Vivian Hartley has spent years hiding her real face behind dull makeup, letting everyone believe she is nothing more than an ugly heiress unworthy of the Blackwell family's heir. When her cheating fiancé, Silas Blackwell, publicly humiliates her before their engagement, Vivian decides she's done playing the obedient bride. One reckless night, she chooses the most dangerous man she can find—and wakes up beside Quentin Blackwell, Silas's powerful young uncle. Quentin is cold, ruthless, and untouchable. The illegitimate son who returned to Lumin City with revenge in his blood and the entire business world under his control. Vivian thought their night together would be her weapon to escape the marriage. Instead, she has provoked a man who never forgets being used. Now her shameless fiancé chases after his mistress, her family tries to sell her for profit, and everyone waits to watch her fall. But Vivian is far from helpless. Behind the ugly mask is a breathtaking beauty—and behind her quiet smile is Iris, the world-renowned perfumer no one can afford to offend. Quentin tells himself she is trouble. A liar. His nephew's future wife. His enemy's daughter. Yet every time Vivian is bullied, framed, or pushed to the edge, he is the first one to appear. When the scumbag fiancé finally sees her true face and begs for another chance, Quentin only throws a marriage certificate in his face and says coldly: "Call her Aunt."

Mate. Something every werewolf looks forward to. The thought of finding someone tailor-made by the moon goddess for you alone in the entire world is exhilarating. At least it was for me. For a while. I waited for what felt like forever. Everyone finds their mate once they turn eighteen. I'll be eighteen in a few days. I wanted to keep myself for my mate. To be pure but who was I kidding. Nobody could have prepared me for who my mate was. Not even my adoptive parents. The alpha's son. Maverick Tatum. The same boy I used to think of as a scum after watching how he treats the female in the pack. That same boy was my mate. I'm Ares Powers. My parents said they found me in the woods with my name engraved in the wood of the beads I was wearing. They have tried taking off the beads multiple times when I was growing up. They couldn't. They took me to the pack seer and he said only my true mate can help me remove the beads and unlock my wolf's highest potential. I wonder why my birth parents would want to keep my powers locked. The day I found out Maverick was my mate was the same day he rejected me. In front of everyone. The next day, I was banished from the pack. I swore to get my revenge then. But until then, I have to find a way to unlock my wolf's full potential because my mate turned out to be unreliable.

When Charlotte Whitfield found out her boyfriend of five years, Jasper Sinclair, had secretly married another woman, she didn't cry or beg. She walked straight into a bar, picked the one man Jasper couldn't stand—his older half-brother, Alexander Sinclair—and planted herself on his lap. She thought it was just one reckless night of revenge. She thought the cheater would never know what he'd really lost. Because the girl Jasper dismissed as "poor and useless"? She's actually the sole heir to the Whitfield Group—a billion-dollar empire. A tech genius. A top-tier designer. The queen of finance… And that cold, ruthless CEO everyone's terrified of—the one rumored to have even turned on his own father? Alexander Sinclair is now gently cradling her baby bump, murmuring with a low laugh in her ear: "I know you're carrying my child. So… when are you going to marry me?"
