Now Graham wants Peter close, but refuses to call it love. He offers tenderness in private, then takes it back by morning. And when Peter discovers a side of Graham reserved for another man, their carefully maintained arrangement begins to unravel. Peter wants more than stolen moments. Graham would rather lose control of anything than admit who already has his heart. They built a home around the promise that they would never fall in love. Neither knows what to do now that the promise is broken.

Then she meets Daniel Brooks—a widowed former firefighter who sees her in a way no one has for years.

Neither expected their lives to collide at 30,000 feet… When exhausted tech CEO Evelyn Harrington accidentally falls asleep on a stranger’s shoulder mid-flight, she braces for humiliation.

A small act of compassion leads to a choice that will change three lives forever.

Ghost survived black sites, torture, overseas wars, and six years of becoming something less human and more useful. Founder of BLACK VEIL. Mercenary captain. A ghost story in tactical gear. The kind of man people called when they needed a building cleared, a body retrieved, or a problem buried so deep it stopped having a name. He was silent, brutal, untouchable. Even his own men feared him. As for someone like that— Nyra Quinn, underground mechanic and illegal street racer, had one very professional opinion: “He looks like he buries people in wet cement for stress relief.” Then one day, Ghost watched her steal a motorcycle outside a bank and chase down a robber through downtown LA traffic like she’s starring in her own action movie. He’s in the middle of a sniper assignment when it happened. One second he’s calculating wind direction. The next? Nyra tackled the guy off a bike, draged him into an alley, and started beating him with her helmet... He forgot his target existed for six seconds. For the first time in eight years. ... Later, Nyra worked under the hood of BLACK VEIL’s armored SUV while six armed mercenaries stood around like emotionally constipated furniture. She didn’t look up. > “Does your boss come with a user manual, or is the mask supposed to explain the whole personality disorder?” The garage went silent. Because no one talked about Ghost. Not like that. Not in front of him. Ghost stood beside the vehicle, skull mask turned toward her. After a long pause, he said, > “Nyra.” She rolled out from under the engine with a wrench in her hand. > “What?” His grey eyes lowered to the grease on her cheek. Then to her mouth. Then back to her eyes. > “Come here.” Nyra narrowed her eyes. > “If this is a murder thing, I’m charging extra.” Ghost’s voice dropped lower. Rougher. > “I lost focus on a job today.” Nyra blinked. > “Congratulations on having a human experience?” His men stopped breathing. Ghost didn’t move. > “Because of you.” Nyra stared at him. The wrench slipped slightly in her hand. Across the garage, Kane muttered, > “We’re all completely fucked.” ① Emotionally repressed masked mercenary captain × sunshine chaos mechanic ② He kills people for touching him. She touches his mask and asks if he’s hiding scars or feelings under there. ③ Slow burn / touch-starved antihero / found family mercenaries / black humor / “she makes the monster hesitate.”

James, a widowed single dad barely holding it together, made a quiet joke at his CEO's birthday party: “Maybe I should just marry her and solve all my problems.” He never expected Katherine Morrison—brilliant, intimidating, untouchable—to hear it.

I spent three years chasing Grant Whitmore. Three days after he finally agreed to date me, he woke up in a hospital bed and asked who I was. I knew he was lying. So I smiled, introduced myself as his assistant, and handed in my resignation. My recovery plan was simple: return to the bar I half owned, wear something devastating, and stop organizing my life around a man who couldn’t admit he wanted me. Then Noah Ellis needed a place to stay. The younger dancer was sweet, handsome, and very good at making breakfast. Giving him the guest room seemed harmless. Until a dance lesson ended with his hands on my hips and a question I desperately wanted to answer. Now my ex wants another chance, my houseguest wants to kiss me, and I’m beginning to suspect the shy one has been pursuing me all along.

Jamie Bennett had a perfectly good plan: embarrass himself at the engagement party, let his childhood rival reject him, and escape their families’ matchmaking. Adrian Hayes agreed. Then he stood up, applauded, and announced he’d fallen in love. Now Jamie is married to the most infuriating man he knows, with a two-year agreement and one very clear warning: don’t expect love. Fine. Jamie can handle that. What he can’t explain is why his supposedly indifferent husband remembers his favorite dessert, finds increasingly flimsy reasons to linger beside him, and arrives at a party he claimed he was too busy to attend. Then a handsome young musician takes an interest in Jamie. And Adrian’s performance as a husband who doesn’t care begins falling spectacularly apart.

Then she recognizes the silver medal beneath his collar. Her late father left something for Ethan.
