Amalia Romano has been putting her heart back together, piece by piece after her high school boyfriend broke it four years ago, when he left the city with his mother and little sister. Amalia thinks she'll never see him again until she does at her friends bachelorette party. Only she wakes up the next day in his bed, but disappears before he wakes up and spends the rest of the day ignoring him before the journey back home. But then things start coming back to her from their drunken night: laughs, jokes. Oh, and their walk down the aisle in a Las Vegas chapel before they were married by an Elvis impersonator. As soon as she realises that she's married to the boy who unknowingly broke her into a thousand pieces when he left, she wants to divorce him. But an opportunity comes up for her to advance her business, however it's a club strictly for married ladies. He agrees, but the real question is: will this fake marriage transform into a real one?

Amalia Romano is a selective mute. After years of enduring abuse from her step father, who has ridiculed and hurt her mercilessly, she doesn't want to talk, for fear of what might happen if someone doesn't like what she says. But then her step father--who's care she has been in for two years, ever since her mum died--passes away, and her father, who she was taken away from when she was three, agrees to take her in. But she isn't the smiley little girl she used to be. And the Romano men have secrets of their own, ones they want to keep their twelve year old princess away from. 1M VIEWS: Sunday, 12th March 2023 COVER BY: @sugarhighstoned

Amalia Romano is sixteen years old now. Still a dancing prodigy, she lands herself a photoshoot for a magazine that'll help her get to where she wants to be. It seems like everything's going perfectly fine. Her grades are booming, she has a nice circle of friends and her family adore her. She's content, happy and finally safe where she is. Nothing can go wrong. That's what she thinks until Archer King, the typical bad boy, enters her life--brown hair so dark it's almost black, almost always obscured by his motorcycle helmet. Tattoos he's definitely not allowed embedded into his skin, and a careless attitude that clashes with hers. After a messy mix up in school, she decides to ignore him.. until she gets assigned to work with him for a project that'll make up a large chunk of her final grade for the year. Not only does she have to put up with him, but she also has to hide him from her family, since he's the exact type she's always been warned away from. She also has to juggle more than one relationship in her already hectic life. [COVER BY @sugarhighstoned]

He's her stoic gargoyle guardian - and she's the curvy heiress who tempts his granite heart. Ariella Wainwright, heiress to a fortune, is caged by golden bars of high society and her father's overbearing protection. With a mind as sharp as her curves are lush, she craves the adventure that's always been just beyond her reach. But when danger breaches the walls of her sheltered world, it's not just her spirit that's freed-it's the shadows that hunger for Wainwright blood. Enter Callum, the alpha leader of a hidden clan of gargoyles, whose very existence is intertwined with the Wainwright legacy. His wings are her shield, his gaze an unspoken vow of eternal protection-and yet, a smoldering desire threatens to breach the boundaries of duty. As Ariella's naivety to the supernatural world fades, so does her resistance to the magnetic pull between them. But with an ancient enemy lurking in the darkness, ready to extinguish the Wainwright line, the stakes soar higher than Callum's silent, moonlit vigils. Will the passion that flares between them fan the flames of their survival, or will it spell doom for both?
