Secretly Falling (Interracial)
Ella built her life out of control and caution- every late night study session, every perfectly planned move was a brick in the wall protecting her heart. Love was never part of the equation. It was chaos, and chaos was the one thing she refused to let in. Then came Elias- quiet confidence, steady hands, and a gaze that saw straight through her defenses. He didn't just walk into her life; he unraveled it, one heartbeat at a time. Behind her ambition, Ella carried secrets- the kind that still haunted her when the world went silent. A broken home. A heart that learned to flinch before it ever learned to trust. Now Elias is offering her something terrifyingly beautiful- a chance at love that feels too real to be safe. But to take it, she'll have to do the one thing she hasn't done in a long time: let someone in. And that might be the bravest- or the most dangerous- decision of her life.
