Stephanie Walker is eighteen, moving across the country from Los Angeles to New York to begin her dream: law school at NYU. A new city, a new home, new friends, new everything. She's excited, but sleepless nights, old wounds, and quiet struggles follow her everywhere. She wants to live like any other college student, to blend in, to feel normal, but life hasn't been simple, and surviving on her own is harder than she expected. Every late night, every study session, every solitary drive home reminds her that life doesn't come with easy answers. Some nights, she leans on quiet habits she'd never tell anyone about, just to make it to morning. Elena Shay is thirty-two, NYU's Dean and a respected law professor. Her life is built on control, precision, and endless responsibility. At work, she's commanding, elegant, untouchable. Outside it, she's soft, warm, and human, but never careless. Elena doesn't date casually; she doesn't waste time or energy on anything that isn't worth it. She's deliberate, certain, and careful... Until Stephanie. Stephanie isn't just another student. She's sharp, captivating, and unafraid to be herself in a way that draws Elena in deeper than it should. Suddenly, the carefully maintained line between professional and personal life begins to blur. The rules, the expectations, the life Elena's worked so hard to control all scream that nothing between them can ever happen. And yet, the pull becomes impossible to ignore. As their worlds collide, Stephanie discovers a side of life she's never dared to touch: warmth, comfort, attention, and desire from someone who sees her fully, not as a girl with a "rough" childhood, but as a woman. Together, Elena and Stephanie fall into chaos, vulnerability, and longing they didn't know they were missing. Every glance, every touch, and every moment carries risk. Risk of exposure, of judgment, of everything crashing down, all shaped by the choices resting in their hands.

Evania lives a quiet, book-loving life, working in a cozy mini library café where stories feel safer than reality. Everything changes the day Callahan walks in for coffee. Their eyes meet across the counter, the moment charged with something neither of them expects. But before Evania can gather the courage to speak to him, he's gone. Callahan's world is built on power, pressure, and expectations. When his parents give him an ultimatum- marry or lose the company- he's forced into a search for a suitable wife. Yet no one compares to the barista he can't stop thinking about, the woman who didn't even know his name. When fate brings them together again, Callahan makes a shocking proposal: a fake marriage. Strict rules. No emotions. To his surprise, Evania agrees instantly. She doesn't negotiate romance or affection-only that she gets to spend his money. Her easy acceptance unsettles him more than refusal ever could. As they step into their carefully staged marriage, Callahan struggles to read her. Is her affection real, or is she simply playing her role? The more time they spend together, the more their arrangement begins to feel dangerously real, blurring the line between pretending and falling. Just as their fragile balance starts to shift, Callahan's ex-girlfriend shows up with a devastating claim: she's pregnant. Secrets threaten to unravel everything, forcing Callahan and Evania to confront what's real, what's been faked, and what they might lose if the truth never comes out.

Some mistakes don't end when you grow up. They wait. Ichiro once convinced himself that what he did was survival.. that choosing himself over Emily was inevitable, excusable, even justified. He let the world believe a lie, and for ten years, that lie became the foundation of his success. Now she is back. Emily is no longer the woman he remembers. She is composed, untouchable, and finally free of the past he never escaped. She belongs to a life he was never invited into.. a future where his name is no longer spoken with longing, but with quiet closure. Ichiro tells himself he wants redemption. What he feels is possession. With his intelligence, his wealth, and the calculated confidence of a man who has never been denied, he begins to close in.. testing boundaries, rewriting narratives, convincing himself that love can be reclaimed if he is willing to do whatever it takes. But love taken is not love returned. Mistaken is a story of obsession disguised as devotion, of power mistaken for love, and of a woman who must decide whether forgiveness is an act of grace.. or the beginning of another loss. Will Ichiro succeed in taking her back? Or will this time, the mistake finally belong to him alone?

DISCLAIMER: This book contains explicit content and mature themes intended for readers aged 18 and over. It is not a traditional romance, but rather a deeply complex and dark exploration of a toxic relationship. The characters' dynamics involve intense emotional manipulation, power struggles, and actions that may be triggering to some readers. Please be advised that this story delves into themes that are explicit, emotionally charged, and may not be suitable for all audiences. Proceed with caution. "Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?
