The craziest thing I’ve ever done was let a dangerous man touch me, and not pull away. “Trust me.” Words like that could mess you up in this line of work. Then he did something I didn’t expect, he stretched out a hand. Even I knew when not to doubt a helping hand. I sighed. Well, roadkill it is then. I clasped his hand and his firm grip pulled me up out of the line of fire. *** Cake Coogan survives by her fists and her fury, spending her life fighting in underground rings to keep herself and her mother alive. But one stolen payout, one stranger’s intervention, and one accidental bag switch drops her into the crosshairs of Nico Vescari.

As bodies fall and alliances burn, Cake is forced to choose between revenge and the man who has broken her, protected her, and ruined her life in equal measure. In a story of obsession, and betrayal,only the strongest survive. And Cake Coogan is not prey.

Nicole Evans never asked to be followed. She never asked for eyes in the dark, for a man like Vane to orbit her life with silence and devotion sharp enough to wound. But obsession doesn’t ask permission. It waits. It watches. It becomes inevitable. What began with missing men and shadows on rooftops soon unraveled into something far more intimate—an assassin who couldn’t let go, and a woman who, piece by piece, stopped trying to make him. As friends vanished and her world narrowed, Nicole found herself drawn toward the very thing she feared most—not out of love, but recognition. In his violence, there was something terrifyingly tender. In his silence, something that listened more closely than anyone else ever had. Theirs is not a love story in any ordinary sense. It’s a descent—a long, slow collapse into dependency, into surrender. A story told in bruises and shared tea, in blood and in stillness. A quiet unraveling that doesn’t end in escape, but in a house by the sea, where memory lingers and echoes never fade. Some stories don’t ask to be understood. Only remembered.

The deepest wounds are not always inflicted by enemies. Sometimes, they come from the people you once believed would shield you from the world. For Noa Streep, the people she loved most became the ones who broke her beyond recognition. Four years ago, she was betrayed. Her family forced her to take her sister Mya’s place in prison while she was pregnant. And the man who was supposed to protect her—her husband, Czar Holland—stood by and allowed it to happen. When Noa was finally released, she found Czar celebrating with Mya and the son she had nearly died giving birth to. On top of that, her son, Eli, called Mya his mother. Her twin daughter, Elodie, was also dead. And everyone believed she was a murderer. Noa divorced Czar, gave up her parental rights, and disappeared without looking back. Six years later, she returned back. Powerful. Wealthy. Untouchable. The family that once abandoned her now knelt before her. Her parents begged her to come back. Even the son who once hated her wrapped himself around her legs. But the most shocking reaction came from Czar. The cold husband who had once watched her suffer. He cornered her against the wall. His eyes were bloodshot as he whispered— “You can’t escape again, Noa.” Because this time, the woman he had abandoned was no longer begging for his love. And Czar would do anything to make her fall in love with him again.
