Summer 1989. Everyone in Saint Hollow knows Dean Mercer. The mechanic with blood on his knuckles and trouble stitched into his skin. By day, he works at his father's garage just outside town. By night, he disappears into underground fights held in abandoned warehouses off Route 17,leaving with bruises, broken ribs, and more rumors trailing behind him than anyone can keep up with. People say Dean Mercer is dangerous. They say he drinks too much, fights too hard, and ruins every girl stupid enough to get close to him. Roxanne Hart has no interest in becoming one of them. Working late shifts at Cherry Diner and saving every dollar she can is supposed to be her way out of Saint Hollow. She doesn't have time for town disasters in leather jackets and dirty white tank tops, especially ones who walk into her diner at two in the morning covered in blood and acting like they own the place. But Dean Mercer looks at Roxanne differently. Too intensely. Too long. Like she's something worth wrecking himself for. What starts as sharp insults and slammed coffee mugs turns into midnight drives beneath neon lights, bruised knuckles in diner kitchens, and a dangerous attraction neither of them can seem to escape. Because beneath Dean's violent reputation is something far worse than anger: Obsession. And in a town filled with secrets, storms, and people who never outrun their pasts, Roxanne is about to find out just how dangerous it is to be the only soft thing in Dean Mercer's world. Blacktop Hearts is a gritty 80's dark romance featuring enemies to lovers tension, underground fighting rings, neon lit highways, small town secrets, and a love story messy enough to leave scars behind.

Twenty-three-year-old Emery Grant is drowning. Between balancing his shift as a waiter and carrying the crushing financial weight of his mother's specialized care facility, he's desperate enough to try anything. Even stepping onto the stage of Nocturne, a high-end Manhattan club, for his very first night as a dancer. Under the stage name "Emerald," he's clumsy, terrified, and completely out of his depth-but underneath the neon lights, he catches the eye of the one man who can change everything. At forty-two, real estate and hospitality mogul Nicholas Quinn is powerful, astronomically wealthy, and completely isolated. Burned by a superficial past engagement, he handles his investments from a distance, rarely stepping foot into the club he owns. Until the night he sees Emery. In the middle of the chaotic venue, Emery radiates a raw, captivating innocence that sparks something Nicholas thought was dead inside him. The proposition is simple: Nicholas will take care of every single one of Emery's burdens in exchange for his company. No games, no strings, just a quiet sanctuary at Nicholas's sprawling Long Island estate. But for an independent boy used to surviving on his own, learning to be spoiled rotten is the hardest thing Emery has ever had to do. From private orchestra dates to midnight burgers at sticky-table diners, Nicholas is determined to prove that his wealth isn't a trap-and that he wants nothing more than to belong entirely to his sweet, reluctant emerald.

Moon Beom-Da is "The Nation's Son." Refined, stoic, and fiercely controlled, he has sacrificed everything to build a pristine, safe image. He has one goal: win the prestigious Baeksang Award and finally earn his cold family's approval. But his path to glory is currently being blocked by a chaotic, beautiful nightmare. Park Woo-Jin is "The Nation's Problem Child." He is chaotic, bratty, unpredictable, and entirely driven by impulse.

Until a high-tension night leads to a desperate, unhinged mistake. Suddenly, the friction on set isn't just hatred anymore-it's a dangerous, electric attraction that neither can control.
