"She wanted to die, and I didn't see it." All this time I'd spent with her. I knew she was hurting, but I didn't see how much. How deep the darkness went. She's dying right now. And it's my fault. ****** After a public breakdown and a year-long battle with writer's block and depression, bestselling author Aelin Graves has run out of words-and out of excuses. Her publisher gives her one last chance: finish her next book in four months, or lose her career for good. Desperate to find the spark she once had, Aelin starts spending her days in a quiet coffee shop, hoping inspiration might find her again. Instead, she meets Sebby Hawk - the guarded owner who seems just as determined to outrun his past as she is. He built his coffee shops to escape the life expected of him. She came looking for a story. Neither of them planned on becoming part of one. But when you're already falling apart, love can feel just as terrifying as losing everything. Content Warning: This story contains sexual themes, strong langage and mental health struggles, like depression and suicidal thoughts and actions. This is a romance with HEA, but there will be a ton of angst beforehand. Reader discretion is advised.

𝐈𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. ✞ ✞ ✞ He wanted to use her. She was the mastermind who planned for that all along. ✞ ✞ ✞ Power. Power built them. Power is what will destroy them. From sworn enemies to reluctant allies, there is nothing 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐯 wouldn't do, nobody she wouldn't use to reach what her mind has been fixated on for years. Revenge. She's inhumane. Emotionless. Messed up in the head-a diagnosed ASPD mind turned into something precise, something dangerous. A machine. The underworld doesn't call her by name. They call her the flame behind the ghost don. The living requiem. Nyx. And when something like her sets her sights on a target? She takes. Uses. Burns everything necessary to get what she wants. And 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐨 became exactly that. There's nothing the Camorra king hates more than her-the ghost, the flame, the thorn in his side he's been chasing for years. The assassin behind the Russian don he wants nothing more than to take down. The one thing standing between him and full control over New York City. Blaze is forced to do the one thing he would rather die than do: Ally with the enemy. It was supposed to be simple. Temporary. Strategic. But temptation has always been a dangerous game, and Vera has never been the kind to walk away from a game. Especially one she knows she'll win. Because she's always ten steps ahead. And this time, she chose to play.

Naaz Rashid should have died. She doesn't know why she survived. She doesn't know what happened to her. And, at first, she has no reason to believe that her inexplicable brush with death has anything to do with the strange events that begin unfolding afterward. But strange things have a habit of becoming stranger. A curse is released. Old secrets begin resurfacing. People separated by distance and time find themselves connected by circumstances they cannot explain. The past begins bleeding into the present, while discoveries at the edges of science suggest that some things dismissed as superstition may be far more tangible than anyone would like to believe. There are haunted places, buried histories, impossible phenomena and people whose greatest threat may not be what lurks outside them, but what lies within. And somewhere amid the horror, the absurdity and the occasional moments of dreadful normality, one question remains: What, exactly, did Naaz survive? Because whatever happened that day was not the end of something. It was the beginning.

Labib can't confess to his dream girl on screen. He can't confess to Ellie off-screen either. He's a romcom character stuck in his own behind-the-scenes disaster, and honestly, nobody on set is surprised anymore. Two love stories, zero confessions, thirty-one parts of an absolute glorious mess.
