You're not supposed to want your best friend's brother. Skylar knows that better than anyone, yet she can't seem to ignore the way Damian looks at her. He's calm, a little intense and watches her as if he's physically unable to look away. He's wanted her from the moment she was introduced as his sister's best friend- and when an accidental text is sent his way, everything changes. Those stares grow longer. His need for her intensifies. Skylar can feel it, and with temptation thick in the air, she no longer knows how to stay away- even if staying away was the only thing she was ever supposed to do.

Prapti was the kind of girl everyone called a "baddie" confident, beautiful, bold, and always surrounded by attention. But behind her perfect image was a girl completely unlucky in love. Every relationship she had ever been in ended with cheating, lies, and heartbreak, until she finally stopped believing in love altogether. Then came Yuvraj. Quiet, nerdy, awkward, and the complete opposite of her world. What Prapti didn't know was that Yuvraj had been her one-sided lover for years, loving her silently from afar without expecting anything in return. Their story began with a fake relationship. Prapti needed a boyfriend to get rid of her toxic ex, and Yuvraj agreed instantly, even knowing his feelings for her were real. At first, everything between them was just an act...fake dates, fake texts, fake smiles for the world. But slowly, things changed. The more time they spent together, the more Prapti realized Yuvraj loved her differently. Gently. Purely. He listened to her, stayed during her worst moments, and cared for her in ways nobody else ever had. For the first time, love felt safe instead of painful. And somewhere between pretending and healing, their fake relationship became real. While teaching Prapti what true love looked like, he was silently fighting the hardest battle of his own life. When she found out, her world shattered. Because the boy she once treated as temporary had become the only person who ever loved her sincerely. Yuvraj showed her that real love is not about grand promises....it's about staying, caring, and loving someone even when life is falling apart.

To every girl who was never chosen first. To every heart that learned to survive in silence. This story is for the ones who crave love so deep it feels like possession... because sometimes the darkest hearts love the hardest.

In our world, emotions are a weakness. A liability. A mistake. I learned that lesson young, watching my father rule with an iron fist, his heart nothing more than a rumor. I swore I'd never fall into the same trap-never let a woman tear me apart. And yet, here I am, standing at the altar, binding myself to a woman I barely know. A woman who despises me as much as I refuse to care for her. A contract. A deal. A promise sealed in blood. She is Katya Salifov-fierce, beautiful, and the daughter of my family's sworn enemy. And I am Ivan Yozhikov-heir to an empire built on violence, betrayal, and fear. This marriage isn't about love. It's about power. Control. Survival. But no matter how much I lock my heart away, something about her chips at the ice in my veins. A fire in her eyes that tempts me to break my own rules. And in this life, temptation is just another word for destruction. Welcome to our world. Where vows are made in blood, love is a dangerous game, and betrayal is the only truth.

He's the NHL star with a cold reputation--she's the spark that could melt it all. All Lilah wants to do is keep her head down, finish her online college course, chase her dreams of becoming a baker, and survive. But when a photo caught at the wrong time with the NHL's newest star, Cole Becker, goes viral, she's suddenly thrust into the limelight--exactly where she doesn't want to be. And when the person she tried so hard to escape from resurfaces because of her new popularity, Lilah has no choice to run to the safety of fame and Cole Becker as his fake-girlfriend. Because no one can lay a finger on the newest sweetheart of hockey, can they? But Cole makes her feel things she's never felt before and she wants nothing but to be loved by the boy that makes her feel beautiful and safe. Cole Becker needs an out, and fast. A stupid rumor built on absolutely nothing is threatening to destroy the reputation he's barely built. He's only a few games into his rookie NHL season and already he's been nicknamed the NHL's "Ice King;" scary, domineering, and arrogant. So when Lilah crashes her way into his world, he has no choice but to fake-date her, to both help his reputation, and to help the girl who's already got him wrapped around her finger. He wants to show her she's worthy of love. She wants to be loved by him. And when the lines between real and fake start to blur, Lilah has to let go of the secrets in her past holding her down and let herself love the goalie. But someone is lurking in the shadows, ready to steal Lilah away from the life she's tried so hard to build.
