Claire wasn't planning to fall for anyone-especially not her now ex-boyfriend's cousin. But Minho? He has a special way of getting under her skin. Of seeing things she's spent years hiding.

What starts as a forbidden, one-time release quickly becomes something else: late nights, stolen glances, tension thick enough to cut. And when life throws them into close quarters-into the ashes of his mother's struggling café, and dodging the emotional wreckage of past relationships-Claire finds herself slipping deeper into something real. Something dangerous.

Because this isn't the kind of love that burns fast and fizzles.
It simmers. Slow. Hot. Unrelenting.

And if she's not careful, it might undo her entirely.

A slow-burn, emotionally messy, chemistry-heavy romance about rebuilding what's broken-and deciding who's worth staying for.All Rights Reserved

What happens when the love you've been waiting for arrives at the wrong time? She thought she had her life figured out-a stable marriage, a predictable routine, and a carefully constructed world she thought she could live with. But then, he walked in: a man who saw her in ways she hadn't seen herself in years. With him, she felt alive. With him, she felt hope. And with him, she felt love. But love doesn't come without consequences. As their connection deepens, the boundaries blur between right and wrong, and she's torn between the life she's built and the passion she's discovered. When one kiss shatters the fragile control she clings to, she's faced with impossible choices-choices that could destroy everything or redefine what it means to truly live. Raw, emotional, and heartbreakingly honest, The Cost of Feeling Seen explores the complexity of love, the weight of desire, and the price of following your heart when it goes against everything you've ever known. Will she risk it all for a love that may never be hers, or will she let it slip away to protect the life she's always known?

"Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?

She thought she had him figured out-Xavier, her high school crush, the boy she'd pined for for years, the one who broke her heart without even trying. But when she walks out of the café humiliated and heartbroken, she doesn't expect the night to spiral into a haze of alcohol, reckless decisions, and a single encounter that will change everything. The next morning, she wakes up somewhere unfamiliar, naked, vulnerable... and realizes the man she lost herself to isn't just a stranger. He's been watching her, following her, knowing her in ways she doesn't even understand. Possessive, intoxicating, and terrifying, he claims her as his own. What begins as fear and uncertainty slowly twists into a dangerous, consuming obsession. As their worlds collide, lines blur between love and possession, trust and control, desire and danger. And in the heat of it all, she discovers that surrendering to him may be both the most terrifying-and thrilling-thing she's ever done.
