R18+ | Billionaire | Stripper | Contract Marriage. Evelyn Evans was celebrating her 18th birthday when the call came. A plane crash. Her parents,gone in seconds, though their bodies remained breathing. Comas,hospitals,bills stacked like curses. The party ended before the cake was cut,and her life,as she knew it, shattered. Now twenty one,Evelyn no longer lives in daylight. She becomes Rose,the masked goddess of Club Dusk,where billionaires throw cash and sanity to watch her dance. She’s faceless,untouchable,a fantasy they crave but can’t own. Until Jace Montez;a brutally cold billionaire with words sharp as razors,walks in,dragged to the club by friends who hate him more than they admit. He doesn’t come for pleasure,he doesn’t stay for the show,but one man does. And that man pays a dangerous price to have Rose delivered to his hotel room...against her will. Jace found her struggling,though already drugged but she still cried for help. She was terrified,barely conscious. He took her to safety,but safety comes with a price. The next morning,she's caught in Jace's penthouse by his high society parents,the he scandal brews. The Montez family threatens to force him into marrying a cruel heiress. His solution? A fake marriage to the masked girl he just saved. One year,one contract,one rule;no falling in love. *** Excerpt “I don’t need a wife.” Jace said flatly,tossing a sleek black folder onto the table between them. Evelyn didn’t flinch. “Then why am I here?” she asked,her voice low,almost bored. He leaned back in his leather chair. The city glowed behind him through the floor to ceiling glass like the world bent for him. “Because my parents believe they saw something scandalous. And they’ll ruin both of us if I don’t give them a name.” “So give them mine?” she challenged. His eyes narrowed. “Not your fake one.” She blinked,then looked down at the contract. One year. No intimacy required,full confidentiality,divorce by next winter. “This is a joke.” she whispered. He shrugged. “You need money,I need silence. We both get what we want.” There was a cruel efficiency to him,like he was born with ice in his veins. But he didn’t know her. Didn’t know the bills stacked under her mattress. The nights she counted coins to feed her sister in her dreams. Didn’t know what it meant to dance half naked in front of men who didn’t see a girl but a product. She picked up the pen,paused. “If I sign this.”she said.“I don’t become yours,not really.” Jace met her stare.“You never will be.” And that...for some reason...hurt. --- The moment her body hit the stage,silence blanketed the room. A red mask,a slit rose gold gown that shimmered like temptation itself. Every man leaned forward,every woman clenched their jaw. But Jace didn’t blink,something in his chest cracked,something old,something stupid. Her movements were hypnotic. Every sway,every dip,every snap of her waist matched the music like she was the rhythm. And then,her head turned,she looked straight at him. No...through him. “Who is she?”People whispered behind him. Jace stared coldly at her,no one may know her identity,but he sure damn knows. Before her dance finished,he left in anger,Evelyn noticed and went after him immediately,not minding the consequences. Down back halls,past marble columns,into velvet lined corridors meant for secrets. “Wait.”Her voice shuttered. He stopped. Slowly,she walked to him,in caution. "Why are you here?"His voice was so icy. “For my freedom.”She whispered,voice wrapped in silk. He just smirked and walked away. "I came for you."She suddenly screamed. *** Evelyn isn’t playing house,and Jace doesn’t do hearts. But why's there a feeling that this fire?Why does he look at her like he’s trying to unmask her soul? And when her boss,the same man who tried to sell her refuses to let go of his biggest moneymaker,Evelyn realizes something chilling;she may be Jace’s wife on paper,but she’s still being hunted in the shadows.

CONTENT WARNING: /This novel contains mature themes, explicit sexual content, strong language, and adult situations. Reader discretion is advised./ Lydia Andreyevna thought the stories were exaggerated. They said the Grand Duke of Zolotaria was a monster. That he wore a mask to hide the face of a killer. That he bathed in blood and showed no mercy. But when she saw Ivan Romanov slit a man’s throat and smile at the corpse like it was art, she knew—she had married the devil. After losing her parents, Lydia was left to suffer under her uncle, Lord Alexander, who stole everything she had. Desperate to escape a forced marriage to a count old enough to be her grandfather, she begged Queen Olga for help. The queen agreed—but at a price. Now, Lydia belongs to a man feared by all. A man whose name alone makes others tremble. A man who doesn’t flinch at death… because he’s lived too close to it for far too long. And behind his mask, no one knows what he's truly thinking. Not even his wife. ___________________________________ Just a Heads-Up: The spicy stuff doesn't happen right away. It begins from chapter 28.

Lydia straddled him, her nightgown barely hanging on, the heat between them impossible to ignore. She couldn’t stop herself. Her fingers traced his scars, feeling the rough, jagged lines of his past. Her touch was light, exploring, and the more she traced, the more she wanted. Her lips found one of the deeper scars across his stomach, and without thinking, she kissed it. The moment her lips touched his skin, Ivan’s body tensed, his breath catching. Lydia kissed the scar again, soft at first, but the hunger in her grew. She moved lower, her lips following the lines of his body, tasting him, feeling the heat of him. His hands slid up her legs, slow and deliberate. The heat in his touch made her gasp. His fingers moved higher, slipping under the edge of her nightgown, his hand brushing the soft skin of her thighs. She shivered when his hand moved closer, touching the fabric of her underwear, his fingers brushing against her, feeling the warmth of her. Her body went rigid, her breath coming faster. She wanted him to touch more, deeper, and he knew it. Ivan didn’t wait. His hand moved between her legs, finding her soaked, trembling with need. He didn’t give her time to think, his fingers sliding inside her without hesitation. Lydia gasped, her body arching toward him as his fingers moved inside her, rough and relentless. She couldn’t hold back the moan that escaped her lips. She wanted more, needed more, but he was in control now. Her hands scrambled to pull at his chest, her nails digging into his skin, but Ivan didn’t let up. His grip on her tightened, holding her in place, his fingers pushing deeper, making her cry out...

Ava Summers is the perfect daughter — business mogul, top of her class, future queen of spreadsheets, and the only Summers twin with functioning brain cells. She's survived nineteen years sharing a womb, a mansion, and half of her DNA with Eva Summers — the human embodiment of bad decisions who once tried to roast marshmallows on scented candles and nearly set the entire estate on fire. So when their parents arranged one of them to marry Zeke Ford — the kingdom's most notorious heartbreaker — Ava took one for the team. She didn't flinch. She didn't panic. She blinked once... probably because she was three glasses of margaritas deep after Eva spiked her drink and slid a suspicious contract under her nose — a contract that would transfer all of Ava's businesses and birthright to Eva if she refused to marry Zeke. It was the first plan Eva ever pulled off successfully — and she regretted it the moment the Fords switched the grooms at the last minute. Instead of waking up legally bound to Zeke — the charming, half-witted flirt who collects women like decorative throw pillows — Ava finds herself married to Zach Ford — the cold, brooding, emotionally constipated twin brother who hasn't smiled since the dinosaurs went extinct. The Ford family hoped Eva's lively personality would drag Zach out of his miserable cave of grief and bad attitude after his fiancée's death. Too bad they accidentally married him to the kingdom's most neurotic control freak instead. Now Ava has a whole lifetime to survive a forced marriage to a man who communicates in glances, grunts, and the occasional eyebrow twitch, convince everyone she's madly in love with her new husband... And figure out how to legally murder her sister without ruining the family name. The plan was supposed to save the Summers' reputation. Not burn the whole kingdom to the ground. "With This Ring, I Loathe You—Yes, I do." A laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers rom-com about one grumpy recluse, one reluctant perfectionist, and one contractual catastrophe that will either end in true love... Or arson with tax deductions.

When they first met, the man in the wheelchair was as dignified and cold as rumored. Just because she approached him slightly, he grabbed her neck, nearly choking her to death. 'A woman marrying into the Fu family must rely on herself to survive, understand?' She nodded frantically, thinking that carefully pleasing him would allow them to live respectfully and peacefully like guests for a lifetime. Yet in the nights and days of accompanying him, she was thoroughly consumed, step by step falling into the trap he had long set. In this life, there is no escape; in this love, it moves the heart.

All she knew was that the so-called divorced man was a returned overseas research talent, busy with work, with a high salary and good looks, and was hardly ever at home. In these times, where food and clothing were scarce and communication was done by shouting, marrying him was nothing but good news to her, who just wanted to live the life of a salted fish. Kang's Mother: ...my daughter's gone silly! Brothers (sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces): ...our sister (young auntie) has gone mad! However, apart from the head of the household, Captain Kang, the rest of the family were all sweating on Kang Li's behalf, worried that the delicate and frail treasure of the house (sister, young aunt) wouldn't be able to handle the grievances of being a stepmother and might hurt herself from the stress. The villagers who knew about the Kang family's situation gathered together, spewing sour words and gossiping, especially those who bore no good will and were just waiting to see the Kang family's downfall. Yet, Kang Li's life after marriage was not only blissful, but her husband doted on her, her stepchildren adored her, calling her mom the moment they opened their mouths. They clung to her like people possessed, and the wife (stepmother) had them following her every step.
