College student Rina Monroe doesn't believe in love-especially not the kind that involves men. After growing up watching her mother suffer at the hands of her father- Rina has built her life around independence, ambition, and a no-nonsense attitude toward romance. Her dreams lie in the city skyline, not in some boy's eyes.

But everything shifts when Amaya-Rina's wild, hopelessly romantic best friend-starts dating someone from their childhood friend group: Drew Carter. Once the boy-next-door Rina secretly crushed on, Drew is now the powerful CEO of a billion-dollar tech company... and possibly the reason Amaya's heart is beginning to crack.

When Amaya begs Rina to test Drew's loyalty, Rina is pulled into a dangerous game-one that stirs old feelings, exposes buried secrets, and challenges everything she thought she knew about love, trust, and herself.

The memory keeper by Shevystone

"Some memories are meant to stay buried." Vivian Quinn has spent years trying to outrun the ghost of her mother's abandonment and the suffocating grip of her stepmother's presence. Now, at university, she's finally building a life of her own-until her roommate introduces her new boyfriend: Matthew. Charming, intense, and eerily familiar, he watches her with a hunger that feels like a warning. Matthew has never forgotten the girl who vanished when his world shattered. Those who don't know him see little more than his kindness and willingness to help. His friends know him as adventurous, spontaneous, and fiercely protective of those he holds dear. But even they don't know all there is to him-his hidden depth, his past, the secrets he keeps even from the ones he loves best. #darkromance
