    While falling in love with a drug kingpin, Tikera must prove she can survive in his dangerous world - and convince him their relationship is worth fighting for. ***** After dropping out of university and setting her sights on traveling to Europe, twenty-three-year-old Tikera Copeland is desperate for a job. So when she innocently applies for a gardening position and immediately gets hired, she's shocked to discover that her "real" job will be tending to a bunker full of thriving, (definitely) illegal weed plants. Intrigued by this world she knows nothing about, Tikera agrees to stay, but her growing feelings for "The Boss" -- the mysterious drug kingpin who owns and grows the plants -- quickly complicate things. He's falling for her too (and she knows it, even if he won't admit it), but breaking through his icy exterior won't be easy. And with thieves, vengeful hitmen, and rival kingpins threatening them at every turn, will they even survive long enough to find their happily ever after? [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

    She is the Communicator of the New Area. The Communicators do the one job other humans are too afraid to do, communicating and preventing violence between wolves and humans. "My name is Alara. I'm the new Communicator. This is my first day. I-" "I know what Communicators are all about," he interrupts. "I've met many over the years. You speak of understanding and cooperation while your guns are loading behind your backs." "That's not-" "Save your diplomatic bullshit for someone who hasn't heard it before." His voice remains calm, which somehow makes it more terrifying. "I want the human who killed one of our own." "We have laws-" "Your laws." The contempt is undisguised now. "Your laws that somehow always find humans innocent of crimes against wolves. Your laws that punish a wolf's defense of territory as aggression. Your laws that treat us as animals when it suits you and as criminals when it doesn't." This is the first book in the series, so please don't expect anything perfect just yet. It's a first draft and a work in progress :)

She was India's most brilliant economist - calm, poised, and untouchable. He was the nation's most ruthless External Affairs Minister - a man who commanded rooms without a word. Five years ago, Aratrika Roy vanished from his world without a reason. Abhimanyu Yadav didn't chase her. He simply watched her leave - giving her the illusion of freedom. Now, he's done waiting. And this time, she's not walking away. When she's drawn back into his orbit - through power, politics, and an engagement she never agreed to - the air between them burns with everything left unsaid. Every glance is a memory. Every touch is a warning. He wants her back - not as a choice, but as his claim. "You wanted freedom, Aratrika. But you forgot one thing- I was the only place you were ever truly free." As old sparks reignite into obsession, love becomes a weapon neither of them can control. Because between power and possession, someone always surrenders - and this time, it won't be him. ---------------------------------------------------- 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫. 𝐋𝐮𝐬𝐭. 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐥.
