She's chasing a dream. He's running from everything. But some scars speak the same language.

Sarah Blake came to New York with nothing but ambition and a past she can't escape. Quiet, guarded, and more resilient than she looks, she lands an internship at Foster Publishing-her first step toward becoming an author.

Grant Foster is her boss's son. Rich. Sharp. Untouchable. But beneath the expensive suits and charming smile is a man unraveling behind closed doors.

When their worlds collide, secrets come to light, emotions ignite, and a push-pull relationship spirals into something neither of them can control. He's everything she should stay away from. She's everything he never knew he needed.

But love isn't always soft-and sometimes the ones who save us are just as broken as we are.

πŸ† π–πšπ­π­π²π¬ πŸπŸŽπŸπŸ“ 𝐒𝐑𝐨𝐫𝐭π₯𝐒𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella SolΓ¨ne Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local cafΓ© with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming cafΓ© owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.

The CEO's Counsel by rhonda92
22 parts Complete Mature
Avery Campbell has built her reputation on professionalism, precision, and keeping her emotions locked away. As head of the legal department at Cross Reality & Industries, she's the right hand to the company's brilliant, impossibly handsome CEO, Elijah Cross - and the keeper of a dangerous secret. She's been in love with him for years. Elijah is everything Avery shouldn't want - powerful, engaged, and completely off-limits. His fiancΓ©e, socialite and influencer Sienna Hart, has the world fooled with her perfect smile... but behind closed doors, her claws come out. Everyone in the company knows she's toxic - everyone except Elijah. When a high-stakes merger forces late nights, whispered conversations, and unguarded moments, the line between loyalty and longing begins to blur. Avery can't ignore the heat simmering beneath the surface - or the way Elijah's eyes linger a little too long. But secrets can only stay buried for so long. As betrayal, passion, and power collide, Avery must decide whether risking everything - her career, her heart, and Elijah's future - is worth one forbidden taste of the man she's always loved.
