Adrian Vale hated everyone. Or at least, that was what I believed. He was arrogant, impossible, and cruel enough to make me wish I'd never met him. But every once in a while, the walls slipped-and I caught a glimpse of the man underneath. The man who noticed everything. The man who looked at me like he wanted me, then punished us both for it. Falling for Adrian Vale was a terrible idea. Unfortunately, my heart didn't seem particularly interested in good ones.

Vivienne Laurent has spent her entire life making perfection look effortless. On the ice, every movement is controlled. Off it, the twenty-one-year-old figure skater moves through Parisian high society with designer heels, a sharp tongue, and absolutely no patience for anything loud, dirty, or unpredictable. Then her best friend drags her to an illegal street race. That is where Vivienne collides-quite literally-with Nicolas Devereaux. Nicolas is twenty-three, French-Monegasque, infuriatingly attractive, and far too comfortable with danger. He races through the night like consequences are merely suggestions, wears arrogance better than most men wear tailored suits, and seems to enjoy getting under Vivienne's skin. She thinks he is reckless. He thinks she is spoiled. Neither intends to see the other again. Unfortunately, Vivienne's best friend is secretly involved with Nicolas's best friend. Their wealthy families already move through the same circles, and one disastrous introduction turns into shared dinners, private events, unwanted trips, and far too many moments alone together. Hatred becomes chemistry. Chemistry becomes an arrangement. No feelings. No labels. No promises. It should be simple-until Nicolas starts looking at Vivienne like she is more than another challenge to win, and she begins discovering the man beneath the speed, arrogance, and dangerous habits. She lives for control. He lives for freedom. And some collisions leave neither person untouched. More than a love story. A collision of everything.

If someone offers to pay off your student loans in exchange for signing a non-disclosure agreement and moving into the middle of nowhere, you should probably ask more questions. I didn't. I was a broke grad student desperate for a lifeline, and the contract offered by the elusive billionaire was too good to pass up. My job was simple: live in a sprawling, heavily fortified glass mansion in the mountains, teach his eight-year-old daughter French and mathematics, and never, ever go into the West Wing of the house. I thought my new boss was just an eccentric, reclusive tech genius. He is devastatingly handsome, entirely silent, and moves through the mansion like a predatory ghost. He watches me with cold, pale eyes that make my pulse race for all the wrong reasons, but he is a devoted father, and the paychecks clear every week. I thought I was safe in his snowbound sanctuary. Until the night I accidentally wake up, walk into the wrong room, and see my quiet, eccentric boss standing over a man bleeding out on a plastic tarp, holding a suppressed pistol with the casual grace of a reaper. He isn't a tech genius. He is the head of the most ruthless Russo-American syndicate on the continent, and I have just seen exactly what he does in the dark. I know too much. I am a liability. I should be dead. But as the Don of the syndicate wipes the blood from his hands and locks the heavy steel doors of the mansion, trapping me inside with him, I realize that dying might have been the easier option. Because he doesn't want to silence me. He wants to keep me.

Zoe hated fantasy novels. Especially the dramatic ones with growling werewolves, ancient vampires, and "fated mates." So when her best friend forces her to read one, she finishes it out of pure loyalty, calls it ridiculous, and goes to sleep. The next morning? She wakes up as a vampire princess trapped inside the very book she read for three hours straight. Now everyone expects her to act elegant, mysterious, and deadly. Meanwhile, she's trying not to panic over: blood-drinking etiquette vampire politics missing memories and one terrifying hybrid wolf who keeps looking at her like she personally invented destiny. She wants to go home. He wants his mate. The universe, apparently, wants chaos.

At eight years old, Alexa Smith witnessed her neighbor kill a man. From the kitchen window of her family's apartment, she saw nineteen-year-old Elias Devereux dragging a body through the alley behind their building. Blood on his hands. A smile on his face. Calmness where fear should have been. And then he looked directly at her. Terrified he would come after her next, Alexa made a desperate choice to survive. She pretended to be blind. What began as a child's lie became her entire identity. For nineteen years, Alexa perfected the performance. The careful steps. The lowered gaze. The thick glasses and quiet demeanor convinced everyone around her that she could no longer see. Everyone believed her. Everyone except Elias. Now twenty-seven, Alexa has spent years away from home trying to escape the shadow of the boy next door. But after her mother's sudden death, she's forced to return to the one place she swore never to set foot in again. Only to discover Elias never left. Now thirty-eight, Elias Devereux is no longer the troubled teenager from the alley. He's wealthy, respected, dangerously charming, and loved by everyone in town. The perfect neighbor. The perfect gentleman. No one knows he became a serial killer. No one knows bodies have continued disappearing for years. And no one knows the blind woman across the street has been silently terrified of him her entire life. Because Elias has always known the truth. He knows Alexa can see. He notices the way her eyes follow movement when she forgets herself. The way her fear sharpens whenever he gets too close. The way she still looks at him like she remembers exactly what he is. What begins as suspicion soon twists into obsession. Now trapped between grief, fear, and the man who has haunted her since childhood, Alexa finds herself caught in a dangerous game where every secret has teeth. Because the closer Elias gets to exposing her lie... the more she realizes the serial killer next door may never l
