Love looks perfect- especially when everyone is watching. Victor Finn has done everything right. A respected professional. A loyal lover. A man who believes love, once earned, should be unconditional. Sam Walker has been by his side since college-charming, admired, adored. Their relationship is the kind people envy. The kind that looks unbreakable from the outside. But love can hide things. And sometimes, the most dangerous betrayals don't come from enemies-but from the person you trust the most. When power, ambition, and quiet observation enter their world, the balance begins to shift. Promotions are earned. Attention is misread. Intentions are misunderstood. And somewhere between success and desire, a love story begins to fracture-without Victor ever realizing who is pulling the strings. The Cost of Loving You is a slow-burn boys' love story about trust, manipulation, and the price of loving someone blindly-until it's already too late.

Seraphina Valdez was the kind of woman people warned each other about. Beautiful enough to be worshipped. Dangerous enough to be remembered. Then she died.

Now surrounded by rivals, rumors, and boys far too attractive for her peace of mind, she has only one goal: Figure out what happened. But the more she learns about Aren's world, the harder it becomes to hold on to the woman she used to be. Especially when the student council president keeps looking at her like he knows a secret she doesn't. She ruled hearts in her last life. This one might ruin hers.

Until Detective Andrea Quinn receives an unexpected offer to reopen the case. As Andrea digs deeper into Allison's final hike, strange secrets begin to surface. Broken friendships, hidden lies, and a trail that doesn't appear on any map. The deeper she investigates, the clearer it becomes: Someone in Interwood knows what really happened on Mt. Gravestone. And they will do anything to keep it buried. Because some secrets were never meant to be found.

But when they finally surrendered, their union became a pure bliss, so blinding it defied the dark.

Liore thought the island of Formentera would be enough to burn away the memories of home. She thought that it would be her sanctuary, a place where her secrets could finally rest. But as the wind picks up and the tides begin to turn, she realises that some ghosts know how to swim. And now, for the sake of the heartbeat inside her, she has to leave the only peace she has ever known. She leaves nothing but footprints that the tide will soon erase. Where the waves whistle goodbye.

Receiver is pulled into a fragile convergence of forces she does not fully understand when a chance encounter binds her fate to Zyrath, a malevolent wraith who thrives on control yet finds himself increasingly destabilized by her presence. What begins as volatile tension between them deepens into something neither is willing to name, especially as Zyrath wrestles with an internal fracture-whether to claim her entirely for himself or release her toward a life that might bring her peace in the arms of another. That other is Alastor, an ancient and composed demon lord whose long solitude has sharpened into quiet intent, and whose interest in Receiver carries a weight that unsettles even the most dangerous corners of Zyrath's dominion. As competing wills tighten around her life, the world around them grows unstable, with rogue wraiths slipping into Zyrath's territory as if drawn by an unseen summons, escalating a conflict no one can fully trace to its origin. At the center of it all lies a single anomaly-a faintly glowing blue leaf in Receiver's possession, taken from Zyrath's domain and now pulsing with a significance none of them can decode. As loyalties blur, desire tangles with possession, and ancient powers begin to stir, Receiver remains at the heart of a mystery that refuses to stay buried, forcing all three of them toward a collision where truth, obsession, and choice may no longer be separable.
