    ​[He protects the President. She can't even protect her ID card.] ​Major Siddharth Shergill is the President's Aide-de-Camp. A former Para SF operative, he is a fortress of silence, discipline, and lethal precision. To him, chaos is a threat, and emotions are a liability. ​Shreya Verma is a walking system error. A genius cyber-security expert who runs on caffeine and panic, she can crack a firewall in seconds but trips over her own feet daily. ​When Shreya hacks a secure "Service Gate" to sneak into the President's estate for her graduation, she expects a shortcut. Instead, she runs straight into a wall. A six-foot-two, armed, and unamused wall named Major Siddharth. ​He thinks she's an assassin. She thinks he's a statue. ​But when a hidden digital threat targets the President, the Iron Wall and the Glitch are forced to work together. Siddharth must keep her alive, and Shreya must keep him sane. ​The only problem? She is the one security risk he never saw coming. ​⚠️ TROPES: 🇮🇳 Bodyguard x Hacker 🔥 Grumpy Major x Sunshine Genius 🏛️ Political Thriller 🚫 Forced Proximity 📏 Size Difference (He's huge, she's tiny) DISCLAIMER: The Major's Security Risk is a work of fiction.

    (SLOWBURN) She gave up on love long ago. Julia Williams has perfected the art of being invisible-a girl who learned to survive alone, caught between parents who chose their new families over her. Emotionally neglected and yearning for affection she'd never receive, Julia built walls around her heart and accepted a bitter truth: some people simply weren't made to be loved. Music became her escape. Performing in bars and clubs, she poured her pain into songs, never expecting anything more from life than the stage beneath her feet. Until one fatal night changes everything. A tragic accident shatters Julia's world and awakens her in an impossible place-a glamorous birthday celebration on August 29, 1987. She's face to face with the most celebrated artist on the planet: Michael Jackson, the King of Pop himself. With a new name, a new identity, and thirty-eight years erased from existence, Julia is thrust into a world of fame, fortune, and unexpected connections. But as she navigates this glittering past, she discovers something she never thought possible: perhaps her heart wasn't broken beyond repair. Perhaps some people are worth learning to love for. Will Julia be able to rewrite his story?

    With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor was dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters -- Charlotte and Bailey -- who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. But things all changed when their father got sent to prison. Eight new social workers and five foster families later, the girls finally found their home. Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family.

    Ava Quinn never knew what to make of Nolan Winters. Her best friends' troubled brother who lived next door. The boy who disappeared only to remerge with black eyes. The boy who hid secrets from everyone around him. The boy who eventually left for college, fading away as a small part of her old life. Six years later when Nolan reappears, everything's different. He's different. Ava finds herself tangled in this new version of him, his stable photography career, his attempts at bridging the gap between his family. She thinks she hates him, that she wants nothing to do with him, but fate seems to have their paths constantly crossing. Suddenly there's something new... Moments alone. Stares. Touching. Things are slipping beyond the barrier of platonic, a new found intoxication drawing them together. It doesn't help that Nolan's sister has strictly warned him away from Ava, or that Nolan's secretive past is creeping into the future... The weight of their tension is burning, hot, and very soon they'll both be drowning. 🖤 𝘽𝙀𝙎𝙏 𝙁𝙍𝙄𝙀𝙉𝘿𝙎 𝘽𝙍𝙊𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍 🖤 𝙎𝙇𝙊𝙒 𝘽𝙐𝙍𝙉 𝙍𝙊𝙈𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀 🖤𝘿𝙐𝘼𝙇 𝙋𝙊𝙑 🖤 18+ 𝙈𝘼𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙀

Cato isn't supposed to be anything but a weapon. Ruthless. Certain. Untouchable. But in the stillness of the water, something shifts, and when the rest of the world starts watching, that shift becomes dangerous because attention in the arena gets you killed and caring about the wrong person gets you killed faster. --- I do not own The Hunger Games or any of its characters or settings; they belong to Suzanne Collins.

Her lowered lashes and trembling lips make him realize that the girl he once ignored is now the only woman capable of undoing him. She wants freedom. He wants her surrender. And in a world bound by family honor, secrets, and desire- love was never supposed to feel this dangerous.The girl he once rejected is now the woman he cannot let go of-even if it means breaking her heart to claim it.

Until a single scandal shatters everything. As public outrage threatens to destroy their empire, Est's parents make an unthinkable decision-to marry him off. Not for love. Not for choice.

But what Est doesn't know- While he's fighting to rebuild his reputation, William is fighting something much quieter. Something that doesn't trend. Something that doesn't wait. Because scandals fade. Power can be reclaimed. But love? Love becomes dangerous when you realize you might lose the one person who loved you first. And sometimes... the husband meant to protect a family name becomes the one worth destroying it for. Cold Husband × Gentle Husband Contract Marriage Slow Burn One-Sided Love Regret Arc 🦈🎸
