Sarah Suarez was doing her best to survive adulthood, which was hard when life kept acting like a full-time hater. After discovering her fiancé's affair with her former friend, publicly humiliating half the people at a reunion party, and losing the carefully crafted version of herself in one disastrous night, Sarah is forced to start over from scratch. Again. With a sick mother to care for, bills piling up, and a future hanging by a thread, the last thing she needs is Henry Salva: a dangerously handsome CEO with too much money, too many secrets, and a habit of appearing whenever her life falls apart. Henry is calm, composed, and emotionally impossible to read. A man who terrifies boardrooms without raising his voice, and should have nothing in common with someone like Sarah, yet somehow, their paths keep crossing. From drunken disasters and emotional breakdowns to late-night conversations and dangerously blurred boundaries, Sarah finds herself drawn to the one man she knows she should avoid. But healing is never simple, especially when old wounds, buried truths, jealous exes, and the ghosts of Henry's past threaten to destroy whatever is growing between them. *trigger warning: has minor PTSD episodes.

[[2x WATTPAD FEATURED STORY]] Leandra Sienna Macheras is the daughter of the city's Godfather, the leader of the most powerful mob family in town. But her world is shaken as a new criminal organization, known as The Hydra, rises to challenge her family's dominance. Headed by five men who quickly rose in the underground ranks, The Hydra is determined to dismantle the Macheras' empire and rebuild the city under their rule. What they don't expect is the undeniable pull of Sienna, whose allure becomes a weapon none of them can resist. As Sienna begins to see the dark truth behind her father's regime and confronts the desires she's long suppressed, she and her friends switch sides-teaming up with The Hydra to overthrow the old guard. Together, they set out to remake the city's criminal underworld... and enjoy every dangerous, thrilling moment of it. This is mainly a reverse harem, but it's not the sole focus. It's a character-driven story of moral grayness. It also delves into themes of human trafficking, abuse, sexual violence, and others (see warnings below). Yet it also explores friendships, families, and LGBTQ+ scenes and storylines. So prepare for one hell of a ride.
