Three years ago, Silas Vesper walked away from the world as a man who could still pretend he had control. He returns to the Vesper estate as something far colder. The halls still gleam with legacy. Power still lingers in every carved archway. But the man who once commanded empires now moves through his own home like a ghost - silent, distant, untouchable. The accident took his legs. Betrayal took his trust. Guilt hollowed out whatever was left. He has no interest in healing. No interest in hope. And absolutely no intention of being seen. And then she walks in. Iris Sterling. The country's most sought-after physiotherapist. The woman known for rebuilding shattered bodies and resurrecting men who had already buried themselves. She does not believe in lost causes. She does not accept defeat. And she certainly does not cower before brooding billionaires who weaponize silence. Silas makes it clear: he does not want her help. Iris makes it clearer: she isn't asking. What begins as mandatory rehabilitation becomes a brutal war of wills. She pushes. He retreats. She challenges. He lashes out. Every session crackles with restrained fury. Every touch lingers a second too long. Every glance dares the other to break first. Because beneath Silas's icy control lives a man terrified of wanting again. And Iris has made a career out of teaching broken people that they are still whole. But this time, the patient doesn't just resist the treatment. He resists her. He resists the heat simmering beneath his anger. He resists the dangerous possibility that he is still a man capable of being desired. And Iris? She has never backed down from an impossible case. Even if saving him means losing herself. In a house built on legacy and secrets, where grief lingers like perfume and power tastes like sin, two wounded souls collide in a battle neither of them is prepared to win. Because the hardest thing to mend isn't the body. It's the belief that you deserve to be loved.

Eliana, sweet, well-mannered sunshine girl everyone loved... or at least, that's what she let them see. She was perfect in the eyes of others, especially Grayson's parents, who adored her, praised her, and never missed a chance to compare their own son to her. Grayson hated that. Cold, distant, and always pushing back against expectations, he grew up right next door to her. To him, Eliana was the flawless girl who could do no wrong-the one person everyone chose over him without hesitation. To her, Grayson was the boy who carried anger like it was the only thing he knew. They were never friends. Not really. Just two people forced into each other's lives, constantly clashing. Then time pulled them apart. Years later, college brings them face to face again but Eliana isn't exactly the same girl he remembers. She still smiles the same, still plays the part perfectly... but there's something off. Something she keeps carefully buried. And this time, Grayson notices. What started as resentment begins to shift into something neither of them expected because the more he looks at her, the more he realizes... Maybe she was never as perfect as everyone believed.

"Don't make me sad, don't make me cry Sometimes love is not enough And the road gets tough, I don't know why" - 'Born To Die' by Lana Del Rey xxx In Shelley, nothing stays buried. Not secrets. Not betrayals. And definitely not the kind of love that ruins you. Aurora Rossi has spent years building walls strong enough to survive anything. Theo Williams is the one person who knows exactly how to tear them down. But when loyalty turns dangerous, friendships fracture, and the past comes back burning, they're forced to face a truth no one wants to admit: Some flames keep you warm. Others consume everything. And once you start to burn... there's no going back. xxx "I think you're going to have to ask me again," I murmured, tilting my chin up. "But like, really nicely this time." Theo blinked. "You're serious?" "Deadly." A second passed. Then another. I watched the way his tongue ran along the inside of his cheek, watched his hand flex like he was trying not to grab me too fast, too rough. And then, softer now-different-he said, "Rory." Just my name, but it held more weight than anything else. "Please, baby. Let me kiss you."

Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both.
