It happened.”I frowned, trying to gauge her. “So, what are you saying?”She crossed her arms, steadying herself. “I’m saying I have a deal for you.”“A deal?”“We keep seeing each other—secretly. No one has to know. No strings attached.”I stared at her, wondering if she was serious. But from the look in her eyes, I knew she was.**********Lila Frost, a brilliant bio-genetics student and the fiercely protected sister of Alpha King Ronan, returns to Silver Lake for a quiet summer focused on her research.

Infertile by Her Hand, Pregnant by My Husband
The day I'm exposed as a fake heiress of a wealthy family, the real heiress, Rowena Fairchild, storms into the house and stabs me repeatedly in the abdomen. She robs me of my chance to ever become a mother. My fiance, Thaddeus Crowley, flies into a rage, and my parents also rush to declare that they'll never acknowledge her. To appease me, Thaddeus proposes to me almost immediately, and my parents even issue a document officially cutting ties with Rowena. They tell me to just focus on my recovery. Later, they tell me that Rowena has fled overseas and has been sold to Corovia, a country up north. They say it's karma, and I believe them. It isn't until six years into my marriage that I see the woman who's supposed to be suffering in Corovia. She's nestled in my now-husband's arms, heavily pregnant. Sighing, she says, "If I hadn't lost my temper and made that mistake six years ago, it wouldn't have been Marisol who married you. "It's a good thing you, Mom, and Dad all took my side. Otherwise, I would've been sent to prison by that fraud. I bet that damn imposter never once imagined that I've been living under her nose all these years, or that I'm carrying your child. "Once I give birth, you can just find an excuse to adopt the baby. Then that fraud can spend the rest of her life as the nanny to my child. "Thank you for everything you've done these past years, Thaddeus." Her loving gaze makes Thaddeus' cheeks flush red. "Don't say that. Marrying her was the only way to keep your reputation intact. As long as you're safe and happy, everything I do is worth it." As it turns out, the husband I believe to be my true love has been lying to me all along, and my parents have only just been covering for their real daughter, too. In that case, I don't want any of them anymore.
