Eight years ago, Liam Alcaraz walked out of Mia Villaruiz's life without a backward glance, leaving her with nothing but a shattered heart, unanswered questions, and the memory of the boy who once made her believe in forever.
Now, Liam is one of the youngest, most powerful, and most desired CEOs in the country.
And Mia? She is no longer the quiet, outcast girl he once dismissed. She is the number one passer of the bar exam, a corporate lawyer whose name alone makes seasoned executives sweat. Fearless, sharp, and impossible to intimidate.
When fate brings her into Liam's boardroom, his billion-dollar empire becomes the biggest case of her career and her toughest challenge. Vale, the firm's respected senior partner, makes it clear that if Mia can take on Liam Alcaraz and win, securing him as their new big client, she will earn her place as the youngest partner in the firm.
But boardroom battles are not the only thing waiting for them.
Because every heated exchange is laced with tension that makes breathing difficult. Every glance lingers too long. Every accidental touch threatens to awaken something they both tried to bury.
Liam is determined to prove he is no longer the boy who broke her.
Mia is determined to show him she is no longer the girl he left behind.
But in a world where pride is power and desire is dangerous, old wounds reopen, truths begin to surface, and the line between love and hate slowly disappears.
Because some temptations are impossible to resist. And some hearts never truly let go.

Broken But Yours
Three years ago, Amber Milburn met Chris Collins...a senior who was arrogant, impossible, and far too good at getting under her skin. She eventually fell for him. He crushed those feelings badly... despite clearly feeling something himself. They walked away with pride intact and hearts slightly damaged. Now, three years later, Amber unknowingly lands an internship at his company. Chris is now the bossy, perfectly polished CEO who likes his coffee black, his desk spotless, and his life under control. Amber is chaotic sunshine in heels...funny without trying, stubborn by nature, and somehow, always fainting when he's just an inch too close. He likes order. She is disorder. He gives instructions. She argues with them. He wants distance. She keeps ending up in his space. Somewhere between office disasters, stolen glances, possessive moments, family chaos, loyal friends, and a history neither of them truly buried... old sparks begin to feel dangerously new again. Because the problem with unfinished stories is? They have a habit of starting over. *** "How could you do this to me? Why make me sign that contract?" I asked furiously. He looked up from his laptop and smirked. "As far as I remember, I didn't make you sign the contract, did I? You signed it on your own. If I am not wrong, it is entirely your fault for signing without reading the documents properly. The first rule in business is: never sign any papers without reading them properly." "I deny," I said. "Your wish, Ms. Milburn. You can walk out of the company anytime and meet my lawyers in court tomorrow," he said, leaning back in his chair. "You're cruel, Chris." "It's Mr. Collins for you, Ms. Milburn. I hope you know basic etiquette and professionalism, or your business degree is useless." "I hate you!" "Now, if you are done wasting my time, go and bring me my coffee. No sugar. Now out!" These three months were going to be the most disturbing and stressful three months of my life.Concluida

"Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?Concluida

After all the hurt, can I really just put everything aside to start again? Liam I knew she was mine; her eyes gave her away. Seeing Mia again after fourteen years was like coming back to life, and no matter how much she wanted to stay away from me, I wasn't going to stay away from her.

A lot has happened in the past few years, so when an opportunity to become the powerful man I am today presented itself, I didn't think twice to take it. This life will now be Mia's, too. I only hope she can still love me as the mafia boss I have become.Concluida
