If You Don't Want Me, I Won't Stay

She died in her world. She woke up inside a story. And this time, she's rewriting the ending.

Valeria was a quiet, sharp-minded stock analyst who kept the world at arm's length. She wrote stories in secret, loved coffee more than people, and had just kicked out a cheating boyfriend without shedding a single tear. Life was orderly. Predictable. Safe.

Then a freak electrical accident killed her.

She wakes up as Valery Johnson — the tragic heroine of an audiobook she'd been listening to the moment she died. An orphan taken in by the wealthy Field family. A girl who spent her entire life hopelessly in love with her adoptive brother Eric — a man who never saw her as anything more than a duty to protect.

But Valeria isn't Valery.

She has no intention of pining for a man who doesn't love her. No interest in competing with his cruel fiancee. No desire to play the role of the quiet, suffering girl the story demands.

So she does what the original Valery never could.

She leaves.

With nothing but a small inheritance and a sharp mind, she starts over in a distant port town — where she finds work, independence, a boat of her own, and a man named Christian Casaux whose gentle patience and quiet strength make her believe that love doesn't have to hurt.

But Eric Field isn't the kind of man who lets go.

And when he discovers where she's gone, he'll cross the entire kingdom to drag her back — whether she wants to come or not.

Proposed to by a Mafia Boss

Malik's life has never been easy. Besides being a gay and poor man, he has suffered since childhood, and school was even worse. Until one day, when he fell in love and had his love reciprocated, dating and marriage plans were underway in the lives of the two young men... But a blatant betrayal by his fiancé shattered his heart into pieces.
Dimitri Romanov's life was even more tragic. As a mafia leader, his wife was kidnapped, tortured, and abused by another mafia group. His thirst for revenge grew each day until he killed his last target. After his wife's death, he didn't want to get romantically involved ever again, but his father thinks he should remarry to instill fear in the other leaders.
An unexpected encounter leads Malik to solve a problem for one of his students, bringing him face to face with Dimitri Romanov. What kind of payment proposal would Dimitri offer Malik? How about a contract marriage just to mock the other mafiosos? The incredible and unlikely thing would be for the two to fall in love.

Two New Bosses for Cass

She's mopping floors and cleaning offices. She's not supposed to catch the attention of the owners.

But Theo and Liam Henssen aren't just billionaire doctors and twin brothers. They're two men who share everything — including the woman they love. And from the moment Cass faints in their hallway, hungry, homeless, and hiding secrets she can barely hold together, neither brother can look away.

Theo is calm, patient, and impossibly tender. Liam is fierce, guarded, and hiding a darkness that could swallow them all. Together, they've built walls around a grief no one else knows about. But Cass is slipping through every crack.

She tells herself she can't fall for her bosses. Definitely not both of them. Definitely not at the same time.

She's wrong.

As their worlds collide, Cass discovers that the men offering her everything carry scars as deep as her own — and that the family she escaped will stop at nothing to drag her back down.
