In a world where trust is a luxury, secrets are deadly, and love is the most dangerous weapon of all...

Avery Caine thought she was just another orphan with a quiet life-until the brutal murder of her guardian shatters everything she knows. Now, hunted and tangled in a past she doesn't remember, she has only one choice: trust him.

Rick Conrad. Cold. Dangerous. A man with too many demons and not enough patience. He works in the shadows, fueled by vengeance, but when his path collides with Avery's, the last thing he expects is her-defiant, tempting, and completely off-limits.

But danger has a way of pulling people together. And sometimes, the line between hate and desire is razor-thin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

🔥 "Piccola," he murmured, tilting his head slightly. His voice was smooth-dangerous in the way it sent a shiver down my spine. "Even when I've warned you a million times about rolling your eyes at me... you still make the same mistake."

My throat dried.

He leaned in, his lips ghosting over the shell of my ear. His next words were a slow, deliberate whisper.

"Or maybe..." His fingers trailed up my arm, featherlight. "You do it on purpose."

I swallowed hard.

"Maybe you want to make the same mistake again and again... just to be punished."

My breath hitched.

I bit my lip, and the moment I did, his gaze dropped-straight to my mouth.

Something in his eyes flickered. Darkened.

Before I could even think, his lips crashed against mine-hard, demanding, leaving no room for hesitation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As enemies close in and the past refuses to stay buried, Avery and Rick must decide-survive apart or burn together.

One thing's for sure.

They were never meant to fall in love.

But it's far too late for that.

Dangerously Marry  by AlitaOlwen_31
15 parts Ongoing Mature
For 3 years, they worked side by side, never realizing they were partners in more ways than one. As elite spies for the same agency, they always operated behind masks, their identities hidden even from each other. But one fateful night, the truth came to light-and instead of tearing them apart, it only made them stronger. While adjusting to their new reality as both spouses and field partners, Avery remains fixated on a personal mission: finding her younger sister, Ava, who vanished without a trace three years ago. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that her sister's disappearance is no ordinary case-it's a carefully orchestrated cover-up with deadly players pulling the strings. The trail leads her into the shadows of the criminal underworld, where whispers of a ruthless organization surface-one that deals in deception, assassinations, and erasing people from existence. As she follows the leads, she uncovers chilling connections: coded messages left behind, names that shouldn't exist, and a shocking revelation-her sister may not have been taken; she may have chosen to disappear. Now, with powerful enemies watching her every move, she and her husband must navigate a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Old ghosts resurface, deadly truths unravel, and the closer she gets to the answer, the clearer it becomes-finding her sister might not be the hardest part. Facing the truth of what she has become might be. Because in a world built on deception, the person you love the most might just be the one you fear.
