Caoimhe Kavanagh and Max Gibson have always been more than just best friends. Their bond runs deep-years of shared laughter, late-night confessions, and an undeniable pull that neither of them has dared to fully explore. But everything changes when Caoimhe finds herself caught up with the wrong guy-someone who shatters her trust, dims her light, and leaves her scarred in ways she can't put into words.
Now, she's built walls around her heart, guarding herself with sharp edges and fake smiles. Love feels like a distant dream-one she no longer believes she deserves. But Max sees through it all. He always has. And no matter how many times she pushes him away, he stays-because he knows the girl behind the pain. He knows her heart. And he's loved her quietly for as long as he can remember.
One night, everything shifts. One stolen moment, one raw, passionate night where Caoimhe finally lets her guard down-and lets Max in. It's fire and tenderness, lust and longing, and it changes everything.
But letting him in once doesn't mean she's ready to trust again. And Max? He's willing to fight for her-for them-because he knows what they have is rare. Unshakable. Undeniable.
Undying.

The Art of Almost Loving You
"Some loves are written in the margins. Ours was scribbled between the lines-messy, unspoken, and impossible to erase." Riya Sharma knows how to love-fiercely, foolishly, and with her whole heart. But when her high school crush rejects her, she retreats into the pages of dark romance novels, where love is all-consuming and endings are never simple. Reality, however, is less poetic... until Aarav Malhotra, the boy who once looked at her like she hung the stars, walks back into her life. Cold, brilliant, and ruthlessly logical, Aarav has always been an enigma. In school, he spoke to her in a voice softer than anyone else's, listened to her rants about books like they were sacred texts, and left sketches of her in his notebooks-though she never knew. But when Riya's indirect confession at their farewell party vanished into silence, she assumed he didn't care. Years later, fate intervenes. Riya, now an aspiring army doctor, crosses paths with Aarav-a prodigious engineer-during a high-stakes medical-tech campaign. The boy who built walls around his heart is now a man who builds bridges. The girl who wrote poetry about love now stitches wounds on battlefields. And the electricity between them? It never dimmed. As they navigate tangled pasts and fragile new beginnings, Riya and Aarav must confront the words they never said and the choices that tore them apart. But this time, walking away isn't an option-not when their love story might be the one worth fighting for.

Little Red and the Big, Bad, Wolf.
BOOK 1 OF THE BIG BAD WOLF SERIES: "R-Roman, stop," He lingers on each kiss, teasing me with his tongue. Sparks erupt. "You make me so damn angry," He says huskily, fanning his warm breath on my neck, making another shiver course through me. He places a kiss right below my ear, and I visibly shudder. He notices. He starts attacking the spot with his lips, and I bite my lip hard trying hard to not let the moan escape me. I involuntarily close my eyes. Everywhere he touches me sparks erupt. He starts sucking on the spot. "R-Roman, pl-please, st-top," I push lightly on his chest, but he doesn't even flinch. I didn't want this to happen, not when he was just being a total asshole 2 seconds ago. "Roman," I practically moan out his name. He starts gently biting me, and I melt into him. I put my hands on his shoulders and push him again, slightly harder this time, but as he keeps attacking my neck, I feel as though all the energy has been drained from me. "You're mine," he says huskily in between kisses. I self consciously nod. "Only mine-" He starts kissing and sucking my jaw, and I refrain from letting out a moan. "And you'll never talk to Dimitri or any of the warriors again." I open my eyes wide at his comment, and I push him back with all my strength. *** They said the Big Wolf was bad... They said no one could tame him... That his heart was made of ice... That he couldn't love anyone and no one could love him. His pack was ruthless... Killed without a second thought.
