Alexios Vasilakis prefers silence over people. Transferring to Halstead College was never meant to be anything more than a clean escape; a place to play football, keep his head down, and stay far away from anything that might crack the control he's spent years building because control is the only thing he's ever had. Back in Greece, love came with conditions, and silence was safer than speaking, safer than feeling. Then there's Sienna Hartwell, loud in all the ways he isn't. Stubbornly kind and impossible to ignore. She slips through his carefully built walls without trying, without even realizing she's doing it and somehow, she becomes the one complication he can't seem to avoid or walk away from. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Sienna Hartwell has always believed love is worth the risk. Even after years of holding onto feelings for someone who never saw her the same way, she refuses to let disappointment harden her heart. So when the quiet, guarded Greek transfer student joins Halstead's football team, she doesn't see distance, she sees someone worth understanding and when Alex, against his better judgment, agrees to help her win over the boy she's always wanted, it should've been simple. It wasn't. Because somewhere between stolen glances, quiet moments and everything left unsaid. The lines begin to blur.

Rules have always existed when it comes to the South and the North. Hate, kill, death, violence. In no way should anyone from the North have any kind of relation with the South. It goes for all-friendship and more. We call it the Crimson Protocol. Anastasia Romanova is a spy of the North, known as Agent Scarlet. Her only goal? Take down the South-and especially Agent Black, a cunning, sarcastic, brute man. They have been enemies for God knows how long, battling to get the other killed. But things start to get serious when they finally meet up close. Can they continue to say they hate each other when they are undeniably attracted to each other? Yearn for each other? Enemies in denial. And soon, they start to break those rules.

Her brother is dead, and every lead points to one place: a sealed, all-male military training camp in Brasília-where secrets are buried under discipline and silence is enforced by rank. Breaking her way inside as the only woman among hardened recruits, Flávia endures brutal training, open hostility, and relentless torment. She wasn't meant to survive this place. But survival isn't her goal. 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬. Commanding the camp is Gustavo Medeiros-cold, feared, and forged by legacy and war. He doesn't want her there, and he makes that clear by pushing her harder than anyone else, stripping her down to pain, endurance, and will. What begins as punishment turns into something far more dangerous: respect, fascination, and a growing tension neither of them can afford. As Flávia digs deeper into her brother's murder, bonds form in unexpected places, and lines blur between duty and desire. But when the truth finally surfaces, it shatters everything.

I could feel the weight of the cold metal tucked into his pocket brushing against the inside of my thighs and the heat pooling between my legs only growing from the anticipation of what I wanted. "Do it." "Do what, Vipera?" His voice was low, husky, warm breath ghosting over the sheer lace covering my nipples making a sharp gasp escape me.
