The Ransom Game
Updated at Oct 20, 2026, 22:37
She talks people alive for a living. He buries problems with money. When billionaire Roman Ashworth's seventeen-year-old sister is kidnapped, he is forced to hire the one person he despises: Wren Halloway, a former FBI crisis negotiator who reads lies the way other people read faces. Wren hates him right back — his company's contractors got her fiancé killed five years ago. But the kidnapper's demands stop being about money, the clock keeps shrinking, and the voice on the phone speaks a phrase only a dead man knew. To save Evie, Wren must out-negotiate the one man who taught her everything — and Roman must trust the woman whose profession he blames for his mother's death. A high-stakes game of leverage, secrets, and slow-burn hate-to-love where every word is a weapon.

The Body Double Bride
Updated at Oct 22, 2026, 22:09
Lena Hart is Hollywood's most invisible woman — the body double behind A-list star Vivienne Crane's most famous scenes. Nobody knows her face. Nobody knows her name. And on the morning she's meant to double Vivienne's biggest scene yet, Lena finds her dead in her trailer — an "overdose" that Lena knows is murder. She saw the visitor. She saw the silver cufflink. Billionaire studio heir Lucien Ashford gives her a choice: become Vivienne for eight weeks until the $300M film wraps — or be destroyed. Secretly engaged to Vivienne in an arranged merger-marriage, Lucien needs his fiancée alive on camera. What he doesn't know is that the woman learning to walk, talk, and smile like Vivienne is falling for him — and that someone on his own set is killing to keep a secret buried. As sabotage turns to attempted murder, Lena must play the perfect starlet by day and hunt a killer by night — without Lucien discovering that the woman he can't stand is the woman he's falling for. And the one person who can expose the truth is the one person Lena can never be: herself.

The Black Box Bride
Updated at Oct 21, 2026, 23:52
When Slate Air Flight 217 fell out of the sky, the official ruling was pilot error — and the co-pilot they blamed was forensic crash investigator Skye Merritt's own sister. Fourteen months later, Skye reads the wreckage the way other people read faces, and the metal is telling her a different story: the jackscrew was sabotaged. Gideon Slate, the billionaire who built the airline from nothing, has buried the inquiry once to save his company — and he'll do it again. Appointed as the airline's liaison, he shadows Skye's every step, determined to control the narrative. She is determined to burn it down. But someone is killing the people who get too close to the truth, and the second time Skye's brakes are cut, even Gideon can't pretend this is about insurance anymore. From a storm-trapped crash site in the Cascades to a live hearing where the cockpit voice recorder plays for the world, they chase a saboteur who never leaves fingerprints — while hate turns into the one thing neither of them can afford: trust. Because the black box remembers everything. And it is about to speak.

Serena Cross is a former Army Ranger and one of Apex Shield Security's best close-protection specialists — a woman who reads threats like chess moves and keeps a threat board on her wall. When billionaire Killian Drake survives a shooting at his father's memorial, Serena is assigned to keep him alive. She says yes for a reason no one knows: she believes the Drake empire murdered her brother Eli three years ago, and the bodyguard job is her way inside. Killian — charismatic, grieving, and furious about being handled — fights her every rule. But the attacks keep coming: a sniper, an ambush, a kidnapping. And the deeper Serena digs, the less the evidence fits her revenge story. The signature on the redacted memo is forged. The money trail leads not to Killian, but to the man standing beside him — his uncle Victor, who wants the CEO chair and will burn the family to get it. To protect the man she was sent to investigate, Serena will have to break every rule she lives by — including the one about never falling for the principal. Revenge. Hate-to-love. Forbidden protection. A corporate empire at war. And a wedding that will have to wait — because someone just put a price on the groom's head. Round two.
