She Is Not Your Wife: Love Actually All Around

After six months away on a European business trip, a woman returns to her Chicago penthouse only to find her prized, carefully tended ghost orchid withered and dead. Refusing to believe it died naturally, she examines the soil, only to detect the unmistakable, cloying stench of cheap cigars. Since neither she nor her husband smoke, she is left with a chilling realization: an unwelcome guest has been living in her home, leaving behind a trail of toxic secrets.

Staring at the stained hospital ceiling for three agonizing days, I counted the hours between morphine doses. My ribs screamed with every breath after a brutal, lightning-fast rogue attack. I can still taste the terror—the teeth, the fall, and the whimpers of my dormant wolf as claws tore my flesh. Though the doctor claims I am lucky to survive with a fractured arm and deep gashes, my depleted inner beast cannot heal me, leaving me scarred and utterly vulnerable.

Forced into a bond with an Alpha she never desired, a resilient woman makes the daring choice to flee her pack and reclaim her freedom. Despite her successful escape, the powerful wolf who claimed her refuses to let his prize slip away. As he launches a relentless hunt to track her down, she must navigate a world of danger and desire. This high-stakes romance follows her struggle for independence against an obsessive mate who will stop at nothing.

Betrayed by her mate, a werewolf finds herself in a nightmare when her Alpha chooses his mistress over their bond. The ultimate cruelty occurs when he forcibly takes her mother’s blood to sustain his lover, shattering the protagonist's world. Now, she must navigate the wreckage of her broken life while facing the cold reality of her mate's treachery. It is a dark tale of loss and survival in a pack where love has been replaced by blood and greed.

The morning began with a painful fall down the lobby stairs, leaving her ankle badly swollen and bruised. Carrying her son Liam's things, she refused help out of habit. But when she limped back to their apartment, her husband Tyler merely glanced at her injury and poured his coffee, completely indifferent. This modern novel captures a mother's silent struggle against neglect, exposing the cold truth of a marriage crumbling under betrayal and a husband's ultimate, devastating choice.

After ten years of marriage, I discovered my husband's safe was locked with my stepsister's birthday. Inside was a heartless plot to steal my unborn baby and billions in assets for Kaleigh. I was never his true wife; I was a surrogate chosen because his lover was barren. When he blocked my divorce and threatened to take my child, a recording of him calling me his incubator leaked. To protect my baby from them, I cannot simply run—I must die.
