A ruthless mafia boss who owns the city—but worships his wife. A chaotic child who turns their empire upside down. Power, danger, and a family he would burn the world to protect.
One night was supposed to mean nothing. But Evelyn doesn’t walk away—and neither do they. Caught between Lucien Vale and Kael Voss, two men who want her in completely different ways yet somehow the same, what started as a mistake turns into something far more dangerous. Because the tension doesn’t fade. It deepens. And neither of them are willing to let her go.
An arranged marriage brings together Aisha Mehra, a fiercely independent woman who never wanted control over her life, and Arjun Rathore, a cold, powerful businessman feared for his influence and secrets. She expects distance and dominance. He expects obligation. Instead, they find something far more dangerous—attention that lingers, patience that softens, and a connection neither of them knows how to resist.
Title: Off The Ice Public Summary: Ava Calloway has always been off-limits—Nathan Calloway’s younger sister, untouchable by rule, and a constant temptation Sebastian Kane has spent years ignoring. Sebastian is the team’s assistant captain: reckless on the ice, controlled everywhere else. He doesn’t cross lines. He enforces them. Until Ava starts crossing them for him. What begins as harmless attention after games slowly turns into something heavier—lingering looks, accidental touches that don’t feel accidental anymore, and a tension neither of them knows how to name without destroying everything around them. Nathan trusts Sebastian more than anyone. That might be the biggest mistake of all.
Zoya Hassan never meant to end up back in Aaron Vale’s orbit. He’s a professional boxer with a violent reputation, an underground fighter with too many enemies and too little control, and the only person who ever made her feel both wanted and overwhelmed at the same time. Years after she left him, she starts working at the same gym—only to find he hasn’t moved on, hasn’t softened, and definitely hasn’t forgotten. Aaron doesn’t love gently. He loves with possession, instinct, and touch he can’t seem to stop reaching for. Zoya resists him at every turn, but the line between anger and attraction keeps blurring. Every interaction carries tension, every argument feels personal, and every near-touch feels deliberate.
Rhea Hassan has everything under control—perfect boyfriend, perfect relationship, perfect life everyone approves of. Adrian Hart is steady, loyal, and safe. The kind of love she’s supposed to keep. Then there’s Aaron Vale. Her boyfriend’s childhood best friend. Arrogant, reckless, impossible to ignore—and the one person who never knows how to keep his distance. What starts as harmless tension in shared spaces slowly turns into something sharper: lingering looks, accidental touches, conversations that feel too personal to mean nothing. Rhea tells herself she doesn’t like him. Not at first. Not ever. But the lines blur quickly when attention turns into habit, and habit turns into something neither of them are willing to name out loud. And when Adrian finally starts noticing what’s been building between them, it’s already too late to pretend it never existed.
They weren’t supposed to meet. And definitely not like that. A near accident. A reckless stranger. A bad first impression that should’ve ended there. But later that night— he hears her sing his song. And for the first time in a long time… it sounds real again.
Her past won’t leave her alone. Her future refuses to back down. And she’s stuck between the boy she escaped and the one who won’t let her forget what it feels like to be wanted.
Alessia Devereux was never meant to belong in Levi Arden’s world—she was raised in wealth, softness, and control, while he exists in violence, instability, and chaos. He’s dangerous, unpredictable, and slowly rising through the underground world that rewards his worst impulses. She’s emotional, warm, and stubborn enough to keep letting him back into her life. He disappears for days. Returns covered in blood. Shows up at her window like it’s routine. And somehow, she still opens the door. What begins as attachment turns into dependence on both sides—Levi relying on her as his only restraint, and Alessia becoming addicted to being the one person who can pull him back from the edge. But the deeper she stays, the thinner his control becomes, and the more dangerous his love grows. Because Levi doesn’t love gently. He loves like something breaking.
Evelyn has spent her whole life avoiding people who come with chaos, control, and complications. Independent, guarded, and uninterested in relationships, she keeps her world small and predictable.

In a penthouse full of noise and people, they become the only two who feel the silence between every glance.
