*COMPLETED* Ravenna Blackwood is the personification of chaos. She's loud, she's funny, she's reckless and Reed Hawthorne's last straw of restraint. Known as "The Hawk" for his watchful intensity, he has spent years guarding his heart against the one person he's forbidden to touch. But when a disaster forces Ravenna into his home, the distance between them collapses into a dangerous game of pining and provocation. And, as if that wasn't messy enough, her family threatens to marry her off to a stranger. Reed offers the ultimate escape: a contract, a ring, and a vow. Now, they're playing "husband and wife" in a house built on secrets and silent obsessions. In a world where every touch is a transgression, the most dangerous lies are the ones they tell themselves. He's watching her every move. She's waiting for him to break. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #5 IN LOVERS

Sofia De Luca and Santo Romano are supposed to get along. After all, they're neighbours, and their parents are best friends. But from the moment they meet, sparks fly-just not the romantic kind. Constant bickering, playful pranks, and endless teasing define their every interaction... until the lines between rivalry and attraction start to blur. Especially, since they were the two most popular kids in high school. As they navigate stolen moments, fiery arguments, and undeniable chemistry, Sofia and Santo realize that maybe being enemies isn't so bad-especially when the benefits are far too tempting to resist. But can love survive when friendship, family, and a lifetime of habits stand in the way?

"Don't make me sad, don't make me cry Sometimes love is not enough And the road gets tough, I don't know why" - 'Born To Die' by Lana Del Rey xxx In Shelley, nothing stays buried. Not secrets. Not betrayals. And definitely not the kind of love that ruins you. Aurora Rossi has spent years building walls strong enough to survive anything. Theo Williams is the one person who knows exactly how to tear them down. But when loyalty turns dangerous, friendships fracture, and the past comes back burning, they're forced to face a truth no one wants to admit: Some flames keep you warm. Others consume everything. And once you start to burn... there's no going back. xxx "I think you're going to have to ask me again," I murmured, tilting my chin up. "But like, really nicely this time." Theo blinked. "You're serious?" "Deadly." A second passed. Then another. I watched the way his tongue ran along the inside of his cheek, watched his hand flex like he was trying not to grab me too fast, too rough. And then, softer now-different-he said, "Rory." Just my name, but it held more weight than anything else. "Please, baby. Let me kiss you."
