A couple of months is all that twenty-two-year-old Maya has to hold on to before graduation and financial stability set in. Friendless, socially withdrawn, yet academically brilliant, she uses this strength as a distraction from the depression induced by the recent passing of her mother, her emotionally abusive fiancé and one incident which she had hidden from everyone for seven years. 
Until she meets thirty-seven year-old Brian who breaks through her boundaries, and inadvertently realizes his own which expose him to the frightening nature of his vulnerability. 
Complexities and friendships arise. But with them, a question of how much each is willing to give up when the borderline between friendship and romance becomes too thin.All Rights Reserved

Whispers in Secret by NeeksNeika

*** A Steamy Romance *** Ella Montgomery is a fiercely determined law student at Oxford University, juggling her ambitious studies while harboring an undeniable secret crush on Lucien Storm, her father's charismatic best friend. From the moment she first laid eyes on him, Lucien's magnetic presence ignited feelings within her that she desperately tries to suppress. She understands that her future hinges on her education, not on the fantasies of being swept away in his arms. Unbeknownst to Ella, Lucien is equally captivated by her. As the head of a powerful mafia family and a trusted friend of her father, he finds himself torn between his growing desire for the spirited young woman and the weight of his responsibilities. The forbidden nature of their feelings creates a tension neither can ignore, even as they try to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Lucien often finds himself lost in fantasies, imagining the feel of Ella's warm body against his, her nails tracing the intricate tattoos that tell his story, and the way her mouth would taste against him. Each thought is both intoxicating and torturous, as he grapples with the consequences of pursuing a romance that could shatter the bonds of friendship and loyalty. As they both navigate their intense emotions, they face the daunting question: Can love flourish in the shadows of secrecy and loyalty, or will their desires lead to heartbreak and chaos? Their journey will test the limits of their hearts, challenging everything they thought they knew about love, power, and the sacrifices they're willing to make for a chance at happiness. In a world where danger lurks at every corner, Ella and Lucien must decide if they are brave enough to confront their feelings, or if the pain of unrequited love will ultimately consume them both.
