Everyone fears Major Alexander Draven. At twenty-nine, he's the youngest Major to command an elite operations camp buried deep in the burning sands of Iraq - a man born from a dynasty of power and politics. His father runs corporations and elections alike. Alexander? He runs a battlefield like an empire - cold, precise, merciless. No soldier crosses him. No enemy survives him. No one touches him - until her. Lyra Brooks was never supposed to end up here. She's just the pretty army doctor with a smile too perfect to trust. Lyra knows how to stitch up bullet wounds but not her own scars. She keeps her heart locked away behind sarcasm and late-night drinks. But here she is, buried in blood and sand as a Field Surgical Resident with the U.S. Army Medical Corps. One drunken night. A bar miles from base. A man everyone fears and a woman who pretends she doesn't fear anything at all. One night of brutal, wordless heat neither of them ever mentioned again. Until now. When the two pink lines appear in the harsh white light of the medical tent, Lyra knows one thing for certain - Alexander Draven cannot find out. Not now. Not here, never. But war doesn't care about secrets. Danger doesn't care about mistakes. And Major Draven? He does not like being kept in the dark.

In a family shaped by shadows, her light might be their only hope - or their greatest weakness. When Elara's mother marries into the infamous Calviero family, her world changes overnight. At just fifteen, she's thrust into a dangerous realm ruled by her stepfather and seven lethal stepbrothers, each with a fierce role in the mafia empire. Elara stands out - not just for her striking platinum hair and mesmerizing heterochromia, but for her compassionate heart and unwavering strength. A talented figure skater, she moves with grace on the ice but must learn to navigate a far more perilous stage at home. Her brothers are wary at first - hardened by years of violence and betrayal - but slowly, their fierce loyalty begins to extend to her. As old rivalries reignite and hidden threats emerge, Elara must confront the darkness lurking not only within her family but also within herself. And when whispers of a long-buried secret begin to surface, everything Elara thought she knew about her past - and her future - comes into question. In a world where trust means the difference between life and death, Elara's kindness is both her greatest strength and her most dangerous vulnerability. The question is: can she survive this world without losing who she truly is?
