Marriage First, Love Second

Lyra Vale spent five years building a digital system powerful enough to control financial markets and government infrastructures without leaving a trace. She built it in love, in trust, and in the belief that she was creating a future with the man she loved. She was wrong. Her ex-fiancé didn’t just betray her—he destroyed her. He stole her work, claimed her brilliance as his own, and shattered her heart in the cruelest way possible. With the help of her step-sister and best friend, he stripped her of everything: her identity, her power, and even the child she believed she had lost forever. Cast out of the empire she created, Lyra is left with nothing but rage, betrayal, and a burning need for revenge. So she turns to the one man her ex fears most...Xavier Thorne. A billionaire who sees through lies and destroys men like Elias for sport. Xavier knows betrayal all too well. Years ago, someone he trusted like family stabbed him in the back, leaving scars no amount of wealth could erase. Since then, he has built his empire on control, power, and emotional detachment. Lyra offers him something irresistible: the key to bringing his greatest rival to his knees. What begins as a strategic alliance quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Their shared hunger for revenge pulls them closer, blurring the lines between hatred and desire. But everything shatters when Lyra discovers the truth. Her daughter..the child she had given up ...is alive and living under Xavier’s roof… as his daughter. Now, revenge is no longer just personal, it’s devastating. Love has a price. Revenge has a cost and some betrayals demand blood.

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?
