I've always known him...my best friend's older brother, Zane. Tall, impossibly handsome, weirdly he has always hid his tattoos from me and untouchable. I shouldn't notice him. I shouldn't want him. But every time we're in the same room, every accidental brush of his hand, every silent glance...I can't help it. When our worlds collide in one tiny apartment, everything I thought I knew about boundaries disappears. And suddenly, I'm learning that some love stories don't need words-they're written in silence. 𝐙𝐚𝐧𝐞'𝐬 𝐏𝐎𝐕... I can't speak, but I feel everything. Watching May has always been like standing too close to sunlight-warm, impossible to ignore, and just out of reach. Now we're forced together in the same apartment, and I can't hide what I feel any longer. Every glance, every touch, every unspoken moment is a risk...but I'd rather risk it than stay silent anymore. Between laughter, arguments, stolen moments, and quiet confessions, living together isn't easy...but it's a lot harder to ignore what's been there all along.

✨ Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is face the truth-especially when the love you've always wanted feels like the one thing you can't have.✨ Savannah Knight has always been the queen bee. Confident. Untouchable. But behind the perfect façade is a girl who's been hiding the truth for years-the truth about the only man who ever truly mattered to her: Luke Silver. They've known each other since high school. They've shared everything-the first kiss, the first touch, the first everything. But the one thing Savannah couldn't share with Luke was her love. Not when her parents expected her to chase status, popularity, and the perfect life. Not when the pressure to be perfect drove her to push Luke away time and time again. Now, years later, Luke is back-and he's not the same. He's pulling away, playing games, flirting with her like it's nothing, all while Savannah is desperate to get him back. But Luke isn't the boy who used to follow her every move. He's changed. And he's using her pain to teach her a lesson she'll never forget. Savannah's world begins to fall apart as the love she's always denied crashes down on her, and as much as she hates it, she's drawn to him more than ever. But Luke isn't just playing games-he's making her feel everything she's done to him, and the truth is, he's broken her heart just as much as she's broken his. When Savannah finally reaches her breaking point, she'll have to face the reality of the one thing she's tried to avoid her entire life: the love she's always wanted is slipping through her fingers-and it's her own fault. Savannah and Luke have been playing games for years. But this time, the stakes are higher, and the heartbreak deeper. Can they find their way back to each other, or will they both be left drowning in regret? 💔

I was only fourteen when the world turned dark. Stolen from everything I knew and forced into the secret empire known as Dark Roses. There, I became a symbol-The Rose. Dressed like royalty. Trained to serve. Waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. And then he came. Ronan Astor. The Russian King. He didn't save me. He bought me. And now...I belong to him. 𝐑𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫... She was never supposed to be mine. I never bought any woman, only used them. But the second I saw her, I knew. Too young. Too pure. Too broken. And still...she became everything. I told myself I'd protect her from this world. But how do you protect someone from yourself? Now she's mine-by fate, by force, by obsession. And I'll kill anyone who tries to take her from me. . . . . . . . -𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 -𝐌𝐌𝐂 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐖 𝐌𝐅𝐂 -𝐌𝐚𝐟𝐢𝐚 / 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠

I wasn't just any new student-I was a princess, pretending to be just another teenager. And then, there was him. Elliott Hale, my bodyguard. At 24, he was six years older, towering over everyone, with eyes that could pierce through me even when he wasn't looking. His job was simple: protect me. Keep me hidden. But as he watched me from across the room, I felt the weight of a thousand unspoken words hanging between us. This wasn't just high school. This was my life-my secret, my duty, and now, my heart on the line.
