"So you didn't give me one. Don't you want to befriend me?" Oliver teased, with absolutely no expression on his face. If it weren't for his tone, I never would have guessed. "But you're my husband... my fake husband." My face scrunches in confusion, and he very slowly takes a step closer to me, and I immediately take one back I'm backed up and pinned between the wall and his very huge body. His left hand lands right above me on the wall, and his right one slowly snakes around my waist, and I shiver as a result. My eyes flutter closed, my breathing thickens as he bends until he's right in front of me. My heartbeat is going a thousand miles an hour as I feel his lips brush against my right earlobe. "Listen, and listen carefully, sweetheart," he whispers, his deep voice seeping trouble, and that nickname-I swear to God. "I am your fake nothing," he says, stressing the 'nothing,' his hot air fanning my neck. "Our marriage might've been a contract, but under no circumstances is what we have fake. You are my wife and will be until you have my fucking signature on the divorce papers. Got it?" With a shaky breath, I look up at him as I feel him pull his face away. __________ She was raised to follow the rules. He was born to break them. Sienna Martinez is the golden girl. Soft-spoken, smart, and graceful. She runs her family's business, keeps her reputation spotless, and avoids trouble until trouble walks in wearing a tailored suit and a devil's smirk. Oliver Salvatore is royalty, the next CEO of The Salvatore Group. Ruthless when needed, dangerously charming when he wants. Marriage was never in his plans until his brother and her sister ran away. But one year, one marriage, and one rule-don't fall in love-prove easier said than done. Especially when the girl he's been searching for fourteen years is the one standing right in front of him, and somewhere between the lies and the longing, they've already crossed the line.

Soon to be taken down Book 2 of the accardi series Can be read as a standalone - but I recommend reading the don saved me first ~ "What're you thinking about?" Asher asks, pushing my hair away from my face. "Just that... I was in a crisis of searching for the truth, but look where it led me. To you." ~ 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢, a 20 year old assassin for her mother and fathers mafia - top assassin actually. She's searching for the truth on her biological mother, if she's alive, if she ran away, what happened to her, anything she can possibly find. Her parents told her the truth, but it was only what they knew. 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞, a 21 year old guard in need of money. He takes this job as a guard despite knowing it could be dangerous. What he doesn't know is it is dangerous, there's no chances or risks it just is. He knows he works for some rich man too, but doesn't know the monster that he is - and happens to be Estrella's biological dad. Estrella hates Asher the moment she sees him, figuring if he works for this monster he's just the same. Asher would have no clue why she'd hate him up until he learns Arsenio's true colors, who he truly is. Things go too far one day when Estrella's searching for the truth, Asher swooping in to help her. She finally learns he's not a horrible person like her biological father is, teaming up with Asher as he knows more than she does. With truths hidden, people to find, fucked up chemistry, this surely has to be a happy love story. Totally... ~ "Ich liebe dich, Erdbeere," I murmur against her lips, secretly revealing something I'm too scared to tell her yet. "I love you too, Asher." I freeze, wondering how the hell she knew I said that. "You know German?" I pull away, embarrassed but the fact that she said I love you back also has me reeling. "I know lots of languages, Asher." She giggles, pulling me back to her lips. "Now, keep kissing me."

Coz he was sunshine, she was midnight rain --- Ivy Kennedy She's a legend before twenty-Hollywood's golden girl, the youngest self-made billionaire, and a model who owns every runway she walks. Ruthless. Unbreakable. A force of nature. The world sees the power, the perfection, the girl who always gets what she wants. But Ivy Kennedy is nothing like the image they adore. Beneath the flashing cameras and cold confidence is a girl drowning in the silence of her own battles. A girl who built her walls too high . A girl who doesn't believe in love, or people who stay. And then, there's him. Lucas Miller With his voice sweeter than honey and his easy smile and fake confidence, Luca is the kind of guy who never has to try. Girls fall at his feet, drawn to the effortless charm, the soft-spoken mystery, the boy who seems to have it all. And he lets them believe that. It's easier that way. Because no one really sees him. No one looks past the playful smirk, the smooth words, the perfectly curated image. No one notices the weight he carries, the past he keeps buried beneath laughter and late-night escapades. No one-except her. Ivy Kennedy doesn't fall for his charm, doesn't play along with his carefully built persona. She sees the cracks beneath the surface. And for the first time, Luca feels exposed. She's a storm, reckless and untouchable. He's sunlight, warm but distant. But maybe-just maybe-she's the only one who can stand in his light without looking away.
