"You're not here to fall in love." "Trust me, sir... I don't even know what that means." She was sold like a possession-traded away by the very people who were supposed to protect her. At just seventeen, she finds herself in a cold, unfamiliar mansion owned by a powerful man known for his silence, strict rules, and a heartbreak he never talks about. His only condition? Take care of his one-year-old daughter. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't enter his study. Never touch him. For her, following orders is nothing new. Obedience has kept her alive this long. But the baby's soft cries break something inside her, and her tender touch begins to warm a house that forgot what love felt like. He tells himself she's just a caretaker. Just a temporary solution. But night after night, she shatters rule after rule... And soon, his heart becomes the final one to break. 🎯 π†πžπ§π«πž Genre: Romance / Drama / Slow Burn / Hurt-Comfort Age rating: 16+ (emotional abuse themes, mature emotional content)

Ava Quinn never knew what to make of Nolan Winters. Her best friends' troubled brother who lived next door. The boy who disappeared only to remerge with black eyes. The boy who hid secrets from everyone around him. The boy who eventually left for college, fading away as a small part of her old life. Six years later when Nolan reappears, everything's different. He's different. Ava finds herself tangled in this new version of him, his stable photography career, his attempts at bridging the gap between his family. She thinks she hates him, that she wants nothing to do with him, but fate seems to have their paths constantly crossing. Suddenly there's something new... Moments alone. Stares. Touching. Things are slipping beyond the barrier of platonic, a new found intoxication drawing them together. It doesn't help that Nolan's sister has strictly warned him away from Ava, or that Nolan's secretive past is creeping into the future... The weight of their tension is burning, hot, and very soon they'll both be drowning. πŸ–€ π˜½π™€π™Žπ™ π™π™π™„π™€π™‰π˜Ώπ™Ž π˜½π™π™Šπ™π™ƒπ™€π™ πŸ–€ π™Žπ™‡π™Šπ™’ π˜½π™π™π™‰ π™π™Šπ™ˆπ˜Όπ™‰π˜Ύπ™€ πŸ–€π˜Ώπ™π˜Όπ™‡ π™‹π™Šπ™‘ πŸ–€ 18+ π™ˆπ˜Όπ™π™π™π™€

When she's forced into a marriage alliance with the cold and powerful Orlando Lombardi, she doesn't protest. She knows better. Orlando isn't interested in soft things. He doesn't need affection. What he needs is loyalty-and the girl he's been given is a means to an end. But behind quiet eyes, Isabella carries secrets. And beneath Orlando's steel exterior is a man who sees more than he should. As power shifts and hidden loyalties threaten to surface, the house she's leaving-and the man she's bound to-may both be more dangerous than she imagined. One home made her silent. The other wants to hear her scream. ~ "Tell me to stop and I'll stop," he says, his voice rough with restraint. "If you don't tell me right now, I may not be able to hold myself back." My body is vibrating with need, and I don't answer for a beat. When I finally find my voice, the shock of my own words surprises me. "I need you, Orlando. Please."
