Ten years ago, Iris Desmond was pushed out of his life--by the very people who claimed to love him the most. She was the wrong girl. The outsider. And when threats turned into ultimatums, she made the impossible choice to leave the only boy she ever loved. Levi Astor. Now, a decade later, he's standing in front of her again--wealthier, sharper, harder--and demanding answers she was forced to bury. Levi Astor built a life that finally makes sense. He has the business, the legacy, and a partner who fits into the Astor empire. The woman isn't just perfect in his world--but in his family's world as well. Celestine by his side is everything he thought he needed. But when the past resurfaces, Levi is forced to confront the price of silence. Forced to realize that he might have made mistakes. And now, he isn't sure if they're his to mend. Celestine Wentworth was told to love him--and somehow, it was effortless. She checks all the boxes for the Astor family. But even perfect boxes have edges. And when the ghost of Levi's first love threatens to unravel everything they've built, she can't help but wonder: she is the right choice for his family. The right choice for his business--the safer choice for his reputation. But still only one of the choices. So is she the right one for his heart?

Nora never wanted much. Just a steady home. Simple days. A life that held its shape. She didn't crave excitement or change. She only needed predictability. Her routines, her quiet, her small world. It was enough. She believed that if she kept everything perfectly still, the life she had built would hold. And for a long time, it did. But when the ground finally shifted under her feet, Nora didn't move with it. She froze in place, the way people do when they have no other direction to turn. Because where does a person go when they have nowhere to go? Warning: This story uses mature language and scenes. © IcecreamSundae5. All rights reserved.

SKYE: Falling for my boss was never part of the plan. But Rain Ashford wasn't just my boss - he was brilliance behind glasses, arrogance in a tailored suit, and the only man who ever looked at me like I was the only light in a world he'd forgotten could glow. Eight months of secrecy. Eight months of loving him behind closed doors. And I would've sworn what we had was unbreakable. I was wrong. Because all it took was an old flame with wandering eyes, one whisper of scandal, one shift in his loyalty - and suddenly the seams of us began to split. And when the pressure hit, when loyalties blurred and lines crossed, I realized the man who once steadied my nerves might become the one to shatter them. ⸻ RAIN: I spent years mastering discipline - building a life of structure, ambition, and control. Then Skye happened. Chaos. Color. Fire. I wanted her from the first day. I reached for her every second. And still, I managed to hurt her in ways I never meant to. Now she's gone - her sketches missing from my desk, her laughter missing from my days - and I'm left piecing together the mess I made. Loving her was the easy part. Winning back the woman whose trust I broke? That may be the hardest fight of my life.

That's all she did throughout the whole book! Using people as she wanted and then just dumping them! And it's all forgiven only because she's the main character. I hate her, not just because she is a manipulative person, but also because she broke Nick's heart so many times. When all he's ever done is help her. And also, the writer of this book tried to show Nick as the "Bad Boy" when he's actually the best character in the whole book. You might be wondering who I am and why the hell am I talking about a teenage high school cliche book. It's because I'm in it now. Hi, I'm Zee Thompson who magically got trapped inside a book. Saving Nick's heart wasn't exactly my mission in this world, but it is now. I'll do anything to make sure his heart doesn't break at the end of this. I hope mine doesn't break either. .............

I fell in love with Dante Moretti, never knowing he was once engaged to my older sister, Celeste Hart. It was the kind of secret that changed everything.

Two years after her world shattered, Alyssa Martins has finally found peace in the city that never sleeps. New York is her clean slate , a place where no one calls her the wife of Isaiah Martins, and where her daughter, Ray, is free to grow up away from flashing cameras and cruel headlines. Broadway became Alyssa's quiet redemption. Her nights are filled with rehearsals, small performances, and lullabies for the little girl who reminds her too much of the man she is trying to forget. But then, there's Jordan Campbell the celebrated Hollywood producer and now a Broadway visionary. He's charming, grounded, and everything Alyssa swore she would never let herself want again. He's been her anchor, her friend, and lately... something more. Yet Jordan carries secrets of his own one that could destroy the fragile life Alyssa has built. And when the past she buried in Los Angeles comes knocking again, everything she thought she escaped threatens to crumble. In a city built on dreams and second chances, Alyssa will have to decide what's worth forgiving... and what's worth letting go. Because some symphonies aren't meant to be finished - and some lies never stop echoing.

Ruin never wanted to be the villain in any story. But for years, Charlotte--no, Charlie--was his nightmare in glitter and tank tops. The club Prez's brat sister. The chaos in the corner of every room. She torched his patience, tampered with his relationships, and pined for him like he was hers. She teetered on the edge of slut and princess like she didn't know the difference. But now, she's back after months of banishment. Not the wide-eyed girl who once purred his name in his bed, but the woman who was left to burn alone--by everyone, including him. And damn it... he can't stop watching her rise from the ashes. Charlotte used to be the club's living headache. All smoke, eyeliner, and dangerously misled loyalty. Glory's shadow. Wolf's sister. Ruin's nightmare. She wore dysfunction like a badge--until it got her banished. Thrown out like trash by the only family she ever had. But peace was good. Peace worked. Until the same betrayal that wrecked her came hunting for the men who exiled her. Now she's back with no one left to beg for love. Not her brother. Not her father. Not even Ruin. Especially not Ruin. And this time? She doesn't want to be saved. She wants vindication.

Zach Westbrook was my best friend-and the boy I'd secretly loved since forever. Until he said the one thing I was never supposed to hear. So I did what any heartbroken, humiliated girl would do. I ghosted him. Ditched the university we both planned to attend. And left without looking back. Our friendship ended the day I left town. Or so I thought. Three years later, I'm back. Not because I want to be, but because family comes first-and unfortunately, that means transferring to Ridgewater University. The same school Zach owns like a second skin. Still hot. Still cocky. Still the campus golden boy with a hockey stick. And still the last person I want to deal with. But I'm not the shy, awkward girl he used to know. I've changed. I've moved on. I'm no longer the girl who used to follow him around like a lost puppy. This time, I'm not the one getting benched.

I've got one rule: I don't do relationships. Hookups? Sure. Anything real? Hell no. Love doesn't fix anything-it just screws you up. I'd know. I watched it wreck my family. As team captain of the Ridgewater Warriors, I've got a game plan: Keep it casual. Stay focused. Win games. Screw puck bunnies. Repeat. It's been working just fine. Until Samantha Westbrook showed up. My best friend's little sister. The same girl who's had a crush on me since she was ten. Now she's a freshman at Ridgewater U- and she's made it her full-time job to ruin my game. She's everywhere I go. Cockblocking every girl who so much as breathes near me. Smiling like she knows exactly what she's doing. And the worst part? She does. I've spent years brushing her off. Now I can't stop looking at her. She didn't just break my ice-she wrecked my whole damn game.

Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*
