Anneliese tried her hardest to be outgoing, her empathetic heart guiding her through every encounter. She is a young woman who has struggled finding a safe place to express herself. Often looking for new ways to meet friends, she wouldn't pass the opportunity to chat someone up. Even a stranger at the diner she works at to pass time and support herself. A dedicated man takes to the nativity of Anneliese. He is direct and prefers to keep to himself, but if he has to smooth talk a young woman to get to his end goal, he will. ~ ❀ ~ I can't help but stare at her. Her face, lips, and smile, and her nose. Even her long, curled lashes. "Let's do a butterfly kiss!" She exclaims, pulling my face close suddenly. Kiss? My heart hammers in my chest, my breath hitching. Her small hands hold my face close to hers. It's not very forceful, I could pull away if I wanted to, but I let her have control. Her hands are warm and soft against my jaw. Getting closer, her eyes lashes flutter and I find myself holding my breath. She brushes her lashes to mine, her breath fanning against my lips. Subconsciously, I lean forward, wanting my lips to be on hers. June flutter her lashes, grazing her lashes to mine. Out of nowhere she bursts out in a fit of laughter. I flinch back. Butterfly kiss. That was not a fucking kiss. ~ ❀ ~ #1 cliche 2025 & 2026 #1 sweatheart 2025 #1 opposites 2026 *Warning* Mature themes will be covered (language, actions, etc).

When kind-hearted Ava Bennett accepts a job as a nanny for the country's most feared mafia don, she expects long hours, strict rules, and a man with a heart as cold as ice. What she doesn't expect are two lonely little boys who have spent years longing for love after losing their mother. Feared by everyone and trusted by no one, Luca Moretti has built an empire on power, loyalty, and fear. His only weakness is his twin sons, yet no nanny has ever been able to earn their trust-until Ava walks into their lives. With her warmth, patience, and unwavering devotion, Ava gives the boys the childhood they've been missing. As laughter slowly returns to the mansion, the walls around Luca's heart begin to crack. But in the mafia world, love is a dangerous luxury, and enemies are always watching. When Luca's past comes back to threaten the only family he's ever truly loved, Ava must decide whether keeping her promise to protect the twins is worth risking her own life. Sometimes the strongest promises are made with love... and sometimes love is powerful enough to tame even the most ruthless man.

She was the secret he married. The wife he ignored. The storm he couldn't contain. Eight years ago, Ophelia went from an orphaned London girl to the hidden bride of America's most powerful and untouchable billionaire, Regal Ariti. Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, she was abandoned, silenced, and pushed into the shadows, until she clawed her way back into his life. Beautiful, sharp-tongued, and impossible to control, Ophelia makes a quiet storm out of the cold palace Regal built for himself. Now, she's no longer the quiet girl waiting in the background. What begins as cold, calculated tolerance turns into obsession. And what should have broken them-infidelity, secrets, betrayal only makes their bond dangerously unshakable. But Ophelia's not the only one with something to prove. His family wants her gone. Her lover wants her back. And Regal... wants her on her knees and by his side, forever.

"No. I can fix this on my own. I don't need help from anyone but myself, this is my problem. Not a nurse's, not my dad's, not your mom's, not yours." "Grace, I found out, so yes!
