Katerina and Macius were a picture-perfect couple. Five years of shared dreams, whispered promises, and stolen kisses had woven their lives together into a tapestry of love. But beneath the surface, a secret simmered, a secret that would shatter their world. It was a secret that involved Macius's twin brother, Marcus.
Marcus had loved Katerina for as long as he could remember. He watched her from the shadows, a silent guardian angel, his heart aching with every stolen glance. His love was a silent symphony, played only for her, a melody drowned out by the roar of his brother's affections. Yet, Macius's affections weren't even directed at Katerina. He was, in fact, courting her sister, leaving Marcus's heart to bleed in the silent spaces between.
Desperation gnawed at Marcus. He couldn't bear to see Katerina fall for his brother, the man who didn't deserve her love. Driven by a desperate hope, he hatched a daring plan. He convinced Macius, fueled by a mixture of guilt and a twisted sense of loyalty, to play the role of the twin brother.

Chasing the Browns
Life was going okay...until I found out I had a stalker. That's when everything changed. ~~~~~ That’s when I heard the fence give way. I bolted for my left and sprinted as fast as I could. The rain burned my eyes and I had no idea where I was going. I was running blindly in a dark alleyway to God knew where. And, somehow, I knew I wouldn’t make it through without being caught. All of a sudden, I felt myself hurtling through the air. I let out a scream when my head made sickeningly painful contact with the slimy ground beneath me. That’s when he caught up with me. That’s when he dragged me to my feet, only eyes visible beneath his black mask. That’s when he whispered, ‘Keep still, and you won’t get hurt.’ Stupidly and feebly, I thrashed in his grip. And that’s when I caught a glimpse of the wet blade that glistened with rain drops, before he pressed it against my throat. Cliche, with a twist. Enjoy :) (It's better than it sounds, I promise!) #166 Mystery/Thriller #230 RomanceComplete

Starving for love
Zoe Adam was a master at pretending. At eighteen, she'd perfected the art of silence, smiling when expected, nodding at the right moments, keeping her secrets tucked away in her heart. It was safer that way. With three siblings, a chaotic dysfunctional Latin household, and parents who wore kindness like a mask, Zoe learned early that love could sting just as easily as it could soothe. Her mother could call her mi vida in one breath, then leave bruises seen and unseen in the next. Her father? He floated in and out, too wrapped in his own storms to notice the ones he left behind. None knew anything. her sisters who witnessed everything but didn't say anything, had their own shields. Not her brother, who tried to be the hero but never saw what needed saving.

Nineteen, half-Italian and Puerto Rican, . He moved to London that summer, taking the flat right next door. To most, he was just the new guy with the sharp jaw, quiet hazel eyes, and that permanent don't-get-too-close look. But to Zoe, he was more than that. He was her brother's best friend.

The one who disappeared after his parents split and reappeared years later with more muscle, and a haunted look she couldn't stop staring at. Hayden had his own shadows. His past was littered with broken things promises, people, places he no longer called home. Coming back to London was supposed to be a reset, not a reunion. But fate had other plans for him. Now, he lives just a few steps from Zoe's window. Too close to ignore, too far to touch. And despite the years, the distance, and the damage they see each other in a way no one else does. Two hearts with locked doors. Two people who never meant to collide again.Complete
