Lola thought she had it all figured out. A steady 9-to-5, minimal drama, and lunchtime gossip with her best friend-this is what being an adult is supposed to look like, right? Sure, dodging PC Tim's unwanted advances has become a daily ritual, but it's a small price to pay for a quiet, predictable life. After all, this is what she wanted. It's why she left.
Cam was born into chaos. Raised in a world of crime, power, and ruthless loyalty, it's all he's ever known-and he's thrived in it. Untouchable. Feared. Always in control. But something's missing. Something that made the darkness feel less cold. She was his-until she vanished without a trace.
When their worlds collide again, Lola and Cam are forced to confront the truth: some ties never really break. But with secrets, danger, and unfinished business between them, can two people from opposite lives find something real-or will the past destroy their second chance?

Buried In Their Hate
Mirabel never knew what family was like-until the truth tore her world apart. Switched at birth and raised by a man she believed to be her father, her life has been a relentless struggle for survival. But when the shadow of her past finally catches up, Mirabel is thrust into the opulent yet dangerous world of her real family-a ruthless mafia dynasty she never knew existed. Six brothers, each darker and colder than the last, greet her not with love or relief, but with cruelty and contempt. Instead of the warmth of reunion, Mirabel faces suspicion, rejection, and a sinister game of power where trust is a luxury she cannot afford. In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and betrayal hides behind every smile, how far will Mirabel go to claim her place? And what secrets lie beneath the polished mask of her family's empire? Prepare to dive into a story of shattered identities, dark secrets, and survival against impossible odds. Mirabel's journey is just beginning-and in this world, the line between protector and enemy is dangerously thin. ______ {Sometimes I'd laugh to myself in the empty halls, the sound brittle and broken, because what kind of teenager thinks about dying more than they think about living? What kind of girl feels like her bones and her blood are her only companions? The kind of girl I had become}.
