She built her empire on control. I built my life on small moments. Somehow we met in the middle. She never believed in love. I never believed in control. Somehow, we learned both from each other. A ruthless CEO. A girl who laughs too easily. One crowded café that changes everything.

Sloane is what's left when the truth is taken too early. Luca is what survives when the truth is told too late. They were never meant to stand in the same room without something breaking. Every look is a reminder. Hate should have been enough. It should have stayed simple. Clean. But it doesn't. It fractures. It lingers. It turns into something heavier-something that makes it hard to breathe when the other gets too close. And the closer they get, the more they realize that everything they once felt is starting to burn.

She was the one person I was never supposed to want. For years, I convinced myself that the way my heart reacted to her was nothing more than confusion. A mistake. Something I could bury deep enough that it would disappear. But some feelings don't die quietly. Now, every stolen glance, every lingering touch, and every moment we spend pretending we don't care pulls us closer to the one thing we're both afraid to admit. Wanting her feels wrong. Losing her feels impossible. And when the secrets we've buried begin to surface, we'll have to decide whether love is worth risking everything for..

Anastasia Langford is determined to leave her reckless party days behind and rebuild her life with purpose. But her resolve is tested when she meets Cecilia Sinclair - her cold, intriguing psychology professor. Anastasia finds her self stuck in a dangerous game where lust and love collide.

Aurora Hale is a 22-year-old literature student who hides her softness behind sarcasm. Her heart feels deeply, but her words are always guarded. She questions everything - love, belonging, even her own worth - yet secretly craves a place where she doesn't have to apologize for her emotions. She's brilliant, stubborn, too loyal for her own good, and carries scars from being abandoned by people she trusted most. Celeste Moretti is a 32-year-old criminal defense attorney. She has built her life on logic, restraint, and control - the kind that keeps her untouchable. She reads people instantly but keeps her own soul locked behind walls no one gets past. Beneath the power and elegance, she's someone who fears loving the wrong person again... and losing herself in the process. Where Aurora is chaos and sensitivity, Celeste is discipline and ice-cold composure. Where one wants to be chosen, the other has forgotten how to choose. They live in different worlds, speak different emotional languages... yet something in their broken pieces fits like recognition. Maybe love doesn't demand perfection - maybe it demands understanding. © All Rights Reserved

2026 Watty Awards Shortlist Finalist! Helena Pierce has it all. A company built from nothing, wealth, a best friend who knows her better than she knows herself, and a brother who would move mountains for her. On paper, her life is flawless. But perfection doesn't fill the emptiness. Helena is lonely and love has never come easily, and when it did, her need for control always pushed it away. She rules every part of her life with iron precision, and that same power keeps her from letting anyone in.

Liora Laurent In a world full of evil and hate lies Liora Laurent. She wants to be the change-the thin line between good and evil. But can there truly ever be a society where evil doesn't exist? And if there is, how does one take the first steps toward creating it? For Liora, that first step is journalism. She writes about the evils of the world, exposing the dangers hidden beneath the surface-the things most people overlook, ignore, or are too afraid to see. But Liora's pursuit of justice isn't entirely selfless. Evil took something from her. Something she can never get back. And now, finding the evil responsible has become more than a story. It's a mission. She doesn't just want to expose them. She wants to destroy them. But what happens when destroying evil requires becoming something you once despised? How far is Liora willing to go for justice before she becomes the very thing she's spent her life trying to destroy? She wanted to expose the darkness. Now she has to decide how much of herself she's willing to lose to destroy it.
