This story begins with Conrad in California, detached and disciplined, carrying the familiar weight of being the responsible one-the son who absorbed pressure, grief, and expectation until love felt indistinguishable from obligation. He is older now, sharper, angrier, and more self-aware, but still haunted by his past: his mother's death, his father's failures, and the wreckage left behind with Belly and Jeremiah. Everything fractures the night he meets Valeriya-brilliant, commanding, emotionally guarded, and immediately unreadable. Their connection is instant and volatile, built on challenge rather than comfort. Valeriya doesn't soften Conrad; she exposes him. She calls him out, refuses to be managed, and meets his intensity with her own. What starts as mutual fascination quickly spirals into something obsessive, physical, and deeply binding. Their relationship becomes the emotional center of the story: fierce loyalty, constant proximity, and an intimacy that is not gentle but deliberate. They move fast-not recklessly, but with certainty-building a shared life that feels private and impenetrable. Sex becomes routine, grounding, and expressive rather than impulsive; domesticity becomes just as charged as conflict. Conrad finds himself choosing her again and again-not out of duty, but desire. But as their bond deepens, the past fights back.

❝Every time I think about you, I touch myself. And what I mean by that is, I rub my temple because you're a fucking headache.❞ Nova Argent is used to running. New names. New towns. New lies. She doesn't know how she ended up in this world-or why the Volturi, an ancient vampire coven, are hunting her like a prize they're owed. All she knows is there's something inside her that should've never survived. Power. Rage. Something worse. Now she's in Forks, pretending to be normal. It would've worked... until she met Paul Lahote... Arrogant, infuriating, and way too close for comfort. She hates him. He pushes every button she has. But when the monsters come knocking, Paul might be the only one who sees the truth: Nova isn't human. She's a weapon. And someone is about to pull the trigger.

Rivalry doesn't stop at the boards. You're a world-class figure skater-elegant, controlled, and relentless in your pursuit of perfection. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are everything else: loud, competitive, magnetic, and locked in a rivalry that the entire hockey world watches with bated breath. You were never supposed to get caught between them. But shared arenas, international tournaments, and too many late-night practices blur the lines between spectator and participant. Shane's steady presence pulls you in, grounding and familiar. Ilya's fire dares you to lose control, to skate closer to the edge than you ever have before. They fight on the ice. You fly above it. And somehow, the tension always finds its way back to you. Because rivalries don't disappear just because the crowd is gone-and neither does the heat that simmers when three people refuse to admit what they want.
