The Defiant Mate

Vanessa Hart hated her boss and job. But she was drowning in debt, and the salary she earned as the assistant to the president of Sterling Group was too good to walk away from. After a single incident turns her life upside down, Vanessa finally quit, never imagining that she'd soon be bound to the very man she claimed to despise. Adrian Sterling was powerful, magnetic… and dangerously unpredictable. Beneath his control lay a man driven by strange obsessions and a darkness he kept carefully hidden. When he offered Vanessa a contract marriage in exchange for a life-changing sum of money, she saw it as her only path to freedom. But what she didn't know… was that stepping into his world meant facing a temptation far darker than she had ever imagined. One that would pull her straight into the center of his most dangerous desires… and her own.

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?

She was running away from pain. He was enjoying his bachelor party. An accident. One night. And a love that will change everything.

In a last-ditch effort to save the relationship, she decides to surprise him. But she is the one who receives the final blow. After catching her husband in the arms of his secretary, she wanders aimlessly through the streets, drowns herself in drink, and, in the rainy weather, runs over a homeless man.

"I have sold myself to my boss to pay off a debt. I must be his wife and follow his rules under contract. A secret love since I met him, my husband has a cold and hard heart. Could there be a good heart hidden behind that façade?

"I want to hear it from you. I want to watch you look me in the eye and tell me they aren't mine… without looking away even once." I swallowed hard, because the game he was playing was cruel. I knew that the slightest flicker in my expression would feed his suspicions. I lifted my chin, met his gaze without blinking, and spoke slowly, "They. Are. Not. Yours." The muscle in Damian's jaw tightened, and his breath brushed my face, warm and steady. "You've gotten better at this, Harper," he murmured, using my last name like a provocation. "But you're still not that good." "Or maybe you're just hearing what you want to hear," I shot back, fighting the suffocating closeness. "You hate losing. But sometimes, losing is inevitable. Accept it and get out of my life." Stella was desperate. After dropping out of college to pay off the debts her father left behind, all she wanted was a fresh start, even if that meant forging a résumé and swallowing her pride to land a job as the secretary to the ruthless CEO Damian Winter. What she didn't expect was that her new boss would be as irresistible as he was dangerous. Or that a series of sharp provocations and intense encounters would lead to an indecent contract. A secret agreement ruled by power and desire, in which Stella committed to satisfying Damian's every whim, with one single condition: she could never get pregnant. But what would happen when Stella discovered she had broken that rule? Now pregnant and emotionally shattered, Stella learned from the news on TV that Damian was engaged to a wealthy heiress. Hiding the truth seemed like her only option. But secrets would never stay buried forever.
