At eighteen, Mateo and Adalyn were stolen from their lives - locked away, broken, and remade in someone else's hell. Three years later, freedom came in the form of blood when Mateo killed the man who took them. But survival didn't save them. It changed them. Now, they run a quiet little Airbnb off a back road that never makes it onto maps. Guests come for peace and privacy - and never leave. For Adalyn, it's the thrill. For Mateo, it's the control. Together, they've turned their trauma into pleasure... and their business into a graveyard. Because when you check in with them, you don't check out.

When Octavius crushes on the cute "mall Santa" with the deep laugh and warm eyes, he thinks he's just flirting with a seasonal hire. What he doesn't know is that the man behind the beard is the actual Santa Claus, laying low until Christmas Eve. Their spark turns into something real... right before Santa vanishes without a word. A year later, Santa shows up again like nothing happened-jolly smile, red coat, and the same charm Octavius tried to forget. But Octavius isn't giving in that easy.

When Soila and her fiancé split during the hectic holiday football season, she heads back to the Hamptons to regroup with her family only to bump into an old friend who instantly stirs up old feelings.

Aaliyah Carter always thought she had everything she prayed for steady love, a peaceful home, and a husband who once made her heart race like a stolen getaway car. Back in Chicago, Jamir was all adrenaline and edge: the street-sharp hustler with a soft spot only she could reach. But after a deal went left and cost him more than pride, he vowed to walk a clean path. He landed a six-figure job in Toronto, packed up their life, and promised her a safer future. And she wanted to want it. But the city's quiet nights leave Aaliyah restless. The security cameras, the neat suburban streets, the predictable routine, everything feels too still. Too safe. Too far from the fire Jamir used to carry in his blood. Then his older brother, Kairo, shows up. Fresh out, fresh ink, fresh trouble. Broad shoulders, sharp tongue, and energy that drags chaos in behind him like a shadow. Kairo sees right through her the moment their eyes lock; the hunger she hides, the thrill she misses, the heat she's tried to smother. And when he steps into their lives, all that restless longing ignites. He's everything Jamir buried. Everything Aaliyah thought she left behind. Everything she knows she shouldn't want but does, desperately. What starts as a spark becomes an inferno: stolen moments, whispered threats, and sex so explosive it shakes the foundation of everything she swore she'd protect. Now Aaliyah is caught between two brothers: the man she built a life with...and the man who makes her feel alive. But danger always demands a price. And secrets especially ones born from desire don't stay buried forever. When lust becomes obsession and loyalty becomes blurred, Aaliyah must choose before her marriage, her safety, and her heart detonate in the fallout.

All she wanted was one night. Serenity Monet is young, rich, and successful-but none of that keeps the late-night loneliness away. She's done being the good girl. Done pretending she's satisfied. One night, tired of the silence and her own touch, she slips into a nightclub with one goal in mind: find someone, take him home, and forget about everything else. What she doesn't expect... is him. Malik Cross is smooth, hood-rich, and dangerously magnetic. Their conversation is easy. Their chemistry? Instant. Serenity takes him home that night thinking it's nothing more than a steamy escape from her boredom. But Malik? He's been waiting for this moment. Because Serenity isn't just a stranger at the club. She's his obsession. His fantasy. The woman he's been watching from afar for months. And now that he's finally inside her world, he has no plans of leaving. She wanted one night. He wants forever. Even if he has to take it by force.
