It's a mystery-thriller and also a love story. This story is written about a girl named Ziana. There is also a handsome hero who is a Varsity professor and who he really is, you'll find out in the story😏. This is not a tale of ordinary love. At first, it may seem like a simple story, one you've heard before. But as the days unfold, layer by layer, you will discover the truth-a love drenched in blood, a passion that defies reason, and a fate that cannot be escaped. As, it is a mystery-thriller, I don't want to say more about it!!

This is not a story about what happens. It's about what almost does. At an Ivy League medical school, Isabelle Laurent is known as the Ice Queen-brilliant, distant, untouchable. No one gets close. No one stays. Alexander Whitmore was never supposed to be different. Charming, privileged, and infamous for never staying longer than a few weeks, he understands desire. What he doesn't understand, until Isabelle, is restraint. She believes he doesn't want her. He knows wanting her openly would destroy everything. So they choose the most dangerous thing instead: friendship. "The most dangerous thing about Alexander Whitmore was not his reputation, nor his charm, nor the power he would one day inherit. It was the fact that he never asked for anything from me, and somehow, without realizing it, I had begun to give him everything that mattered." Slow burn • Dual POV • Consent • Emotional intimacy

ONGOING! Couture Magazine, the hottest fashion magazine of the world. Every intern who worked there hopes to get a full-time job with vision, dental (with teeth-cleaning), and an endless supply of clothes. And while the demands from all the editors, photographers, and even writers are tolling, an intern's day there is ordinary. Right? WRONG! Alcide Lancaster is going to learn a LOT during his summer internship there while working for the iconic-yet-demanding Ellen Montclaire, the editrix-in-chief of Couture. Like why he, the other interns, and the senior staff members (including Ellen herself) are the only ones who are taking mandatory two-hour lunch-breaks. Why the general staff members look a little too athletic and youthful to be in their mid-thirties to late-fifties and obsessed with eyeglasses. And why the celebrities who stop by Couture's offices are very much interested in Alcide himself. But most of all... What does all of this have to do with him and his late family's not-so-diverse viewpoints and why they wanted him out of their lives? All good questions for Alcide as he navigates a summer full of Fashion Week, superpowered co-workers who act like celebrities themselves, and a boss who's more like a grandmother to him among new friends, a chance for love, and so many secrets and surprises; from preparing Fashion Week New York, Paris, Milan, and London to preparing the September Issue, Alcide is going to learn a LOT about the true destiny before him and what it means to be the bridge between the fashion world and the comic-book worl

Because not every love is meant to be accepted and not every world is ready to agree. Step into the story of Vetrimaran and Lily - where love dares to cross the lines it was never meant to.
