OUT OF TIME Some memories are buried to protect the truth. Others are buried because the truth is too dangerous to remember. Amelia Hart has lost eleven months of her life, but the people around her insist that the missing time is only the beginning of her nightmare. Her fiancé, Damien Cross, has been dead for fifteen years. At least, that is what the official records say. Yet every night at exactly 11:59 p.m., Amelia receives a message from his number—messages containing secrets she has never revealed, warnings about murders that have not yet happened, and photographs of places she has never visited but somehow remembers. Then she discovers a grave bearing her own name. Desperate to uncover the truth, Amelia follows a trail of altered photographs, contradictory witness statements, and recordings of conversations she cannot remember having. Each discovery brings her closer to Damien, the man she once loved, and closer to a horrifying possibility: her memories may not have been stolen. She may have willingly erased them. The most disturbing clue is a recording in her own voice, warning someone never to let her fall in love with Damien again. But why would a woman erase the memory of the man she loves? What happened on October 20, the date that appears in every unexplained record? And if Damien is truly reaching out to her across time, why does every message sound less like a declaration of love and more like a desperate attempt to keep her from remembering what she did? Amelia thought she was searching for a dead man. Now she must discover whether the man she loves is trying to save her, destroy her, or remind her of a crime that time itself has failed to bury. Because some love stories end with heartbreak. Hers may have to end with the truth.

THE ALPHA'S REVENGE Betrayed by her mate. Broken by her sister. Desired by the Alpha who never forgot her. The night Amelia discovers that her fated mate has been sleeping with her own sister, her world shatters. The bond that once made her believe in a forever kind of love becomes a painful chain, and her wolf demands blood for the humiliation they have caused her. Amelia refuses to remain the pathetic girl they expect her to be. She will make her unfaithful mate regret every lie, every betrayal, and every moment he took her love for granted. Her revenge begins with one dangerous decision: she will seduce the most powerful Alpha in the region—the father of her ex-mate. But Alpha Damien Blackwood is no ordinary man. His mate abandoned him years ago, leaving him with a secret he has buried beneath his cold heart. He has watched Amelia from a distance for far longer than she realizes, and her sudden appearance in his life threatens to awaken desires he has fought desperately to control. Amelia believes she is using Damien to destroy the man who broke her heart. Damien, however, has his own reasons for drawing her closer. And when a shocking truth about Amelia's bloodline and the mate bond begins to surface, revenge becomes the least dangerous game she is playing. Someone has lied about her destiny. Someone has manipulated the bonds that govern their world. And the man she once loved may be only a pawn in a much darker plan. Amelia wanted revenge. Damien wanted the woman he had never been able to forget. But what happens when the truth reveals that their connection was never supposed to exist? In a world where betrayal can destroy a wolf and love can ignite a war, Amelia must decide whether to punish the past or risk everything for a future that could change the werewolf world forever.

Background: The Billionaire’s Forgotten Heiress The story is set in Westbridge City, a wealthy modern city where luxury skyscrapers stand beside poor neighborhoods, and powerful families control businesses, politics, and secrets that can destroy anyone who uncovers them. At the center of the story is Blackwood Global, a billion-dollar business empire owned by the Blackwood family. Behind its success lies a dark history connected to the Ashford family, a once-powerful dynasty that mysteriously collapsed after a devastating fire twenty years ago. The world believes the Ashfords died and their fortune disappeared, but the truth was carefully buried by people who wanted their wealth and power. Elena Hayes, a young woman raised in poverty, has spent her life struggling to pay her mother's medical bills without knowing that she is the surviving heiress of the Ashford dynasty. Her only connection to her past is a silver teardrop pendant her mother has forbidden her to remove. When a delivery takes her into the world of Alexander Blackwood, Westbridge City's cold and dangerously attractive billionaire, the pendant attracts the attention of someone who recognizes her identity. Desperate for answers and financial security, Elena accepts a job at Blackwood Global. There, she finds herself caught between a powerful man she cannot seem to resist and a dangerous family history that could change everything she believes about love, loyalty, and her own identity. As Elena uncovers the truth, old enemies begin to move against her. Someone has spent twenty years protecting a terrible secret, and Elena's return threatens to destroy an empire built on lies. Alexander must decide whether to protect the legacy of his family or stand beside the woman who may have the right to claim everything he owns. In a world where money buys silence and power hides betrayal, Elena must discover who she really is before the truth costs her the man she loves—or her life.

Amelia Carter stared at the letter in her hands. Her heart sank. FINAL NOTICE. She read the words again, hoping they would somehow change. They didn't. “Thirty days,” she whispered. Thirty days to pay the remaining rent. Thirty days before the small apartment she shared with her younger brother could be taken away. Amelia closed her eyes. She had already lost her job two weeks ago. Her savings were almost finished. And now this. Her phone suddenly rang. “Hello?” “Amelia?” Her landlord's voice came through the phone. “Yes, sir.” “I've been patient with you.” “I know. I'm sorry. I'm trying to get another job.” “You have until the end of the month.” The call ended. Amelia lowered the phone slowly. She wanted to cry. But she had cried enough. That evening, she walked through the city looking for another job. Every office gave her the same answer. We'll contact you. Nobody did. As rain began to fall, Amelia hurried beneath the roof of a luxury hotel. She had no idea that the man she was about to meet would completely change her life. Inside the hotel, Damien Blackwood stood beside the window of a private restaurant. His expression was cold. “I won't do it.” His grandmother sighed. “You don't have a choice.” “I have plenty of choices.” “Not this time.” Damien turned around. “You expect me to marry a woman I don't love just to satisfy a condition in my grandfather's will?” “Yes.” He laughed bitterly. “Ridiculous.” His grandmother placed a document on the table. “One year, Damien. If you are married for one year, the company becomes yours.” Damien stared at the document. The Blackwood Group was worth billions. He couldn't lose it. “How long do I have?” “Thirty days.” Damien's jaw tightened. Then his eyes moved toward the hotel entrance. A young woman had just walked inside. Her clothes were wet from the rain. She looked exhausted, but there was something different about her. She wasn't looking at the expensive cars. She wasn't staring at the wealthy guests. She was simply trying to stay dry. Damien watched her for a few seconds. Then an idea entered his mind. “Maybe,” he said quietly, “I have found my solution.” His grandmother followed his gaze. “Who is she?” “I don't know.” “Then find out.” Damien picked up his phone. For the first time that night, he smiled. But he had no idea that the woman he had chosen to become his fake wife would eventually become the only woman he couldn't live without. End of Chapter One.
