Mallory Sinclair is a 22-year-old engineering student in her final year - brilliant, bold, and full of life. As the daughter of a wealthy businessman, she could easily live in luxury, but Mallory's heart is as generous as her beauty. Despite her privileged life, she's down-to-earth, kind to those less fortunate, and carries herself with confidence. With curves that catch attention and a presence that lights up any room, she's the kind of woman who leaves a lasting impression.
But when a terrifying death threat targets her, everything changes. Her father refuses to take any risks.
To ensure her safety, he hires Dante Romano - a 40-year-old bodyguard with a deadly reputation. Ruthless, intense, and dangerously attractive, Dante lives by his own rules and isn't known for his soft side. Babysitting a headstrong, free-spirited young woman wasn't part of his plan.
The tension between them is instant - a clash of fire and ice. Mallory's defiance tests Dante's patience, while his cold, unyielding nature leaves her furious... and intrigued. But as danger circles closer, so does the undeniable pull between them.
Will the growing heat between them ignite into passion, or will the walls they've built keep them apart?

reticent
Amalia Romano is sixteen years old now. Still a dancing prodigy, she lands herself a photoshoot for a magazine that'll help her get to where she wants to be. It seems like everything's going perfectly fine. Her grades are booming, she has a nice circle of friends and her family adore her. She's content, happy and finally safe where she is. Nothing can go wrong. That's what she thinks until Archer King, the typical bad boy, enters her life--brown hair so dark it's almost black, almost always obscured by his motorcycle helmet. Tattoos he's definitely not allowed embedded into his skin, and a careless attitude that clashes with hers. After a messy mix up in school, she decides to ignore him.. until she gets assigned to work with him for a project that'll make up a large chunk of her final grade for the year. Not only does she have to put up with him, but she also has to hide him from her family, since he's the exact type she's always been warned away from. She also has to juggle more than one relationship in her already hectic life. [COVER BY @sugarhighstoned]Complete

Behind Closed Doors
I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family. In an attempt to find light in her situation, she makes friends with one of the members. Logan Grant was forced into the gang at the young age of 16. He was abused until he became emotionless and ruthless, so that one day, he could rule the gang. Everything was going smoothly until Skylar is brought in. With a blindfold wrapped around her head, he instantly feels bad for her, though he cannot show it. Afraid of getting caught, he shows no emotion while others are around. Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.Complete
