Kason "Khotic" Brewster never planned on living long. At seventeen, he buried both of his parents in the same week. His mother died instantly in a car crash. His father held on just long enough to make Kason promise one thing before he passed. Take care of your brother and sister. So that's exactly what he did. Twelve years later Khotic is the man the streets call when things get ugly. Feared. Respected. Untouchable. Everything he does is for the two people depending on him to make it out of the life he's stuck in. He's content with that. Until Beauty Cardwell crashes into his world. Bee is nothing like the women Khotic usually deals with. She's a twenty-five-year-old brain surgeon, a child prodigy who finished school before most people finished learning who they were. She's blunt, literal, and socially awkward in ways people don't always understand. Diagnosed with high-functioning autism, Bee doesn't believe in pretending to be something she's not. She says exactly what she means. And for some reason... Khotic likes that. What starts as a chance meeting turns into something neither of them expected. Bee sees the man behind Khotic's reputation. The older brother trying to keep his promise. The boy who never got the chance to grieve. And Khotic sees something in Bee that the world keeps missing. But loving a man like Khotic means stepping into a life Bee was never meant to be part of. Enemies. Loyalty. Violence. The kind of danger that doesn't care how smart you are. And Khotic knows one thing for sure. Good girls like Beauty Cardwell aren't supposed to fall for men like him.

In the mind of a virgin, everything feels deeper than it should. Every glance holds meaning. Every touch lingers. Every moment stretches just a little longer when it's her. Giovanna thought she understood herself. Thought she knew how far she'd go how much she'd feel how to stay in control. But J5 makes everything blur in the quietest way. It's not loud. Not rushed. It's slow tension soft moments stolen between conversations that last too long and silences that say even more. They don't rush into each other they orbit. J5 is careful with her feelings but not distant. The way she looks at Giovanna says enough even when she doesn't say anything at all. And Giovanna feels it every time like something pulling her closer without asking. There's hesitation. There's nerves. There's that quiet fear of wanting something too much too soon. But it's mutual. Always mutual. It shows in the way they linger before pulling away. In the way their words almost say everything but stop just short. In the way neither of them really wants to let go once they finally get close. This isn't messy. It isn't rushed. It's soft tension. It's curiosity turning into something real. It's two people trying to understand what this feeling is without ruining it. And maybe that's what makes it so intense. Because for the first time... it's not just in her head. It's them.

"Don't look at me like that..." I scoffed, licking my lips to hide my smile as I looked up at her. She was tempting. Very tempting. And it wasn't intentional, but I could tell she was falling for it anyway. Obliviously, "Like what?" Her lips curled, showing me what I tried my best to hide. She let out a small laugh, looking away so my eyes could no longer meet hers. And then, "Like you're going to make me regret my decision." _ After a traumatic event that truly exposed her to the reality that she'd been constantly warned about, Areli meets Savannah, a kind woman who brings all the best things around. But, of course, it's always too good to be true. - BOOK ONE
