One mistake. One kidnapping. One war waiting to happen. Y/N’s life changes forever after she witnesses something she was never supposed to see. Within hours she’s taken by the infamous Moretti Syndicate—the most feared criminal organization in the city, led by the ruthless Adrian Moretti. Adrian believes she’s connected to his greatest enemy. Y/N has no idea why she’s there. What neither of them knows… …is that the man Adrian has spent years trying to destroy is Y/N’s own brother. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, the line between enemy and protector begins to blur. Because sometimes… the most dangerous place to fall in love is in the arms of the man who stole your freedom.
Y/N Walker is the girl everyone knows. The life of every party. The queen of campus nightlife. Fearless, loud, and completely unpredictable. Her twin brother, Liam Walker, is exactly the same. The only problem? They can’t stand each other. So they throw separate parties, run with different crowds, and avoid each other whenever possible. Everything changes after one unforgettable night when Y/N walks into her kitchen after a party and finds Noah Carter—her brother’s best friend—already there. He’s charming. Annoyingly attractive. And completely off-limits. What starts as sarcastic banter quickly turns into something neither of them expected. But between jealous exes, family drama, wild parties, old secrets, and one very protective twin brother, falling for each other might be the worst idea they’ve ever had. Or the best.
AFTER MIDNIGHT Everyone knows Adrian Moretti. Twenty-four years old. Owner of the city’s most exclusive nightclubs. The guy mothers warn their daughters about. He never stays until morning. Never calls back. Never falls in love. Girls tell each other not to expect more from Adrian Moretti. Not because he lies. But because he doesn’t. He’s always honest about one thing: He’ll never be the man they want him to be. Then she walks into Velvet. A girl with no last name. No expectations. No interest in becoming another one of Adrian’s stories. She introduces herself as Y/N… …and disappears before he can ask for anything more. For the first time in his life, Adrian is the one chasing. Late-night drives. Stolen kisses. Secrets hidden beneath city lights. And a girl who refuses to tell him who she really is. Because Y/N knows exactly what will happen if Adrian discovers the truth. She’s Y/N Walker. The little sister of the man who’s been trying to destroy Adrian for years. And the ex-girlfriend of the best friend Adrian would do anything for. In a city built on loyalty, power, and revenge… Falling in love with the wrong person comes with a price. And some secrets are powerful enough to destroy everyone.
Eight years ago, Y/N crashed into Leo Moretti’s life like a hurricane. Three years ago, she walked away and never looked back. Leo Moretti—the feared leader of the Moretti empire—ruled the city alongside his brothers, Luca Moretti and Damian Moretti. Powerful, dangerous, and untouchable, the three brothers were names that made people lower their voices. Y/N didn’t care. She never cared about reputations, power, or fear. While everyone else stepped aside when the Moretti brothers entered a room, she was the girl dancing on tables, sneaking into VIP sections, and turning every party into a story people talked about for months. She was chaos. And somehow, Leo fell in love with it. They met when she was seventeen and he was nineteen. What started as a reckless attraction turned into five years of stolen nights, heated arguments, unforgettable adventures, and a love neither of them could walk away from. Y/N Black was the one person who never treated Leo like a king. She challenged him. Mocked him. Stole his jackets. Dragged him into clubs when he wanted to work. And laughed every time someone warned her to stay away from the Moretti family. To everyone else, Leo Moretti was untouchable. To her, he was just Leo. Then one argument destroyed everything. The worst fight of their lives ended with words neither of them could take back. And in a moment of heartbreak, anger, and pride, Y/N left. No goodbye. No explanation. No second chance. She vanished. For three years, nobody knew where she had gone. Not Leo. Not Luca. Not Damian. Despite all the power and connections the Moretti empire possessed, they couldn’t find a single trace of her. Over time, she became nothing more than a rumor. A ghost. A memory Leo buried beneath work, power, and endless nights that never quite felt the same. Now, three years later, Y/N Black is walking back into his club. Twenty-five years old and still impossible to control. Still showing up wherever she wants.
Y/N has never been afraid of anything. Not of breaking rules. Not of taking risks. And definitely not of getting her heart broken. She lives for late nights, loud music, and the freedom of having nothing to lose. Then one night, at a party, she meets Noah Rossi. The boy everyone talks about. The boy every girl wants. The boy her brother warned her to stay away from. Noah has spent years keeping people at a distance, hiding behind charm, parties, and a reputation he’s never bothered to fix. But Y/N isn’t like everyone else. She’s fearless. He’s untouchable. And neither of them expected one night to change everything. In a world of secrets, heartbreak, and reckless decisions, the biggest risk might be falling for the one person they were never supposed to want.
Leo Moretti owns the city. His clubs, his influence, his reputation—everyone knows his name. Everyone except the one girl who never cared. Three years ago, Y/N Black disappeared and took his heart with her. Now she’s back. And no matter how much time has passed, Leo quickly realizes one thing: She still has the power to ruin him.
Everyone knows Y/N. The girl with the perfect smile. The life of every party. The one who never says no to another drink, another stranger, or another reckless night. But no one knows she’s been running ever since her younger brother died. Because if she stops… She’ll have to feel everything she’s been trying to forget. Then there’s Jace Walker. The city’s biggest fuckboy. The guy every girl wants and every friend warns them about. He doesn’t do relationships. He doesn’t stay the night. He doesn’t let anyone get close. When Y/N and Jace cross paths at a party, neither of them expects anything more than another meaningless night. Instead, they find someone who sees through the masks they’ve spent years perfecting. What starts as secret late-night meetings soon becomes something neither of them knows how to handle. Because falling in love is easy. Trusting someone with your broken pieces is the hard part. Sometimes the people who look the most alive are the ones fighting the hardest just to survive.
Everyone knows Y/N Carter. The girl with the loudest laugh. The fastest car. The wildest stories. She’s fearless, reckless, and impossible to forget. At least that’s what everyone believes. Behind the parties and careless smiles are sleepless nights, childhood scars, and a father whose name still haunts her. After her older brother vanished without a trace years ago, Y/N learned the hard way that the people you love are usually the first to leave. Then she meets Mason Brooks. The charming golden boy with a reputation almost as dangerous as hers. What begins as late-night drives, stolen kisses, and a love neither of them expected quickly turns into something neither of them can escape. Because Mason is hiding secrets powerful enough to destroy everything. Secrets about Y/N’s missing brother. Secrets about her father. Secrets that could get her killed. When one devastating night shatters everything they built together, Y/N is left believing the one person she trusted chose someone else. She has no idea that the greatest betrayal of her life… …was actually the greatest sacrifice. As old enemies close in and buried truths begin to surface, Y/N must decide who she can trust before the past catches up with her. Because sometimes the people who break your heart… …are the very ones trying to save it. Some love stories end with goodbye. Theirs begins there. ♡
Y/N Carter has spent her entire life fighting to prove that she belongs in the boxing ring. When the opportunity to train at Blackwood Academy is given to her twin brother, Alex, Y/N makes a decision that could change everything. She takes his place. Disguised as Alex, Y/N enters a world of competitive boxing, strict rules, dangerous secrets—and becomes the roommate of Blackwood’s undefeated champion, Jace Callahan. There’s just one problem. Jace has met Y/N before. At a party. They danced together, flirted, and shared a night neither of them has completely forgotten. Now, Y/N has to live with him every day while pretending to be someone else. As friendships grow, secrets become harder to hide, and Jace starts developing confusing feelings for his new roommate, Y/N realizes that pretending to be Alex might be the easiest part of her plan. Because falling for Jace Callahan was never supposed to happen. 🥊 She stole her brother’s name to chase her dream. 🖤 She never expected to lose her heart in the process.
Y/N Walker knows the underground world better than most. Fast cars. Illegal races. Underground parties. Rival crews. She’s never been afraid of the danger—and she’s definitely not waiting for someone to save her. For the past two years, Y/N has been with Dante Moretti, leader of the Moretti Crew. Their relationship is built on trust, friendship and a love that feels real. Then Kade Russo comes back. Four years ago, Kade was Y/N’s best friend—and the boy she never got to call hers. They shared late-night drives, races, almost-kisses and one kiss neither of them ever talked about. Then he disappeared. His last words were a promise. “I’ll come back for you.” Y/N waited. Until she didn’t. Now Kade is back as the leader of the Black Serpents—and he’s standing on the opposite side of a rivalry that already exists between him and Dante. Kade never stopped loving her. Dante isn’t planning on letting her go. And Y/N? She’s caught between the past she never got closure from and the future she chose for herself. Because in a world where loyalty means everything, loving someone might be the most dangerous race of all.
Y/N Walker thought the worst part of the night would be ending her two-year relationship in the middle of a party. She was wrong. Heartbroken and with nowhere else to go, she heads to her older brother Noah’s apartment—the one place she’s sure she’ll be left alone to fall apart. What she doesn’t know is that Noah isn’t home. He’s away for the weekend, leaving his apartment—and his golden retriever, Atlas—in the care of his best friend, Lucas Bennett. Lucas has one rule he’s never broken: Never touch your best friend’s little sister. But rules become a lot harder to follow when Y/N shows up at his door after 2 a.m., wearing a black leather dress, mascara running down her cheeks, and looking like she’s trying to outrun a broken heart. One impulsive weekend changes everything. Now they’re left with a secret they never meant to create, feelings neither of them expected, and the terrifying reality that Noah can never find out. Because losing each other would hurt. But losing Noah might destroy them both.
At 23, Y/N finally escapes her abusive boyfriend with nowhere to go. A chance encounter with Marcus Blackwood—a notorious street racer with a dangerous reputation—changes everything. What begins as a simple deal for protection soon turns into a passionate romance, giving Y/N the freedom she’s always dreamed of. But when Marcus reveals the devastating secret he’s been hiding, everything falls apart. The hit-and-run accident that has haunted him for years is the same one that killed Y/N’s father. Now torn between love and betrayal, Y/N must decide whether to forgive the man who stole her heart—or walk away forever. Some secrets destroy lives. Others change them forever.
Y/N Walker has a reputation. Not because she sleeps around. Not because she’s mean. But because she lives every night like it’s her last. She’s the girl dancing on top of the bar before eleven, the one who knows half the city by name, and the last person to leave the club with a smile still on her face. She lives for the parties. The music. The freedom. The adrenaline. And she refuses to apologize for any of it. Her older brother, Samuel, on the other hand? He hates everything about her lifestyle. He’s the captain of the hockey team, the league’s golden boy, and completely obsessed with protecting his little sister from guys exactly like him. Especially Xavier Carter. The league’s biggest player. Samuel’s greatest rival. The guy who never spends two nights with the same girl. The problem? Y/N and Xavier have been obsessed with each other long before they ever officially met. The first time they kissed was supposed to be a mistake. The second time was a choice. After that… There was no going back. Now they’re sneaking around between nightclubs, hotel rooms, after-parties, and secret late-night meetups while pretending to hate each other in front of everyone else. But secrets never stay buried forever. And when Samuel discovers the truth, it won’t just destroy their relationship… …it could tear the entire team apart.
Two heirs. Two rival mafias. One forbidden love. Everyone knows me as Nora Blake. A college student who parties too much, complains about exams, and spends her nights with her three best friends. But Nora Blake doesn’t exist. My real name is Y/N Carter. Daughter of one of the most powerful mafia bosses in the country. Heir to an empire built on blood, loyalty, and fear. I’ve spent my entire life preparing to take over my father’s world. But college is different. Here, I can pretend to be normal. Until I meet Jace. He’s arrogant, reckless, dangerously charming—and the first person who makes me forget who I’m supposed to be. What I don’t know is that Jace has a secret of his own. He’s not just another college boy. He’s the heir to the one family my father has sworn to destroy. The Rossis. We were never supposed to meet. Never supposed to fall in love. And definitely never supposed to discover who the other really is. Now our families are preparing for war. And we’re caught in the middle. Because keeping our relationship secret means lying to everyone we love. But if our fathers ever discover the truth… the war won’t be about territory anymore. It will be about us.
Y/N never expected one night to change everything. She’s a cheerleader at Westbrook University, loves parties, and has no problem having fun—as long as things never become too serious. After a relationship that left her afraid of giving someone the power to hurt her again, catching real feelings is the one thing she refuses to do. Then there’s Jaxon Hayes. Blackwood University’s star quarterback. Party boy. Fuckboy. And exactly the kind of guy Y/N knows she should stay away from. They meet through their best friends, disappear from each other’s lives, and then find themselves thrown back into the same friend group months later. The problem? Jaxon isn’t supposed to care. And Y/N definitely isn’t supposed to fall for him. But between football games, cheerleading competitions, chaotic parties, protective siblings, complicated exes, and a friend group that notices everything, staying away from each other becomes harder than either of them expected. Because sometimes the person you’re most afraid of falling for is the one person you can’t seem to walk away from.
Everyone knows Adrian Hayes. Captain of the hockey team. Campus heartbreaker. The guy who never stays the night. Y/N can’t stand him. He’s loud, arrogant, and somehow always has the perfect comeback. She’s been dating the same boyfriend, Noah, for almost two years, and Adrian never misses an opportunity to tease her about how “boring” her relationship looks. Then one night, after another sarcastic argument outside a campus party, Adrian smirks and says the words she’ll never forget: “When you break up with this guy—which you will—you’re gonna want a fun ride to distract you. Call me.” Y/N laughs in his face. “As if.” But weeks later, her seemingly perfect relationship falls apart. Heartbroken, angry, and a little reckless, she finds herself staring at Adrian’s contact in her phone… the one she definitely shouldn’t have. One call. One impulsive night. No strings attached. At least, that’s what they both promise. Because the biggest mistake either of them can make… is catching feelings. Except Adrian has been waiting for that phone call a lot longer than Y/N realizes.
They’ve been playing the same game for years. Y/N knows exactly how to make Kian jealous. Kian knows exactly how to make her jealous. Neither of them will admit they care. They’re best friends. Rivals. Almost-lovers. And absolutely terrible at staying away from each other. Every party ends with stolen glances. Every argument ends with unfinished words. Every time one of them starts seeing someone else, the other suddenly remembers just how much they care. But then Y/N meets Ethan. He’s different. He doesn’t play games. He doesn’t make her wonder where she stands. He actually chooses her. And for the first time, Kian realizes that the game they’ve been playing might have consequences. Because what happens when the person you always expected to come back… finally doesn’t?
One unforgettable night. One devastating lie. One secret that changes everything. Y/N Walker never cared about money, power, or famous last names. She lived for the moment—late nights, loud music, and making memories she’d never regret. Until she met Adrian Moretti. The city’s most notorious billionaire heir. One night together was supposed to be nothing more than a beautiful mistake. Instead, it became the beginning of a nightmare. Forced apart by a lie neither of them chose, Adrian spends two years believing Y/N betrayed him for five million dollars. What he doesn’t know… She never took the money. She took the blame. And she walked away carrying his child. When fate forces them back into each other’s lives, old feelings collide with buried secrets, dangerous enemies, and a little boy with Adrian’s eyes. Some lies destroy love. Others are told to protect it. But every secret comes with a price.
Y/N has never been the kind of girl who needs a relationship to feel complete. She’s confident, independent, and always has something going on. Between university, friends, parties, workouts, and a life that refuses to slow down, romance has never been at the top of her list. Until one reckless night changes everything. Kian Calloway is everything she knows she should stay away from—the tattooed football player with a bad reputation, an arrogant smile, and far too much chemistry with her. They make one mistake. One night. No names. No feelings. No strings attached. At least, that’s the agreement. Then there’s Rhett Morgan. Kian’s best friend. Rhett is different. He’s charming, caring, confident, and somehow manages to see through Y/N’s walls. What starts as casual flirting slowly turns into something neither of them expected. Something real. But Rhett doesn’t know about that night. And Kian isn’t exactly thrilled about watching his best friend fall for the girl he can’t seem to forget. As secrets begin to surface, old feelings become impossible to ignore, and the lines between friendship, attraction, and love start to blur, Y/N finds herself caught between two boys who were never supposed to become part of the same story. Because sometimes one night is all it takes to change everything. And sometimes the person you’re falling for is the one person who can never find out how it started.
Y/N Carter has spent years living two completely different lives. By day, she’s a confident college student with a sharp tongue, a quick wit, and absolutely no patience for the campus hockey team’s biggest flirt, Casper Hayes. By night, she’s Angel—the mysterious dancer no one truly knows. Hidden behind stage lights, glitter, and a fake name, she works in secret to help support her family and protect the one person who means everything to her: her little sister. She has one rule. Never let her two worlds collide. Casper Hayes has never believed in love. Parties, hookups, and hockey are all he’s ever needed. Relationships have always been temporary—until he walks into a nightclub one Friday night and meets a woman he can’t stop thinking about. Angel. She doesn’t fall for his charm. She doesn’t chase him. And for the first time in his life… Casper is the one being left wanting more. As he becomes obsessed with uncovering the mystery behind the girl with the angel-wing tattoo, neither of them realizes they’re already spending every day together. Because Angel isn’t a stranger. She’s the same girl who argues with him in class. The same girl who rolls her eyes every time he opens his mouth. The same girl who’s sworn she’ll never fall for a guy like him. But secrets never stay hidden forever. And when the truth finally comes to light, Y/N and Casper will have to decide whether love is worth risking everything they’ve worked so hard to protect. Sometimes the person you’ve been chasing all along… has been standing right in front of you.
She spent three years running from her past. She never expected it to find her in the arms of her greatest enemy. At twenty years old, Y/N Carter has mastered the art of pretending. By day, she’s fearless. By night, she’s the girl who drinks too much, dances until sunrise, and chases anything that helps her forget the childhood she barely escaped. Everyone believes her father is nothing more than a violent alcoholic. Including Y/N. Then she meets Jace Rossi. Charming. Dangerously handsome. The owner of the city’s most exclusive nightclubs. He’s everything she promised herself she’d stay away from. What Y/N doesn’t know is that Jace is hiding a life far darker than she could ever imagine. A life built on blood, loyalty, and secrets. As their worlds collide, buried truths begin to surface, old enemies awaken, and Y/N finds herself caught in the middle of a war that started long before she was born. Because some families don’t let you leave. And some secrets were never meant to stay buried.
Y/N thought the worst part of the night was ending things with her boyfriend in the middle of a party. She was wrong. With mascara running down her cheeks and her heart in pieces, she takes a taxi to her older brother’s apartment—the one place she believes she can be alone. What she doesn’t know is that her brother is away for the weekend, and his best friend has agreed to look after both the apartment and his dog. He was expecting a quiet weekend filled with dog walks, movies, and pizza. Instead… She’s standing in his doorway. Heartbroken. Angry. Beautiful. One night of too many drinks, lingering silence, and one reckless decision changes everything. By morning, the alcohol is gone. The regret isn’t. Now they have to live with a secret that can never come to light… Especially not if her older brother ever finds out.
Y/N Walker didn’t come to Blackwood University to fall in love. She came to keep her scholarship, earn her degree, and build the future she’s worked her entire life for. Hockey players? They’re loud, arrogant, and exactly the kind of distraction she doesn’t need. After one reckless night with a stranger she never even learned the name of, Y/N is certain it’s a mistake she’ll never have to think about again. Until Monday morning. The mysterious guy from the party walks onto the stage as Blackwood University’s new hockey captain. Liam Carter. Her childhood enemy. The boy who made her life miserable growing up. Now, thanks to campus rumors, jealous exes, and one impulsive decision, they’re forced into a fake relationship that neither of them wants. At least… That’s what they keep telling themselves. Because pretending to be in love becomes a lot harder when every stolen glance feels real, every kiss lingers a little too long, and the line between hate and love begins to disappear. With secrets from their past threatening to tear them apart and their hearts refusing to follow the rules, Y/N and Liam must decide if they’re willing to risk everything… For something that was never supposed to be real. Fake dating. Hockey romance. Childhood enemies. One unforgettable night. Sometimes the person you swore you’d never love… is the one you can’t let go.
