Vows of Revenge
Updated at Oct 28, 2026, 04:04
Five years ago, investigative journalist Nora Bennett had the story of her career — and the fiancé who stole it. Daniel Whitmore published her investigation under his own name, called her work a fabrication, and married her best friend. Nora lost everything and rebuilt her life far from the city, as the owner of a small coastal inn. Now Daniel is back — booking her inn for his fifth anniversary gala, right under the nose of the town he plans to sell off to developers. Nora has one chance to take back her name. She still has her notebooks. She still has the voicemail that proves the truth. What she does not expect is Julian Hale: a documentary filmmaker renting her cottage, chasing the same corruption story, and asking questions she swore she would never answer again. As the gala approaches, Nora must decide what her revenge is really worth — and whether the man helping her expose the past is the reason she finally has a future. A contemporary revenge romance about stolen credit, a second chance, and the truth told at last — in front of everyone.

The Art Forger's Daughter
Updated at Nov 9, 2026, 02:17
Ten years ago, master restorer Henry Calloway died disgraced, accused of forging a masterpiece. His daughter Vivian believed he was innocent — and changed her name to prove it. Now a forensic art authenticator, she is hired under a false name by Cross Gallery, the gallery of the man who framed her father, to vet the star lot of its autumn auction: the 'rediscovered' Vermilion Madonna. Under ultraviolet light, she finds her father's hidden mark inside the painting — and realises the masterpiece is a lie painted over his own unfinished canvas. Art-crime investigator Theo Langford has been hunting the forgery ring behind Cross Gallery for a year, and he is sure the beautiful new authenticator is part of it. As Vivi digs for the proof that will clear her father's name, she must survive a forger's warnings, a planted accusation, and a public ruin — and decide whether the man hunting her is her enemy, or the only person who can help her expose the truth live, on auction night, in front of the whole art world.

The CEO's Christmas Fiancée
Updated at Nov 8, 2026, 01:33
Two years ago, wedding planner Sofia Bennett lost her mother — and nearly lost the little family bakery her mother built. Now a demolition notice is taped to Bennett's Bakery door, and the building's new owner wants her out by New Year. She still bakes her mother's Christmas stollen every December, and leaves one loaf on the counter for the mother she lost. Three weeks before Christmas, billionaire CEO Alexander Knight has a problem of his own. His late grandfather's will says he must be engaged by the Christmas Eve gala — or the controlling shares of Knight Holdings pass to his uncle Marcus. Alex was left at the altar once and swore he would never trust a real engagement again. So he hires the one woman who once planned his ruined wedding to play his fake fiancée for December: Sofia Bennett. The contract is simple. Smile at the parties. Hold his hand at the tree lighting. Be gone by New Year's Day. But his grandmother Eleanor sees through the act in a single evening. His ex-fiancée Victoria returns, determined to take her place. And Sofia discovers the truth Alex never knew: Knight Holdings is the company buying her mother's bakery building. As snow falls over Manhattan and the gala draws closer, the line between pretend and real starts to blur — and both of them must decide what matters more: an empire, a bakery, or the heart neither of them planned to risk. A story of second chances, family, and a Christmas that changes everything.

Alley No. 13: The Rooms That Never Sleep
Updated at Nov 7, 2026, 20:17
Linh is twenty-four, unemployed, and done with waiting. Two years ago her younger sister Mai disappeared from a boarding house at the end of Alley No. 13 in Saigon, a house with thirteen rooms that appears on no honest map. The police found no body and no answers — only Mai's phone in Room 13, holding a final thirteen-second recording: three gentle knocks, and Mai whispering that something is standing outside the door. So Linh does the one thing no one else dared: she rents Room 13 herself. The landlady, Ba Tu, takes no deposit and charges half price — and gives her three rules. Never open the door or answer a knock after 3 a.m. Never look into the bathroom mirror after midnight. And if she hears her own voice calling her name from inside the walls, she must cover her ears and pretend to sleep. The last tenant fled within a week, leaving everything behind and a single sentence in lipstick on the bathroom mirror: Don't let it learn your voice. On the first night, Linh answers one question aloud in an empty bathroom — and the mirror thanks her for it. At 3 a.m., something wearing the voices of everyone she loves knocks, and only a text message from her sister's dead phone number keeps her from opening the door. To bring Mai home, Linh will have to learn what the house is counting — and why Room 12, empty since 2019, still pays its rent.

Five years ago, in a blizzard, midwife Elara Quinn lost a mother and a baby in a home birth she attended alone — and she swore she would never deliver a baby alone again. She keeps the mother's hand-written birth plan folded in her kit bag, and she has kept that promise ever since. Then, on another storm night, a stranger knocks on the Silverpine clinic door and begs her to come to a hidden lodge in the pines. The woman in labour is Seren, Luna of the Blackwood werewolf pack. The child she carries is the Moonborn heir, born once in a generation under a blood moon. Elara saves the baby — but Seren dies in her arms, making Elara swear to keep her son safe and hidden until the full-moon ceremony. Now the pack's new Alpha, Cade Blackwood, keeps Elara at the lodge under guard, because the newborn Alden quiets for no one but her. The pack council says a human has no place among wolves. The war leader Gareth Vane says the heir belongs to the pack — and plots to take him. And as Elara learns the truth about the poisoned tonic that made Seren's labour so dangerous, she must decide how far she will go to keep a promise made to a dying woman — even if it means standing between a wolf pack and the child she saved. A story of grief, courage, and a love that crosses the line between human and wolf — where the smallest hands hold the future of a whole pack.

The Caretaker's Revenge
Updated at Nov 6, 2026, 01:33
Two years ago, Elena Marsh lost her younger brother Noah on a rain-slick coast road — a hit-and-run, no driver ever found. The police file is closed. But Elena kept one thing from the crash scene: a monogrammed cufflink stamped "N.A." And the road where Noah died runs directly below Blackwater House, the cliffside estate of the Ashford family, one of the richest names in Maine shipping. So when Blackwater House advertises for a live-in house manager, Elena applies — with a carefully built work history and a secret in her pocket. She expects a cold house full of suspects. She does not expect Julian Ashford, the family's estranged architect son, who has come home claiming he wants to restore the old boathouse while quietly auditing his own father's company. Each of them is hiding a reason for being there. Each of them thinks the other is part of the lie. As Elena searches the house — a garage log with a missing night, a car that was repainted, a staff rota that was changed — the danger closes in: a staged fall on the cliff path, a forged theft charge, a warning whispered in the dark. And when the truth finally surfaces, it will cost one of them everything: the driver was an Ashford, and the cover-up reaches the very top of the family. A story of grief, justice, and a love built in a house full of secrets — where the only way to honour the dead is to tell the truth, no matter who it destroys.

Five years ago, Wren Ashford was Stonepeak Pack's Luna-to-be — until forged letters made it look as if she had sold pack secrets to a rival pack, and her Alpha publicly rejected her on the eve of her Luna ceremony.

To save her sister and her pack, Wren must do the hardest thing of all: stand before the Alpha who rejected her and tell him who she really is.
