Genre: Contemporary Office Romance | Slow Burn | Big Event Chaos | Secret Soft Boy

Summary:
In the heart of New York City, Hana Yoon has mastered the art of keeping things strictly professional. After a brutal heartbreak and over a decade of building her life around Lunarelle Beauty, she's finally stepped off the corporate fast lane - swapping late-night emails and CEO crisis calls for Admin/PR work and weekly wellness memos.

That is, until The Veil - Lunarelle's high-stakes, once-a-year fashion gala that makes or breaks half the company's revenue. Hana may have "retired" from chaos, but when the runway lights come on, she's back in heels and holding the clipboard of power.

Enter Adrian Vale - the silver-haired, amber-eyed new analyst with a military past and a habit of showing up exactly when Hana doesn't ask for help. Quiet, observant, and dangerously competent, Adrian is the last kind of man Hana wants to notice her.

She's been burned before. And she's not doing feelings after hours.

But the more he lingers in the corners of her carefully guarded world - watching, helping, waiting - the harder it becomes to keep everything "strictly business."All Rights Reserved

Desire You by ratthegirl

‼️Caution: NSFW STORY‼️ SLOW BURN (but not really) SMUT not a legit book because I simply do not have time for that Vi-Rose Chamberlain has spent years as the devoted girlfriend to Ace Warren - the wealthy golden boy everyone assumes she'll marry. But behind his perfect image lies a trail of lies, neglect, and betrayal. The last straw comes the night she finds him with his freshly returned high school sweetheart, Julia Fables at his families charity ball. Determined to reclaim her independence, Vi-Rose turns to someone she's always trusted: Garrett Rex, her childhood friend... and also Ace's childhood friend. But when a mysterious video surfaces - capturing Garrett heatedly defending Vi-Rose to Ace - whispers ignite within their tight-knit friend group of January Stevens, Haylee Gilbert, Malcolm Jace, and Sean McKinley. Suddenly, the rumors of a secret romance explode, fueling tension, jealousy, and suspicion and Julia Fables doesn't hesitate to stir the pot. As the fallout deepens, Garrett and Ace's friendship begins to fracture, the more Vi-Rose and Garrett lean on each other, the harder it becomes to ignore the electric pull between them - a connection that's equal parts comfort and danger. Now, every glance, every touch, feels like a line they shouldn't cross. As stolen glances turn into lingering touches, and shared confidences become something far more intimate, Vi-Rose and Garrett are pushed to confront the truth. Are they risking everything for a fleeting spark, or have they stumbled into the kind of love that's been waiting for them all along?

The Quiet Between Us by lnsanio

While he was gone, she found herself. Essence didn't believe in soft things. Love had always been loud, painful, and temporary. So when Zion - calm, patient, and everything she wasn't used to - showed up in uniform with a quiet kind of peace, she pushed him away. Then he left for deployment. Now, surrounded by base gossip, silence, and everything she never said out loud, Essence is forced to face the one thing that scares her more than falling in love: being loved right. And Zion? He's not sure who he'll be when he comes home - but he knows exactly who he's coming back for. A slow-burn military love story about distance, healing, and the kind of love that waits - even when everything says to let go.
