My ex called me broken. A stranger made me pregnant.My Baby Has No Last Name

My Baby Has No Last Name

Ch. 1 free · 12 of 18

At my husband's campaign breakfast, Dean thanked his girlfriend for giving him a family and told the whole room I was the problem. I changed the locks before the coffee went cold. Then a man at the hotel bar made me laugh until I forgot my own name. He gave me one night and only a first name. I told myself that was enough. Six weeks later, I am pregnant. The doctors always said this could not happen, so I cry in my shop bathroom and thank no one but the ceiling. Now Dean is trying to drag me back under his thumb. My kind new doctor treats me like glass, and his wedding ring makes me feel things I should not. The stranger's voice is still in my head, but I do not know where he is. How do I protect this baby and keep my pride? And how do I choose between the gentle man who is already taken and the stranger my body remembers?

She came to ruin him. He chose her.The False Dragon Bride

The False Dragon Bride

Ch. 1 free · 12 of 17

Every year, the dragon court chooses a bride for Prince Lucan. The queen says the choice keeps the border safe. The chosen woman gets a crown, a bonded dragon, and no way out. Tansy Dorset has no title and no family left worth naming. She enters the selection under a false house name, carrying her dead brother's rider pin and a plan to get close to the crown that burned him. Prince Lucan is the living face of that crown. His mother owns every rule, and the court forgives nothing. If anyone learns why Tansy came, she will not just lose her place. She will pay with her life.

My ex's brother can keep me safe. He wants a wife.My Ex's Brother

My Ex's Brother

Ch. 1 free · 22 of 23

My future husband, Alistair, shows me off like a prize. He smiles at another woman. Then he tells me to smile too. I tell myself it is fine. It is not. His brother, Rory, is the only one who sees me. He does not grab my arm. He just stays. When my aunt needs help, Rory makes an offer. Marry him for six months. It will save her. It may save me. I tell myself it is just a deal. His calm care feels safe. It also feels like a trap. I will not be a wife on paper. Not even for him.

The Veteran Who Shouldn't Want Me

Ch. 1 free · 20 of 21

I have a plan. Keep the boatyard running. Keep my hands steady. Keep Drew looking at me like I'm the best thing in his life. His family treats me like I belong, and I need that more than I say. Drew is warm. He forgets things. He says sorry with a kiss, then leaves me alone when his friends laugh. I tell myself his family's kindness is enough. Then his older brother comes home from the Navy. Callum is cold, quiet, and hard to look at. He acts like I'm a stain on the family dock. I want to hate him. I don't trust her. I don't want to notice her. But I do. He watches me when Drew doesn't. When I'm at my lowest, his contempt cracks, and I see something that scares me. I think he wants me too. I can't want him back.
