«WHY HIM?»
✿ Elena Carter is a scholarship student with a plan: survive the elite, get the degree, and never look back. She's the sunshine in a world draped in shadow. But the shadows have a name, and his name is Riven Blackwood.
A billionaire heir who has already conquered the world Elena is just trying to enter, Riven is cold, cynical, and dangerously bored. He's a man who has seen it all and hated most of it-until he saw her. Now, they're trapped under the same roof, and the "playboy" has found the one girl who doesn't want his money or his name.
He's morally grey, he's possessive, and he's decided that if Elena Carter is going to ruin his life, he's going to enjoy every second of the fall.
🖤🦋💓🖤🦋💓🖤🦋💓🖤🦋
RIVEN: "Everyone in here is starving for my gaze, Elena. But you? You won't even look at me. And that makes you the most interesting problem I've ever had to solve."
ELENA: "Because living under the same roof as someone like Riven Blackwood feels like walking on broken glass every single day."

OWNED BY MIDNIGHT
The first time Niccolò De Rossi saw her, the world itself seemed to hold its breath. He had stepped out of his hotel with the easy arrogance of a man who ruled empires-steel and glass bent to his will, fortunes rose and fell at the flick of his signature. Women usually noticed. They always noticed. But she didn't. The girl by the fountain had ink smudges on her fingers, wind tangling her hair, sunlight caught in her laugh. She was sketching as if the marble lions before her were secret lovers confessing sins only she could hear. She didn't glance up at the sleek black car waiting for him, or at the doorman rushing to open doors. She only looked up when she felt him watching. And then-God help him-her eyes met his. Not hunger. Not awe. Not even recognition. Just curiosity, followed by the kind of dismissal no one had dared offer Niccolò De Rossi in years. It was supposed to be nothing. A fleeting look, a stranger's indifference. But instead, it burned through his veins, hotter than any deal, any conquest, any forbidden touch he'd ever taken. For the first time, the billionaire who had everything discovered something he could not command. And in that instant, Niccolò knew two things: 1. He would find her again. 2. When he did, he would not let her go-not from his bed, not from his life, not from the very bones of his existenceComplete

People feared Alessandro Rossi. Not the normal kind of fear. Not the kind where people whispered rumors and moved on with their lives. No. They feared him the way people feared death itself. Governments avoided speaking against him. Powerful men lowered their eyes when he entered a room. News channels never mentioned his name unless they wanted accidents to suddenly happen. Alessandro Rossi was power. Darkness. Violence wrapped in expensive black suits. And everybody knew one thing about him: He had no weakness. Until her. ★★★★★ "Sir, the meeting is ready." Alex didn't answer immediately. He stood silently beside the massive glass window of his penthouse in New York, one hand inside his pocket while the city lights burned beneath him like stars. Cold. Untouchable. Dangerous. Matteo waited near the door carefully. Even after years beside him, Alex's silence could still make people nervous. Then finally- "Where is she?" His deep voice filled the room quietly. Matteo sighed internally. Of course. Not business. Not weapons. Not the politicians downstairs begging for his partnership. Her. "She's asleep, boss." Alex's eyes softened slightly. Only slightly. Enough to shock anyone who noticed. "She ate?" "Yes." "She took her medicine?" "Yes." "She cried again?" Matteo hesitated for one second too long. Alex slowly turned around. And suddenly the room felt colder. "She missed you," Matteo admitted carefully. A dangerous silence followed. Then Alex grabbed his coat immediately. "The meeting?" Matteo asked. "Cancel it." "But?-" "I said cancel it."

I was supposed to forget him. Just one night. One stupid, reckless, blazing hot night. I didn't even know his last name... But two months later, I'm pregnant with the heir to one of the most dangerous empires in the world. Damien Moretti is lethal, wealthy, and terrifyingly possessive. I built a life without him, poured everything into my boutique, held my head high, and decided I could do this on my own. Until he walked back into my life like a storm- demanding answers, demanding me. And he's not leaving without a fight. Now I'm stuck between a man who terrifies me and a future I never planned for... Because Damien doesn't just want the baby. He wants everything. My body. My heart. My soul. And once a Moretti claims something... He never lets Go His lips were fire-bruising, demanding, desperate as he pressed me back against the boutique's fitting room mirror. One hand gripped my hip like he owned it. The other slid down, low and reverent, stopping right where our child was growing inside me. "Mine," he growled against my skin, his voice ragged and possessive. "This baby... you... all of it. Mine." I should've pushed him away. But instead, I arched into him as his mouth traveled lower, whispering filthy promises over the swell of my barely-there bump before planting a hot kiss there. "You shouldn't be here," I whispered. He looked up at me with eyes that burned emerald. "Sweetheart... I'm never leaving."

Love Wasn't Part Of The Deal
One night was never supposed to matter. After a messy breakup and way too many drinks, Elizabeth Greene ended up in bed with a gorgeous stranger. He had piercing gray eyes and the kind of devastating good looks that seemed too perfect to be real. She still did the smart thing, though. She slipped out before sunrise, ready to forget the mistake and move on. She didn't realize the paparazzi were watching. Or that the stranger was Arthur Darrington. Now the photos are everywhere, and Arthur's carefully constructed image is slipping into public chaos. He isn't used to scandals. He isn't used to being ghosted. Especially not after a one-night stand that has become front-page news. So he finds her. With an offer: play his girlfriend, fix the damage, and walk away with enough money to change her life. The only rule? Strictly business. No feelings. Elizabeth knows it's a bad idea. But she needs the money, and she refuses to be intimidated by a billionaire who looks like he's never been told no in his life. She's blunt, impossible to manage, and far more tempting than she should be. And the more time he spends with her, the more Arthur realizes this isn't just about saving his reputation anymore. Because what started as damage control is beginning to feel a lot like something neither of them agreed to feel. And pretending is getting harder to stop.
