Qurb-e-Khamoshi (Book 2 in the Qurb Series)
Closeness in Silence
Saadi × Arij
Arij is a storm-lively, reckless, impossible to ignore. She laughs like she owns the world, loves like it's a treasure she refuses to hide.
Saadi, on the other hand, has been forced to grow up too soon. Childhood stolen by responsibilities, a life shaped by fear and duty, he learned early that emotions are dangerous-and love, even more so. He's guarded every feeling, buried every desire, afraid that letting anyone in will break him and that person further.
Then Arij arrives, whirlwind and chaos, demanding more than he knows how to give. She challenges him, teases him, draws him close... and he recoils, rejecting the love he secretly longs for. He can't-he won't-give her the perfect life she deserves.
And just when he thinks he can watch her from afar, a proposal lands in her lap. Someone else. And now the silence between them isn't peaceful-it's screaming.
Promises made in fear. Heartbeats unspoken. And a closeness that doesn't need words... but might just demand everything.
Title: THE ENIGMA'S DEBT
Blurb:
He paid the Devil for a night of pleasure. Now the Devil has come to collect.
Julian Romanov is the "Ice Prince" of Russia. Arrogant. Untouchable. And secretly dying.
To the world, he is a ruthless Alpha heir. In reality, he is an abused Omega hiding his nature with illegal suppressants that are slowly poisoning his blood.
One night of freedom in Italy led to the biggest mistake of his life. He slept with a stranger, left a stack of cash on the nightstand to insult him, and ran away before dawn.
He thought he would never see the man again. He was wrong.
The stranger was Luciano Rossi-the most feared Enigma in Europe. A man who doesn't forgive insults. And he has just arrived in Moscow to sign a deal with Julian's family.
Luciano doesn't want ports. He doesn't want weapons. He pulls a crumpled, blood-stained bill out of his pocket and smiles.
"You treated me like a whore, Julian. You thought you could pay for my time?"
Luciano leans in, his Enigma scentm suffocating the room.
"Keep your money. I'm going to take something else. I'm going to own you until you beg me to stop."
