And sometimes, the person who makes your heart happiest can also be the person who breaks it the most.

She never meant to fall for both... but she can't bear to lose either. Liana is a woman who believes in forever-but forever starts to feel impossible when two men walk into her life, each offering a love so different yet equally impossible to resist. Kai is the gentle storm-warm, tender, and steady as the tides. He brings safety, soft whispers, and a love that feels like coming home. He loves her quietly, deeply, and completely, ready to give her the peaceful, lasting devotion she's always dreamed of. Jax is the wild fire-intense, passionate, and impossible to ignore. He ignites something wild in her, a hunger she can't explain or control. With him, every touch burns, every glance promises something more, and every moment feels dangerously, thrillingly alive. Now Liana stands at a crossroads. One offers her a lifetime of comfort. The other offers her nights of unforgettable passion.

Hungry? Power, privilege, and prestige are on the menu. In a college built for the heirs of empires, it's eat or be eaten. No. 2 is just the first course. One boy that melts the heart of our star quarterback. The queen who bids all to dance. A collector of secrets. They all should keep in mind: Elite tastes better when served HOT! For people who love Off Campus, Gossip girl and Heated rivalvry! Eat The Rich: "You liked the game?" he asked, one brow lifted and Piper sighed. Right. The game. Of course he wanted to talk about his match. Piper had no idea about the game play or tactics. There had been... running. And shouting. And a ball? Definitely a ball. They had been losing anyway... badly. Until number 7 stepped under the spotlight and the whole game changed. "Remember the name!" the stadium announcer had shouted. "We... won?" she ventured, tilting her head. "I'm, like, eighty percent sure we won." Number 7 laughed softly, pushing himself from the wall to get closer. At least he got rid of the ugly uniform somewhere. "We definitely did." He whispered back, as if they were telling a secret no one should know about. "Oh good." She pressed a hand to her chest in mock relief. "I would've felt really awkward celebrating a loss that enthusiastically." "Is that what you were doing?" He stepped closer, close enough that she could see the dark brown hiding in the black of his eyes. "Celebrating?" "Obviously. I'm very supportive." She nodded solemnly. "I even yelled things." "Yeah?" His mouth curved. "What kind of things?" "Very technical stuff," she said. "Like... 'Boo!' I think I really bonded with the crowd" He huffed a laugh. "Ruthless," he teased. "I almost felt sorry for my opponent." She shrugged it off and leaned in a little, lowering her voice. "Please. They deserved it." Then she remembered that she was supposed to find him annoying. So, she turned back to the dartboard and threw. Again, she hit her goal.

WHEN THE ICE MELTS Hallie Sutton has her sophomore year figured out-or at least, she likes to pretend she does. Between music classes, unfinished songs, and afternoon shifts at The Copper Mug, Hallie doesn't have much time for distractions. Especially not the university hockey team that seems determined to turn her café into their second home. And definitely not Wes Prescott. Wes is charming, talented, impossible to ignore... and completely off-limits. Because he has a girlfriend. So Hallie keeps things simple. She makes his coffee. He gets on her nerves. They trade sarcastic comments across the counter, and somewhere between post-practice coffee runs, late-night conversations, and crowded hockey games, Wes becomes more than just another customer. He becomes her friend. But behind the easy smiles and #27 jersey, Wes is carrying more pressure than anyone realizes. His relationship is falling apart, hockey is beginning to feel heavier than the game he once loved, and everyone seems to have an idea of who Wes Prescott is supposed to become. Everyone except Hallie. She doesn't need him to be the star player. She just sees Wes. And when friendship starts becoming lingering looks, almost-kisses, and feelings neither of them can ignore, Hallie discovers that some things are easier to turn into songs than say out loud. He belongs on the ice. She belongs behind a piano. Neither expected to find home in each other. But sometimes, the best love stories begin when the ice finally melts.

Blurb: JC Estrella was your typical prim-and-proper, girl-next-door junior from an exclusive all-girls school. She always played it safe, always followed the rules, and never really stepped out of her comfort zone. She excelled in anything creative-drawing, painting, doodling in the margins of her notebook-but when it came to math? A major struggle. Numbers stressed her out, equations terrified her, and solving for x felt like a personal attack. At least... that was seventeen years ago-back when taking risks was the last thing on her list. Mikee Manahan was your typical hunk-next-door senior from an exclusive all-boys school. Captain of the soccer team, a consistent honor student, and annoyingly good at everything. Looks? Check. Brains? Check. Charm? Unfortunately, check. Yes, he could be a bit of a snob-but somehow, it only made him even more intriguing. At least... that was seventeen years ago-when he met the girl next door. Who would've thought that after all those years, they'd run into each other again? The former girl-next-door now wearing a skimpy top and short, ripped shorts. The former hunk-next-door... carrying a little girl in his arms. One unexpected encounter. One old diary, tucked away for seventeen years. And one question JC never really answered: "What really happened... and why does it feel like it's still not over?" So let's go back- back to the '90s, when crushes were low-key, playlists were on cassette tapes, and handwritten notes meant everything. Back to first loves, missed chances, and feelings that refused to stay in the past. Because one thing was clear... her diary was proof that once upon a time, there was a Once Upon an Us.

HER REFUGE - The moment thunder split the sky, she flinched. Rain soaked her to the bone, but it couldn't wash away the betrayal etched across her face. Her fingers tightened painfully around her phone as she stared at the only man she'd ever trusted. Elian Moretti. The man the world feared. The man she loved. The man who had lied to her from the very beginning. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, ELIAN?" Her scream tore through the storm. He didn't move. Behind him stood a line of black SUVs and armed men waiting for their boss's command. Yet, for the first time in years, the most powerful man in Italy stood powerless before one woman. "Why?" she whispered, her voice breaking. "Why couldn't you just be real?" "...Stella." "Don't." She laughed, but it sounded more like a sob. "Don't you dare call me that." "I beg you, Mr. Moretti... just leave me alone. I don't need your refuge. I never asked for your protection... I never asked for you." She looked at him with nothing but disgust. "You're a liar." "A traitor." "An absolute bastard." Silence. Only rain. Only thunder. Only two hearts shattering at once. "I hope you lose everything, Elian." His jaw tightened. "...Enough." "I hate you." No tears. No screams. Just emptiness. "You disgust me." For the first time, something inside Elian Moretti broke. But he didn't defend himself. He didn't reveal the truth. He simply watched the love of his life walk away and whispered, "And I will love you... until my last breath, mia Stella." She never looked back. She never saw the men rushing toward him. She never heard the gunshot that echoed through the storm. She never knew that walking away from Elian Moretti would become the biggest mistake of her life...
