She grew up in a broken home- a mother grinding a 9-5 just to survive, and a father who gave her the world... before prison took him away. As an only child, she learned two things early: from her dad: how to want more from her mom: how to get it herself. But when she refused college, her mother slammed the door in her face, leaving her homeless at eighteen. With nothing but a duffel bag and stubborn pride, she crossed state lines and rebuilt her life from the ground up, earning every dollar under the neon lights of The Velvet Whisper. Comfort. Independence. Control. She thought she finally had it all- until Grim, the silent, dangerous owner of the club set his sights on her. And when Grim wants something? He always takes it.

"Feel my heartbeat racing, baby, you're on fire." Miriam Whittaker and Camden Hayes have hated each other since ninth grade (it was really one-sided). Now, Twenty-seven years old, sharp-tongued, and stubborn as ever, their rivalry has survived high school, college, and everything in between. Miriam has her hands full raising her seven-year-old son while building a career as a sports mental health specialist. Camden has always been untouchable - a star wide receiver destined for greatness. But life has a way of humbling even the best: a torn ACL, the loss of his mother, and suddenly... Miriam is his only hope. Now, forced into close proximity, old grudges and buried memories reignite. They can't stand each other, but the fire between them refuses to die. And as Camden leans on Miriam for guidance, they're both forced to confront a truth neither expected: some fires aren't meant to be put out... ©𝐙𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒𝐑𝐈 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓

Being a mom wasn't part of her five-year plan - especially not alone. At twenty-six, Ava Mitchell juggles a full-time job, a preschooler who refuses to nap, and a stack of unpaid bills. Her family stopped calling years ago, her friends drifted away, and she's doing everything she can just to make it through the day without breaking down. But when a stranger starts showing up at the small coffee shop where she works - a quiet man with kind eyes and his own share of scars - Ava's routine begins to shift. She doesn't have time for love. She barely has time to sleep. Yet somehow, between spilled coffee, missed buses, and bedtime stories, she starts to remember what it feels like to hope again. Because maybe "holding it together" isn't about being perfect - it's about letting someone hold you when you can't anymore.
