Megan Voss finally has everything she dreamed of-a promising career, the perfect boyfriend, and a future she's worked her entire life to earn. Then her CEO begins mentoring her. Christian Price is brilliant, respected, and completely off-limits. As long hours become quiet conversations and admiration slowly turns into something far more dangerous, Megan finds herself questioning whether being truly understood is worth destroying everything she loves. Especially when the man she's falling for... is her boyfriend's father.

The war was supposed to be over. Far away from corporate dynasties and federal courts, Frank Castle and Genevieve Vance thought they had finally bought a quiet life off the grid-a peace made permanent the moment they welcomed their newborn child. But in Frank's world, family is the ultimate target. With a baby in their arms, the stakes change instantly. Old enemies are orchestrating a bitter vendetta from behind prison bars, while a lethal shadow from Frank's military past resurfaces to hunt them down. To protect their child and the life they built from the ashes, Frank and Genevieve must step back into the dark, throw out every rule left, and fight the war of their lives.

​He has one rule: protect her 24/7 and keep his distance. ​Frank Castle is mature, cold, and disciplined to a fault-the family's most trusted bodyguard, an unshakeable presence. She is stubborn, defiant, and determined to test his every limit. ​By day, their relationship is strictly professional. But once the lights go out, forced proximity and heavy silences begin to chip away at Frank's iron restraint. ​Some lines should never be crossed. Especially after hours.

She was the light he followed. He was the darkness she couldn't resist. 🖤 Rym Hakeem has a rule: whatever happens at night, stays at night. No names, no questions, no strings, just a few stolen hours where nobody knows who her father is. Stanton Reeves tells himself it's simple: do the job, don't ask what "the job" really means, stay away from her. He's better at the first two than the third. They break both rules in one night, without even trying. Some rules exist because breaking them is easier than anyone admits. Now they have to live with what they started, under her father's roof, with everything she isn't supposed to know standing right between them.

For nineteen years, Annabella, known by everyone as Bella, grew up with two men she could always rely on: her father, Henry, and Zaack, his father's best friend... Ever since her mother passed away from cancer when Bella was only five years old, Zaack had always been there. Protective, reassuring, almost like a second father. Then, overnight, he left. Two years. A military mission classified as top secret. No calls. No explanations. During his absence, Bella went through the hardest moments of her life, and the person she needed the most was no longer there. Today, Zaack is finally back. But their reunion is nothing like what they had imagined. Between anger, wounds, guilt, and secrets, the years have changed everything... especially them.

dirty little secret. the rules were simple, don't get attached, don't get caught, and never let your dad find out. you break the first rule almost immediately. the second doesn't stay intact for long. the third? that's the one that'll destroy everything.

Mr Jacob's was my dads best friend. He was forbidden. Older. I couldn't like him. Yet he was all I ever thought about. All I ever craved. I needed him. Please be aware there will be dark themes in this book , that some people could find triggering. This is also a slow burn. Starting where willow is only 12 years old , I wanted to show flashbacks of willow growing up alongside Quinn as a family friend. Absolutely NO romantic/ intimate dynamics take place until the fmc is 18/19 years old.

Six months in New York was supposed to be the beginning. At twenty, Lizzy Grant left Lake Placid behind, chasing a music career she isn't even sure will happen. She's broke, restless, reckless, and slowly becoming someone her family wouldn't recognise - trading innocence for dimly lit bars, vintage records and a new name that feels like a wish rather than an identity. But eventually? She's due a visit home. Her seventeen-year-old brother still remembers every version of the menace she used to be. Her father still sees her as the girl who snuck out at night. And then there's Frank Castle. Her father's best friend. A former solider. A man who has spent years being the person her family could rely on when everything went wrong. He was the one who picked up the pieces when she went too far, driving her home when she had nowhere else to go, and telling her father only what absolutely needed to be said. From when she was only scraped knees, bad decisions, and late night troubles. To him, she's always been Lizzy. That was, until she walked through the door six months later. She's still the same stubborn, reckless girl beneath it all. But the city has sharpened her. She's more confident, more complicated, carrying an entirely different darkness. He hates that he notices. Because Frank Castle is guarded by nature. A man that knows some lines exist for a reason. He's not interested in complicating feelings, especially when those feelings involve his best friend's daughter. What begins as nothing more than familiar arguments, stolen glances, and comments that linger a few seconds too long slowly becomes something neither of them are prepared to name. Frank is supposed to be familiar. Off limits. But he finds himself caught between protecting the girl he's always known, and confronting the woman standing in-front of him. Some things are better left unsaid. Some feelings are better left untouched. And some mistakes are impossible to take back.
