[18+] When a broke, no-nonsense New Yorker, Georgia Whittaker, catches the attention of a golden-boy billionaire, Aiden Ashford, she's forced to choose between keeping her distance or risking everything for a man from a world that was never meant to let a girl like her in. There are a billion reasons why it shouldn't work but sometimes, all it takes is one.

Addie Whitmore has loved exactly three things her entire life: romance novels, pink sunsets, and her older brother. Then Raiden Harrington moved in next door. From the moment he became Alec's best friend, Addie was pushed to the sidelines - the little sister, the afterthought, the one left outside closed bedroom doors. And she's never quite forgiven him for it. Now they're all at the same college. Same campus. Same circle. And somehow, the boy she's spent years hating is suddenly everywhere. Worse? He's different. Quieter. Watching her like he's trying to figure her out instead of dismiss her. But Addie already has a boyfriend. And Raiden is off-limits in every possible way. Because if Alec ever found out his best friend was looking at his little sister like that? It wouldn't just break rules. It would break everything. Enemies. Neighbors. Brother's best friend. Some lines were never meant to be crossed. And some grudges were never meant to turn into something more.

PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS "The softest place to fall" "Who did this to you?" The question hangs in the air between us. I can't look at him. I stare at my hands instead. "Ella." His voice breaks on my name. "Please. Talk to me." "I- " The word comes out as barely a whisper. "I can't." "You can. Whatever it is, you can tell me. I'm not going anywhere."

But that doesn't mean she's safe. 21 year old Alina Anthony thinks New York City is safe for her-well, safe enough to not be found. Hidden in plain sight, she goes to school during most of the year, but works at a florist shop for the summer. But the switchblade she always keeps on her is a reminder of what she and those searching for her are capable of. So she has her one rule: don't get too close to anyone, no matter how bad she wants to. But when Daemon Kade sneaks into her life without an explanation to who he is, the two opposites can't help but attract, even if she hates his bossy demeanour and how attached he is to his gun. She knows he's dangerous, and he is definitely hiding things from her, but she can't help but fall deeper with the guy with a cold heart and even colder eyes. But when his secret comes out, all that's left is betrayal and heartache. t r o p e s : grumpy/sunshine, frenemies-to-lovers, banter, secret identity, mafia fiction, smut, no strings attached

HANNAH I've spent my entire twenty-one years on this earth in the background. Walked over by friends. Family. Strangers. And I didn't see a problem with it; I'd rather nobody pay attention to me. It was safer that way. Easier. Until I got the wrong kind of attention. Lev Somov caught me running from an impromptu crime I was committing against my ex-boyfriend, and in that moment, he somehow decided I was worth giving his attention to. All the bad kinds of attention. Next thing I know, he's watching over me, hijacking my job and becoming my client. And then he takes things above a level I never thought possible. He is a monster, incapable of feeling any type of remorse or guilt for anyone and anything, including me. All I can hope for is that I make it out of this obsession alive. LEV This life wasn't meant for me, but now that he's gone, it's mine for the taking. And no one is going to stop me. I've shown my loyalty through blood, and I make no plans to change my future. Especially not for the little kukolka I found stumbling into the wrong alleyway. I'll take my time before I break her. And then, the Dynasty will be mine.

"You left me here alone... can't you see I'm almost blind now?" she said, frustration lacing her voice. Still, no response. "Are you even listening to me? He could be here any time, and I'm not ready yet. What will he say after seeing me like this?" she kept blabbering. She paused, startled by a deep chuckle. Her breath hitched. Wait... why does that laugh sound so manly? She froze the moment she felt a warm breath fan across her face. "Yahi ke kitni pyaari lag rahi hai meri begum," came his husky voice. (That how pretty my wife is looking) "You-u?" she whispered, stunned. She tried to open her eyes, but he gently stopped her. "Don't open them yet. Your eyeliner's still wet," he said. She nodded silently. Goosebumps broke across her skin as she felt him leaning closer, his breath brushing over her eyelids. "W-what a-are you d-doing?" she stammered. "Drying your eyeliner," he replied casually and continued. She squeezed her eyes shut, unable to handle his nearness.
