He’s my brother’s best friend. My father’s star player. And the one man I should never want. When my brother’s hockey team takes me in for a mandatory winter internship during the holiday season, I promised myself I’d stay invisible. Keep my head down, finish my internship, and steer clear of trouble. But trouble has a name—and it’s Liam Kane. He’s all sharp edges, wicked smirks, and muscles that make rational thoughts melt like snowflakes when the sun is out. A professional hockey player with a reputation for breaking hearts and rules alike. When one stolen kiss turns into nights tangled in his sheets, I know I’ve crossed the line. Because if my brother finds out—or worse, my dad, the team’s coach-Liam’s career and my future would both go up in flames. The rules were simple. No dating the players. No falling for him. Too bad I’m already pucked.

She was once the cherished daughter of a respected professor, but now, she is nothing more than a shadow in the city-poor, struggling, and alone. Whispers follow her wherever she goes. Beauty like hers, they say, is a curse for a girl without power. They assume she'll do anything for money. But she is fire, untamed and unbroken. The university, once her father's legacy, is now under the control of a powerful man-a man who watches her with a cruel smile, waiting for the moment she will break. He holds the strings to her fate, dragging her into a silent war where wealth and control always win. Then, he returns. The boy who once played by her side, the boy who vanished the night of the tragedy, is back-no longer a friend, no longer the boy she knew. Now, he stands at the front of the lecture hall, wearing the title of Professor. His cold, unreadable eyes lock onto hers. His touch lingers like a ghost from the past. He helps her in the shadows, yet she feels his presence in every downfall she faces. Does he still hold the warmth of their past, or has he returned only to watch her drown? As secrets unravel and desires ignite, she must decide-fight against the power that seeks to destroy her, or surrender to the darkness lurking within the man she once called her own.

After her mother’s funeral, Katrina Bellini returns to a house that was never truly hers… and to a man she should never want. Gregory Romano is powerful, untouchable, and completely off-limits. But the more they try to keep their distance, the more the tension between them burns. One mistake is all it takes to cross a line that can never be undone… and in a world where secrets don’t stay buried, their forbidden desire could cost them everything. “I told you this can’t happen,” Gregory said, his voice low, controlled… but his hand still lingered at her waist. “Then why are you touching me like you don’t want me to leave?” Katrina whispered, her breath brushing against his lips. His jaw tightened. “You don’t understand what you’re asking for.” “Then make me understand,” she murmured, closing the distance just enough to make restraint feel impossible. For a moment, he didn’t move… and that hesitation said more than any confession ever could.
