Known for his violent temper, brutal fights, and cold personality, people stayed far away from him for a reason. At twenty-four years old, Zane had already built a reputation for himself both inside and outside the cage. Covered in tattoos with intimidating olive-green eyes and a dangerous attitude, he was the type of man parents warned their daughters about. And honestly? They were right to. But Zane never cared what anyone thought about him. He hated feelings, avoided attachments, and had no interest in love. Until he saw her, Amara Yves. The soft-spoken nineteen-year-old girl who showed up at one of his matches with her friend. With dark doe eyes, long black curls, and the sweetest smile he had ever seen, Amara was everything Zane wasn't. Gentle. Feminine. Innocent.

For the first time in his life, he wanted something he knew he would ruin. The more he pushed her away, the more obsessed he became. Because no matter how dangerous he was... Amara made him feel human again. But monsters don't deserve soft girls. And Zane Galanis knew better than anyone that loving him came with consequences. To the world, he was dangerous. To her, he was just Zane. He spent his whole life fighting everyone around him. Until he met the girl who made him fight himself instead. Starting date - May 14th, 2026

A stern father compels Zarrar, 29-year-old surgeon into an arranged marriage with Hana, a 22-year-old student living in London. _________ "Where are you going?" she asked, flat. "Research trip." He tossed a shirt in, didn't look up. "And you're telling me this now?" "It was sudden." She made a noise somewhere between a tut and a laugh. "I do not care. You know what-" She stepped onto the couch, two quick climbs-herself at 5'4" suddenly level with his eyes, all heat and vowels. Here it is. The tongue was indeed ten feet long tonight. He stayed silent, left packing, arms folded over his chest and just stared. Hana doing her job, utterly, with whole rights over him to shout. "There won't be anything for me to be surprised if I wake up someday in the graveyard with mud sprayed over me 'cause my dear husband must have gotten too exasperated by my being, that he- the victim, had to bury me alive while I was asleep." Zarrar swallowed a smile, let her finish, then moved. He stepped in, hands light on her waist, lifted-she squawked, all outrage-then held her over his shoulder as he walked the three strides to the bed. She behaved as if someone unplugged her, forgot how to speak. He set her gently at the edge of the mattress and went down on one knee in front of her, floorboards cool under him. "What do you want me to say now?" "Are you actually asking me this?" Her voice wobbled, anger running out of fuel. "Yeah," he said, and he was smirking now, fond and infuriating. "Any last wishes of my wife before I bury her alive." ________ dive into the story of something very different from soap operas. TROOP ~ choas x cold yapper x listener age gap. doctor's divine

Book Description: Look, I don't even like soccer. I couldn't tell you the difference between a striker and a quarterback if my life depended on it (yes, I know quarterbacks don't play soccer, calm down). But somehow, I'm now the manager of my school's boys' soccer team. Cute? Fun? Absolutely not-unless you consider scrubbing mud off cleats and being bossed around by Tristan Alberth , the six-foot-tall human migraine they call "Captain," a party. Spoiler: I don't. Tristan? Oh, he thinks he's God's gift to the pitch. He calls me "glasses" like it's a personal attack, treats me like I'm just here to take attendance, and has this infuriating way of looking like a Calvin Klein ad while doing it. I'd love to say I hate him... but things are never that simple. Meanwhile, there's Ethan-the golden retriever boy of my dreams. Sweet, quiet, and actually nice to me for once. And sure, maybe I've got a tiny crush on him (read: epic, heart-fluttering, poetry-writing levels of crush). But with Tristan constantly messing with my head, things are getting as chaotic as a heated elocution final. Speaking of which-yeah, I win all of them. No big deal. Words are my thing. Boys? Not so much. Armed with sarcasm, snacks, my undefeated streak in every elocution ever, and a very confusing obsession with young David Beckham (don't ask-I'm as confused as you), I'm just trying to survive this soccer season without throwing a water bottle at Tristan's stupidly perfect face... or worse, catching feelings. Because let's be real-when it comes to love? I'm always ready for a debate. Muah Sakhie.
