A grieving girl with a promise to keep. A boy she was never supposed to trust. A found family built on deadlines and chaos. And a story that deserves to be told. *** Avery Rayne Carreon didn't join the publication to make friends. She joined to become Editor-in-Chief-to write the editorial that would finally give her best friend's death the justice it deserved. The plan was simple. Keep her walls up, do the work, and let no one in. What she didn't plan for was the editorial board. Loud, chaotic, and annoyingly impossible to ignore, they are not what Rayne signed up for. But somewhere between missed deadlines, crazy coverage, and mid-night presswork, they start to feel like something she doesn't have a word for yet. And then there is Nash Dillon Cadogan. Talented, infuriating, and the only person standing between her and everything she came here for. He wasn't supposed to matter. She wasn't supposed to let him in. Yet she is running out of reasons not to. Everyone leaves eventually. She knew that better than anyone. She just never counted on people stubborn enough to stay.

Princess Sumaguban is twenty one, a nursing student, and the only girl in a family of law enforcement. Her father is a chief in the U.S. military, strict but deeply loving, and her uncles in the Philippines wear badges of their own. The kind of family that makes boys nervous before they even say hello. She has effectively had no boyfriend since birth. Not because she couldn't. But because she never wanted what boys her age offered. Too loud. Too careless. Too frat boy, all bravado and no backbone. She was named Princess for a reason. The only girl, fiercely protected, raised with discipline, expectations, and a future she took seriously. School came first. It always did. Her life is busy and full, split between nursing school and hospital rotations, running on caffeine, adrenaline, and stubborn optimism. One ordinary day, she sees him. Tall. Russian. Brown curls that refuse to behave. Glasses. Incredibly handsome. He doesn't smile. She can tell. Lips so luscious it throws her off balance, but she already knows a man like him belongs in a lab or an operating room, not standing this close to her, not close enough that she suddenly forgets how to breathe. She offers him a bite of her favorite snack. She knows she shouldn't have. But in that moment, she knows he takes more than a bite. He takes something that sinks into her chest, threading itself through a place that was never meant for anyone else.
