The Illegitimate Daughter and the Ruined CEO

Estefanía Rosales has spent her entire life locked away in a convent — the illegitimate daughter her father's family wanted hidden from the world. No visits. No phone calls. No future beyond those cold walls.

Until the day her stepmother arrives with an offer: marry the heir of the Castellanos family, or rot here forever.

Alexander Castellanos is thirty-eight, bitter, and broken. A devastating accident left him walking with a cane and watching his empire crumble. His grandfather's solution? A one-year arranged marriage to stabilize the markets and save the family name.

Neither of them wants this.

But from the moment Estefanía steps into Alexander's mansion with nothing but a backpack and a nearly empty tube of lip gloss, everything begins to shift. She's not the polished heiress everyone expected — she's wide-eyed, clumsy, and fiercely kind. And Alexander, despite every wall he's built, can't stop watching her.

What starts as a cold business arrangement slowly burns into something neither of them planned. Stolen glances become lingering touches. Arguments become confessions. And the contract that was supposed to end in twelve months starts feeling like something worth fighting for.

But Estefanía is hiding a secret that could destroy everything — she's not the daughter anyone thinks she is. And in a world where last names mean power, being an illegitimate nobody married to a billionaire CEO is a scandal waiting to explode.

When the truth comes out, Alexander will have to choose: the pride that has ruled his life, or the woman who taught him how to live again.

Taming Blackridge's Bad Boy

Vivian Carter only wanted one thing from Blackridge University's football program: a student assistant position that could launch her sports management career. Then Coach Wilson gives her a trial assignment that sounds impossible: bring Ethan Lawrence, Blackridge's ruthless transfer star, back to practice.
Ethan is everything Vivian should avoid. A former five-star recruit, a campus obsession, and a man who looks more dangerous under studio lights than any warning label could cover, he has no interest in being managed by a freshman with a clipboard. But Vivian keeps showing up. She waits through humiliation, learns how to care for his battered body, and sees the truth everyone else misses: Ethan never stopped caring about football. He just stopped trusting anyone with it.
The more Ethan pushes her away, the more he finds himself chasing her. One secret phone number becomes one reckless kiss, then a hidden relationship neither of them can keep hidden for long. Vivian's job, Ethan's comeback, team rules, jealous rivals, and the whole campus are waiting to tear into them.
But when the untamable star finally chooses someone, he does it in front of everyone.
And Ethan Lawrence doesn't plan to lose the girl who brought him back to the field.
