𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, a young investigator refuses to stay silent when a friend goes missing. Giselle is determined, relentless, and fearless, chasing every lead no matter the danger. But the deeper she digs, the darker the truth becomes, and the closer she gets to people she thought she knew. Every ally could be a threat. Every answer could be a trap. And some secrets are so twisted, they'll make her question everything she believes about trust, loyalty, and the people she loves. In a world where witnesses lie and danger lurks in the shadows, how far will Giselle go to uncover the truth-and how much will she risk before it's too late?

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, Best friends since childhood, two girls grow up chasing fast money and a life far from classrooms and rules. They sell illegal goods, finesse their way through the streets, and live rich without taking the long way. As they get older, their choices start to separate them-one in and out of jail, the other caught only once when she was young. But the lifestyle doesn't forget. When they're finally caught for real, it's no longer juvenile time-it's prison. And behind those walls, loyalty, survival, and the bond they built as girls are put to the ultimate test.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, survival is a performance and love is the one rule never meant to be broken, a girl who lives by a barrowed name and practiced lies meets the one person who sees past her masks. What begins as a transaction drifts into something dangerously real, blurring the line between choice and consequence. As secrets pile up and trust becomes a weapon, both hunter and hunted are set on a path neither of them can outrun. This is a story of desire, deception, and what it costs to be truly seen.

Zahara Wells never believed love could feel like punishment-until her father's debt became her price. When the Brewsters come calling to collect, she expects threats, maybe violence... not a proposal. Now bound to David Brewster III, the cold and calculated heir to Miami's most dangerous family, Zahara is forced into a world of money, blood, and silent wars. Her job? Play the perfect wife, smile for the cameras, and remember she's only there because her father owed him. But David doesn't want her obedience-he wants her loyalty. And the longer she stays, the more she realizes his touch feels less like control and more like protection. Still, in a world built on power and payback, falling for the man who owns you might be the deadliest mistake of all. Because nothing in the Brewster empire comes free. Not money. Not loyalty. Not love. Only The Contract. Coverrr by @TrenchLordTales <3

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇- Everyone believes Nyelle Carter is just the girlfriend. The kind of woman men overlook. The kind they talk around instead of to. The kind who listens quietly while power moves past her. Isaiah Rowan has spent five years undercover, building a case that finally feels close enough to touch. A respected club owner by night, a detective by training, he knows how to read people, knows when to trust his instincts. What he doesn't expect is Nyelle. She isn't reckless. She isn't loud. And she isn't as unaware as she pretends to be. Their connection isn't planned. It isn't safe. And it isn't supposed to last. But in a world built on secrets, proximity becomes dangerous, affection becomes complicated, and silence begins to mean more than truth.
