Leah's life was small by design-routine, quiet, safe. She never asked too many questions. Never looked too closely at the things that didn't make sense. Until one day, she did. That's when she met Matias. He was cold, unreadable, magnetic in a way she couldn't explain. He wasn't meant to notice her. But he did. And once he had her, he didn't let go. What started as a spark turned into a pattern: the soft moments, the sharp ones, the slow unraveling she mistook for love. She told herself it wasn't toxic. That he needed her. That she was still free. But obsession has rules. And Matias has already broken every one.Lengkap
Strangers In The Snow
Lena Walker didn't come to the mountains to make friends-she came to escape. After a messy breakup and a year that nearly broke her spirit, all she wants is a quiet weekend at a remote ski lodge where no one knows her name. But when a snowstorm traps her at the lodge with only a handful of strangers-and one frustratingly closed-off boy named Kai Rivers-Lena's plans for solitude melt away. As power goes out, snow piles high, and the world outside freezes over, something between them begins to thaw. Kai has his own reasons for keeping people at a distance. But Lena's warmth-and her pain-start to mirror his own in unexpected ways. Over shared meals, silent stares, and moments by the fire, two broken souls start to find comfort in each other's presence. But when the storm clears... will they leave what they found behind?Lengkap
Almost Mine.
Ava Westwood never wanted a stepmother. Especially not one like Lucien Sinclair. At just eighteen, Ava's world is already complicated, college pressure, a strained relationship with her father, and now the arrival of Lucien, a cold, intimidating CEO with perfect posture and a mysterious past shatters what little stability she had left. Lucien is sharp, distant, and beautiful in a way that feels dangerous. Ava's always hated how calm she is. How perfect. How untouchable. But hatred is a strange thing. It lingers. Twists. Deepens. And somewhere between the silence, the glances, and the tension that builds every day in that house, something begins to shift. A forbidden slow-burn romance between an 18-year-old girl and the one woman she was never supposed to want.
Beneath His Hands
She's just turned eighteen-restless, curious, and far too aware of the man who's always been in the background of her life. He's her father's best friend-recently divorced, emotionally bruised, and old enough to know better. At a summer backyard barbecue, one accidental touch changes everything. A spark. A look. A moment neither of them can shake. What begins as tension builds into something dangerous-something they're both too scared to name. Because some lines should never be crossed. But some desires don't care. A slow-burn, age-gap romance wrapped in heat, heartache, and the ache of forbidden want.

For the first time in years, Damien feels something he can't quite manage: fascination. What begins as curiosity turns into quiet obsession. He starts watching her too closely, protecting her too fiercely, manipulating the world around her so she never leaves his orbit. Tessa senses the shadows gathering - but the safety and intensity he offers pull her in as much as they terrify her. In a world built on power, what happens when love becomes the most dangerous form of control?
