Damián Navarro does not rescue people. Piper Sinclair keeps making him. Behind the speed, sponsorships, and screaming engines of Navarro Performance is a business no camera ever sees. Damián built it to run on loyalty, discipline, and fear, and he has spent years making certain nothing gets close enough to threaten what belongs to him. Then Piper Rose Sinclair ends up somewhere she was never supposed to be. She's a nursing student with too many bills, too much faith in people, and a talent for wandering headfirst into situations she doesn't understand. She should be terrified of Damián. Sometimes, she is. It just never seems to stop her mouth. He tells her to stay put. She doesn't. He tells her to stop asking questions. She asks better ones. He makes her cry, turns his back, and learns the hard way that tears don't mean Piper Sinclair is finished talking. She is bright where he is brutal. Soft where he has spent years becoming hard. And somewhere between arguments, threats, unwanted protection, and the kind of tension neither of them is willing to name, something starts shifting. Piper begins to see past the man everyone else fears. Damián begins to notice the woman everyone else underestimates. Neither of them means to get closer. Neither of them understands why walking away keeps getting harder. And neither of them knows that the danger pulling them together started long before they ever met. Piper thinks she stumbled into the wrong world. Damián thinks he can control what happens next. They are both wrong. Because some things don't bleed when they break. They bleed when you try to hold on to them. Soft Things Bleed is a dark grumpy x sunshine romance about trust, survival, and two wounded people who refuse to become what hurt them, even as desire pulls them deeper into a world where caring for someone can become the most dangerous weakness of all. 🥀

They handed her to me in a silk dress and diamond collar. The spoiled Sokolov princess. The executioner's daughter. My wife. Kira Sokolov dances in chaos like it's a language she invented- spinning through Paris in stilettos, kissing danger with blood-red lips, dragging her demons behind her like a designer coat. She was meant to be my obligation. A Bratva arrangement sealed in blood and silence. I never wanted a wife. Especially not one with wild eyes, bipolar swings, and a mouth that lives to drive me insane. But now she's mine. My problem. My obsession. And when she falls apart in my arms- with whispers to ghosts and bruised apologies- I'll burn kingdoms to keep her breathing. Because no one touches what belongs to Ivan Smirnov. Not the bratva. Not her past. Not even her own madness. She was born royalty. But she'll die as something else. Mine.

Sebastian Heyward has never wanted anything he couldn't have. British, filthy rich and devastatingly handsome, Sebastian Heyward has spent his life getting exactly what he wants. At Royal Elite University, he's known for three things: his family fortune, his fists in the underground boxing ring, and the endless string of girls in his bed. He's arrogant. Reckless. A shameless playboy. Until Irina Smirnova. Quiet, beautiful and almost always hidden behind her glasses and headphones, Irina would rather spend Friday night curled up with a fantasy novel and a vanilla chai latte than attend one of Sebastian's parties. She's socially awkward, fiercely private and completely uninterested in his reputation. She should be easy to forget. Instead, Sebastian can't stop thinking about her. Then his father's death leaves Sebastian with an inheritance-and a legacy he never knew existed. Suddenly, the sheltered British heir is pulled into a dangerous world of Russian crime, bloodshed and Bratva politics. And Irina is far closer to that world than he ever realised. What begins as curiosity becomes fascination. Fascination becomes obsession. And soon, Sebastian discovers that the one girl who never wanted him is the only thing he can't walk away from. But loving Irina means stepping into a world where loyalty is bought with blood, betrayal is punished without mercy, and everyone has something to lose. Sebastian was supposed to inherit his father's fortune. He never expected to inherit his enemies. And he certainly never expected to fall hopelessly in love with the quiet girl who would become his greatest weakness.

Noelle Rivers never meant for anyone to read her words. She wrote them at night-carefully hidden behind an anonymous account-where no one knew her thoughts and nothing expected her to make sense of how she felt. At university, she stayed quiet. Observant. Unnoticed. Until Luca Hayes kept looking at her like she wasn't as invisible as she thought. He was everything she didn't understand-loud in the way he spoke, careless in the way he smiled, and impossible to ignore no matter how hard she tried. But while Noelle noticed the boy behind the jokes... Luca was falling for the girl behind the words. And neither of them realized they were looking at the same person. Some things are never said out loud. They're written. Between the lines.

"K-Kane!" she gasped, her hands instinctively landing on his shoulders. He smirked. "What?" Her cheeks were flushed, her breathing uneven. "Stop that." His hands slid over her waist, securing her in place. "Why?" She swallowed hard, eyes darting away. "You're making my heart beat too fast." Kane took her small hand and placed it against his chest. His heart was pounding just as violently as hers. "Like mine?" he asked, voice lower, more intense. By day, Kane is a tech billionaire, dominating boardrooms with his sharp mind and icy demeanor. By night, he's a ruthless underground boxer, unleashing his demons with every brutal punch. No one gets close-until Mona. She's small, shy, and too damn sweet for his world. With fiery red hair and innocent green eyes, she's the only softness he's ever known. But behind her hesitant smiles lies a dark past, one that haunts her in nightmares she refuses to talk about. When a storm forces her to stay the night, lines blur. One kiss turns into obsession. One secret could destroy them both. Can Kane protect her from the past she won't reveal-or will his own darkness consume them first? * I DO NOT OWN THE PICTURE *
