—AOT— One study group. Too many secrets. Between late nights, buried feelings, and lines that were never meant to be crossed, Y/N has to decide who to trust—and who to fall for. Choose your connection. Choose your story.
He has everything money can buy—power, success, influence, and a reputation that makes people think twice before crossing him. Then he meets her. She doesn’t care about his money. She isn’t intimidated by his reputation. And somehow, the man who can control an entire empire can’t control himself around her. Adrian Vale doesn’t do casual. He doesn’t do halfway. And once he falls, he falls hard. She’s become his favorite distraction, his greatest weakness, and the one person he can’t imagine losing. But loving her means wanting something he can’t buy or force: her choice. And Adrian is about to learn just how dangerous a man can become when the only thing he wants is the one thing he can’t control. He can have anything. He just wants her.
He came home expecting the same small town he left behind. Instead, Crew Hayes finds Y/N drowning her heartbreak at the bottom of a bottle. Everyone knows her drinking problem—but Crew is about to discover the woman underneath it, and she might become the one thing he can’t walk away from.
