Aria is a story of power, deception, and a dangerous legacy that refuses to let go. After her father's death, Aria is thrust into a world of crime, betrayal, and blood-soaked loyalties. But this isn't just about survival-it's about uncovering the truth.
Betrayed by those closest to her, Aria has learned that trust is a weapon just as deadly as a bullet. Yet, no matter how many times she's been stabbed in the back, she refuses to break-because there's one thing more important than revenge: finding her brother's back.
But when she crosses paths with Blaze Ivan Lorenzo-the son of her father's most dangerous enemy-everything she thought she knew begins to crumble. Lies blur with the truth, enemies become harder to recognize, and the line between love and destruction fades.
In a world where loyalty is a game and the heart is the ultimate weakness, how far will she go to protect what's hers?

Uncharted Hearts: meant to be, always.
Some games are too dangerous to play... especially when your heart is the prize. Ariana thought a transfer to a new university would mean a clean slate, a chance to leave behind old wounds and finally focus on her future. But the last thing she expected was him. Ivan Garcielle. Too confident, too powerful, too devastatingly handsome for his own good. The kind of man who walks into a room and owns it without saying a word. The kind of man Ariana swore she would never lose herself to. From the start, Ivan is a contradiction, infuriating yet magnetic, reckless yet controlled, a playboy who seems to notice far too much about her. He pulled her into a world of wealth, secrets. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, the pull between them grows stronger... and far more dangerous than either of them imagined. What Ariana doesn't know is that Ivan has his own reasons for pulling her into his world, a dangerous game where the line between truth and lies blurs with every stolen glance. But the closer they get, the more dangerous their connection becomes, until love itself feels like the most reckless gamble of all. And once the truth is finally, uncovered, nothing will ever be the same again. In a place where loyalty can cut deeper than betrayal, and love feels as perilous as revenge, Ariana must decide if trusting Ivan will save her, or destroy her. Fun fact: Some of this story's most intense moments were polished with a little help from AI. But every secret, every idea, every heartbreak, every twist? 100% mine so please read it. Thank you 😊

THE STREET ARTIST AND THE CEO
When worlds collide, sparks fly in the most unexpected places. Aria Vale lives for the rhythm of the streets-her days are filled with splashes of color, murals on hidden walls, and the freedom of expression that only art can give her.

Neither expects the undeniable chemistry that follows-or the way they challenge each other's worlds.
