NO STRINGS, JUST LIES

Emery Caldwell has only two priorities: her two-year-old son, Noah, and staying safe from the demons of her past. Once manipulated by Caleb, her son’s charming but dangerous father, Emery rebuilt her life with walls no one could scale. Her job in crisis media management keeps her surrounded by the damage she can contain. But when Rhyland Ward moves into her high-security building guarded, enigmatic tech mogul with his dark past—the walls begin to crack. Sparks fly, but Emery has no intention of letting romance into her fragile world. To secure an investment Rhyland proposes a fake engagement to Emery. As public figures, visibility could be their shield. Together, they perform a life of luxury, intimacy, and stability all for the camera. Behind closed doors, they navigate trauma, trust, and simmering attraction. Emery is terrified—of loving, of losing, of needing someone again. That is until Caleb resurfaces with a threat. One photo. One message. And Noah is gone. Rhyland doesn’t hesitate. He mobilizes resources, burns bridges, and joins Emery in the hunt. When they recover Noah, it’s clear: this isn’t over. Caleb isn’t working alone. Someone bigger, more connected, is playing a long game—and they’ve marked Emery’s family as targets. But the deeper they go into the ruse, the more real it feels. Rhyland becomes Noah’s protector. Emery becomes his sanctuary. And the lies they tell the world become the truths they hide from each other. Meanwhile, the threat evolves. A symbol appears. Then a second. Clues point to something beyond Caleb, a shadow network with ties to Rhyland’s early business dealings. As enemies close in, secrets unravel. Emery must decide if she can forgive Rhyland’s past, even while her own catches up. And Rhyland choose between control and vulnerability—because love isn’t a tech problem he can solve. It’s a risk he has to take. In the end, survival won’t be enough. They’ll have to choose each other.

Bounded In Chains To A Monster: Trapped In His Cage

On the cliff, the kidnappers held their knives to her and Elise’s necks. “You can only choose one,” they said. “I choose her,” the man pointed to his Elise. Kelsey trembled. “Rhett, I’m pregnant.” Rhett lifted his eyes without any emotion. “Elise is afraid of heights.” …Many years later. They say Rhett, the most powerful man in Spring City, is always standing at his ex-wife’s door, doing everything just to please her, even if she never looks at him. They say Rhett almost died in front of Kelsey’s door the night she brought another man home. Everyone envies Kelsey, but she just smiles and says, “Don’t die at my doorstep. I don’t want it to get dirty.” What nobody knows is that Rhett is obsessed with her. He doesn’t just want her body. He wants to control her completely, her heart, her mind, and even her soul. He will never let her go. --- Excerpt – Chapter 81: "Kelsey, You Are Mine" She pushed him away, but Rhett didn’t care about her resistance. He kicked open the door and threw her onto the sofa with a loud thud. Kelsey felt a sharp pain in her back and sat up, but the room was dark. Rhett’s tall figure made a scary shadow. He looked cold and didn’t care about anything. Kelsey was shaking. “Rhett, what do you want?” “I want YOU. Don’t you understand?” Rhett stepped closer. He didn’t turn on the lights. He just stared at Kelsey’s face in the dark. It was hard to see what he was thinking. “I told you to wait here for me for just a few days. How did you mess that up?” He was already in front of her. His tall body made Kelsey step back, but Rhett grabbed her wrist and pulled it hard. He grabbed her neck, making her look straight into his eyes. “I told you to stay away from that man. Did you ignore me?” Kelsey knocked his hand away. “We don’t have anything to do with each other anymore! You have no right to tell me what to do!” “Oh really? I have no right?” Rhett’s eyes suddenly turned darker, and he grabbed her tighter. He only let go when Kelsey made a pained face. Her eyes were full of tears. He sneered, “You two looked really close. He opened the car door for you, fastened your seatbelt, and even covered your head.” “Are you touched by that? Kelsey, how can you be so cheap...” His breath was hot next to her ear as he spoke. If she turned her head, she could see his cold, gloomy eyes. She tried to escape from his grip, but he held her even tighter. “Kelsey, you can only be mine.” Rhett pushed her hard against the wall. His eyes were full of fire and anger. He lifted her chin and kissed her hard. Only when he felt her soft lips did his anger calm down a little, like when they looked like a real family of three before. But that warm feeling wasn’t supposed to be on Kelsey. No one else should ever make her feel that way. No other man.
