𝗦𝗸𝘆𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘄𝘀𝗼𝗻 had one rule: never let a man outsmart her - and never let one get under her skin. Which is unfortunate, because her new coworker, 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗱, does both with infuriating ease. He's the firm's rising creative director - annoyingly talented, dangerously calm, and the only person who can match her, challenge her... or beat her for the promotion she's worked her entire life for. She swears she hates him. He swears he doesn't care about her. But forced late nights, shared deadlines, and sparks that feel like chemical combustion make it increasingly impossible to ignore the tension snapping between them. And as their rivalry turns into something hotter, riskier, and far too intimate, 𝗦𝗸𝘆𝗲 realizes something terrifying: the only thing scarier than losing to him... is falling for him. ⸻ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱:

𝗟𝗶𝗹𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘁 had one rule: never fall for a man who can never be yours. Too bad her new boss - technically her boss - 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗲, the gentle, brilliant, devastatingly charming professor she babysits for, makes that rule impossible. When she takes a job caring for his two children 𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 and 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗲, 𝗟𝗶𝗹𝗮 expects bedtime stories and spilled juice... not a growing, impossible longing for the married man with tired eyes and a smile that makes her heart stumble. He swears he's happily married. She swears she's only there for the kids. But late nights in the quiet house, soft laughter over homework, and the kind of tenderness she's never known blur the lines neither of them meant to touch. And as feelings deepen in all the wrong ways, 𝗟𝗶𝗹𝗮 learns the hardest truth of all: the only thing more dangerous than wanting him... is wishing she could take it all back. ⸻ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱:

𝗜𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗵 had one rule: never rely on anyone but herself. But when her beloved flower shop is broken into and torn apart overnight, she has no choice but to accept help - and it comes in the form of Detective 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, the sharp-eyed, broad-shouldered cop assigned to her case. He's steady where she's shaken, relentless where she's frightened, and far too gentle in the moments she tries hardest not to crumble. She swears she doesn't need protection. He swears he's only doing his job. Yet every late-night check-in, every shared moment rebuilding her shop, every brush of his hand against hers weakens the walls she's spent years holding up. And as danger edges closer and the truth behind the robbery is uncovered, 𝗜𝗿𝗶𝘀 realizes something she never expected: the only thing more terrifying than the break-in... is how safe she feels in his arms. ⸻ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱:

𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗮 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆 had one rule: never catch feelings - ever. So when 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿, a smooth-voiced R&B artist on hiatus, walks into her pottery studio asking to rent space, she tells herself it's harmless. He's calm, collected, heartbreakingly attractive... and exactly the kind of man she refuses to fall for. A little flirting? Fine. A little fun? Sure. Feelings? Absolutely not. She swears it's just friends-with-benefits. He swears he's not looking for anything serious. But stolen glances, late-night studio sessions, and a chemistry that burns too hot to ignore make their "casual" arrangement unravel fast. And when 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗻 starts writing songs that sound a little too much like her, 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗮 realizes the truth she never wanted to face: the only thing harder than keeping her guard up... is letting him in. ⸻ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱:

𝗔𝗹𝗺𝗮 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝘇 had one rule: never open her heart for anybody. Too bad her new bodyguard, 𝗘𝗻𝘇𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶, makes keeping that rule impossible. When threatening messages turn into a real danger, 𝗔𝗹𝗺𝗮 is forced to accept protective detail - and gets assigned 𝗘𝗻𝘇𝗼, the silent, disciplined, maddeningly handsome, ex-soldier who is far too good at reading her. She swears she can't trust anyone, and he swears he's only there to do his job... but danger has a way of pushing them together in all the wrong - and dangerously right - moments. And as the threats close in, 𝗔𝗹𝗺𝗮 realizes something terrifying: the only thing harder than staying safe... is keeping her heart protected from him. ⸻ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱:
