After moving to Chicago to start a new life, Sveya isn't looking for nothing beyond a fresh start. Between church, school, and learning how to exist without losing herself, her life feels limited...until she meets Solomon.

Aurora Saints has learned how to disappear in plain sight. At twenty-seven, she is a nurse who works double shifts, a daughter holding together a fragile home, a sister who never lets herself need first. Quiet. Careful. Good. The kind of woman the world leans on without ever stopping to ask what it costs her. Matteo De Luca is a man the world listens to. A brilliant lawyer from one of the most influential families in the city, he commands rooms without raising his voice and carries his power like a second skin. Wealth, legacy, whispers of darker ties-none of it has ever shaken him. Control is his language. Restraint is his choice. They meet where power is not supposed to matter-hospital corridors, late nights, stolen glances that linger too long. Matteo sees her immediately. Aurora feels it-and resists. He does not chase. He does not corner. He waits. Because he knows that when she finally steps forward, it won't be because he took something from her... It will be because she chose him. And when a man like Matteo De Luca is chosen, he does not give pieces of himself. He gives everything. Slow-burn tension. Quiet dominance. Possession without control. A love story where restraint is the most dangerous thing of all.

If the words you spoke appeared on your skin, would you still be beautiful? Dean Di laurentis x fem o/c. Season 1 - ?

{MATURE +18} I am strong, I am resilient, I am fire... ******************************************************************************************* Grabbing hold of my wrist, he tugs me towards him. His large arms wrapping around my torso as he pulls me closer, burying his face in my hair. "I can't give you a happily ever after Erin." He tells me, his voice breaking with what sounds like pain. Reaching up with my free hand, my fingers threading through his hair until it catches on his silken ends. I tug. Hard. Ensuring that we have eye contact, I whisper. "I don't need tomorrow, all I want from you, right now, is tonight." ******************************************************************************************* Trapped in a contract with no exit, an agreement made without her consent. Erin will learn that there is more to the end of her story, more than the life her father sold her into too, and it is going to be one HELL of a fight to come out on top. I'm back BITCHES, and things are about to get HOT!!!

I have found an ideal life. I have a loving husband, no work and no danger. This is exactly what I wanted when I ran away and changed my identity.

And sometimes our desires come back into our lives with a nasty cry, "I'm back from your past." I am crazy because I knew that he will find me and I love it.

The worst thing about falling for your enemy isn't the rivalry. It's realizing he may have never been your enemy at all. Everyone in Dawston University knows two things. Evangeline Winslow Abberweitch is untouchable. Dawston's golden girl in a lab coat, a future scientist with a sharp tongue, and the kind of girl everyone wants to befriend-except for the one ice-cold hockey captain who seems determined to stay in her orbit. Keeve Malachi Kavanagh doesn't touch anyone. Ruthless, blue-eyed captain of Dawston's hockey team, as cold as the ice he rules, and Angie's sworn enemy. They've hated each other for years. He calls her Princess just to watch her snap. She calls him an arse because it's easier than wondering why he never leaves her alone. But one desperate phone call changes everything. When no one else answers, he's the one who picks up. Suddenly, the line between love and hate begins to blur. The sparks between ice and fire threaten to burn down more than either of them is prepared for. Maybe the greatest rivalry at Dawston was never a rivalry at all.
