Noah ha tutto ciò che si può desiderare: il volto perfetto delle serate di gala, un cognome che apre porte e un futuro già tracciato dal padre, uno degli avvocati più potenti della città, che ha già scritto per lei un futuro fatto di sentenze, potere e controllo. Per tutti è la ragazza dalla vita perfetta destinata a prendere in mano lo studio legale di famiglia, ma nessuno immagina cosa nasconde dietro tutti quei sorrisi finti e i vestiti firmati. Theo, al contrario, non ha mai avuto nessuno a disegnargli un futuro. Cresciuto in un quartiere dove i sogni si spengono in fretta, ha imparato a lottare per ogni piccola cosa. Con un padre assente e una madre intrappolata nell'alcol, ha dovuto fare da genitore al fratellino molto prima di essere pronto per prendersi quella responsabilità. Il suo mondo è fatto di sopravvivenza, non di sogni. Eppure, anche lui nasconde qualcosa: un passato che lo ha segnato nel profondo e una rabbia che non ha mai trovato pace. Due mondi opposti che non avrebbero mai dovuto sfiorarsi. Due destini così distanti da sembrare inconciliabili. Eppure, quando si incontrano, qualcosa cambia. Ma quando l'amore nasce da una collisione del genere può davvero resistere al peso dei segreti? 🌸🌺🌷

Grayson Wallace is out for revenge. As the son of a well known serial killer, Grayson has a reputation that precedes him. Cold, concealed, and above all else, dangerous. Layla Harrington is the opposite. She's easy going and loves to see the best in people. So when she tries to see the best in Grayson, he can't seem to understand why. (Dark themes & language)

She was never supposed to survive. Lexi was just a girl trying to live a normal life-until one night pulled her into a world of blood, power, and secrets that were never meant to be uncovered. Adrian Moretti was never supposed to fall in love -especially not with her. But in a world where loyalty is lethal and trust gets you killed, the most dangerous thing isn't the war between empires- it's what they feel for each other. Because some wars don't end with bullets. They end with choices. And this time... love might not be the thing that destroys them. It might be the only thing that saves them.

Alex Hawkins is good at two things: hockey and getting what he wants. Cora LeBlanc is not something he was supposed to want. It starts with a bet. (Bad idea) Then turns into something else. (Worse idea) And before either of them can fix it, it's already too late. Because Cora doesn't do games. And Alex was never supposed to make this one real. Oops.

London swore she had Holden Carter figured out - cocky, annoying, and exactly the kind of guy she'd never fall for. Holden was just as sure London wasn't worth the effort. So naturally, they end up accidentally spending more time together than either of them planned... and liking it more than they're willing to admit. Between forced hangouts, a brutally honest six-year-old, and two best friends who refuse to mind their business, whatever this is between them starts to feel less like a coincidence and more like a problem. A good one.

He looks like he might close the space between us. He looks like he wants to. My brain supplies a dozen sane exits. My body refuses every one. He looks as if he might kiss me. So I do something- exactly the kind of crazy I'm proud of but later I regret. I bite him right on the shoulder. He's in a tank, and my teeth definitely sink in. "What the hell?" he jerks back with a sharp laugh, stumbling slightly. "Did you just bite me?" "I panicked!" I defend, a little too quickly. "You don't have to mark me when I'm already yours, Swan." he says. Excuse me? "What!?" I blink, nearly tripping over my own foot. "What did you just say?" He shrugs, all cool and composed, "I'm already yours." he repeats, like it's nothing. Like it's not the verbal equivalent of a punch to the stomach and a kiss to the soul. My jaw drops. "Are you- are you okay?" "Perfectly," he says, then taps his shoulder. "Just sore though." ✧𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.✧ ✩Amara Fontaine, a 24 year old ballerina.

"K-Kane!" she gasped, her hands instinctively landing on his shoulders. He smirked. "What?" Her cheeks were flushed, her breathing uneven. "Stop that." His hands slid over her waist, securing her in place. "Why?" She swallowed hard, eyes darting away. "You're making my heart beat too fast." Kane took her small hand and placed it against his chest. His heart was pounding just as violently as hers. "Like mine?" he asked, voice lower, more intense. By day, Kane is a tech billionaire, dominating boardrooms with his sharp mind and icy demeanor. By night, he's a ruthless underground boxer, unleashing his demons with every brutal punch. No one gets close-until Mona. She's small, shy, and too damn sweet for his world. With fiery red hair and innocent green eyes, she's the only softness he's ever known. But behind her hesitant smiles lies a dark past, one that haunts her in nightmares she refuses to talk about. When a storm forces her to stay the night, lines blur. One kiss turns into obsession. One secret could destroy them both. Can Kane protect her from the past she won't reveal-or will his own darkness consume them first? * I DO NOT OWN THE PICTURE *

He was her past. Now he's everything she should stay away from. Lily thought she'd moved on from the boy who disappeared without a trace. Until she sees him again. Bloodied, brutal, and untouchable in an underground ring. Ronan Vale isn't the boy she knew. He fights like he has nothing left to lose. Lives like he doesn't care if he survives. But the tattoo on his shoulder tells a different story. Her name. Her memory. Her. Pulled back into his world of violence and secrets, Lily realizes the truth is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Because Ronan didn't just leave. He was forced to. And the people who took him? They're not done yet.

Book one in the Westbridge U series Eighteen-year-old Grace Carter has spent her life hiding from the truth of her broken home, enduring the cruelty of an alcoholic father in the small town of Willow Springs, Texas. Her only escapes are the books she reads and the cheerleading routines she uses to mask the scars of her reality. All she wants is a way out, a chance to live her life on her own terms. Enter Jaxon Reed-the charismatic, cocky captain of Westbridge University's hockey team. At 18, he's already a hockey prodigy, and everyone knows it. He's got everything-looks, talent, and the confidence that comes with it. But underneath the bravado, Jaxon carries a past that haunts him, one he's not ready to confront. When they're paired together for an English project, neither Grace nor Jaxon is thrilled. Grace sees Jaxon as just another entitled athlete, while Jaxon thinks Grace is too distant to care about. But as they spend more time together, something unexpected happens. Jaxon begins to notice Grace's hidden pain, the way she flinches at loud noises and keeps people at arm's length. Grace, in turn, starts to see the cracks in Jaxon's perfect exterior-his reliance on hockey as an escape from a past that refuses to let him go. What begins as forced proximity soon becomes something neither of them saw coming-an undeniable connection that neither of them is prepared for. As their secrets unravel, they'll discover that sometimes, the most broken people are the ones who heal each other.
