The Wife He Never Wanted

181·Aurora Dreamer

She married him out of love. He married her to save his empire. Elara Collins never expected caring for the formidable Victoria Ashford to end with a marriage ultimatum. But when the dying matriarch orders her ruthless billionaire grandson to marry Elara or lose control of everything his family built, the quiet twenty-one-year-old becomes the unwanted wife of the man she has secretly loved for years. Dante Ashford is powerful, arrogant, and furious. Convinced Elara manipulated his grandmother, he gives her his name, his house, and the title of Mrs. Ashford—but vows she will never have his trust, his affection, or his heart. For two years, Elara endures his coldness, his public humiliation, and the presence of the woman he truly wanted. She protects his family, stands beside him through scandal, and keeps hoping he will finally see her worth. He never does. When Victoria dies and Dante places divorce papers in front of her, Elara finally chooses herself. One final night changes everything. Then she disappears, carrying a secret that will alter both of their lives forever. Five years later, Elara returns to New York. She is no longer the quiet woman Dante once dismissed. She is a successful artist, an independent woman, and the mother of a little boy with Dante’s eyes. Now Dante must face the wife he broke, the son he never held, and the devastating truth that regret may not be enough to win them back. Because Elara may still love him. But this time, love will not be enough.

Fire on Ice: The Olympic Claim

46·Aurora Dreamer

She was the fallen queen of figure skating. He was the most feared man in short-track speed skating. Everly Frost once had everything: a promising career, Olympic dreams, and a partner she trusted with her heart. Then one devastating injury shattered her ankle, her fiancé abandoned her for her biggest rival, and the skating world decided she was finished. At twenty-two, Everly is running out of time, money, and chances. When her home rink is condemned, the last thing she expects is an offer from the powerful Mercer family. Free access to the country's elite training facility could save her career. The catch? She has to work with Knox Mercer. Knox is fast, reckless, and impossible to ignore. A suspension has turned him from skating superstar into public disgrace, and his legendary father is determined to force discipline into him before he destroys his future for good. Knox sees Everly as a distraction. Everly sees Knox as an arrogant brute who believes the world belongs to him. Neither wants the partnership. Neither gets a choice. As brutal training sessions turn into late-night conversations and fierce rivalry gives way to undeniable attraction, the line between hatred and desire begins to blur. For the first time in years, Everly starts to believe she can have a future again. But the past refuses to stay buried. When her ex-fiancé and former rival launch a public campaign to destroy her comeback, Everly finds herself at the center of another scandal. This time, Knox refuses to stand aside. In front of cameras, sponsors, and the entire skating world, he steps to her side and makes his choice clear. Now everyone is watching. As championship dreams, family expectations, and old betrayals threaten to tear them apart, Everly and Knox must decide what matters more: winning the careers they almost lost, or risking everything for a love neither of them saw coming. Because some fires burn hottest on ice.
