Lua Carvalho absolutely HATED men.
Stereotypical, right?
But it all comes crashing down when she starts falling for him. Her enemy.
*********
"Sometimes you make me think if I squint long enough at you, you'd disappear. I tried though. Should've worked." I said with a smirk.
"You drive me crazy, жена."
"I still don't know what that means."
"Good."
**********
When Lua starts falling for her sworn enemy, she's got to keep it a secret.
When Rodion never told Lua she was his dream girl, he's got to keep it a secret.
When both sharp-tongued people start thinking about love, that's rare. They insult each other until someone gets hurt.
Lua's dark past and Rodion's care when she needs it is all it takes for a flicker of love to unfold.

Sorry, I m not your fangirl!
He's rich, famous, and disgustingly handsome. Also allergic to girls. Especially the clingy, squeaky, fainting kind. Too bad I'm not one of them. I accidentally (okay, not accidentally) insulted Zayn Raheja-the country's most loved heartthrob with those cursed heterochromia eyes. The man whose smirk makes fangirls lose brain cells. Zayn Raheja, Superstar. Billionaire. Heartthrob. One smirk from him and girls forget how to breathe. Too bad I've got better things to do-like sleep. But instead of hating me... He's obsessed. Which is ironic. Because I've been ignoring boys since third grade. And I've never met someone who made it so easy. He's cold, rude, and 100% not my type. So, why is he staring at me like I'm the only puzzle he can't solve? Oops. Plot twist: He fell first. And harder. He's used to girls chasing him. I'm used to avoiding trash. So, no thanks. Our first meeting? He blocked the hallway like he owned oxygen. I told him to move. Politely. (Okay, not politely.) Now he can't stop looking at me like I'm a Rubik's cube he can't solve. And I can't stop wondering why this Greek god keeps showing up where I am. I'm not one of his fangirls. I don't faint, I roast. He should've hated me. Instead... He fell. 💌 Tropes: Enemies-to-Lovers He Fell First Sarcastic Girl × Cold Boy Fangirls Everywhere Except Her Slow Burn, Fast Roasts Rich × Normal Girl Forced Proximity (Eventually!) Celebrity × Civilian Misunderstandings & Mutual Pining Soft Boy Under Layers of Ice He Fell First (and hates it) Not Like Other Girls (literally doesn't care) Banter-to-Love Rich Famous Boy × Normal Sarcastic Girl "I hate girls" × "Cool, I'm not one of them" Enemies-to-Lovers (but she's not even trying) Fangirl-Proof Heroine Emotionally Constipated Boy Hard.

Blood & Vows
In the shadow-filled world of Moscow's criminal elite, two warring families have maintained a fragile, blood-soaked equilibrium-until a chance encounter threatens to destroy everything. Viktor Mikhailov rules the city's underworld with cold precision. Feared by enemies and allies alike, he takes what he wants and eliminates anything in his path. His empire is built on calculated ruthlessness, and he's never encountered a weakness he couldn't crush. Alina Sokolov has been sheltered from her father's dangerous world, a prized possession kept untainted by the brutality of the bratva. Intelligent and quietly rebellious, she's built her own sanctuary in the world of art and beauty, far from the violence that funds her privileged life. When their paths collide at an elite Moscow gala, the chemistry between them is immediate and devastating. But Viktor isn't just any dangerous man-he's her father's sworn enemy, the man who's promised to destroy the Sokolov family. And Alina represents everything Viktor has taught himself to resist: innocence, vulnerability, temptation. What begins as a calculated seduction quickly evolves into an obsession neither can control. As Viktor draws Alina deeper into his world of luxury and violence, she must decide if she's willing to sacrifice everything for a man who brings destruction with one hand and passion with the other. In a city where trust is a weakness and love is a liability, Viktor and Alina's forbidden affair threatens not just their hearts, but the empires their families have built on blood and betrayal. ------------Complete

Sweet Riddle
In our world, emotions are a weakness. A liability. A mistake. I learned that lesson young, watching my father rule with an iron fist, his heart nothing more than a rumor. I swore I'd never fall into the same trap-never let a woman tear me apart. And yet, here I am, standing at the altar, binding myself to a woman I barely know. A woman who despises me as much as I refuse to care for her. A contract. A deal. A promise sealed in blood. She is Katya Salifov-fierce, beautiful, and the daughter of my family's sworn enemy. And I am Ivan Yozhikov-heir to an empire built on violence, betrayal, and fear. This marriage isn't about love. It's about power. Control. Survival. But no matter how much I lock my heart away, something about her chips at the ice in my veins. A fire in her eyes that tempts me to break my own rules. And in this life, temptation is just another word for destruction. Welcome to our world. Where vows are made in blood, love is a dangerous game, and betrayal is the only truth.Complete
Bird Meets Bear
America was supposed to film a movie. Just a simple job overseas. One fake passport, one private jet, and one sketchy "deal" later... he's in Russia. In a mansion. Surrounded by guards. With his wings puffed and his pride shrinking by the minute. And then he shows up. Eight feet tall. Red eyes. Bear ears. Scarred hands. Russia. A real-life mafia boss with claws, a soft voice, and a terrifying habit of calling America "shiny." Now America's stuck in a house with a cold-blooded crime lord who keeps mistaking him for a girl, a translator who might be enabling him, and a family that drinks vodka like it's holy water. And worst of all? He's kind of into it. A chaotic supernatural rom-com where the bird-shaped actor might be in over his head-and the mafia boss might just want to keep him.
He's rich, famous, and disgustingly handsome. Also allergic to girls. Especially the clingy, squeaky, fainting kind. Too bad I'm not one of them. I accidentally (okay, not accidentally) insulted Zayn Raheja-the country's most loved heartthrob with those cursed heterochromia eyes. The man whose smirk makes fangirls lose brain cells.
