She was the light he never wanted... and the only one who made him see again. Rowan Cassius Argyros once had everything-success, charm, and a future as bright as the sun. But when an illness stole his eyesight, it didn't just take away his vision. It shattered his trust, hardened his heart, and left him convinced that love had no place in his world. Enter Harmony Noëlle Sinclair-a nursing student with a heart too soft for her own good, whose laughter feels like light itself. She's determined to see the good in everyone, even the brooding man who hides behind cold words and dark glasses. What begins as routine check-ups slowly turns into late-night walks, café encounters, and an undeniable pull neither of them can resist. For the first time in years, Rowan feels something stirring-hope. Desire. Maybe even love. But opening his heart again means risking the pain he swore he'd never endure. And Harmony? She'll have to decide if she's strong enough to break through the walls he's built, even when he pushes her away. A story of healing, second chances, and the unexpected ways love can teach us to see again.

+18 Igor patted his thigh-slow, deliberate. "Come here," he said, voice thick with amusement. "Sit on my lap. You look tense." Etta stood her ground, she didn't want him to win. His smirk deepened "You want to see what happens when I ask again?" **** When Etta agrees to a spontaneous trip to Russia with her best friend, she expects snow, sightseeing, and maybe a little adventure-not to be hunted down by a brooding, relentless police officer with icy dark grey eyes and a claim that burns. Igor doesn't ask. He takes. And from the moment he sees her... she's his. WARNING: This story contains dark themes, obsession, NASTY sexual scenes, Reader discretion is advised.

He's recovering, is lead vocalist and guitar(and good with many other instruments) in a band with his friends, has tattoos, a lip piercing, blue eyes and black fluffy hair, confident, a grumpy lover who's love language is physical touch, calls you Love, drives a huge truck, protective and territorial in the gentlest way possible and falls to his knees for you ? Mani folds for him. Imani Shane is new around. New school, new people, new places. At her new school she is introduced to an new friend group that will ultimately change her life in a few ways. Imani is quickly adapted into the group and loved by her new friends. It's not long before she takes a liking to them also but there's one member she hasn't met-Jake Vandle. Hearing his history makes her want to distance from him as much as possible but she can't help being drawn to his dominating and attractive personality. Jake Vandle is a sexy yet troubled musician and guitarist known for being just that and very much so a charmer which aids in him getting attention from almost every girl he comes across. He and his friends gained popularity within their school and a decent range of social media platforms because of their talent and strive to play their instruments together as a band in the future. Everyone wants a piece of this friend group especially the third oldest. But Jakes friends soon introduce him to a gorgeous black woman that he can't keep his mind or eyes off of.

Six years have passed and no word to each other. Still 4,000 miles away. Still deadly in love with each other. Since the departure, Imani has proceeded her life as a podcast guest and traveling professional zoo aid and wildlife biologist in London. She still contacts all of her loved ones faithfully but Jake, however, not so much. In fact it's been five years since they've spoken directly to each other. Meanwhile, Jake has proceeded his life with his best friends/band mates as a full on musician, songwriter, instrumentalist, and owner of a guitar shop/teaching center. Becoming internationally famous graced him with the opportunity to travel around the world, expand his musical talents, create a functioning business of his own and write and/or perform for some of everyones favorite artists. He meet all kinds of girls but is still writing for, singing for and longing for one in particular. To any new readers I recommend reading the prologue for insight about the book and if you should read book 1 or not.
