    "They were supposed to be friends. But somewhere along the way, they became everything." Jules Maybank has spent her whole life surviving-surviving a broken home, an abusive relationship, and the kind of pain that never fully leaves. She's mastered the art of pretending: perfect smiles, brushed-over bruises, and telling everyone she's fine when she's falling apart inside. She's the tough one. The quiet storm. The girl with sharp eyes and softer scars. John B. Routledge has always been her constant-ever since she ran into him in the third grade with juice box hands and wide-eyed wonder. He was her secret first love, her middle school boyfriend, the one who saw her before the world broke her. But that was then. And this is now. Now, she belongs to someone else. Now, she's the girl behind guarded eyes and walls too high to climb. And John B? He's just trying to keep his own world from falling apart. But as fate keeps pulling them back together-late-night conversations, unspoken glances, shared silence where words don't reach-John B starts to see what's been right in front of him this whole time. That maybe Jules Maybank isn't just his past. Maybe she's his future. And Jules? She starts to realize that love doesn't have to hurt. That maybe she doesn't have to shrink herself to be wanted. That maybe, just maybe, she can be loved like she's the only girl in the world-by the one boy who always saw her, even when she couldn't see herself. In a world that's torn them down, can they choose each other? Or will love slip away before either of them is brave enough to reach for it? He was the calm in her storm. She was the light he didn't know he needed. And together? They might just be everything.

    Three years ago, Silas Vesper walked away from the world as a man who could still pretend he had control. He returns to the Vesper estate as something far colder. The halls still gleam with legacy. Power still lingers in every carved archway. But the man who once commanded empires now moves through his own home like a ghost - silent, distant, untouchable. The accident took his legs. Betrayal took his trust. Guilt hollowed out whatever was left. He has no interest in healing. No interest in hope. And absolutely no intention of being seen. And then she walks in. Iris Sterling. The country's most sought-after physiotherapist. The woman known for rebuilding shattered bodies and resurrecting men who had already buried themselves. She does not believe in lost causes. She does not accept defeat. And she certainly does not cower before brooding billionaires who weaponize silence. Silas makes it clear: he does not want her help. Iris makes it clearer: she isn't asking. What begins as mandatory rehabilitation becomes a brutal war of wills. She pushes. He retreats. She challenges. He lashes out. Every session crackles with restrained fury. Every touch lingers a second too long. Every glance dares the other to break first. Because beneath Silas's icy control lives a man terrified of wanting again. And Iris has made a career out of teaching broken people that they are still whole. But this time, the patient doesn't just resist the treatment. He resists her. He resists the heat simmering beneath his anger. He resists the dangerous possibility that he is still a man capable of being desired. And Iris? She has never backed down from an impossible case. Even if saving him means losing herself. In a house built on legacy and secrets, where grief lingers like perfume and power tastes like sin, two wounded souls collide in a battle neither of them is prepared to win. Because the hardest thing to mend isn't the body. It's the belief that you deserve to be loved.

    𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐎𝐑'𝐒 𝐆𝐈𝐑𝐋 🌸 Cora Addams is 21, hopelessly in love, and completely, utterly ignored. Well not ignored. Rejected. Repeatedly. Creatively. She's tried everything. Handwritten letters slipped under office doors. Flowers left on desks with no name attached (okay, one time she signed it). She's memorized the professor's coffee order, her office hours, the exact way she says "Ms. Addams" like it's a warning and an apology at the same time. Because Ashley Walker : 28, brilliant, infuriatingly composed Biology professor keeps saying no. I don't like you that way, Cora. This can't happen. Please stop. So Cora stops. All of it. The letters, the flowers, the soft "good morning, Professor" in the hallway. She pulls back completely and that's when Ashley realizes the truth she's been running from since the first letter landed on her desk, She never stopped wanting her. She was just terrified of what wanting her would cost. A career. A reputation. Maybe everything. Now Ashley has to figure out how to undo months of pushing away the one person she couldn't stop thinking about before Cora decides she's done waiting for a woman who'll never choose her back. Some love stories start with yes. This one starts with every kind of no. gxg | slow burn | age gap | forbidden student-professor tension | professor x student

Un allié que personne ne lui conseille de fréquenter. Un homme dont le passé est aussi trouble que le sien, mais qui pourrait bien être la seule personne à détenir les réponses qu'elle cherche.

    "Look at her. She's such a nerd." Chloe's loud, annoying whisper cut through the front row of the school auditorium, right after I finished my speech. My brain didn't even have time to process it. My mouth moved on pure instinct. I spun back around, leaned straight into the silver microphone, and snapped. "Yo, bitch, you just did not say that!" *** Ava Collins was invisible. Up until now. Before that accidental broadcast, she was just the quiet girl with a perfect GPA who always kept her head down, desperately hiding behind her nervous habits. But overnight, everything changes. The guys at school suddenly open their eyes, and a literal war breaks out in the hallways as they all try to get her attention. And as if that isn't enough chaos for her boring life, her mother's friend begs her to babysit her seven-year-old son, Leo, for a few hours while she's at work. Ava agrees, expecting an easy escape from the school drama. But of course, fate has a twisted sense of humor. Because Leo's older brother just happens to be Jace Blakely-the loudest, most overprotective, and absolute most popular bad boy in her entire school. First published(started)- 07. 9. 2026.
