After Death

They say wine gets better with age. And being the assistant to the most powerful CEO in the country is far from easy… but I love it. Andrew Tanner is a good man, someone I deeply respect, and I’ve always kept things professional—no matter how dangerous it is to admit that he’s also incredibly attractive. He’s much older than me, and I know my place. Or at least, I thought I did… until a private email lands in my hands by mistake, changing everything. After nearly twelve years at the top of the company, Andrew never imagined that his greatest temptation wouldn’t be a billion-dollar deal, but his assistant—young, brilliant, and far too close. When someone from his past resurfaces with a dangerous blackmail, threatening to destroy everything he’s built, Johari becomes his strongest support… and his greatest weakness. A relationship between them is taboo. Forbidden. Andrew is nearly forty-five. Johari is twenty-eight. He’s her boss. She knows it. They both feel the attraction. Can they keep their feelings a secret… or will desire expose them both? **** ©Work registered with Safe Creative.

Astrid waited for Joshua all night as she usually did... And the first thing she received, instead of a cold greeting, was the divorce papers. “Why?” were her only words when she saw the agreement. Joshua looked at her indifferently. “It's enough. It's a waste of time to continue this marriage. In the first place, if it weren't for my grandfather, I wouldn't have married you... Sign it!” he shouted. Astrid, her eyes filled with tears, hurriedly took the divorce agreement and put it in her mouth. “I don't want a divorce!” Astrid cried. Joshua didn't respond, he just looked at her and walked away. After all, it was difficult to get into the heart of someone like Joshua. She stood firm in her decision. She had married to take care of her mother's health... Until she lost her too, leaving her with nothing left to hold on to. “He doesn't feel anything for me,” she said, wiping her teary eyes. “In the future, I will never appear in front of him again.” She took her luggage and, accompanied by a heavy snowfall, disappeared along with her footprints in the snow. She left behind only her signature on the divorce agreement. With a trembling body, she escaped. Five years later, a little boy reminded her of the person she tried to forget.

August Montgomery was a powerful, untouchable CEO. Cold, ruthless, and impossible to read. After being betrayed by the only woman he ever trusted, he built walls around his heart and refuses to let anyone get close. With a dangerously handsome face and piercing green eyes that can freeze a room in seconds, he runs his empire with an iron fist and a wounded soul. Eloise Beaumont was beautiful, bold, and armed with a razor-sharp tongue. Left at the altar by the fiancé who ran off with her own cousin, she accepted a job as a secretary without realizing she was about to work for the most feared man in the company. She didn't bow. He couldn't resist. Between sharp banter, power games, forbidden desire, and nights thick with tension, two hearts scarred by the past begin to discover that love might be the most dangerous game of all. Especially when pride and pleasure collide.

A loud moan escaped my throat as Alessandro slams me against the wall, his hard body pinning me tightly. “Keep fighting, baby,” he growls in a low voice, while sliding his hand under my dress. His Fingers find me soaked, plunging them deep and curling until my hips buck and I cry out. “Your body already knows you’re mine.” “Say it, mia cara. Say you’re mine.” Elara Voss is her family’s dirty little secret, the hidden daughter their dad loved in silence, while her sisters burned her with hate. To bury the shame and seal a massive deal, they force her to marry Alessandro Russo, Vegas’s deadliest mafia don. Her sisters were promised to perfect men. While She got handed over to a monster. But he didn’t just take, he became addicted to her. She became the only one who could calm the rage in him. Only she drives him wild, fantasizing about her mouth on him, swallowing every drop as she trembles and begs drives it to the edge. After he learns how cruelly she was treated by her family, the cold rejections and all of the hidden pain, his obsession turns lethal. “I own you,” he said in a raspy voice one night, his fist in my hair, yanking my head back to meet his burning eyes. “Every breath and every cry, if anyone should as much think of Hurting you again, I’ll make you watch while I tear them apart, piece by piece. Any man who gets close to you, dies screaming.” She then later uncovers his darkest secret, the bloody truth he buried deep underneath. Will it shatter them… or chain her to him forever?
