“Do you want to play a game with me?” Ash asked, leaning forward as he caressed my chin.
I raised an eyebrow. “A game?”
“A love game…” He placed his lips on my ear, slightly licking my earlobe. “Whoever falls in love first, loses. If you’re really confident that you won’t fall for someone like me, then play the game with me.” Ash bit my ear, and a pool of hits struck my body. “What can you say, Miss good girl? Are you in?”

Sapphire only wanted peace. She did her best to become a wallflower so no one would notice her. She avoided everyone, especially Ash Cassius Coleman, the son of the owner of the University where she was studying.
She hated Ash, his guts, his frequent make-outs with different girls…And that hatred caught Ash’s interest. Suddenly, the rebel billionaire came into her life, wanting her to fall in love with him.

And that was the reason why he decided to ask her to play a game.
A love game. 
“Do you know how many nights I’ve thought about those? How I imagined sliding your dress up and seeing you in them… in my room, or my office… gagged so you wouldn’t scream my name?”
“Say the word, Renata,” he whispered, voice rough. “And I’ll have you right here… where anyone could knock. Where you could get caught with your husband’s father’s cock inside you.”
She gasped.
But she didn’t say no.
********
One reckless night. A stranger’s touch. Her ruin.
The night before her wedding, Renata surrendered to a man whose name she didn’t know… A man who made her tremble, moan, and beg for more in the shadows.
The next morning, he was at the wedding hall too…Watching her walk down the aisle to his son.
Domingo Serrano.
Powerful. Predatory. Possessive.
And he’s not done with her.
He wants her again. And again.
Once a week. No excuses. No escape.

And Domingo? He’s the darkest of them all.
Now Renata’s playing with fire, and carrying a secret that could burn everyone:
She’s pregnant.
And she doesn’t know if the father is her husband… or his father.

"You know that ice queen from the history department? She's not that hard to pursue after all. All I did was invite her to watch a few games, and she agreed to be with me.

Elena Sinclair thought marriage meant forever.
But five years in, her “forever” has become a gilded cage of pain and betrayal.
She’s the wife who couldn’t give him a child. The barren disappointment. And for that, her husband offered her a cruel compromise… an open marriage. One that gave him the right to find someone who could carry his heir.
The next day, he brought a pregnant woman home. The same woman who was first introduced as his cousin.
The humiliation doesn’t end there, his mother lashes out… hurling insults and even fists, while her husband turns a blind eye. Not once has he defended her. Not once has he shown her love. She’s nothing more than a placeholder… a name on a marriage certificate.
The cruelest part? She loved him. She loved him long before the vows, long before the lies… so deeply it blinded her to who he really was.
Now, to make him jealous, she turns to the one man she should never touch: Jaxx Moretti, her husband’s younger brother. The dangerous one. The black sheep of the Sinclair family. The man who once made her high school years hell… and now has every reason to destroy her husband's legacy.
What starts as a twisted game soon ignites into something raw, addictive, and completely forbidden.
But Jaxx isn’t just her escape. He’s everything her husband isn’t. Because the deeper she sinks into Jaxx's bed… The harder it becomes to crawl back out.

“Wolfless and worthless, that is what you are, Valeria.”
Worthless, stupid, a waste of space, this is what they all called me.

“Let me love you, Valeria.”
“You can’t.”
“Yes, I can and I will. You are mine now. Reject the idea all you want, you have no choice. I will love you.”
“You are the one who rejected me.”
Raphael’s hand gently clamps on my chin, and he moves my face to look at him, into his eyes. “Don’t run from me again.”
He is not even acknowledging what I said.
“You should know better than to run from an Alpha.”
“What. Do you want?”
“I wanted to speak with you, but now…” He pauses and slowly nuzzles his nose near my ear and whispers. “I want you on your knees…taking me all in.”
I am shocked, but the image appears in my head, and my knees weaken. My body does not hate the idea. I want to be angry at this man, but it is hard when I desire him.
I close my eyes and look away, but when I dare look back at him, his eyes are slowly raking down my body.
If I don’t get away from him, this man will own me.
Be bold, Valeria. He broke us.
My hand slowly slides up and connects with his chest. He doesn’t move. I leisurely move my hand up, caressing his chest until I reach his neck. The whole time I do this, he stares into my eyes. Then I slide my hands to his chin and slowly bring him closer.
I whisper to his lips, “You…broke this. You shattered our bond. You don’t get to have me now. Someone else will have that privilege.”
I let him go and gently push him away enough for me to get out of his grasp and walk away. But I can hear him mutter as he watches me, “A mistake I will never make again. I’ll have you. I will win your heart.”
