Dick, Marjorie and Fidge: A Search for the Wonderful Dodo by G. E. Farrow

I was the secret pen pal of Xavier Falcone, the ruthless Heir to the Syndicate. We spent six months trading ciphers and falling in love in the dark. But my half-sister Natalie stole my burner phone and claimed my identity as his "Canary." When I ran through the pouring rain to his territory to tell him the truth, his eyes were devoid of mercy. He believed her lies about my jealousy and handed me over to his men without a second thought. He locked me in his heavily guarded penthouse and forced a laced glass of vintage scotch down my throat. The cramping started ten minutes later, blood soaking through my white dress as he killed our unborn child. "A rat does not deserve to bear my blood." He stood over me with a blank, aristocratic face, mocking me as I bled out on his cold marble floor. Until my last breath, I didn't understand how the man who wrote me such tender words could be so heartless. Why did he refuse to recognize my soul? Why did he leave me to die so brutally in the dark? Opening my eyes again, I was back on the day Natalie pointed a gun at me to steal my phone. This time, I didn't fight back. "Take the phone, Natalie. It is yours." I handed over the man I loved and signed a contract to marry Gabriel Romano, the most lethal architect of death in the Underworld. In this life, I would rather marry a true monster than ever look at Xavier Falcone again.

For three years, I was Dante Moretti's secret. I was the Underboss's property, the cure for a violent curse that plagued him. He promised that if he wasn't married by his twenty-fifth birthday, I would be his bride. But on the eve of that birthday, he ended our arrangement. He brought home another woman, Sienna, and introduced me as "the help." Sienna, with feigned innocence, knocked a precious memento from my hand, shattering it. When I confronted her, Dante slapped me twice in public, the humiliation searing my soul. Later, I discovered Sienna had framed me for kidnapping her, a lie Dante readily believed. To force a confession, he had my mother tied in a sack and thrown into the freezing lake to drown. He left her there to die. That was the moment the girl who loved him died, too. I saved my mother, and we fled the country, seeking refuge with my childhood friend, Julian. I thought I had escaped. But then Dante appeared in Australia, begging for forgiveness. I rejected him, choosing a future with Julian. I thought it was over. Until a car, driven by a vengeful Sienna, barreled towards us. The last thing I saw was Dante throwing himself in front of me, taking the full impact.

Humiliated, angry, and done believing in forever, Ivy swears she'll never be that vulnerable again. Then Damian Blackwood steps in. Ruthless. Possessive. A man who doesn't ask, he takes. His offer is simple, his tone is not: Marry me. A contract. Strict rules. No love. No questions. But Ivy quickly learns one thing. Damian doesn't share. Not his power. Not his control. And definitely not what he considers his. What was supposed to be a cold, calculated arrangement turns suffocatingly intense. The way he watches her. The way he touches her. The way his voice drops when he says, "You're mine, Ivy." It's not part of the contract. And neither is the jealousy that burns in his eyes when her past comes crawling back, begging for a second chance. Because Damian doesn't believe in love... But he believes in possession. And once he's claimed something, he never lets it go. As secrets unravel and the truth behind their marriage begins to surface, Ivy realizes she didn't just sign a contract. She signed herself over to a man who would destroy anyone who tries to take her away... even if that means destroying her too. When the contract ends, one question remains: Will Ivy walk away with her heart intact... or will Damian make sure she never leaves at all?

However their love will have to endure the test of their denial, Henry's ruthless family and the world. *** He looked away, a failed attempt to hide the wide smile on his face. He loved the fact that he could elicit such a reaction from her. His fingers drummed against the table beside him, causing the tray on it to slightly shake. “How did you sleep?” She dramatically cleared her throat. “Quite well, I guess. And you?” When she looked up at him, her eyes held questions that he had answers to, but of course, he was going to tease her a bit and make her squirm. He loved to see her turn red from embarrassment. “Your breakfast is getting cold. I did not think you were going to be asleep for so long…” Her eyes widened in what was unmistakably elation. “Thank you." She proceeded to get out of bed, the blankets fell to the ground, and then she looked down at herself. She was clad in sheer blood-red lacy lingerie. It was shaped like a corset and clung tightly to her, accentuating her figure. It was a flowery pattern barely covering her body. The low-cut breast cup of the lingerie did not help as it only pushed up her breasts, making them appear bigger than they were. She feared if she bent slightly they would spill out from the flimsy hold of the lingerie. Henry did not think she could turn any redder than that, but then there she was. Her eyes widened like saucers, her mouth hung open. From her expression, he could tell her thoughts were all over the place with speculations of what had happened last night. He loved the fact that the look on her face was not one of disgust or regret. She was shy to look him in the eye. She opened her mouth to speak but decided against it. “You might be wondering what happened last night?” he asked, amusement clear in his tone. He got to his feet and covered the distance between them. The bed dipped at the point where he got on it. Ashley couldn’t look him in the eye. She was shy, to say the least. Of course, she had thought about it with Henry. Heck, she had even looked forward to it. Now, faced with the reality that it might have happened, she couldn’t look him in the eye. Could it, though? She asked herself. He had said before that if it ever happened… “I told you before that when it happens…” he slowly caressed her face with the back of his fingers. “…no amount of alcohol would make you forget it…” She let out an involuntary gasp when he leaned towards her, his tongue darted out and tickled her earlobe...

And in the silence of the sea, she will rewrite not just her fate, but her voice, her art, and the echoes of others who need a place to begin again.
