Her secrets are chasing her. His are waiting to catch up. Moving in with my older brother was supposed to be a clean slate. A chance to outrun the past I've worked so hard to bury. Then I met Maddox Ashley. My brother's best friend. My new roommate. And the walking storm I never saw coming. From the moment his dark eyes land on me, I know I've stepped into something dangerous. Maddox thrives in the very shadows I've spent years clawing my way out of. He's cold. Sharp. Unforgiving. And somehow, he sees straight through me. But he has secrets, too. Ones that might just be as twisted as mine. We come from different sides of the same darkness-scarred, silent, and steeped in things we can't name. His hatred toward me burns with something deeper than anger. And I can't tell if he wants to destroy me... or save me. Two broken souls. One shared past. In a house full of tension and lies, the truth may be the deadliest thing we uncover. Written in first pov + dual pov

Following her release from the hospital after almost dying, she's left to pick up the pieces of her life alongside her daughter Jade. The one thing she wasn't expecting was the sexy doctor who stayed by her side while she was in a coma and is now there to help her as she restarts her life. Haruto Sato didn't expect to get attached to Julia, a patient who stayed in the hospital and a patient he had the duty to keep an eye on for his friend. Although they haven't known one another for long, something about Julia continues to make Haruto drawn towards her. But the moment of peace doesn't last when Jade's father steps back into the picture, who after years of leaving them behind is demanding custody of their daughter claiming Julia's life is unstable for their kid. When Haruto suggests having a marriage of convenience between the two of them to show she has some stability Julia jumps on the idea. What happens when Haruto starts to be something more to Julia, more than a fake husband? Can Julia win the case without losing her daughter?
