The Hired Daughter

Sophie Carter thought her life had hit rock bottom the night Daniel (the man she loved) abandoned her, leaving her pregnant and terrified. With nowhere to turn, Sophie is forced into hiding to protect her unborn child from Daniel’s threats. But when her son is born with a rare and life-threatening disease, Sophie’s desperation pushes her to the edge. Enter Alex Grant: a wealthy, broken man whose world crumbled after discovering that the son he raised for 22 years was never truly his; an unforgivable betrayal by his wife, Veronica, who had hidden the truth of her affair for decades. Hungry for revenge and aching with emptiness, Alex devises a plan: hire Sophie to pose as his long-lost daughter from an old affair, hoping to shatter Veronica’s perfect world just as she shattered his. Motivated by her son’s illness and the promise of financial salvation, Sophie agrees to the twisted deal, never imagining how deep the deception would cut. As Sophie is drawn into the opulent, turbulent life of the Grant family, she finds herself entangled not only in Alex’s schemes but also in an unexpected connection with him, a bond that threatens to blur the lines between truth and fiction, loyalty and love. While Sophie struggles to keep her real identity hidden, Veronica refuses to accept the sudden appearance of this “daughter,” doing everything in her power to uncover Sophie’s secrets and drive her out. Surrounded by lies, betrayals, and a dangerous game of appearances, Sophie must fight for her child, her heart, and ultimately, her own place in a world that never wanted her. In a dangerous game where everyone is hiding secrets, how far will Sophie go to protect her son—and herself—without losing everything she holds most dear?

Substitute Wife For The Blind CEO

On the day of her wedding, Ivy Quinn vanishes, leaving behind only a note: "I’m sorry, I can't marry a blind man." To protect her son from heartbreak, Elizabeth Winters strikes a desperate deal—Ruby, Ivy’s identical twin, must take her sister’s place at the altar. Trapped by duty and family pressure, Ruby agrees, believing it will only last until Stefan’s eyesight is restored. But from the moment they marry, Stefan senses something is different about his "wife." The woman beside him is nothing like the shallow fiancée he once knew. She’s sharp, resilient, and understands his business in a way Ivy never did. Against all odds, he falls harder than ever for this new version of her. And Ruby? She never expected to fall in love with a man who was never meant to be hers. But just when she finds the courage to tell him the truth, Ivy returns, ready to reclaim the life she abandoned. When Stefan finally opens his eyes, will he see the woman who truly stood by him—or will he be too blind to recognize real love? ****Excerpt**** “By the way, did Ruby come to the wedding?” he asked, catching her off guard since she hadn't expected him to ask her that all of a sudden. Was he already suspecting that it was her and not Ivy? Ruby’s fingers froze on the door handle for just a fraction of a second. It was enough to set off alarms in Stefan's head. “I—uh…” She hesitated, but only briefly. “No. She had work. She couldn’t make it.” Was he suspecting a switch already? What must have set off the alarm in his head? Stefan hummed, tilting his head slightly. “Oh, I see. How is she, then? I hope she's coming to visit one of these days?” Her fingers tightened on the handle, though her voice remained steady. “Yeah. She would, the moment she is chanced and can come.” A slow smirk tugged at the corner of Stefan’s lips, though he kept his expression neutral. Interesting. Very interesting. His wife had just lied to him and he didn't know why. Even though he was blind, he'd find out why soon enough.

Reborn a Girl, So I Became Queen

I died as a man and woke up in the broken body of a noble girl named Seraphina… beaten, discarded, and left to die by her own family. I didn’t ask for this second chance, but that doesn't mean I never wanted one, and I definitely didn’t ask to come back as female. Every step in this unfamiliar world is dangerous. Nobles lie with smiles, and power decides who lives or dies. I’ve never been more vulnerable in all my life. But somehow… I survived because he found me. Noah Velmoure. The cold and terrifying Archduke. A man feared across the kingdom for his ruthlessness is now the one person who swears he’ll protect me with everything he has. Noah's powerful enough to crush empires, and for some reason, he looks at me like I’m the only thing that matters. He calls me beautiful, holds me like I’ll break, and touches me like I’m his world. Does everything I ask or makes people disappear who interfere with my life. But I used to be a man, and he’s… still a man. Can I accept this type of relationship? Even though a part of me denies any feelings for Noah, the other part wants to just give in. How long will I be able to stay in a state of limbo before I fall? All I know for sure is I want to survive in this new life where at least one person thinks of me as their world, and as much as I want to push him away… I’ve never felt safer than when he's by my side. *** This story is fully in the first person POV of Seraphina. I wont be jumping around at all and the reader will only understand what she knows. I've already completed the rough draft of the entire novel, so look forward to a completed book after edited. This story was by far my favorite to write and can't wait for everyone else to enjoy it. Check out my patreon if you want faster chapters. I will be publishing the story ten to fifteen chapters ahead. https://www.patreon.com/c/KitsuneGary9
