In the quiet cracks of the South, Destiny never meant to fall back into old habits-or old arms. Life had already bruised her more times than she could count, and she'd worked too hard to build herself back up from every tear, every silence, every "you're better than him." But when a ghost from her childhood pulls up in a fast car and faster promises, Destiny has to choose between the life her family expects and the one her heart can't forget. Jung Hoseok was once the boy who held her hand on the swings. Now, he's "Jay"-a name whispered in alleyways and coded texts. As they orbit one another in a world of blurred lines and buried truths, Destiny learns that love doesn't always come wrapped in safety. Sometimes, it's danger dressed in loyalty. And the heart doesn't break clean. Or in which a Southern girl and her childhood friend-turned-drug dealer fall in love when they were never supposed to.

LONDON JAMES X KIM NAMJOON When to avoidant meets... Neither of them planned to fall. Neither of them knows how to stay. But somehow, in the mess of fame, fear, and late-night honesty, something real begins to unravel. It's not a love story. It's a slow collision. One mistake at a time.

Chase Aria Moore has spent years building a quiet life in Miami. A business marketing and psychology graduate, private chef, single mother, and Southern belle with a dangerous past, Chase has done everything she can to keep her son, Tristan Amir Moore, safe. To the world, they look like a stylish mother-son duo living comfortably in an upscale neighborhood. To anyone trained to look closer, they move like survivors. But when Park Jimin, a twenty-nine-year-old mob boss in waiting, arrives in Miami under orders from his father to expand the family business and make their empire look legitimate, Chase's carefully buried instincts wake back up. New men on the block. Black cars. Silent surveillance. Too many secrets dressed in expensive clothes. Threat level: blue. What begins as suspicion turns into a dangerous slow-burn when Chase and Jimin are pulled into a web of buried bloodlines, forgotten names, stolen children, and family debts that were never truly paid. Chase is not just a woman hiding from her past. She is the daughter of Luca Marcello's house. The hidden Lily of the Marcello family. Trained from childhood to survive if the men failed. And Tristan, the boy she raised as her own, may be tied to a truth far darker than either of them imagined.

Simone thought she'd have her life together by her thirtieth birthday. She was wrong. She's divorced, raising a nine-year-old daughter, and running a law firm. None of that "thirty, flirty, and thriving" bullshit. As far as Simone's concerned, that kind of happiness isn't for her to have. So she works. Raises her kid. Avoids anything reckless, complicated, or enjoyable for her own sanity. But on her thirtieth birthday, Simone decides to do something dangerous: put herself first. Do what she wants. It complicates her life almost immediately. Because of course, one impulsive night with a frustratingly observant detective sends Simone unraveling in ways no courtroom, color-coded schedule, or carefully built routine can fix. Now she's juggling a daughter, a collapsing work-life balance, unresolved grief, a neighborhood that depends on her, and a man who sees through her a little too easily. And she's exhausted. But she'd rather burn her law degree than admit that.

From the short distance between us, he dribbles the ball down towards me, springing up in my hands with a 'v' motion. "Stand straight." He gets behind me and I follow his orders. "Now spread your feet a few meters apart." His foot goes in between mine and I can't help but blush at the size difference between us. "Now bend your knees." I bend my knees, a deep breath striking down through my nose. Is it getting hot in here or whaaat? "Now, for the hard part." He puts his hands on my back, pushing it forward and I gulp at the foreign touch. His hands slide around my waist and guide my right hand to the top of the ball and my left hand to the side, pushing my elbows out in front of me.
