✶⋆.˚ I'd love to be in love with you enough to write a love song ˚.⋆✶ Rowan knows how to leave. She leaves conversations unfinished, feelings unspoken, doors cracked just enough to escape when things get heavy. Loving people has always felt like a promise she isn't sure she can keep, or that she is deserving of. She keeps herself moving, distracted, unavailable. Alone is safer. Alone doesn't ask her to stay. Awsten knows how to wait. He waits through missed calls, delayed responses and her processing all that has gotten her to this point. He sees the way she feels everything quietly, how she wants to be needed but is terrified of needing anyone back. He knows that loving her can at times feel exhausting but loving her is still the easiest thing he's ever done. What they share lives in the in-between. Between almost and never, between reaching out and holding back. It's the kind of connection that drains you and fills you all at once, the kind that makes you wonder if wanting someone is the same as being able to keep them. Rowan wants nothing more than to feel like she is deserving of love and can give that same love back. Awsten is left to decide how long he can keep waiting for someone who might always choose to be alone. Because the truth is, love can be devastating, inconvenient, and terrifying especially when it comes to letting someone see all of you.

By day, I'm a nurse trained to save lives. By night, I belong to a man who takes them. He comes from a world of wealth, power, and blood-bound loyalty-born into a family the media adores. They're polished, respected, and untouchable. Nothing that stains them ever makes it to print. To the world, he's a tycoon. To his enemies, a death sentence. I am none of those things. I go home to a cozy house, a loving family, a life built on honesty and routine. I believe in healing. In morality. In saving the people placed in my care. He believes in taking what's his. I was never meant to be part of his world, and he never cared. My morals don't soften him. My fear doesn't stop him. And my love only makes him more dangerous. I never expected my life to change so completely. But loving him was never a choice. And leaving him was never an option.

Forced into a Bratva marriage to settle a blood debt, Alina is delivered to the Reznikov estate like an offering - silent, soft-spoken, and smart enough to know that survival means obedience. Aleksei Reznikov is the coldest man she's ever met. He doesn't raise his voice. He doesn't touch her. He barely looks at her. But beneath his stillness lies a storm. He rules with silence, kills with precision, and makes promises in Russian that chill her to the bone. He tells her not to run. That she belongs to him now. That if she disobeys, he won't raise a hand - he'll break her with nothing but words. But as walls crumble and secrets unravel, the most dangerous thing of all isn't the violence outside their gates.

So why is he starting to look at her like she's everything? 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 ༺༒︎༻ New chapters every Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Sunday 🖤
