The only reason I agree to meet him is to make him pay for everything he did growing up. Revenge is a dish best served in person. This takedown is going to be epic. But life has other plans.

He has also been hurt and I know what that’s like. He understands me and I start to fall for him. But my brother, Quinn, is all I have. I can’t jeopardize my relationship with him.

Es oscuro, rico y poderoso. Le gustan los juegos. La única regla es que no hay reglas. Pero es solo una noche. ¿Qué es lo peor que puede pasar?

I don’t belong with her. Born into darkness, life made me a cynic incapable of love. But then Ellie waltzed in. Innocent, optimistic, kind. She’s the opposite of what I deserve. I bought her, but she she stole my heart. Now my business is going up in flames. I have only one chance to make it right. That’s where it happens...something I can never take back. I don’t cheat on her. There’s no one else. It’s worse than that. Much worse. Can we survive this?

Franklin is not only my fiancé but also Henry’s boss, and he will stop at nothing to get everything he wants....

¿Es este nuestro fin? Encontré una mujer sin la cual no puedo vivir. Hemos pasado por mucho. Hemos tenido nuestros contratiempos. Pero nuestro amor es más fuerte que nunca. Somos sobrevivientes. Pero cuando la alejan de mí en el altar, justo antes de que ella se convierta en mi esposa, todo se rompe. Haré cualquier cosa para liberarla. Haré cualquier cosa para hacerla mía para siempre. ¿Pero es eso suficiente? ¿Y si no lo es?

Pueden tomar todo de mí, pero no pueden tomarla a ella. El señor Black está de vuelta. Para vengarse. - Necesito que firmes un contrato. - ¿Qué tipo de contrato? - Un contrato que te hará mía. Esta vez ella va a hacer todo lo que yo diga. Ella lo va a odiar y luego va a rogar por más. Este es el juego que jugamos. Es nuestro juego. ¿Pero qué pasa cuando los demás se enteran? ¿Perderemos todo?

No estamos hechos el uno para el otro. No debería haber quedado con él de nuevo después de nuestra primera noche juntos. Pero me muero de deseo por él. Soy adicta a él. Él es mi placer oscuro. El señor Black es Aiden. Aiden es el señor Black. Dos caras de la misma persona. Aiden es amable y dulce. El señor Black es exigente y se rige por las reglas. Cuando me invita a volver a su yate, no puedo decir que no. Otra subasta. Otra puja. Se supone que soy suya. Pero entonces todo va mal.

He ended a life to save mine. Now the walls are closing in. They hunt us, seeking our weaknesses. I may have to sacrifice myself to save him. I never meant to love him. Yet now I'm enthralled, ensnared by his every word, his every look. The way he moves, the way he undresses me with his eyes. I can’t let go. Not when his touch sets me ablaze. My job with his father’s worst enemy is an existential threat. I’m undercover in enemy territory and I can’t trust anyone. If we can endure the gathering storm, our bond might save us. Yet a betrayal whispers in the shadows, one that could ...

They took her from me at the altar. Now I'll tear the world apart to get her back. We survived the auction. We survived the betrayals. We survived every obstacle thrown at us. Our love is unbreakable. Or so I thought. The wedding was supposed to be our happy ending—the moment Ellie officially becomes mine forever. Then they take her. Right before she says "I do," she's ripped from my arms. I am Aiden Black. I've built empires and destroyed enemies. I've conquered every challenge life has thrown at me. But none of that matters if I can't save her. I will use every resource, call in every ...

Je suis un homme qui prend ce qu'il veut. Et je la veux de retour. Olive Kernes pensait avoir payé sa dette. Elle pensait être libre. Elle avait tort. Je ne veux plus seulement son temps. Je ne veux plus seulement son corps. Je veux son cœur, son âme, chaque morceau d'elle qu'elle essaie de me cacher. Sa nouvelle vie nous déchire. Les secrets entre nous construisent des murs que je ne peux pas briser. Mais je ne me suis pas battu aussi dur pour la perdre maintenant. Je brûlerai tous les obstacles. J'affronterai tous les ennemis. Je détruirai quiconque essaie de nous séparer. L'amour...

Il m'a sauvée. Je l'ai sauvé. Maintenant nous nous noyons tous les deux dans les secrets. Nicholas Crawford est un criminel, un menteur, et un homme avec un passé qu'il ne partagera pas. C'est aussi la seule personne en qui j'ai confiance. Quand je découvre que toute ma vie a été un mensonge—ma famille, mon identité, tout ce que je croyais savoir—il est le seul qui peut m'aider à trouver la vérité. Mais fouiller dans mon passé signifie affronter le sien. Et ses secrets sont plus sombres que je ne l'ai jamais imaginé. Qui suis-je vraiment ? D'où est-ce que je viens ? Et ...

Nous avons survécu à la dette. Nous avons survécu aux secrets. Pouvons-nous survivre à la vérité ? Il fut un temps où Nicholas Crawford me possédait par obligation. Maintenant il me possède par choix—et cela me terrifie. Nous avons traversé l'enfer ensemble. Mensonges, trahisons, révélations qui ont brisé tout ce que nous pensions savoir. Nous devrions être plus forts pour cela. Au lieu de cela, nous nous fracturons. Il redevient un étranger, se retirant quand j'ai le plus besoin de lui. Je remets tout en question—notre amour, notre avenir, si nous sommes trop abîmés ...

Il m'a sauvé la vie. Maintenant, il la possède. Un an d'obéissance absolue. C'est le prix de la dette que je ne peux pas rembourser. Mon sauveur anonyme est un milliardaire aux secrets sombres et aux désirs encore plus obscurs. Il peut avoir tout ce qu'il veut—mon temps, ma soumission, ma reddition complète à ses jeux tordus. Tout sauf la seule chose qu'il désire le plus : moi, volontairement dans son lit. « Je ne coucherai pas avec toi », je lui dis. Son sourire est pur péché. « Avant la fin de notre année, tu me supplieras de le faire. » Piégée dans son monde de richesse...

Je n'aurais jamais dû le revoir après cette première nuit sur son yacht. Mais M. Black ne me laisse pas partir. Et je ne veux pas partir. Je suis accro à ses jeux de pouvoir. À ses règles. À la façon dont il me regarde comme si j'étais la seule femme au monde et simultanément sa possession. Aiden le jour. M. Black la nuit. Gentil puis exigeant. Tendre puis impitoyable. Quand il me réinvite pour une deuxième vente aux enchères encore plus privée, encore plus dangereuse, je sais que je devrais refuser. Ma vie commence à s'effondrer. Mes amis posent des questions. Mon travail ...

He set me free. I came back begging for more. Our night together was supposed to be over. The debt paid, the contract fulfilled. I should have walked away and never looked back. But I can't stop thinking about him. About his touch. His control. The way he made me feel alive for the first time in my life. Aiden Black is kind, protective, everything I never knew I needed. Mr. Black is demanding, dominant, the darkness I crave. They're the same man, and I'm addicted to both sides of him. When he invites me back to his yacht for another auction, I know I should refuse. This isn't love—it's ...

artandfaithunplugged.com When it seems like too many things are falling apart and too many people are being too terrible, it’s easy to become too hopeless, too discouraged, and too angry. Instead of complaining and raging about the church's failures, the government's failures, and everyone else's failures, we can focus more on things like art and faith that help us navigate the joys and pains of everyday life. Art matters because it helps us belong to ourselves, others, God, and the world. Art and Faith Unplugged and its host Charlotte Donlon make space for conversations and writing that ...
