Aurora Rose is 22, with a small book/coffee place which has become a haven for her and her town, Oak River, right outside of San Diego. She has a near-perfect life, her parents are loving, and her siblings are annoying, like any family ever. Aurora dreams of a love only seen in her books. She wants children, the white picket fence, and a man who worships the ground she walks on. So, what happens when 2 men walk into her haven looking for books and find something more?
Vittorio Russo no longer believes in love; he is the epitome of perfection. His father wanted him to be perfect, so he became more than that. At the age of 36 years old, he looks at what he has made with disdain and regret. Vittorio, otherwise known as Rio, has given up on the idea of love until he meets a cute little shop owner who is covered in love and greets him with open arms.
Giovanni Barone is the most sociable of the two. At 34, he carries every room he walks into. He and his best friend share women, but nothing has ever felt right, and much like Vittorio, he is losing the hope he once felt when it came to love. Being the hopeless romantic that he is, when he gets word of a little bookstore on the outside of the city owned by a woman who has been described as a ball of warmth, greeting everyone with open arms, he, of course, convinces his best friend to go with him so he can see what everyone is talking about. And maybe, just maybe, he will finally find what they both have yearned for.
Will this be what they have been looking for?
Will she like what they like?
Will she turn them down and wait for the prince charming she dreams of?

Welcome Home, Kitty: Little Kitten
The heatwave of 1955 didn't just bring cracked roads and heavy air to Maple Hill, it brought Kitty O'Callaghan. Instead of the quiet start she hoped for with her mother, Kitty finds herself trapped under the roof of her stepbrother Johnny - a brooding mechanic who sees in her every trace of the woman he resents. What begins as aggression soon turns to desire. Johnny soon wants more than her fear. He wants her softness, her trust, her heart. And nothing will stand in his way. Not her tears. Not her defiance. Not even her hate. ~ He lowered himself to the edge of the bed, the quilt dipping beneath the weight of his knee. His hand lifted, brushing the stray curl aside, fingertips grazing the smooth line of her cheek. Then he leaned in, his breath warm at her ear. "Kitten..." His voice slipped through the quiet. "Wake up." At first she only stirred, a small sound catching in her throat as her brow drew tight. "C'mon now. Look at me." His hand lingered near her face. Fingertips brushing her cheek once more in a slow movement. Her lashes fluttered once, twice. Then her eyes opened, heavy with sleep. For a second she only stared, unseeing, then the blur sharpened landing seeing his face so close to hers. Her whole body jolted, shoulders driving into the pillow as if to put distance where there was none. Her legs kicked under the blanket, the sheets twisting around her ankles. Her mouth opened, dragging in a sharp, startled breath as a scream began to claw its way up from her chest. But it never made it out, he was ready. His hand clamped down hard over her mouth. Her eyes filled with instant panic. She froze. Then fought.

Bound To Two Shadows
The marriage was decided in a room that smelled of smoke, blood, and old money. She was never asked. To the world beyond the locked gates, the two brothers were monsters-names whispered in fear, kings of an underworld built on extortion, bodies, and silence. The elder brother ruled with a mind like a blade: sharp, cold, precise. He calculated lives the way others counted coins, and mercy was a language he never learned. The younger brother was worse in a different way-raised without softness, trained without restraint. A beast shaped into human form, a killing machine who understood commands better than emotions. She had never seen the outside world. Never felt sunlight without bars between her and the sky. Her life had been a narrow corridor of obedience and bruises, raised by family who taught her silence before speech and pain before hope. She learned early that surviving meant enduring, that breathing quietly was safer than breathing freely. As mentioned the credits: the pictures used in this are not mine and it's right to its respectful owners.
