He's not the kind of man who touches without asking.
But God, she wants him to ask.
Maeve isn't looking for a savior. Marchesi isn't offering salvation. Yet somehow, the quiet between them starts to say everything. In a city built on pace and performance, this is a story of what happens when two bruised hearts learn to slow down, when money, memory, and mystery braid into a connection neither of them saw coming.
How will Maeve handle a man too composed, too unreadable, too generous with nothing in return, and the twist he brings with him, the kind that doesn't knock, just slips quietly into your life and rewrites everything?

Beneath His Hands
She's just turned eighteen-restless, curious, and far too aware of the man who's always been in the background of her life. He's her father's best friend-recently divorced, emotionally bruised, and old enough to know better. At a summer backyard barbecue, one accidental touch changes everything. A spark. A look. A moment neither of them can shake. What begins as tension builds into something dangerous-something they're both too scared to name. Because some lines should never be crossed. But some desires don't care. A slow-burn, age-gap romance wrapped in heat, heartache, and the ache of forbidden want.

Between Us (all of us #1)
I wanted her the first moment I saw her. I was only eight, but my heart's been set on her ever since. I don't know what to call my fixation on her, I don't know if it's just lust. I don't know if it's pure infatuation, or even love. But whatever it is, it's strong. It's unconditional...it's unrefined...but it's unrequited... It's unlawful. And still, no one could convince me that she isn't the one. She is the one. She's the only one. I wanted Aubree. I had to have her, but I had to wait. There's always been a wedge between us. A thick line that's never meant to be crossed. But sometime after my eighteenth birthday I took the first step over it. Nothing between us now-except for the guilt over seducing my best friend's mom. *This book contains some taboo elements, sex, and strong language and is intended for mature readers*Complete

As the guitarist's sister, she was supposed to be off-limits, but she became Draven's "Trouble" instead. Resilient but haunted, she has spent the summer tour navigating a dark, electric frequency with a man who looks at her like she's the only thing worth saving, and the only thing worth destroying. Draven: A lethal rock god with a predatory streak and a silent, unhinged obsession. He doesn't just protect; he claims.

No distractions. No scandals. And definitely no touching his best friend's sister. For Draven and Leona, the "ghost" era was the only way to survive. They existed in the silence, in stolen glances and a heavy, unspoken frequency that hummed beneath the roar of sold-out stadiums. But secrets this dark can't stay hidden in the light of the paparazzi's flash. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✨#1 in enemieswithbenefits #1 in tension #1 in rockstar #4 in oppositesattract #9 in brothersbestfriend #10 in wealthy #11 in secretaffair #22 in olderguy #81 in enemiestolovers #98 in seduction #94 in secretrelationship

He watched her long before he ever touched her. Back when she lived next door - soft, curious, unaware - she thought his silence meant safety. She didn't know restraint could be more dangerous than desire. He was older. Controlled. A man built on rules he never broke. Until her. One moment shattered everything - a line crossed, a truth exposed - and then time pulled them apart, leaving questions, guilt, and an obsession that refused to die. Years pass. Lives change. But obsession does not age quietly. When fate brings them together again, the power has shifted. He is no longer just a man with secrets - he is a CEO feared and respected, a master of control. She is no longer the girl next door - she is his assistant, standing inches away from the past she never healed from. A secret marriage binds them - not with love, but with silence, tension, and unspoken rules. Every interaction becomes a psychological game. Every look carries history. Every touch feels like punishment... and craving. She tries to survive him with logic. Her heart whispers resistance. Her body remembers too much. This is not a story of comfort or easy redemption. It unfolds in phases - obsession, separation, longing, control - shifting between emotional intimacy, psychological warfare, and dangerous desire. Some chapters burn slow. Some chapters burn dark. Some don't burn at all - they cut. Because this is not just about wanting someone. It's about being claimed before you understand the cost. And when the past finally collides with the present, she must decide: Will she break free from the man who has shaped her in silence... Or surrender to the darkness that has always known her name? 🔞 18+ Only Dark Romance • Psychological Obsession • Morally Grey Slow Burn • Multiple Timelines • Forbidden Desire New chapter - Sunday and Wednesday ( per week )Complete
