One last shot at proving she's not a walking red flag. What could possibly go wrong? (Spoiler: Everything). Between awkward reunions, social media chaos, and a growing tension with the one person she swore she'd never fall for, Lavender's about to learn that love is less like a fairytale... and more like a very public, slow-motion car crash.

Noah Miller is the Golden Boy of the campus. He's the star quarterback: charming, loud, and on his way to the NFL. But his perfect image is beginning to show cracks. The coach's ultimatum is clear: clean up your reputation with a stable relationship, or your dream is over. In a panic, Noah devises the perfect cover story: his pragmatic, organized, best friend, Ellie Davis. Ellie is the only one who knows the real Noah-the boy struggling under the pressure-and she's been secretly in love with him for years. Unable to refuse him anything, she hesitantly steps into the role of the "stable girlfriend." What starts as a simple agreement to save his career quickly turns into a dangerous game. They practice kissing. They invent stories. They go on fake dates for the cameras. And with every awkward touch, the lines between acting and reality begin to blur. Noah starts noticing things he never saw before and Ellie finds it increasingly difficult to keep the wall around her true feelings intact. What happens when the most intense kiss of their lives isn't in the script? And what if the "fake" game falls apart and the truth destroys everything they thought they were... including their friendship? The danger of a blindsided attack is that you never see it coming until it's too late. And sometimes, the biggest blow isn't the one that threatens your career, but the one that hits your heart.

The day my ex-boyfriend gets married, I sit in the very last pew of a small town church with a brand-new ring on my finger. Not his. Someone else's. Twenty-four hours earlier, I walked into a Manhattan law firm broke, blacklisted and one signature away from losing everything I care about. Adrian Hale - tech billionaire, boardroom legend, the kind of man you only see on magazine covers - offered me a contract marriage: his last-minute wife in exchange for the one thing I desperately needed. I thought it was going to be a quiet, legal arrangement. No romance, no drama, no one ever had to know. Until the pastor says, "If anyone objects to this marriage, speak now," and Adrian stands up beside me in the back row. "I have an objection," he says calmly. "Because in the state of New York, this woman is already my legal wife." The church explodes. My ex goes pale. And I realize two things at once: 1) Adrian Hale is playing a game I don't understand. 2) I just became his sharpest weapon - or his easiest sacrifice. This is a story about a contract that wasn't supposed to hurt, a marriage that wasn't supposed to feel real, and a woman who's done being the weakest person in the room.

**He needed a wife to secure his billion-dollar deal. I needed a fortune to save myself. Our marriage was supposed to be a business transaction... until we broke the only rule that mattered.** Aria Vance is one more rejected painting away from living on the streets. Broke, desperate, and utterly hopeless, she has nowhere left to turn. Liam Thorne is a ruthless billionaire who needs one thing to finalize the most important deal of his life: the image of a stable, married man. Love is not part of the equation. When he offers Aria a contract-pose as his devoted wife for one year in exchange for enough money to solve all her problems-it's an offer she can't refuse. She moves into his penthouse, wears his rings, and plays her part perfectly. But with every lingering touch for the cameras and every whispered "I love you" that feels a little too real, the line between pretense and passion begins to blur. He's breaking down her walls, and she's seeing the wounded man behind the cold, corporate facade. **Now, with the end of the contract looming, we have to choose. Walk away with the money and forget we ever met... or risk everything for a love that was never supposed to be real.** ---

Vanya is a girl of few words, a heart guarded by past scars and trust broken too many times. Introverted, independent, yet quietly yearning for love, she finds herself drawn to Madhav - Her World, Her Everything. She's careful not to let anyone in, yet beneath her calm exterior lies a quiet rebellious streak. Silently mischievous, she acts on her impulses in small, clever ways, letting her naughtiness speak louder than words. On the outside, she's calm - almost serene - but inside, she's a storm. Fierce, untamed, and impossible to suppress. When someone messes with her or her loved ones, she doesn't scream or create a scene - she strikes where it hurts the most, with silence sharper than words and actions stronger than revenge. But most of the time, she chooses to ignore - to walk away from fights, to stay untouched by unnecessary drama. She builds her peace like a fortress, protecting it from chaos. She is like this... Until someone enters her life Like Storm- and changes everything. He shakes her world in ways she never expected. From laughter to chaos, from small adventures to unexpected challenges, he slowly changes the way she sees love, trust, and herself. As Vanya navigates her fears, insecurities, and past traumas, He becomes the catalyst for her growth- showing her that love can be gentle, fun, and transformative all at once.

He'd left her a note and a cold cup of coffee. That's how Mara's world ended, quietly, normally, and tragically. Grief came in small details: his jacket still by the door, the mug with her lipstick print, the phone that lit up with his name she could not make herself answer. Every small thing, hurts. But the city doesn't stop for broken hearts. The rain still falls, the bread still bakes, strangers still smile. And as Mara staggers under sorrow, she finds herself stretched between the agony of memory and the fragile hope of tomorrow. This is not a story of perfect love. This is a story of losing big, of surviving by a thread, and of making beauty from the fissures that are left behind. A story where kindness comes in the form of warm croissants, a stranger's guitar, and a laugh that surprises her in the darkness. And when Mara eventually masters folding the note and tucking it away, she finds out something she never anticipated: heartbreak isn't forever. Not when life continues to move on. Not when healing arrives in tiny, stubborn bits. Not when hope, despite everything, still wants to be discovered. Until It Doesn't Hurt is a gritty, emotional romance about endings that shatter us, beginnings that rebuild us, and the quiet miracle of falling in love again.

Gareth Hale wasn't supposed to win the Grand Prix- not with the media calling him violent, unstable, barely leashed. Not after the accident, and definitely not with the world waiting for him to snap again. But he wins anyway. Because Gareth Hale always does what they say he can't. Now the racing legend with the serpent-painted Ducati has a new shadow: Cassidy Rowe-the quiet, cardigan-and-coffee girl hired as his PR manager and personal assistant.
