" I think love, do you know what love is?" Cara asked making me shift uncomfortably in my seat and my relaxed posture turning rigid. I straightened up as I stared right into her eyes ready to answer her. " I don't love love, I love passion. Such passion that knows no bounds, such passion that is limitless. Do you know what the limit of love is? When it meets, it becomes an attraction, an attraction that turns into a bond, a bond that takes the color of love, love that stands on trust, and trust that is greater than worship, and passion that leads to death." I said Elara Zeigner is the CEO of fashion & the city company where she meets Cara Russell her assistant and develops unexpected feelings towards her.

Luna Aelia Robles had it all, beauty, brilliance, and the kind of poise that made people turn their heads. The eldest daughter of a powerful business magnate, she carried the name "Robles" like both a crown and a curse. When she entered Westbridge University, the country's most elite institution known for producing topnotchers in Law, Medicine, and other prestigious fields, students from across the nation dream of studying here, where brilliance is both a standard and a challenge. Aelia was determined to make her own name, to excel in Law, to prove that her achievements weren't built on her family's wealth. But fate had other plans. Fate takes an unexpected turn when Aelia crosses paths with Professor Gracie Green, the university's most sophisticated and feared woman. A brilliant mind, a multimillionaire, and a symbol of power and grace, Professor Green is as untouchable as she is intimidating.

As Aelia and Gracie find themselves caught between admiration and desire, both are forced to confront a truth they've long ignored, the confusion of wanting something society told them they shouldn't. In a world where perfection is demanded and appearances mean everything, desire becomes the most forbidden lesson of all.

One girl, haunted by demons she never asked for. One girl, holding onto a dream with bleeding hands. One girl, clinging to a life she never was supposed to survive. One girl-and one infuriating woman she was never meant to meet. Aurora Winters, 18, soft-spoken and sweet like spring rain, begins her second last first day of senior year. The wreckage of a car crash last Christmas stole what little safety she had left-leaving her in the bitter care of an aunt who never wanted her and a man who only knows cruelty. Bruised, quiet, alone and unraveling, Aurora is trying to survive the storm. But survival becomes complicated when a certain woman enters the picture. Valentina M. Harlow, 37, new to this part of town, new to the school, old to the weight of the world. Once a sweet girl who ached to be seen, now a woman shaped by silence and cold resolve. Sharp-tongued, guarded, emotionally untouchable, manipulative and entirely disinterested in attachments. She is the oldest daughter who walked away-from blood and businesses, from love, from everything that broke her. It's been seven years since she last let herself feel. And she likes it that way. Until Aurora. What begins as uneasy glances and sharp conversations becomes something far harder to ignore. Valentina sees the pain in the girl's eyes. The bruises beneath the surface. And suddenly, the woman who feels nothing is faced with a choice: walk away as she always has, or reach out-risking everything. This is a tale of longing and danger, where hearts shatter, wounds heal, and reopen. Again and again. A story of two women who were never meant to orbit, yet crash into each other anyway. A story of it all. Of longing that feels like ruin. Of aching that feels like home. Of broken things that refuse to stay broken. A slow unraveling, a dangerous pull. A love that could save-or destroy-them both. Maybe they'll piece themselves back together. And set the world on fire, together.
