ANCHOR OF HEARTS

Selina is born as the illegitimate daughter of the prestigious Everett family and cast out into a harsh world, left to survive alone. Living in disguise to blend in and escape the shadow of her stained reputation, she tries to lead an ordinary life. Somewhere along the way, she falls in love at first sight with a young man. But her feelings remain a secret—tucked away quietly—until he leaves overseas, and she’s left yearning for his return. And so, she waits. Three years later, her secret crush returns and Selina believes this is her chance to finally share her feelings. At his welcome-back banquet, a twist of fate leads them into a one-night stand. But Zane doesn’t return as the man she once admired—he comes back cold, distant, and utterly ruthless. This time, he carries revenge in his heart—against her father, the Everett family, and Selina herself. As the storm of his vengeance erupts, Selina finds her world collapsing, left isolated and shattered while trying to protect her father. And then fate deals its cruelest hand. Selina discovers she’s pregnant with Zane’s child. She doesn’t want the baby—but Zane insists it must be born. Seeing a way to end his all-consuming revenge, Selina proposes a deal: she’ll carry the child, and in return, he will let go of his dark intentions. With her feelings buried deep, Selina begins a journey through pregnancy, healing, and reclaiming her identity—navigating secrets, betrayals and the tangled legacy of her family. But as she learns to reclaim herself, she also begins to uncover something unexpected: The man who once seemed dangerous and cold-hearted reveals a side of himself no one else has ever seen. Is this just about the baby—or is something deeper taking root between them? Will their deal end as they intended? Or will fate play its teasing game once again? --- Note: This is a slow-burn romance, not a dark romance. There’s no abuse, rape, or cheating between the main couple. Selina’s suffering from his revenge outcome only lasts for a few chapters before she steps fully into her own powerful journey. I hope you enjoy and support Selina's journey ಠ⁠ᴥ⁠ಠ

She must share his bed every full moon and give him her soul. Princess Beatrice is skeptical but reluctantly agrees.... ******************** Excerpt******************** Even in her dream she couldn't shake her fear or apprehension of him. If anything, it felt magnified. "Tell me, demon, did you send that monster to kill William?" His expression went cold at the mention of the other man's name. "Who is that?" He smirked. She knew by his jealous reaction that it was him who sent the Black Knight, and he in fact, knew who William was. The shock of the truth sunk in. She became angry and started slapping the demon and pounding on his muscular unmoving chest. "How could you! Have you no shame! He could have died!" "Shame? I am the King of Demons, I have no shame in anything I do or with anyone I do it with." She shot him a look because of his overtly sexual connotation. She tried to slap him again, but he caught her by her wrist and pulled her her petite frame up against him, then kissed her hard. She was no match for his weapon. She felt her anger at him dissipating as a warm and fuzzy feeling began to wash over her completely. Her lips, ended up kissing him back and she wanted to taste more and more of him. She didn't know what had gotten into her and chalked it up to her being in a dream. She broke the kiss. His hands gently ran up and down the sides of her body. His hands were exquisite. "Please, demon. You must stop touching me like this," She said. "Why? I like touching you." "Be-because I can't think straight when you do." She confessed. "You don't have to think when you're with me, I will always take care of you... in and out of bed." His lips kissed her clavicle bone. "Please..." She pleaded. His sweet kisses were driving her to sweet agony. "Forget the Knight, Princess Beatrice and be mine. All mine..."
