Ariana Whitmore never expected love from the man she was forced to marry. For Noah Blake, the marriage was nothing more than a cold obligation-an arrangement made to protect family power and reputation. From the very first day, he made one thing painfully clear: she was his wife only by name, never by heart. Behind the grand walls of the Blake mansion, Ariana lives as a stranger in her own marriage, enduring Noah's indifference and the silence that fills every room they share. To the outside world they appear perfect-wealthy, powerful, untouchable-but the truth is far colder. She is the woman he never wanted. But as time passes, Ariana's quiet resilience begins to challenge the walls Noah built around himself. Secrets begin to surface, emotions grow harder to ignore, and the distance between them slowly starts to fracture.

Lyla has built her own empire from scratch, a successful company that she's fiercely proud of. Independent and driven, she has no interest in marrying for convenience-especially not Lorenzo Caldwell. The Caldwells and Lyla's family have always been close, and there's been an expectation that she and Lorenzo would eventually tie the knot. But Lyla wants nothing to do with a marriage that's based on family obligations. Lorenzo, the ruthless CEO of Caldwell Enterprises, has always been used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to his family's expectations. He's heard the rumors: Lyla, wealthy in her own right, must be eyeing his fortune. But he doesn't know Lyla-she's not interested in him or his money. She's already made a name for herself, and no amount of wealth can change that. As both families push them together, Lyla and Lorenzo are forced to navigate their differences, their assumptions about each other, and the pressure to marry for the sake of tradition. What happens when the cold CEO and the independent businesswoman begin to see each other in a new light? Can a marriage of convenience turn into something more, or will they both remain trapped by their own assumptions?

They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut. (MAJOR PLOT TWISTS) *************************************************** * MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING. * Rape.Abuse.Suicide.Death.Violence.Psychotic. Killing. Obsession.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)
