The moment I set my sights on the prize, nothing can stop me from claiming it as my own." - Ezria, 2025 Athneia Harland was perfectly content with her quiet life-running her cozy coffee shop, serving up lattes, and avoiding unnecessary drama. But that peace shattered the moment Ezria Castelot walked through her doors. From lingering in the coffee shop until closing time to moving into the apartment right across from hers, Ezria refused to be ignored. And when one heated kiss led to a moment of surrender, Athneia found herself questioning everything she thought she knew about herself. Ezria, known as a lioness in the jungle, was never one to be tamed. No man or woman had ever made her heart waver-despite countless attempts. But there was one exception: Athneia Harland. From the moment she laid eyes on the fiery coffee shop owner, the untouchable lioness did the unthinkable-she wagged her own tail, submitting to the one person who wanted nothing to do with her. Ezria doesn't lose, and she certainly doesn't back down. And just when she finally claims the woman she fought so hard for, the weight of the Castelot name brings danger straight to Athneia's doorstep. Can Ezria protect the woman she loves, or will the dangers of her world tear them apart?

Charlotte Austin's life was built on a foundation of success: a thriving career, a devoted girlfriend, and a grandmother who was her only remaining family - until she wasn't. When her grandmother's health fades, a forgotten promise resurfaces - one made long before Charlotte could grasp the weight of true commitment. A vow that binds her to the last person Charlotte would ever trust - and the very person she's spent her life avoiding. Engfa Waraha. The self-centered player from Charlotte's past. The tormentor who turned Charlotte's life into a battleground. The feeling was mutual. Charlotte saw Engfa as a superficial ideal - the last person who could ever understand the meaning of loyalty - and Engfa saw Charlotte as nothing more than the fake girl, the embodiment of everything she despised. But fate, it seems, has a way of turning everything upside down. In a single, fateful moment, everything they thought they knew about themselves and their futures shatters. Now bound by a promise neither of them fully understands, they're caught in an unavoidable web of secrets, betrayal, and a connection they can't escape. It all begins with a bitter vow - and neither of them could have anticipated where it would lead. ***** 🚫⚠️This story contains strong language, explicit sexual content, slow-burn romance, and heavy angst.
