— Are you testing my patience? — the man's voice became noticeably heavier. — Oh, no use. — Let go, — Nastya twitched, trying to free herself. — Immediately! — You know, I thought about it… You can apologize in another way. — What?! — Can you guess how? — the man buried his nose in her flowing hair. Nastya understood the hint. However, something strange suddenly started happening to her body. The man's strong embrace blocked all avenues of escape. Her heart began to jump strangely in her chest, and a burning heat crawled over her skin. Strange. Sensual. — So what, Nastya? — the man lowered his voice. — I'll forgive everything. If you try. — If I try, you'll go to traumatology. Let go! — Wayward. Nothing, I haven't tamed such people. It will be interesting.

— So we met, prick. Who would have thought? — Don't you dare say anything, — Sofia looked at him boldly. — You don't want anyone to know about our little adventure? — It's personal. — So, Sofia? — a smile appeared on the attractive man's face, lighting up his blue eyes with warm sparks. — Too official. We need something softer, more tender… For example, Sonya. — Let me go! What did you find fault with? — You ran away at night. Why? — You wanted to and ran away. Why did you have to stay? — I didn't get enough pleasure, — the man's blue eyes became darker, flashing with the familiar fire of passion. — I want more. — You want more, — Sofia quickly melted under his gaze, but forbade herself to give up. — Nothing will happen. — It will happen, Sonya. You simply won't be able to refuse me.

While saving a kitten, I nearly got hit by a car. The driver yelled at me but then took pity, bringing both me and the kitten to his place. I had nothing. He gave me a job and let me stay with him. He treated me kindly, and over time, I realized I was falling in love. My feelings are strong, but will they withstand all the obstacles fate has prepared for us?

Just when I think things are about to calm down, my brother pulls me back into his world. A world where gunshots ring out more often than words of love. A world where every step is a risk to life.

A story of submission and rebellion, fear and passion, and of a girl who did not want to love. But fate had other plans.

Everyone loves cats. Well, everyone except my boss—who still hired my three furballs to help attract customers to his failing café. And me? I’m basically nobody. Just the official cat wrangler. We’re supposed to save the business, but in reality, my cats are more likely to wreck the place and drive the boss completely mad. Not that it’s hard—he’s arrogant, impossible… and annoyingly attractive.

I never thought I was still living in the Middle Ages — until my dear daddy sold me off in marriage to some arrogant, disgusting beast just to save his failing business. Well… maybe not that disgusting. And maybe not a beast at all. And sure, he was arrogant — but that was in his youth, apparently, not now. Now I realize I don’t really know the man fate has thrown into my life. And more and more, I catch myself wanting to know him better. But the situation? Infuriating! And he better not think I’m falling for his charm. No way. Not in this lifetime!

It all started when I accidentally bumped into a stranger, running out of the office in despair after a fight with my best friend. We even exchanged phone numbers with him. I thought nothing of it — maybe a few texts, at most. But then things really started spinning out of control. And just when I thought I might be falling for him, I found out who his brother was… That’s when I wanted to block his number and disappear off the face of the earth. But it was too late. He’d already rooted himself deep inside my heart. Now all I can do is wait for his calls… and pray he returns to me safe and sound.

Burned out. Hollow. Done with it all. That’s me. Nothing sparks joy anymore, and the loneliness? It makes me want to howl at the moon. So when my best friend insists on a winter getaway to the serene Carpathian Mountains, I give in. A cozy cottage in the snow sounds like the perfect reset… until I end up in the clutches of the devil himself. And I’m not speaking metaphorically. He’s real—towering, broad-shouldered, with a beard like a stormcloud and a temper as fiery as hellfire. But beneath the growls and scowls, there’s something else. Something wild. Something… irresistible. Could this grumpy Carpathian creature be the key to healing my weary heart? Or will I become yet another lost soul in his dark forest?

Having barely escaped an abusive relationship, I fled to a remote village in the middle of nowhere. Falling in love again was the last thing on my mind — I was focused on work and preparing for university.

I was 20 years old when the perfect world I lived in fell apart like a house of cards. Winning the Miss Ukraine 2019 pageant and being offered to participate in Miss World 2019 was something I could only dream of, though I had no idea how much I would change my fate. Just yesterday I was standing on stage under bright spotlights, and today my face is covered by a veil embroidered with precious stones. Tears are streaming down my cheeks, and there is only one thing in my head: "Goodbye innocence, goodbye virginity... From now on, I am the fourth and last wife of the Sheikh of the United Arab Emirates, Katarina Nahyan.
