Ysela Venus Navarro was a model who shone beneath the flashing lights, a law student sculpted for greatness. Kairon Iñigo Valmores was a student who dreamed of change, serving drinks in the background of lives far brighter than his own.
One accidental encounter at a party became the start of everything-stolen glances, quiet smiles, secret meetings in places where the world couldn't see.
But love built in the shadows comes with a price. The cameras are always watching. The whispers never stop. And when two worlds that should never have touched begin to collide...
Will Ysela and Kairon fight for a love they were never meant to have, or surrender before it destroys them both?

The Mask We Wear (Book 2 of The Eleven)
The crown has shifted. The dynasties reel from scandal. And as the Valmont queen and her Blackwell king step into Elysian Prep as the city's new rulers, the rest of the Eleven scramble to survive the spotlight. Lila Montrose has everything she ever dreamed: wealth, gowns, a seat at the table once thought untouchable. But she knows the truth-her family are nouveau riche, their fortune built on the D'Arclays' ashes. And at Elysian Prep, where bloodlines are measured in centuries, a single crack could shatter her glass throne. When whispers begin-rumors sharp enough to expose her secret-Lila makes a desperate gamble. She strikes a deal with Mateo Alvarez, the only boy who remembers who she was before Montrose diamonds. A scholarship student. A nobody. A risk. Their lie is simple: a perfect couple, untouchable, dazzling. A mask bold enough to blind the crowd. But the closer they play their roles, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Mateo sees her-past the polish, past the lies. And if she isn't careful, she'll start to see him too. In a world where crowns are masks and love is the deadliest scandal of all... sometimes the greatest danger is not being unmasked- but falling in love with the person who holds your mask in place.Complete

Signed by Silence (Sais)
Colet Vergara x Fem Reader At 28, Professor Nicolette "Colet" Vergara has built walls taller than any lecture hall. Cold, nonchalant, and notoriously strict, she's the university's most feared instructor-intelligent, sharp-tongued, and believed to be incapable of love. Rumors swirl in hushed tones, but no one dares get close enough to confirm them. She teaches like clockwork, lives in routine, and has convinced herself that emotions-especially love-are distractions she can live without. But her world shifts when a transfer student arrives. Y/N, a 19-year-old reincarnated girl born deaf but bursting with warmth, light, and creativity, is enrolled into a mainstream university not designed for PWD students by her doting mothers, Malory and Collie. Despite the odds, Y/N navigates her silent world with courage, always carrying a sketchpad and pen-her words flowing in ink and image. She's quiet but vibrant, gentle yet resilient. Their paths collide-literally-when Colet mistakes her silence for defiance and yells at her in class, only to be met with blank eyes and a soft, confused smile. The truth stuns her: Y/N can't hear her rage. And somehow, that silence says more than words ever could. As the semester unfolds, what begins as a reluctant apology slowly turns into stolen glances, unspoken understanding, and deep conversations in writing. The cold professor finds herself softening against all logic, and Y/N, in her quiet grace, begins to stir emotions Colet thought she buried long ago. But their growing bond comes with shadows-the age gap, strict university rules, and Colet's own fear of love. Can Colet risk everything she's built for a girl who listens with her eyes and speaks through her hands? Or will silence be the only thing left signed between them?

Glass Heart
After the Earth's magnetic field collapsed, the planet was bombarded with unfiltered solar radiation. The skies burned. Cities turned to dust. Survivors now live in massive airborne citadels, floating high above the toxic surface in a fragile balance of climate, class, and control. Each citizen's survival depends on a Glass Heart - a biomechanical implant powered by solar energy, calibrated to their social rank. The elite bask in artificial sunlight and live for centuries. The lower castes, confined to the shadowed underlayers, burn out fast - their hearts dimming with every passing year. Aella, born in the shadow-tier, works as a solar mechanic, servicing the light panels that keep the city afloat. One wrong move, and she risks exposure to raw light - a death sentence. She lives quietly, surviving by routine... until one night, she's ordered to repair a core in the upper citadel. There, she meets Cassian, a solar prince with a perfect Glass Heart - blindingly bright, surgically beautiful, and destined to rule the sky. Their connection is immediate. Impossible. Reckless. Every moment Aella spends near him overcharges her failing heart, threatening to burn her alive. Every second Cassian defies his caste by being with her dims his - an irreversible sign of corruption. But as their stolen encounters grow deeper, they uncover a secret buried in the light system: the citadel is failing. The elite's immortality depends on draining the hearts of the poor. Every bright Glass Heart comes at the cost of hundreds of dimmed ones. Including Aella's. They can run - and die faster. Or they can ignite a revolution powered by love, truth, and the one thing the elite can't manufacture: sacrifice. Because love isn't forbidden. It's just fatal.

MAFIA BOSS
The Twins, The Moon 🌙 & the Sun ☀️ Born into a legacy of power and privilege, Bianca and Brianna Valmora were the daughters of old money-a family name that held weight in boardrooms, private estates, and exclusive clubs across the globe. The Valmoras didn't just own companies; they shaped industries. Their empire, built on generations of calculated ambition, was as formidable as it was legendary. Though they were twins, Bianca and Brianna were as different as moonlight and sun. Brianna, the elder by six minutes, was the perfect heir in the eyes of the world. Elegant, poised, and always dressed for diplomacy, she was the face of the Valmora dynasty. Her smile closed deals, her presence commanded respect, and her words were precise, powerful, and public. She was always in the spotlight-on covers of business magazines, speaking at world summits, shaking hands with presidents. Bianca, on the other hand, was a mystery even to their closest allies. Free-spirited and elusive, she had little interest in fame. While Brianna led board meetings in glass towers, Bianca worked behind the scenes-crafting business strategies, handling critical paperwork, and securing hidden negotiations no one knew existed. She liked the shadows, not because she feared the light, but because she thrived where no one could control her. She didn't need validation; she only needed freedom. Despite their differences, the twins were unbreakable. When a jealous competitor publicly questioned Brianna's leadership and tried to drag her down with lies and media scandal, Bianca-without a word-hacked into the enemy's scheme, exposed their secrets, and crushed their leverage. Brianna never even had to ask. When Bianca went off-grid to backpack through South America for six weeks, the business world panicked at her disappearance. But Brianna covered for her sister, handled the legal documents in secret, and told the board, "Bianca is where she needs to be. She'll return when she's ready."Complete

As Kael unravels the mystery of his dreams, he must confront his own darkness - the guilt, the fear, the part of him that refuses to let go.
