Forbidden-attraction Stories

A Map Without North "What if the stranger you fear is the only one who knows where you belong?" Jessi is eighteen and fiercely independent-working night shifts at a 24/7 convenience store while juggling school, surviving on instant noodles and sheer willpower. Her life is a straight line: study, work, sleep, repeat. Until a stormy midnight brings him. A man too tall for the doorway, too handsome to ignore, and too dangerous to trust-broad shoulders, eyes like midnight, and a gun resting easy at his side. One look and Jessi's world tilts, like a compass needle pulled toward a direction that doesn't exist on any map. Who is he? Why does he keep showing up? And why does every instinct scream run even as something in her heart whispers stay? A story of fear, pull, and the dangerous paths we follow when we're lost.

At Blackridge Academy, excellence isn't optional-it's expected. Nestled in a sprawling campus framed by iron gates and ivy-covered towers, Blackridge boasts the kind of alumni who end up running the world. Here, reputations are made, secrets are currency, and every move is part of a bigger game. Valentina Salvatore was born to win. The girl with a 4.0 GPA, a seat on the student council throne, and an untouchable résumé. Every inch of her existence has been meticulously planned, executed, perfected. She's the model student, the crown jewel of Blackridge-and she's about to graduate on top. Ryker Sinclair? He couldn't care less. With a devil-may-care smirk, a body sculpted from endless football practices, and a bank account most countries would envy, Ryker is Blackridge's notorious golden boy. His nights are filled with red Solo cups and fast cars. His days? Tolerated with sunglasses and hangovers. But beneath the reckless charm lies something darker. A secret. A pressure to carry a legacy he never wanted. They were never supposed to cross paths. Until a bet threatens to ruin everything-and they're forced to work together to keep it buried.
