Clyd Nicholai Lazaro has always lived a life of order-predictable, comfortable, and safe. Thirty-three, successful, and quietly content, he never imagined that one person could turn his carefully structured world upside down.
Aurelia "Lia" Cruz is chaos wrapped in a smile-free-spirited, untamed, and untouchable by rules or labels. She doesn't belong to anyone, yet somehow, she captures everything Clyd didn't know he was missing.
When their paths cross, the connection is instant-but complicated. Between them, there are no promises, no labels, no guarantees. Just moments that feel electric, magnetic, and dangerously addictive.
As desire and emotion grow, Clyd and Lia navigate the thin line between friendship and something more-testing boundaries, risking hearts, and discovering that sometimes, love doesn't need a name.
"Between Us: No Labels" is a slow-burn, contemporary romance about two people learning to surrender to feelings they can't control, in a world that insists on rules they're not willing to follow.
𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 built herself out of glass and fire, sharp enough to cut, bright enough to be seen. Once the head of a rising empire, she now wakes to find her name stripped from the company she created, her life reduced to contracts and control she never agreed to.
But she doesn't break; she plots. Every breath becomes strategy, every silence a step toward taking back what's hers.
The only problem is the man standing in her way, the same one she can't seem to stay away from.
𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈 learned early that love was a weapon and obedience the price of survival. Behind his charm lies temper, behind his control lies ruin. He's the son of a man who built kingdoms on blood, and he's spent his life trying not to become him.
But when she enters his world, she threatens everything he thinks he understands about power, loyalty, and the quiet hunger he can't seem to kill.
