share what's his.
Not his company.
Not his wife.
And definitely not his vengeance.
The 100-Point Divorce Plan
Gavin For three years, I documented the slow death of my marriage in a black journal. It was my 100-point divorce plan: for every time my husband, Blake, chose his first love, Ariana, over me, I deducted points. When the score hit zero, I would leave.
The final points vanished the night he left me bleeding out from a car crash. I was eight weeks pregnant with the child we had prayed for.
In the ER, the nurses frantically called him-the star surgeon of the very hospital I was dying in.
"Dr. Santos, we have a Jane Doe, O-negative, bleeding out. She's pregnant, and we're about to lose them both. We need you to authorize an emergency blood transfer."
His voice came over the speaker, cold and impatient.
"I can't. My priority is Miss Whitfield. Do what you can for the patient, but I can't divert anything right now."
He hung up. He condemned his own child to death to ensure his ex-girlfriend had resources on standby after a minor procedure. Begin Again
Val Sims Eden McBride spent her whole life colouring within the lines. But when her fiancé dumps her one month before their wedding, Eden is done following the rules. A hot rebound is just what the doctor recommends for her broken heart. No, not really. But it's what Eden needs. Liam Anderson, the heir to the biggest logistics company in Rock Union, is the perfect rebound guy. Dubbed the Three Months Prince by the tabloids because he's never with the same girl longer than three months, Liam's had his fair share of one night stands and doesn't expect Eden to be anything more than a hookup. When he wakes up and finds her gone along with his favourite denim shirt, Liam is irritated, but oddly intrigued. No woman has ever left his bed willingly or stole from him. Eden has done both. He needs to find her and make her account. But in a city with more than five million people, finding one person is as impossible as winning the lottery, until fate brings them together again two years later. Eden is no longer the naive girl she was when she jumped into Liam's bed; she now has a secret to protect at all costs. Liam is determined to get everything Eden stole from him, and it's not just his shirt.

Gavin My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend.
From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down."
That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny.
But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded.
I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said."
Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off."
My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers.
I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal.
Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing.
