Ivy Sinclair - Brilliant. Guarded. Control-Freak.  

Ivy Sinclair is the mastermind behind a revolutionary matchmaking algorithm-every detail, every data point designed, analyzed, and controlled with precision. To Ivy, love is a science, and chaos is the enemy. But beneath her cool, calculating exterior beats the heart of a woman who's fiercely private, skeptical of anyone who threatens her boundaries, and terrified of losing control. She believes in logic and order-especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

Caspian Arden - Charismatic. Enigmatic. Visionary.  

Caspian Arden is a powerhouse in urban redevelopment, a man who commands attention without uttering a word too many. His reputation teeters between ruthless strategist and compassionate idealist, and his quiet confidence hides a maze of conflicted emotions and haunted past decisions. Caspian's charm is magnetic, but his true battle is with himself-and with a future that refuses to be mapped out.

When two worlds collide...  

Thrown together by a high-stakes city redevelopment project, Ivy and Caspian must navigate a partnership brimming with tension, wit, and unspoken questions. For Ivy, love is meant to be safe, predictable, and programmed-until Caspian becomes the unpredictable variable that challenges all her carefully drawn algorithms. As sparks fly in unexpected ways, Ivy is forced to ask: can love ever really be engineered, or is it always a wild, beautiful risk?

Matchmaker's Edge is the first intoxicating chapter in The Serendipity Syndicate-a series where love exists in the wild spaces between logic and passion, and every choice can redefine fate.All Rights Reserved

Flirting With Fire ✅ by bambiEyes147

Ivy has been groomed to be the first female Don of the Greyson mafia since she was little. Her whole life revolves around preparing herself for the role. From all the combat training she had endured, to pursuing business in college. It was all in anticipation for this role. But fate had another plan for her when she met Luke, a man who saved her and ultimately showed her what she's been missing in her life. Now, she has to decide if her ambitions are worth letting go for a shot at love. * * * "I'm sorry I hurt you." I choked out the words. I truly am sorry. I'm fighting against myself so hard by now to not show him how much I yearned for his approval. He takes two step forward, closing the gap between us and his hand reaches up and seize my throat, forcing me against the wall. His grip wasn't soft and loving, but filled with pain and bruising truth. He leaned closer and I felt his hot breath fanning my ear. "Not good enough, princess." My hands started shaking, I fisted my skirt, trying my best to compose myself and stop that lone tear that's threatening to escape. His rough palms gripped my face up to meet his raging eyes. I can see the bottled up rage and frustration bubbling to the top, threatening to spill over. But I also see that burning desire, the same one I'm fighting against. He wants me. But he also hates me. Two conflicting emotions together, battling inside him. "You're angry." "No shit, Sherlock." I can tell he wants to hurt me, physically, emotionally, just as much as I have hurt him. And yet, whatever remnant of care that he possessed for me is holding him back. Forcing him to push back that need to inflict pain. "Use me." "What?" His harshness falters a little, surprised at my words. My trembling hands slide against his hard chest, feeling the heat of his boiling rage. I lean closer, my lips brushing lightly against his ear and I whispered. "Let it out. Punish me." • MATURE THEMES 18+ • Started: Oct 10, 2021 Finished: ???

Four Walls (Book One) ✔️ by neurotick

"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor. I scramble backwards as he approaches me, his cheeks scarlet with rage, his pupils the size of needle points. In fourteen years, I've never seen him this mad. I've really done it this time. -------------------- (COMPLETED) Life is hard when nowhere feels like home. For Layla Dodds, there is only one goal: survival.

Love Spilled Like Coffee by lunarawrites

Damian Blackwood is a man who has everything-wealth, power, and an unshakable reputation as a ruthless CEO. Love? He never believed in it. To him, emotions were distractions, and relationships were nothing more than business transactions. But everything changes one morning when he accidentally spills coffee on a stranger at a café. Ella Carter, with her soft eyes and warm smile, isn't like the people he's used to. She doesn't fawn over his status or try to impress him. Instead, she simply cleans the mess, gives him a polite nod, and walks away-leaving him utterly captivated. For fifteen days, Damian returns to the café at the same time, just to see her from afar. He doesn't know why. He doesn't even know her name. But something about her makes his carefully controlled world feel unsteady. Then fate takes control. Ella walks into Blackwood Enterprises for an interview, only to realize the man from the café-the one who had been haunting her thoughts-is her new boss. Damian is thrilled but keeps his emotions locked away, offering her the job with a professional mask. As they spend more time together, the tension between them grows. Damian finds himself breaking his own rules, drawn to the warmth and kindness Ella brings into his cold, calculated world. Ella, in turn, sees glimpses of the man beneath the powerful CEO-one who's afraid to love, but even more afraid of losing her. Will Damian finally let go of his fears and embrace the love he never believed in? Or will his hesitation cost him the one thing he never knew he needed? A heartfelt, slow-burn romance about fate, unexpected love, and the power of simple moments that change everything.
