There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket. My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real. My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?" The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings. "No" he whispers. "I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim. But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow. His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me. His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one. My tears. My pain. My silence. All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him. He came because he chose to.

Adeline wasn't planning on having a panic attack in the middle of a thunderstorm-but that's exactly how she met Leo. Head down, heart racing, soaking wet... and suddenly crashing into a stranger with calm eyes and steady hands. Leo's the last person anyone would expect to be soft. He's an FBI agent, used to chaos, and once had a reputation for being the guy who didn't stick around. But Adeline? She's sweet, sheltered, and the kind of girl who can light up a room without even trying. The second their paths crossed, he knew she was going to mean something. And she did... she meant everything. He didn't mean to fall for the girl who's scared of storms. She didn't plan on it, but she trusted him faster than anyone else. But when two messy hearts collide, sometimes the calm comes after the thunder. This isn't one of those over-the-top, cringy romances. There's no love triangle, no toxic drama, and no dragging things out with a million side characters. Just a good timeline, real connection, and all the wholesome moments we secretly dream about. Leo and Adeline are loyal, sweet, and actually communicate (shocking, I know). You'll laugh, smile, maybe cry - and you'll definitely wish you had a Leo of your own. If you're a reader who's tired of the recycled tropes, toxic drama, and characters who can't get their lives together? Same. I've been in the Wattpad trenches too, and that's exactly why I wrote this book. It's everything I wanted to read but couldn't find. So consider this your sign: you're about to find your new favorite. You're gonna fall for Leo and Adeline - I just know it. - Love, yours truly, DaddyMaddyy

His perfectly ordered world begins to glitch - starting with his heart. He built his empire to keep emotions out. But the one thing his tech can't calculate... is her. ━━▲━━ "Did you assign it a personality again?" he asked. "No. That would be irresponsible." I paused. "I may have named it, though." "Of course you did." "Gregory." "Gregory." "He feels like a Gregory. Stiff. In need of affection." He looked like he wanted to be annoyed. But he just... closed his eyes for a second. "Willow." "Yes?" "I am not adjusting the system to match your imaginary friendship circle of household appliances." I pouted. He rubbed his temples. "Fine. I'll take a look." "Yay!" "And stop calling me Alex." "Never." ━━▲━━ Word Count: 22,228

His lips trail down my neck, sending shivers all over. "I love looking at you," he breathes, brushing the hair off my shoulders. "Will you let me?" My wild heart seeks his. "Yes."

Then he eases me to my back and does it all over again. ******* An obscure tutoring opportunity brings Camila closer to three friends: Noah, Jed, and Fox.
