One year ago, Tim Bradford broke Lucy Chen's heart and walked away without explanation. Now Sergeant Lucy Chen is stronger, promoted, and determined to never let him close again. Until she's assigned to a four-month undercover operation. Living in a van. Posing as a couple. Driving from Los Angeles down the coast to Baja, Mexico. With her ex. Every touch is "for the cover." Every kiss is supposed to be fake. But the longer they're trapped together, the harder it is to ignore the tension, the memories... and the questions Lucy never got answers to. Because Tim didn't just leave. He hid something. And somewhere between fake love and real danger, Lucy is about to find out the truth - The real reason he walked away.

They weren't supposed to mean anything to each other. A few late nights. A few stolen hours behind closed doors. It should have been easy - and for a while, it was. But you can only hold your breath for so long before something gives. And some fractures don't show until it's already too late to fix them.

Charming, sharp, and unexpectedly intuitive, Jack saw through her walls with ease. Though he irritated her at times, she found herself drawn to him in ways that scared her. He became the unexpected force that shook her heart and challenged everything she thought she wanted. Dr. Jack Abbot X OFC The Pitt Fanfic

He was born from revenge. Raised in chains. Found by the man he was born to hate. Fifteen-year-old Elias Moretti learned early that love was just another lie. Sold by his own mother to a brutal gang, he survived nine years of pain, blood, and silence - until a mafia war sets him free. His rescuer? Dante Moretti, Italy's most feared mafia don... and the father who never knew he existed. Dante wants redemption. Elias wants nothing. The Moretti brothers want him gone. And then there's Aria - Dante's daughter. The one he raised. The one who shares Elias's eyes... and nightmares. Twins, separated by vengeance. Reunited by tragedy. But the past never stays buried. The gang that owned Elias once wants him - and his sister - back. Blood runs deep. Family runs darker. And some scars were never meant to heal. When blood meets vengeance, who survives the truth? --"You think being rich and guilty makes you my father?" --"No. But I'll keep trying until I earn the right to be."

Currently editing. Things will be changed! Seventeen-year-old Mia Johnson has an uncanny talent for reading people. From the smallest details-a flicker of hesitation, a nervous habit-she can tell who someone is and what they want. It's a gift she's never taken seriously, more instinct than skill, until she meets Lucy Chen-a woman who offers Mia a place to stay and just happens to be a police officer. As trust slowly builds, Mia is drawn into a world where her abilities actually matter. Alongside her other gifted friends, she begins helping Lucy solve cases-cases that hit far too close to home. Including the murder of Mia's parents, a crime that went cold a year after their deaths. What Mia doesn't realize is that reopening the case puts far more at risk than answers. Especially when she brings her friends into it. As pieces fall into place, it becomes clear that her parents' murder was more than a simple break-in-and when the killer strikes again, the danger turns personal. Now trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Mia and her friends must rely on every ounce of their abilities to uncover the truth... and survive long enough to see it. cover: @moonsdxst.wp
