iting Everyone has that one person they can't stand. For Afnan, it's Imran. He's annoyingly confident, always has the perfect comeback, and somehow manages to show up everywhere she goes. Their sarcastic banter has become legendary, their friends are tired of picking sides, and the last thing either of them wants is to spend more time together. Unfortunately, life has other plans. After one embarrassing run-in after another, accidental meetings become impossible to avoid. The more they clash, the harder it becomes to ignore the moments that don't feel like arguments at all-the smiles that linger too long, the unexpected kindness, and the feeling that maybe first impressions don't tell the whole story. With hilarious friends who never mind their own business, chaotic family moments, and enough awkward encounters to last a lifetime, Afnan and Imran are about to discover that the line between love and hate is thinner than they ever imagined. Because sometimes the person who gets on your nerves the most... is the one who steals your heart.

Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.
