Emma Grace Brown a singer that can make anyone speechless with her voice of gold. She lights up every room she enters. Sweet, stubborn, loyal, not afraid to speak her mind and a little to soft for her own good, she's the kind of girl who believes in love - or at least, she used to. Then came heartbreak. And walls so high, she swore no one would get past again. Malachi barton: her older brother's best friend. He's cold, off limits, and has a reputation for breaking hearts and never looking back. They don't get along. At all. He's trouble. She's too much. At least that's what they tell themselves. But everything changes when they're forced into each other's lives - and the tension between them stops feeling like hate... and starts feeling like something else entirely. Late nights. Stolen glances. Almosts. He sees the songs no one gets to see. She sees the version of him that is hidden away. He was never supposed to mean anything. She was never supposed to matter. She promised she'd never fall again. He never planned to care. But what if the one person you were never supposed to want..... Is the only one who really sees you?

When shy, artistic transfer student Aera Valencia steps into Crestwood High, the last thing she expects is to catch the attention of the school's cruelest heartbreaker-Damian Ashbourne. He's rich, reckless, and rules the hallways with a smirk that hides scars no one dares to touch. From day one, she becomes his new favorite game taunted, cornered, and claimed in ways that blur the line between hate and obsession. But as secrets unravel and masks start to slip, Aera realizes there's more to Damian than just venom in his words and fire in his eyes. He wants her. He'll break the world to keep her. And he might just destroy her before she even understands what it means to be his. In a school full of lies, power, and darkness... love might be the most dangerous game of all." "What happens when the one person you should hate... is the only one who sees you? Can love bloom in the shadows of obsession and pain? And when secrets explode and loyalty is tested... will they survive each other, or burn trying?"

"Morning, Mr. Serious," I say now, setting his usual cup on the table. I add two sugar packets because I can't help myself. He never uses them. He never even looks at them. But I like the idea of them sitting there, taunting him with sweetness. His eyes flick up to mine - stormy gray, the kind that make you feel like you're under interrogation for a crime you don't remember committing. "You should stop doing that." His voice is low, accented, like gravel dragged across velvet. Russian maybe? Or Italian. Or both. Either way, it does unholy things to my stomach. "Doing what?" I ask innocently, sliding the sugar closer to his hand. "That." His gaze drops to the packets. "I don't take sugar." I grin, all sunshine and sass. "You don't know that. Maybe one day you'll wake up and realize life's better with a little sweetness." ●・○・●・○・● Rafael Volkov doesn't do small talk. Or smiles. Or sugar in his coffee. As the mafia's underboss, he's built a reputation on silence, sharp suits, and an expression that could curdle milk. So of course, Lila Parker makes it her mission to crack him. The sunny diner waitress insists on slipping him extra sugar packets, calling him "Mr. Serious" behind the counter, and treating him like a normal guy instead of a walking red flag. He tells her to stop. She doesn't. He growls. She grins. And suddenly, his late-night coffee runs feel less like routine and more like... something he shouldn't want. The problem? In his world, affection is dangerous. Smiles get noticed. Weaknesses get used. And if Lila isn't careful, her little act of kindness might just paint a target on her back. Rafael swore he didn't have a sweet tooth. Turns out he was wrong. ●・○・●・○・● Word Count: 37,478
