Some people are impossible to save.
Kael Asher Marwood is one of them. Controlled. Dangerous. Untouchable.
Isolde Marisol Santoro is a trauma therapist with a fire in her blood and the courage to see what others cannot. A single mother who has the heart of a lion and the will of a gazette.
Assigned to Kael after a violent accident, she expects high pressure, not the quiet intensity of a man whose secrets could destroy her.
In the sterile halls of the trauma wing, their worlds collide. Every glance, every silence, every subtle gesture pulls her closer. But some truths are far too dangerous to uncover - and some desires are impossible to resist.
How do you save someone who doesn't want to be saved... without losing yourself in the process?
But some people refuse to be saved... until someone dares to try.

The Prestige club#7: "A Heart Reborn"
In a world where love is a distant dream, Zakirah Kabir, the sheltered daughter of two powerful mafia figures, lives in the shadows of her family's dark past. Born with a fragile heart and a deep-seated fear of attachment, Zakirah has always kept herself emotionally distant, preferring the safety of her own world. As a romance author, she dreams of love, yet she is terrified of the pain it might bring-both for her and those she holds dear. Omar Aslam, the unyielding and fiercely independent mayor of the city, has no time for romance.

Thrown together by circumstance, Zakirah and Omar begin a marriage of convenience, with no love between them-at least, not at first. As they navigate the complexities of their relationship, an unexpected bond begins to form. Omar, whose fear of touch has isolated him from those around him, finds himself drawn to Zakirah in ways he cannot control. And Zakirah, though hesitant, begins to see a man beneath the tough exterior-one who is as vulnerable as she is, hiding his own wounds. As their connection deepens, secrets unravel, and trust is slowly built, the quiet moments they share become their most cherished. But just as love begins to bloom, Zakirah's health takes a dangerous turn, forcing both to confront their deepest fears. Will their love survive the trials that lie ahead? Or will Zakirah's fragile heart tear them apart?Complete

The Traitor's Wife
My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.
