Against All The Odds ~ Ava Watson has one rule: stay as far away from Ethan Carter as possible. Too bad life has other plans. When a series of unexpected events forces the sharp-tongued college girl and the university's arrogant baseball captain into each other's lives, every encounter becomes a battle of sarcasm, stubbornness, and secrets they were never meant to uncover. But beneath Ethan's cold smiles lies a truth he refuses to share-and the closer Ava gets to him, the harder it becomes to tell whether he's the reason her world is falling apart... or the only one who can stop it. Some games are played on the field. The dangerous ones are played with the heart. Against All the Odds - an enemies-to-lovers college romance filled with slow-burn tension, mystery, banter, and the kind of love that arrives when you least expect it. Warning: Expect chaos, sharp banter, stubborn idiots, accidental feelings. ~ editing

She looked at him suddenly and pouted slightly. "You don't ruffle my hair anymore." He froze. "What?" She frowned cutely. "You used to. Whenever I got excited like this." Silence. His brain caught up slowly. "...Wait." She blinked. Natasha is 21, calm on the outside, unstoppable on the inside. A university student chasing dreams, a quiet baker with flour on her hands, a rising social-media influencer with strangers cheering her on- and a secret she never lets slip. By day, she blends into campus life: lectures, dorm chaos, teasing conversations, unspoken tension, and dreams that feel too big for her pockets. By night, she carries the weight of a business empire no one knows she owns. NV isn't just a brand. It's a revolution built from pain, ambition, and silence. Her real father, Debley, is powerful, feared, and drowning in secrets darker than the suits he wears. Nicolas-the teasing, dangerously charming man from her past-and suddenly every corner of the campus, every class, and every encounter becomes a mix of sparks, chemistry, and subtle chaos. He knows more than he lets on, and the closer he gets, the harder it becomes for Natasha to remain unaffected. Truths hidden behind smiles, contracts, and blood ties. Between amnesia and awakening, between love that feels safe and love that feels dangerous, between who she was, who she is, and who she's becoming- Natasha must decide: Will she remain the girl the world underestimates... or the woman who burns every lie to the ground?

They call me the nice one in my family. They see the tailored suits, the calm French accent, and the way I can bankrupt a man with a single phone call. They think I'm a success story. They are wrong. I am a predator. I don't just want money. I want to see people break. I like to find the little crack in their souls and stick my fingernail in until they shatter. I moved to this Greek island for a job, but I stayed for him. Alistair Cassian Helios. He is a billionaire with a heartbeat like a slow drum. He is quiet. He is wealthy. And he thinks he is the one watching me. He doesn't realize that I've already mapped out his house. I know which floorboards creak. I know which maid is lying to him. I know exactly how much blood is hidden under the beautiful marble floors of his villa. Everyone thinks Alistair is the dangerous one. They see the mystery in his dark eyes and the power in his hands. But he's just a puzzle I haven't solved yet. People on this island have started to die. Messy deaths. Ugly deaths. The police think it's a stranger. Alistair thinks it's me. I think it's Alistair. We sit across from each other at dinner, drinking expensive wine and trading lies like they are kisses. He manipulates the truth. I manipulate the air he breathes. I want to end him. But there is a problem. Last night, I found a camera hidden in my shower. Not his camera. Someone else's. And this morning, there was a gift on my pillow: the tongue of the man who tried to follow me home yesterday. I used to think I was the only one who liked to watch. I used to think I was the one standing in the shadows. But as I sit here, writing this, I can feel a pair of eyes on the back of my neck. I can hear the soft sound of breathing that isn't my own. Someone is in this room with me. Someone who knows what I did. I'm not the only psycho on this island. And for the first time in my life... I'm not sure if I'm the one holding the knife.

Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.

Just some additional stuff about the Sinclairs, Valencia or Volkovs :)

Viviana is back, and she's smarter than ever. it's time to see if she can survive the ultimate test. In this book, she faces her biggest challenge yet.

But in a world of enemies and arranged marriages, logic might not be enough to save her heart. ....... ᴍʏ ʟɪꜰᴇ ᴡᴀꜱ ᴀʟᴡᴀʏꜱ ᴀ ɢᴀᴍᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴄʜᴇꜱꜱ, ᴀɴᴅ ɪ ᴡᴀꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʟᴀʏᴇʀ, ɴᴏᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘɪᴇᴄᴇ. I knew how to handle the family business. I knew how to hide my innocence when I needed to be a boss, and how to use it. But I didn't plan for this. I've spent my whole life avoiding feelings. Feelings make you weak. They make you slow. Now, I'm caught in a trap I didn't see coming, tied to a man who was supposed to be my enemy. The world around us is burning, and I should be focused on the power, the throne, and the survival of my name. I'm clever enough to outsmart the kings of this city, but I'm not smart enough to outrun my own heart. I've won every war I've ever fought, but this time, the rules have changed. I'm staring into the dark, realizing I've finally met a problem I can't solve with logic. I know how to rule. I know how to kill. But for the first time in my life, I'm terrified... because I think I'm feeling something I promised myself I never would. And I have no idea how to stop it.
