He's marrying her, my best friend... Yet here I am, pretending everything is fine while hiding my feelings for the groom. But the secret my best friend has been hiding? It's about to destroy us all.

Clara Hart has always played it safe - quiet, soft, and tucked away behind books and rules. But moving to Maddox Ridge changes everything, because Maddox Ridge comes with Jace Maddox: the leather-wearing, rule-breaking boy everyone warns her about. He's the town's storm. She's the girl who avoids trouble. They were never supposed to cross paths. But one late-night encounter turns into stolen glances... and then into something Clara can't name without feeling her heart race. With Jace, she feels seen in ways she didn't know she needed - and wanted in ways that scare her. The town is watching. Gossip spreads. And just when she starts to believe they can fight the noise together, a voice from her past finds her... one that promises to tear it all apart. He's dangerous for her heart. She might be dangerous for his soul. But together? They just might burn the whole place down.

She thought leaving her village would set her free. College life, independence, and the city lights - it was everything she dreamed of. Until he showed up. Cold. Rich. Powerful. And watching her like she already belonged to him. She's not ready for his world. He's not used to being challenged. 💋 A slow-burn romance full of tension, angst , pinning , yearning , and secrets waiting to explode. She came to the city to become a doctor - not to fall in love with a storm. Raven never believed in fairytales. But when she crossed paths with Zayn Blackthorn, the arrogant billionaire with eyes like midnight and words that burned, her world shifted. He wasn't supposed to mean anything. Yet he became everything - her gravity, her chaos, her undoing. But love with Zayn was never soft. It was angst and yearning, power and surrender, a constant pull between wanting him and needing to breathe. Every time she tried to escape, he pulled her closer - until she could no longer tell where the hate ended and the love began. Now, with secrets unraveling, pasts colliding, and a world watching their every move, Raven must decide: Is he her salvation or her ruin? And how many times can a heart break before it stops believing in love? Because Zayn Blackthorn will do anything to win her back - even if it means groveling for the love he once tried to own.

Velnyre City was never meant for people like them. Kaein Blackthorn was born into it. Legacy, power, a name that carries weight in a world ruled by empires, scandals, and bloodlines older than the city itself. Yumi Takahashi was not. She was invisible. A barista in a city that only notices you when you matter... and she doesn't. Their worlds were never supposed to collide. But plans mean nothing when heartbreak gets involved. Because Kaein Blackthorn was never chosen. Not when it mattered. Not by the one person he would've burned the world for. And Yumi? She was never seen. Not until him. What started as nothing became something neither of them expected, something neither of them can afford. Because in Velnyre, it's never just moving on. It's scandal. It's consequence. It's choosing someone when the world expects you to choose differently. This isn't a fairytale. Because in this city? Even broken hearts come with a price.

She was meant to marry the Younger brother. Meera's wedding to Aarav was supposed to be simple - a match arranged by two powerful families. But hours before the vows, Aarav disappears, leaving behind whispers, disgrace, and a broken bride. To protect their name, Veer Pratap Singh - the elder brother no one ever expected - is forced to take his place at the mandap. Cold. Commanding. A complete stranger. She became his wife in a moment of shame. He took her hand in silence. But his eyes? They never asked permission. Now, in a marriage born of duty, she's trapped with a man who doesn't speak of love... But watches her like she's already his. And the scariest part? Maybe she already is.
