    Two spies, best friends for years, face a mission that might ruin everything. Paris doesn't mess around. She's badass, smart, quick, and always cuts to the chase. She knows what she wants and gets it. No one really gets her though... except for her best friend, Grey, whom she met in her first year with the organization. Grey is intelligent, fast, creative, and can spot the smallest details. His exceptional hacking skills make him one of the top spies in the organization, right next to Paris. He tries to be pretty open about everything with Paris-except for one thing: his familiarity with her before they officially met. One day, they're assigned a mission together. It's not unusual for them to share a mission, but this one is different. They have to pose as a couple. For at least six months. It's a dangerous mission requiring them to work together harder than ever before. It could have been easier if they weren't attractive and possibly each other's types. But it's not a big deal. They can act. The question is: for how long? Going to a party as a couple is one thing; going on double dates, to the beach, and moving from one place to another is another thing. Acting becomes far more challenging. Boundaries might not be the hardest part of this mission. Getting tangled up in it might be their biggest mistake or greatest accomplishment yet. It all depends since they're just a couple of spies. This is romance but it's more of a mystery/thriller romance with some definite action.

    Evelyn Hart loses her corporate job overnight when her company is acquired-and her department erased like it never existed. With rent due, savings shrinking, and LA swallowing her whole, she applies to a too-perfect listing in the middle of the night: Estate Caretaker - live-in. Discretion required. Excellent compensation. She gets the contract in thirty seconds. No interview. No company name. She signs anyway. A plane ticket arrives minutes later. Eldermoor House waits for her outside Edinburgh-an ancient mansion with modern amenities, a forest that refuses to stay silent, and a black lake called Loch Glass that reflects things that shouldn't be there. Evie tells herself she doesn't believe in ghosts. She's just a modern witch-salt, wards, herbs, rituals. Nothing supernatural. But Eldermoor isn't interested in what she believes. The house has men in it. Three of them. All dead. And all of them want her.

Never let them see what you value. When Sloane, a defiant artist with a haunted past, is thrust into the Thorne mansion as the new step-daughter, she expects a gilded cage. What she finds is a predator who watches her every move with slate-gray eyes and a list of "corrections" for her rebellious behavior.

Now, back within the walls of the estate, the tension between them is a ticking time bomb. As Arthur Thorne tightens the noose, appointing Killian as Sloane's legal guardian to keep them apart, the game turns deadly. From the hidden galleries of the West Wing to the high-stakes boardrooms of the city, they must navigate a world of fake scandals, family betrayals, and blood-soaked legacies.

    Claire Brooks has it all. Everyone at Westlake High knows her: the girl who always smiles, the one everyone wants to be friends with, the one no one can resist. But behind her perfect image, Claire is quietly holding her life together - keeping her parents' messy divorce a secret, managing her emotions, and refusing to let anyone in. Then Callum Hayes moves to town. Quiet, observant, and nothing like the boys Claire's used to, he shows her that love doesn't always have to be loud. But when a cruel rumor spreads, her carefully controlled world starts to crumble. And as jealousy, gossip, and confrontation threaten everything she's known for, Claire must decide who she really is - and who she's willing to let in. Sometimes, the strongest love is the one that whispers, not shouts.

    he's an egotistical and self-centered punk she's an awkward and indecisive mess he's decided to hate her she's sworn to despise him and yet... this is my first story! :D this story uses lowercase! i use switching perspectives(i thought that might be kind of fun to read)! some chapters may be very short; that is a creative choice! slightly ambiguous time period(2000s-ish)! the dynamic is more of a "distaste for one another" than an intense enemy relationship (since they barely know each other at the beginning)! i'm open to constructive criticism and suggestions! :) please note that this story is for fun, and i'm just a high schooler, so my writing may not be up to par! if this story goes well, and i manage to complete it, i may turn this into a series, so stay tuned! :D thank you for giving my story a chance! :)
