A Dominating Father-figure Boyfriend and His Delicate Lily-like Heroine. ❝He came to her house, bleeding and uninvited. She gave him coffee-and lost her freedom.❞ In a secluded villa district on the edge of City A, nineteen-year-old music student Liliane lives a quiet, disciplined life. That is, until a man in a bloodstained suit breaks in, locks the door behind him, and calmly says: "Make me coffee." He's not a thief. He's not a beggar. He's Sebastian-cold, powerful, and feared throughout the underground as Mr. Boss. And tonight, he's hiding in her house. A failed assassination. A betrayal from within. A three-year plan hanging by a thread. To survive, Sebastian must vanish from the grid-and Liliane's unlocked door offers the perfect cover. But what begins as a tactical retreat soon spirals into something else. The girl is too quiet. Too obedient. Too easily frightened. And far too beautiful for her own good. As Sebastian tightens his grip on her life-class schedule, phone calls, even the lock on her bedroom door-Liliane begins to realize: This man didn't just break into her home. He's rewriting the rules of her entire existence. She was supposed to be a temporary pawn. But he's already made her his personal territory. A dark, slow-burn romance of obsession, control, and the thin line between protection and possession.

She's used to being the punchline. He's ready to burn down the theater. Journee Doyle has perfected the art of invisibility. As a plus-size woman in a world obsessed with size zero, she knows her role: be the funny friend, the hard worker, and the one who takes every insult with a smile. By day, she's a ghost. By night, she waits tables at the prestigious Nocturne Crown Hotel, serving Manhattan's elite while trying to forget she exists. Until the night she can't. A backhanded compliment from a billionaire guest and a "clumsy" spill of red wine by a jealous waitress leave Journee humiliated in a room full of people who refuse to look her in the eye. She flees, thinking it's just another scar to hide. She's wrong. Someone was looking. Andrés Morales-the elusive, ruthless CEO of the Nocturne Crown empire. A man who rules New York from the shadows. To him, Journee isn't invisible. She is inevitable. Andrés saw the insult. He saw the tears she tried to hide. And when he rewinds the security tape, his fascination snaps into a dark, primal obsession. He doesn't just want to comfort her; he wants to ruin anyone who ever made her feel small. When a custom gown arrives at her doorstep, sent to an unlisted address, Journee realizes this is no fairy tale. It's a hunt. She thinks he's playing a cruel game. She thinks a man like him could never want a woman like her. So she runs. But she's forgetting one thing: Andrés Morales owns the city. And he loves a chase. He doesn't want her to fit into his world. He's reshaping the world to fit her.
