Nora never wanted much. Just a steady home. Simple days. A life that held its shape. She didn't crave excitement or change. She only needed predictability. Her routines, her quiet, her small world. It was enough. She believed that if she kept everything perfectly still, the life she had built would hold. And for a long time, it did. But when the ground finally shifted under her feet, Nora didn't move with it. She froze in place, the way people do when they have no other direction to turn. Because where does a person go when they have nowhere to go? Warning: This story uses mature language and scenes. © IcecreamSundae5. All rights reserved.

SKYE: Falling for my boss was never part of the plan. But Rain Ashford wasn't just my boss - he was brilliance behind glasses, arrogance in a tailored suit, and the only man who ever looked at me like I was the only light in a world he'd forgotten could glow. Eight months of secrecy. Eight months of loving him behind closed doors. And I would've sworn what we had was unbreakable. I was wrong. Because all it took was an old flame with wandering eyes, one whisper of scandal, one shift in his loyalty - and suddenly the seams of us began to split. And when the pressure hit, when loyalties blurred and lines crossed, I realized the man who once steadied my nerves might become the one to shatter them. ⸻ RAIN: I spent years mastering discipline - building a life of structure, ambition, and control. Then Skye happened. Chaos. Color. Fire. I wanted her from the first day. I reached for her every second. And still, I managed to hurt her in ways I never meant to. Now she's gone - her sketches missing from my desk, her laughter missing from my days - and I'm left piecing together the mess I made. Loving her was the easy part. Winning back the woman whose trust I broke? That may be the hardest fight of my life.

Obedience kept her alive. Marriage may destroy her. Milan Vescari enters her arranged marriage with a flawless smile and a lifetime of training buried beneath her skin.

Their vows become a battlefield. And the walls around them begin to crack under the pressure of secrets neither can outrun. As alliances shift and danger coils closer, Milan discovers that the man she married is as fractured as she is, and just as capable of breaking the world around them. Two fractured souls ensnared in the same life. One marriage built to fail. And a fight none of them are prepared to lose.

He can conquer markets, rivals, and men - but not the one thing she wants most. A child. When she starts believing her body has finally given her a miracle, the truth waiting behind their perfect marriage is far darker than infertility. Because someone has been keeping her from the life she's been begging for - and the man she trusts most might be the reason. Love was supposed to heal them. But some wounds never heal - they turn Iridescent in the light.

Collin is a heartbroken man on a journey to find self healing. He meets a sweet woman with battles of her own. Just when he's ready to explore the life he and and Nancy could share, his ex fiancée, the woman that shattered his heart comes running back.

And this time, I won't break. TW: Mental Health, Bullying

Dane always said love was like a puzzle: you start with the edges, build a frame, and trust the rest will fall into place. For years, he and Callidora fit perfectly, until his loyalty to his late friend's little sister became the missing piece that didn't belong. What began as compassion twisted into late-night calls, quiet rescues, and promises he had no right to make. When Calli reaches her limits, his apologies are desperate, his love real, but the picture they'd built together had already been pulled apart. Can Dane convince Calli that the picture they once started is still worth finishing, or has their puzzle already fallen apart for good?

Running from hell is hard - especially when the devil you married refuses to let you go. To the world, my husband is perfection. CEO. Philanthropist. Gentleman. To me, he's the monster who taught me that love can burn worse than fire. He always put everything else first - his company, his ambition, even her. I was never enough. So I left. But he's not the kind of man who accepts endings. Now he wants to make things right, to atone for the years he destroyed me. Only this time, his enemies have followed him home - and the man I once loved has become a stranger wearing his face. Because maybe he was never mine to begin with. Maybe I was only ever his penance.

Julia Marcelli thought she'd won the dream. A husband who adored her, a family who lit up her world, and a home on the Miami coast that felt untouchable. But perfection has a way of splintering. Ethan Marcelli is a man who carries secrets as easily as he carries a case file, and when temptation slips into his world, Julia begins to sense cracks in their marriage she can't explain away. Love. Betrayal. Obsession. Control. In a life built on power and secrets, forever always comes with a price. (ETA The Silent Hour is now an omnibus edition, both books in a duet combined into one.

Alessia had rules. She didn't do drama, didn't take nonsense from any man. Until him. For Cassian, she broke every one. A cliché, impossible mother in law? She handled it. Missed dinners because of work? She served herself double and waited anyway. Too tired to spend time together? She embraced the quiet hours alone. She forgot her limits, abandoned her rules. All for him. Until her. The one rule she couldn't break, the limit she couldn't cross. She saw him with her. Broken, she left and whispered a wish she never thought would come true: that she had never met him. The wish was granted. Alessia woke up and didn't remember him. But now Cassian is the one waiting. Running against time to be near her. Chasing every moment, following every rule, just so she might remember him again. And if she can't... Can he remember it all for both of them? © IcecreamSundae5.
