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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
