Fifteen years after losing his wife and children, navy veteran Reuven Aronov picks up a stray.
or
A study of mutual pining, held back by the understanding that they can never be anything beyond what they already are, for more reasons than meet the eye. A witnessing of love divine and forbidden; healing long overdue, and the grappling of morality between a woman much too young and the older man she can't liberate herself from.

The Caretaker He Bought
"You're not here to fall in love." "Trust me, sir... I don't even know what that means." She was sold like a possession-traded away by the very people who were supposed to protect her. At just seventeen, she finds herself in a cold, unfamiliar mansion owned by a powerful man known for his silence, strict rules, and a heartbreak he never talks about. His only condition? Take care of his one-year-old daughter. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't enter his study. Never touch him. For her, following orders is nothing new. Obedience has kept her alive this long. But the baby's soft cries break something inside her, and her tender touch begins to warm a house that forgot what love felt like. He tells himself she's just a caretaker. Just a temporary solution. But night after night, she shatters rule after rule...

Hurting You, Loving you
💔 Hurting You, Loving You (Avery LaCroix & Roman St. James - Book Three in The Hurt series) Roman St. James doesn't lose control. Not in court. Not in life. And definitely not over her. Avery LaCroix. Nineteen. Sharp-tongued, reckless, and way too comfortable walking around his apartment like she doesn't set everything on fire. She's also his stepsister. He met her when she was still a teenager. Now she's grown - and staying in his space for the summer. Which is a problem. Because Roman's twenty-five . All clean lines and self-control. And Avery? She's chaos in eyeliner. The temptation he swore he'd never touch. They pretend the tension doesn't exist. That they're not circling something dangerous. But one spark... and it's over. This isn't the kind of love that waits its turn. It's the kind that breaks rules - and hearts - just to feel alive. 🔞 Mature Content Warning 🔞 This story is 18+ and intended for mature readers only.

Beneath His Hands
She's just turned eighteen-restless, curious, and far too aware of the man who's always been in the background of her life. He's her father's best friend-recently divorced, emotionally bruised, and old enough to know better. At a summer backyard barbecue, one accidental touch changes everything. A spark. A look. A moment neither of them can shake. What begins as tension builds into something dangerous-something they're both too scared to name. Because some lines should never be crossed. But some desires don't care. A slow-burn, age-gap romance wrapped in heat, heartache, and the ache of forbidden want.

Closer To You [jikook]
In the quiet spaces between words and silences, they stumble, two fractured souls reaching through the dark. Burnt mornings, tangled nights, and the weight of all the things left unsaid. Love here isn't a gentle flame, it's a storm, fierce and fragile, pulling them closer even as it threatens to tear them apart. This is a story of scars and surrender, of fragile hope whispered beneath broken breaths, and the endless ache of wanting someone to stay .. even when it feels impossible. Closer. Always closer.Complete
