Proposed to by a Mafia Boss

Malik's life has never been easy. Besides being a gay and poor man, he has suffered since childhood, and school was even worse. Until one day, when he fell in love and had his love reciprocated, dating and marriage plans were underway in the lives of the two young men... But a blatant betrayal by his fiancé shattered his heart into pieces.
Dimitri Romanov's life was even more tragic. As a mafia leader, his wife was kidnapped, tortured, and abused by another mafia group. His thirst for revenge grew each day until he killed his last target. After his wife's death, he didn't want to get romantically involved ever again, but his father thinks he should remarry to instill fear in the other leaders.
An unexpected encounter leads Malik to solve a problem for one of his students, bringing him face to face with Dimitri Romanov. What kind of payment proposal would Dimitri offer Malik? How about a contract marriage just to mock the other mafiosos? The incredible and unlikely thing would be for the two to fall in love.

The Housewife They Scorned

Celeste gave up everything for love.

A thriving career. A fortune most people couldn't imagine. Her place at the helm of one of the country's largest corporations. She walked away from all of it without a second thought — because Derek asked her to stay home and raise their children, and she believed him when he said her sacrifice would be honored.

It wasn't.

For five years, Celeste has cooked, cleaned, and held the household together on a shrinking budget while her husband hands the bulk of his paycheck to his mother, his divorced sister, and his college-age brother. His family calls her a freeloader. They say she sits around the house doing nothing. They tell her to get a job.

None of them know that the "unemployed housewife" they mock is secretly the largest shareholder of the very company where Derek works.

When Celeste finally snaps, she doesn't scream. She doesn't cry. She puts a price tag on every meal she cooks, every floor she scrubs, every diaper she changes — and watches the people who called her worthless realize they can't survive a single day without her.

Then she takes her children and walks out the door. Not into poverty. Into the mansion she grew up in, where the servants are already waiting.

What follows is a reckoning — for the husband who chose his family over his wife, for the mother-in-law who slammed tables and demanded obedience, for the sister-in-law who sneered while wearing jewelry bought with Celeste's household budget. One by one, the people who scorned her are forced to confront what they've lost, what they've done, and who they really are without the woman they took for granted.

But this isn't just a story about revenge. It's about whether a broken family can learn to become whole — and whether the man who failed the woman he loved can earn a second chance he doesn't deserve.

The Surgeon's Secret Wife

Kayla Parker has barely started her medical internship when her world is turned upside down — her father has arranged her marriage to a man she's never met. The groom? Dr. Arthur Alexander: the youngest hospital director in the country, a neurosurgeon of terrifying brilliance, and the most unapproachable man anyone has ever encountered.

Cold. Commanding. Impossible to read.

Under the terms of their families' agreement, the marriage must remain an absolute secret. At the hospital, Arthur is her superior — ruthless in the operating room, feared by every intern who crosses his path. At home, he is a stranger who sleeps in the same bed but barely speaks a word.

Kayla tells herself she just has to survive. Keep her head down. Endure the silence.

But Arthur Alexander is not what he seems.

Behind the glacial exterior lies a man fighting battles no one else can see — a man whose capacity for devotion runs as deep as the scalpel cuts he makes. And the more Kayla discovers, the harder it becomes to keep her heart out of the equation.

As jealous rivals scheme to tear them apart, old secrets surface, and the pressures of life-and-death medicine push them to their limits, Kayla and Arthur must decide: is this marriage of convenience worth fighting for — or will the weight of everything they're hiding destroy them both?
