Kira Thompson doesn't trust easily-not after the ambush in East Africa that killed her teammates and ended her military career. Betrayed by her commanding officer and lover, she disappeared into the ruthless world of private security, where emotions are liabilities and trust gets you killed. Liang Jun has everything: wealth, status, and the reckless confidence of a man who's never faced real consequences. As the son of China's ambassador to the UN, he's more interested in Shanghai's nightlife than the credible assassination threats against his life. Bodyguards are inconveniences. Rules are suggestions. And the scarred American woman assigned to protect him? Just another obstacle to ignore. But when the Qing Triad makes their move, Jun realizes Kira isn't just a bodyguard-she's the only thing standing between him and a brutal death. Forced into proximity, their explosive clash of wills ignites into something neither can control. She sees past his careless facade to the man beneath. He sees past her armor to the wounds she hides. As betrayal circles closer and old enemies resurface, Kira must decide: keep her walls up and do her job, or risk everything for a man who's already claiming her shattered heart. In a deadly game where love is the ultimate weakness, survival might cost them everything they never knew they needed. ©️ Relle H

"Your fingers," Alaia murmured, tracing lazy circles against his knuckles, "they weave stories on my skin." Ranvijay huffed a quiet laugh against her hair, his thumb moving slow along her wrist like he had nowhere else in the world to be, which, for once, he didn't. "That's because every touch tells me something new about you. Your touch is my favourite story. Always has been." They didn't start here. Ranvijay Singh Ranawat built two empires before he turned thirty-three and never once let anyone close enough to matter. Love, to him, was a door someone could walk out of, he'd watched it happen once, up close, and decided a long time ago that a life built on work was safer than one built on hope. Marriage wasn't on his list. It never had been. Alaia Sharma lost the two people who were supposed to love her longest before she was old enough to remember their faces. She grew up surrounded by a family that adored her, loud, warm, wonderfully imperfect, and still went to bed some nights aching for something none of them could quite give her. She never stopped believing someone, someday, would choose to stay. She just stopped expecting it. Two grandfathers. One decades-old friendship. A single, gentle proposition: just give each other a chance. That's all we're asking. No pressure. No ultimatums. Just a party, a wine-stained shirt, and a conversation neither of them meant to have. What starts as a favour to their families slowly, quietly becomes - dinners, late-night phone call, small unguarded moment at a time, into a love neither of them saw coming and both of them, eventually, chose with their whole hearts. But some families bury their oldest secrets for a reason. And not every ghost from the past stays gone. A story about the families we're born into, the ones we build for ourselves, and the people who teach us that love was never about being perfect , only about staying.

Overnight, everyone's talking about them. Now Emma has a reputation to repair, Shawn has a chance to step out of the background, and fake dating seems like the perfect solution. At least until staged dates turn into inside jokes, lingering glances, and feelings neither of them saw coming. But the truth has a way of catching up. And when the lie at the center of their relationship finally comes to light, Emma and Shawn have to decide if what they had was just another performance... ...or if it only seems like it.

🌅 Two different worlds. One ticking clock. A love they never saw coming. 🌅 Twenty-seven-year-old Tanu didn't cross oceans for romance. She moved from India to Barcelona for exactly one year to find her freedom. Fiercely independent, bluntly honest, and armed with a sarcastic sense of humor, she is perfectly happy on her own.

He is a highly successful, Spanish businessman who is stern, emotionally guarded, and completely married to his work. Worse, he's a known womanizer, using casual encounters to keep anyone from getting too close. He has no time for real attachment, and zero patience for a temporary expat. It's grumpy meets sunshine. Fire meeting ice. But Barcelona has a way of blurring the lines. What starts as a clash of personalities slowly shifts. But the clock is ticking. Tanu is leaving in a year. Will their cultural differences and the ocean between them tear them apart? Or can a slow-burn love, built on borrowed time, actually last forever? 💫 ━━━━━━━━━━ ✦✧✦ ━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 What to expect in this book: ☕ Slow-burn romance (The real kind.

No one knows that every day she puts on a mask hiding an overwhelming emptiness and exhaustion beneath it.
