Aisha Patel didn't exactly leave India for a quiet life in a small American town. She came for a fresh start, but being a people pleaser has a way of messing with your vibe, especially when you're trying to juggle a demanding nurse job, a noisy neighbour, and a firefighter with a big ego and an even bigger commitment phobia. Justin Callahan? Yeah, he's the guy who thinks he's got life figured out. Volunteer firefighter, keeps things casual, definitely allergic to anything resembling a relationship. He's also lowkey obsessed with making fun of how Aisha says "chutney"-which is probably the one thing she hasn't been able to let slide. When their paths cross in the worst way possibhello, car park disaster-these two are basically a walking, talking disaster zone. trying to keep it professional and chill. He's trying to act like he doesn't want to set her hair on fire (in the best way, of course). But after a little too much banter, some unexpected moments of vulnerability, and a whole lot of chaos, they might just discover that there's more to each other than meets the eye. Can they get through the baggage and find something real? Or will this be just another spark that fizzles out before it even gets started? Either way, it's gonna be one hell of a ride.

Queen of the West by Thebellejameson

"You don't belong in this world of mine," Liam whispered, his lips inches from mine. "But I'm selfish, and I can't let you go." "I want to stay," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "I'm falling for you too, Liam." - I should be sneering, laughing even. How blind could he be? Liam Sterling-the killer, master manipulator, the ruthless, untouchable king of New York's underworld-brought to his knees by the one woman sworn to tear him apart. For years, revenge was all I had. Liam destroyed my family, tore my life apart, leaving me with nothing but rage. I rebuilt myself piece by piece, every step driven by the thought of making him pay. But then... I got close to him. Close enough to touch. His touch is fire, burning through every wall I've built. Each kiss, every stolen moment, weakens my defenses, awakening a need that terrifies me. How can I want him like this? Crave him, when every scar I carry is a reminder of all he's taken? I should hate him. I should destroy him. But when he looks at me, when he holds me like I'm something he needs to protect, I'm lost. And as I watch him break, all I feel is a strange, hollow ache where satisfaction should be. How can I keep fighting him, when I'm already falling, already broken, for the man I was supposed to ruin?

And Madi isn't sure it ever will be. ~~ Noah Allard is hunting for a sign there is more to life than his disappointing job as a hospital doctor, his gold digger fiancée and his parents' over bearing need for him to succeed.

Madi and Noah have a past that has marked them both forever. With a solid friendship already cemented in their history 18 years ago, is it really that easy to rebuild lost friendships?
