"In his world, silence is law."
Ari Walker built her career on justice. As a sharp, principled criminal defense lawyer, she's sworn to never let another killer walk free-not after the man who murdered her brother escaped without consequence. Ari doesn't bend the rules. She doesn't take shortcuts. And she definitely doesn't get involved with criminals.
Until he walks into her life.
They call him The Midnight. A ghost in the streets. A myth whispered in fear. Ruthless, calculating, and untouchable, Dave rules an empire hidden beneath the city's surface-one built on power, loyalty, and blood. No one sees him. No one speaks his name. And when he wants something, he gets it.
And now, he wants Ari.
Drawn into a world she's spent her life fighting against, Ari must decide where her loyalties lie-between the law she's sworn to uphold, and the man who makes her question everything she believes. But secrets have consequences, and the deeper she falls for Dave, the closer she gets to a truth that could destroy them both.
Because in his world...
There are no second chances.
No forgiveness.
And absolutely-

Uncharted Hearts: meant to be, always.
Some games are too dangerous to play... especially when your heart is the prize. Ariana thought a transfer to a new university would mean a clean slate, a chance to leave behind old wounds and finally focus on her future. But the last thing she expected was him. Ivan Garcielle. Too confident, too powerful, too devastatingly handsome for his own good. The kind of man who walks into a room and owns it without saying a word. The kind of man Ariana swore she would never lose herself to. From the start, Ivan is a contradiction, infuriating yet magnetic, reckless yet controlled, a playboy who seems to notice far too much about her. He pulled her into a world of wealth, secrets. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, the pull between them grows stronger... and far more dangerous than either of them imagined. What Ariana doesn't know is that Ivan has his own reasons for pulling her into his world, a dangerous game where the line between truth and lies blurs with every stolen glance. But the closer they get, the more dangerous their connection becomes, until love itself feels like the most reckless gamble of all. And once the truth is finally, uncovered, nothing will ever be the same again. In a place where loyalty can cut deeper than betrayal, and love feels as perilous as revenge, Ariana must decide if trusting Ivan will save her, or destroy her. Fun fact: Some of this story's most intense moments were polished with a little help from AI. But every secret, every idea, every heartbreak, every twist? 100% mine so please read it. Thank you 😊
Don't Save Me, Stay | Paige Bueckers
Arianna Torres is used to surviving alone. It's not that she prefers isolation-it's that it's safer. After all, people leave. People hurt. And no one sticks around when they see the real her: the trauma, the mood swings, the scars from growing up with a drug-addicted father and a mother who overdosed in the bathroom while Arianna was the one to find her. Diagnosed with BPD and PTSD, Arianna is constantly balancing between craving love and being terrified of it. She plays for UConn now, but she's not there to make friends-she's there to earn her future and keep everyone at arm's length. Until she breaks. After an intense away game triggers a panic attack followed by a near-complete shutdown, Arianna is put on temporary leave and forced into a recovery plan that includes one thing she never asked for: support. And the one assigned to check in on her, stay with her, and-God forbid-care about her? Paige Bueckers. The golden girl of college basketball. Charismatic, soft-spoken, patient. Everything Arianna isn't. What starts as reluctant forced proximity becomes something far more complex. Paige doesn't try to fix her. She just... stays. She doesn't ask for Arianna's secrets. She simply offers warm silences, movie nights, and shared playlists. The closer they get, the more Arianna starts to crack-not in a bad way, but in the kind of way that feels like healing. Like maybe being seen doesn't have to hurt. Maybe touch doesn't have to burn. Maybe someone can stay. But falling for someone when you're still learning how to exist is dangerous. Arianna's self-sabotage runs deep. Her fear of abandonment is a wildfire. And Paige, despite her calm, carries her own quiet grief-injuries, pressure, and the weight of being everyone's hope. As they navigate late nights and raw confessions, tangled blankets and bruised hearts, Arianna must face the hardest truth of all: What if love isn't about being saved, but about letting someone stay even when you're at your worst?Complete
