[*Short Chapters]
Three years ago, Lana Hayes had her heart shattered by the only man she ever loved. Without warning, Aston Windsor-the man who once promised her forever-ended their relationship with cold indifference, claiming he never loved her. No explanation. No closure. Just a brutal, heartbreaking goodbye.
Determined to escape the wreckage, Lana left Chicago behind, throwing herself into law school and rebuilding her life from the ground up. Now, with a law degree in hand and a coveted job offer, she returns to the city she swore she'd never step foot in again.
But there's one problem.
Her new employer? Aston Windsor.
Wealthy, powerful, and as unreadable as ever, Aston is the CEO of the firm she's just been hired at. And while he acts like she's nothing more than another employee-formal, distant, completely unaffected-he's suddenly turning up more often, watching her in a way that makes her skin prickle.
Lana doesn't believe in second chances. Not with him. So if Aston Windsor thinks he can waltz back into her life and play his games again, he's in for a rude awakening.
Because this time, she's the one holding the cards. And she has a plan.
Even if it means playing a dangerous game of jealousy.
Even if it means pretending she doesn't still feel something for him.
Even if the truth behind their breakup is much darker than she ever imagined.
After all, some loves don't burn out.
They smolder beneath the ashes, waiting to ignite again.

Allison Waters has her entire high school life planned out-perfect grades, student council presidency, and absolutely no distractions. That is, until the school's biggest slacker, Nikolai Anderson, is suddenly forced to work with her. Nikolai is everything Allison can't stand-lazy, irresponsible, and far too smug for his good. He seems to enjoy annoying her at every opportunity, turning every interaction into a game of wits. But when their teachers decide that Nikolai needs to mature, he's assigned to help plan the Valentine's Day dance alongside Allison. Now, they're stuck together-choosing decorations, managing budgets, and spending way too much time in each other's presence. At first, Allison is convinced it's going to be a nightmare. But as they're forced to work side by side, she starts to see a different side of Nikolai-one that's funny, kind, and surprisingly thoughtful. Before she knows it, she doesn't hate his presence as much as she thought. Maybe she even enjoys it. But just as things begin to shift, rumors start spreading-ones that make Allison question everything she thought she knew about Nikolai. Betrayal stings, and suddenly, the growing connection between them shatters. With the Valentine's dance approaching and the truth finally coming to light, will Allison be able to let go of her pride and admit how she feels? And will Nikolai prove that he's more than just a class clown?Complete
