The Parent Trap // Frank Castle

He has two kids, a dead wife, and absolutely no interest in getting married again. He’s spent nearly a decade raising his children alone, and as far as he’s concerned, his family is perfectly complete. No dating. No complications. No women getting attached. And definitely no second wife. You have an eleven-year-old niece, an unexpected custody arrangement, and the deeply unfortunate responsibility of regularly interacting with Frank Castle—the most stubborn, insufferable asshole you’ve ever met. You don’t like him. He doesn’t particularly like you. Unfortunately, your girls are best friends, which means avoiding each other is practically impossible. And somewhere between sleepovers, school events, and the occasional reluctant family dinner, Lisa Castle has decided that you’re exactly what her family is missing. And your niece, Becca, happens to agree that having Frank around permanently wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. So the girls hatch a plan. A remarkably elaborate, increasingly ridiculous plan to make their parents fall in love.

“I was doing just fine before you two showed up.” Jackson Callahan has been out of prison for twelve days. He’s already punched two people, broken a kettle, and received a noise complaint from the woman next door. That would be you. A single mother raising your four-year-old daughter, Daisy, after losing her father. Jackson is thirty-three, six-foot-four, heavily tattooed, permanently furious, and spectacularly unqualified to interact with children. Unfortunately, Daisy hasn’t received that information. She thinks his tattoos are drawings, his eleven-year prison sentence was an exceptionally long time-out, and his apartment is the perfect location for a princess tea party. Jackson thinks you’re both a pain in his ass. He also thinks your daughter is a tiny menace. So why is there a pink plastic teacup in his kitchen? Why does he keep every drawing she gives him? And why is the man who spent eleven years behind bars suddenly terrified of losing the two people living next door? He wasn’t looking for a family. He wasn’t even looking for a girlfriend. And he certainly wasn’t looking to fall in love with a woman who calls him a terrible influence and a four-year-old who insists he makes an excellent daddy dinosaur. 🎀 𝐌𝐑. 𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐎𝐍⛓️

And makes it abundantly clear that he has absolutely no intention of replacing her. Especially not with you. Unfortunately, the Initiative doesn’t care about his feelings. Or yours. Now you’re living together under constant surveillance, expected to perform the role of a happily married couple while privately despising one another. And when you discover that couples who fail their compatibility evaluations have a habit of disappearing, pretending becomes a matter of survival. He doesn’t want a wife. You don’t want a husband. But the government expects you to fall in love. So you make a deal. Play the happy couple. Pass the evaluations. Find a way out. Simple enough. Except somewhere between staged affection, whispered escape plans, and the terrifying realization that you’re beginning to care, the line between performance and reality starts to blur.

Society whispers that you murdered the Earl. Suitors want your fortune. Someone wants you dead. The only man willing to stand beside you is the cold, scarred Marquess who swore he’d never marry.

Theodore Nott was dead. Y/N was left behind with nothing but unanswered questions, a broken heart, and the child growing inside her. She refuses to let Theo’s death go unanswered. Determined to uncover the truth, Y/N begins digging into the secrets surrounding his murder—and quickly discovers that the man she loved had a darker side she never knew existed. Then there’s Mattheo Riddle. Dangerous. Arrogant. Mysterious. The last person Y/N should trust. Yet somehow, he becomes the person she can’t stay away from. As revenge slowly turns into something far more complicated, Y/N finds herself falling for the one man who may know more about Theo’s death than he’s willing to admit.

𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫

As a man who had been in the presence of death for centuries, the Undertaker knew how to recognize the different forms of grief when people came before him. But based on his years of experience, the noble woman standing before him showed no signs of grief. After all, in those days, a widow was better off than a divorced woman. So that intrigued him.

A Don, A Bride and A Dangerous Woman.

The Wizarding World has three rules. Never trust the Ministry. Never cross the old pure-blood families. And never marry a woman more dangerous than yourself. Unfortunately for Mattheo Riddle, he’s about to break the third. Y/N is no ordinary witch. She’s a pure-blood with a ruthless reputation, an empire of her own, and enough blood on her hands to make even the darkest wizards think twice. She doesn’t need a husband, a protector, or anyone’s permission. But when a marriage contract forces her to become the wife of Britain’s most feared magical Don, two criminal empires collide—and neither is willing to bow. Mattheo expects obedience. Y/N offers him a challenge. He wants to possess her. She refuses to be owned. And somewhere between their arguments, dangerous games, and undeniable attraction, obsession begins to look suspiciously like love. Yet the Riddle estate holds more than secrets and power. Mattheo has two children who need someone they can trust, and Y/N knows what it means to grow up without the love every child deserves. Slowly, she becomes their safe place without ever demanding to be called mother. Unfortunately, Pansy Parkinson—the woman who believed she would become Mrs. Riddle—isn’t prepared to watch another woman take her place. Behind her perfect smile lies a dangerous jealousy, and she’s determined to reclaim the future she believes belongs to her. But Pansy has made one fatal mistake. She thinks Y/N’s kindness makes her weak.
