Xia Knight is a charismatic bakery-owner. She is an optimist who believes in the healing power of a smile. But never test her waters; if you do, you better hope that you know how to swim. Ricardo Ramirez is a name that can make anyone tremble in fear, being the name of the mysterious, cold-hearted Don of the Mexican mafia. It's a name that is feared all over the world, although nobody knows how he looks like. The people who do know him, don't dare to defy him; he is known to be arrogant and relentless. He gets what he wants and has no respect for anyone besides his family, including his four-year-old son. When both father and son grow closer to Xia, the little Ramirez makes sure that no kid got her affection other than him and Ricardo makes sure that no man, other than him, would look at her. He has eyes for a woman and one woman alone. She is all that matters to him and he will protect her with all that he has. When their lives intertwine, will she change him for the better? Will he let his guard down after experiencing a miserable past? Will Xia be the bright ray of sunshine in Ricardo's dark and stormy clouds?

Andy Hopper already had enough to deal with. She hated her mom's new boyfriend, she was still grieving the death of her sister, and she hadn't seen her dad in years. The last thing she needed was to be packed up and shipped off to the small town of Hawkins, Indiana to live with said dad. And she certainly didn't need to deal with the mouthbreather Steve Harrington as her desk buddy or the stupid and giddy way he made her feel. It was about time for some damage control. (S1- )

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 , after a decade apart, Hollywood actor Drew Starkey returns to his hometown and unexpectedly crosses paths with Cameron Jade, now the newly appointed Editor-in-Chief of Vanity Fair magazine. Once inseparable childhood best friends turned first loves, they shared a deep, undeniable connection until life pulled them in opposite directions. They broke up after high school, chasing their dreams and leaving their past, and each other, behind. Now, forced together by their meddling mothers, the reunion is anything but smooth. Cameron is caught off guard by Drew's return, and despite the years apart, the tension between them is undeniable. Drew feels himself slipping back into the past, the way Cameron's laughter once felt like home, the way she always understood him better than anyone else. But while he is drawn to the familiarity of what they had, Cameron is hesitant, afraid to reopen wounds that never fully healed. As they navigate familiar streets and old memories, late-night conversations turn into something deeper, and the line between past and present begins to blur. But with Drew's life still rooted in Hollywood and Cameron's career just taking off, they must face the question they avoided all those years ago. Is love worth the risk, or are they destined to remain a beautiful what-if?

Rosalie Pritchett has always been the baby of the family-bright-eyed, a little naïve, and completely unaware of just how much attention she draws. At 18, she's stepping into the world with dreams bigger than her small, sheltered bubble and a heart wide open to possibility. Enter Rule Bradford-nineteen, reckless on the waves but steady on his feet, a rising star in the surfing world with a protective streak a mile wide. When he meets Rosalie in Hawaii, her sunshine soul and sweet awkwardness hit him harder than any wave ever could. She's innocent. He's jaded. She sees the good in everything. He sees the storms before they come. But somehow, she makes him want to believe again. As summer burns on, Rule realizes the real danger isn't the ocean-it's falling for the one girl he's not sure he deserves. OC x OC
