With cameras flashing and her world in tatters, Soren’s daring proposal to reprise their old “fake-dating” act offers more than just protection—it promises a chance at redemption…and maybe even real love. Can Raisel trust the one man who knows her deepest secrets, or will the ghosts of the past destroy her all over again?

When Dorian Falco’s stepsister and secret lover was found brutally violated in a slum alleyway, the Mafia Don lost his fucking mind.
And he blamed me.
He dragged me into the manor's dungeon, throwing me to a dozen of his most depraved enforcers.
"Whatever Camilla suffered, you'll pay back a thousand times over."
I collapsed on the freezing floor, sobbing as I desperately clutched his pant leg. "I love you! I would never hurt her! Please, Dorian, believe me!"
Dorian only offered his cruelest sneer.
"Jealous that she gets the real thing? Fine. I'll make you filthier than she ever was."
He locked me in that blood-stained cell for seven days and nights.
His thugs, given carte blanche by the Don, whipped me with chains and violated me without restraint. I screamed Dorian's name in the darkness until my throat shredded.
Seven days later, Dorian returned with a recovering Camilla.
He stood outside the heavy iron door, his voice dripping with mock generosity.
"Crawl out here, Saoirse. Get on your knees, kiss Camilla's shoes, and maybe—just maybe—I'll let you live."
Silence. No answer.
Because three days ago, I had already died in that cell.

Lila Harper has her life exactly the way she wants it – a psychology degree within reach, a strict no-relationships rule, and a peaceful home she shares with her best friend.

Ryan is a decorated detective carrying the wreckage of a ten-year marriage that ended in a rehab facility parking lot with divorce papers in one hand and nothing left to his name in the other.

But when Ryan moves in with his sister, he meets her bright-eyed, positivity-obsessed roommate who is too bright for his gloomy mood. They argue over everything. They get under each other's skin in ways neither can explain. And the more they clash, the harder it becomes to ignore what's simmering underneath all that friction.

Ryan needs stability. Lila doesn't do relationships.

What happens when two people who are wrong for each other feel so undeniably right?
