L lives by one rule-never get attached. As one of the most feared enforcers in the city's underground, she's known for her cold heart, sharp fists, and a past she refuses to talk about. But when her boss assigns her a new job-protecting his only son-everything changes.
Aiden Kane is nothing like the world she knows. He's quiet, detached, and drowning in the weight of secrets he won't share. Tasked with guarding him from an unseen threat, L is forced to blend into his elite private school-where the rich play games, and power is everything. But Aiden isn't the one in charge. His best friend, Liam, runs the school with an iron fist, and when he sets his sights on breaking L, she doesn't flinch.
She's not here to play. She's here to keep Aiden alive.
But as the lines blur between duty and desire, one reckless night changes everything. Now, L faces a new danger-one she never saw coming. Falling for the one boy she was never supposed to touch.
In a world where loyalty can be deadly, protecting Aiden means risking everything-even her heart.
When you've spent your whole life fighting, what happens when the one person you're supposed to protect becomes the one you can't let go?

Queen of the West
"You don't belong in this world of mine," Liam whispered, his lips inches from mine. "But I'm selfish, and I can't let you go." "I want to stay," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "I'm falling for you too, Liam." - I should be sneering, laughing even. How blind could he be? Liam Sterling-the killer, master manipulator, the ruthless, untouchable king of New York's underworld-brought to his knees by the one woman sworn to tear him apart. For years, revenge was all I had. Liam destroyed my family, tore my life apart, leaving me with nothing but rage. I rebuilt myself piece by piece, every step driven by the thought of making him pay. But then... I got close to him. Close enough to touch. His touch is fire, burning through every wall I've built. Each kiss, every stolen moment, weakens my defenses, awakening a need that terrifies me. How can I want him like this? Crave him, when every scar I carry is a reminder of all he's taken? I should hate him. I should destroy him. But when he looks at me, when he holds me like I'm something he needs to protect, I'm lost. And as I watch him break, all I feel is a strange, hollow ache where satisfaction should be. How can I keep fighting him, when I'm already falling, already broken, for the man I was supposed to ruin?

The assassin's love
Olivia Luciana Reyes is the daughter of Victor Reyes, the feared leader of a dangerous gang. Though she's grown up in this violent world, she's never fully embraced it. She's been taught to trust only her inner circle, but deep down, Olivia longs for a way out-a life free from the bloodshed and betrayal that define her father's empire. Beneath her confident, calculating exterior, she dreams of breaking free, even if doing so could come at a high price. James Thornton is a ruthless assassin, working for a shadowy organization that operates outside the law. Tasked with infiltrating the Reyes gang, his mission is simple: gain Victor Reyes' trust, use his daughter Olivia as leverage, and eliminate the threat. Cold and efficient, James is trained to manipulate, deceive, and eliminate without hesitation, his emotions buried deep beneath years of training. However, when he meets Olivia, something shifts. She's not just a pawn in his mission-she's a complication he wasn't prepared for. The more time he spends with her, the more he begins to question his orders. Olivia senses there's more to James than his story, and the walls he's built around his emotions start to crumble. As the line between duty and desire blurs, James faces a brutal choice: betray the organization he serves, or abandon Olivia, a woman who's stolen his heart. With both their lives at risk, James realizes that loving her could destroy everything he's ever known.
