When a shocking discovery shatters the life she's built, Elena is thrust into a dangerous world of hidden identities, forged alliances, and betrayals that cut deeper than lies. As she races across continents to expose the truth behind a man with more identities than memories, Elena uncovers a conspiracy so twisted it threatens to consume everyone she cares about-including herself. With every clue leading to another deception, every confession unraveling into another secret, and every moment pushing her toward a truth she may not survive, Elena must learn that in a world built on illusions... nothing is what it seems-not even the people she loves most. A pulse-pounding romantic thriller filled with heartbreak, obsession, and the haunting question that lingers long after the last page: If love can be faked... how do you know who to trust?

They promised it was just fun. No strings. No feelings. So why does it feel like everything? At twenty-two, Sloane doesn't have room in her life for heartbreak. Between nursing school, long CNA shifts, and raising her daughter, she barely has time to breathe-let alone fall for someone. So when Braden, a friends boyfriends cocky, charming best friend, makes it clear he's only in it for fun, Sloane agrees. It's safe. Easy. Exactly what she needs. Until it isn't. Because somewhere between the stolen looks, mind-blowing sex and late-night banter, Sloane starts to want more. And without realizing it, so does Braden. But Braden has ghosts that won't stay buried. And when the girl he once claimed to love whispers a lie that cuts too deep, he doesn't just believe it-he uses it to break Sloane in the cruelest way. By the time the truth comes out, Sloane's heart is in ruins, and Braden's the one left bleeding. He never meant to fall for her. He never meant to lose her, either. Now he's ready to fight for the only woman he's ever really loved. But some promises can't be undone. And Sloane might be the one thing Braden can't win back.

Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.

"I. Will. Not. Fuck you..." He pulled me against his chest. There was no lust in his eyes, not even a hint of tease,until he smirked. "What I'll do with you is called love-making. I'll worship you like my goddess... Jaan." But the need,the desire in me,didn't even consider his words. I bit my lip and, pulling him dangerously close, I spoke, "But I'll fuck you... claim you... make you mine... until you beg for mercy. Until you scream my name, Mister Husband." And with that, my lips crashed against his. Clothes between us were discarded, bare bodies colliding, moans filling the space as I rode him. It was our first time..something I never knew I always needed. I needed him. He became my addiction. My everything. Every breath, every thought... I wanted to claim, ruin, and just keep him close to me. He is 37. She is 23. He's a virgin..she's not. He knows the world through his business files: calm, poised, and disciplined.

β€’ It all started as hate, until it wasn't β€’ Life had been nothing but a bed of roses for Viransh Arora, the only son of the chairperson of one of the largest conglomerates of Australia. His life was designed as a checklist, the day he was born - graduate from a world class university, commence his own company and then, marry a partner who suits his societal status. Straight A's in his field of studies, a prodigy in basketball and a model arts graduate, he certainly turned out to be an ideal son. But, one incident. One incident is all it took for all those years of hardwork to be flipped to a total hundred and eighty degrees. "My sister cannot commit such a crime!" But she did. All of the evidence proved against her. He screamed at the officer who stood in front of him in full glory, her eyes blank as she smirked with a devilish grin. She cocked her brow and played with the handcuffs, disinterested in his words. She appeared delighted as if she were waiting for this day. "How does it feel to be a part of the Aroras?" And he knew, Aira Rife is going to be one hell of a woman. He will prove her wrong, he will safeguard his sister and serve her justice, even if it means going against his family. Even if it costs to marry this rebellious woman. [Updates - Every Saturday and Sunday]
