Asher Leo Rhodes doesn't do love. At twenty-eight, the successful New York lawyer lives by strict rules: no repeats, no attachments, no one staying the night. Desire is something he consumes—never something that consumes him. Until him. One swipe. One night. One man who doesn't ask for promises—but somehow makes Asher want to break every rule he's ever lived by. Asher is bisexual, unapologetic, and emotionally guarded to the core. He's built his life around control—casual hookups, clean exits, and zero vulnerability. But what begins as another no-strings encounter turns into something dangerously unfamiliar: connection. Because this time, the want doesn't disappear in the morning. And the man he can't stop thinking about refuses to be just another appetite.

By weekend, she’s a thrill seeker pushing her limits—training relentlessly for her first triathlon. But nothing prepares her for being torn from her world and thrown into Bestia, a savage realm where beasts rule and predators wear human skin.

Why'd I have to be born the oldest? ​Nazma stared blankly at her wardrobe, all alone on a bed that felt way too cold for someone her age. While other girls her age were stressing about homework and first crushes, Nazma had to carry a weight much heavier: the survival of her family and the silence of her own heart. ​“God… if I get born again, can I please be the second kid?” ​She desperately wanted to know what it felt like to have a big brother. Someone to stand out front, not behind. Someone to protect her. Someone to lead the way—so she wouldn't have to be strong all by herself every single day. ​But in the real world, she is the firstborn. The one who must lead. The one who must endure. And when she finally finds the courage to speak up against the world's unfairness, she realizes the harshest truth of all: ​It is a story of a girl's voice in a world that refuses to listen. ​Between the dusty halls of village meetings and the secret screams on her digital screen, Nazma navigates the messy layers of angst, broken friendships, and the suffocating social order. She is tired of being "the strong one." She is ready to be heard—even if she has to disappear from the circulation of their "normal" world to do it.

Tamara Rigby became the wife of the most feared man in the city without ever being truly seen. Rafael Tanque — the king of the underground, the man who rules blood, money, and loyalty with an iron hand — cannot recognize faces. Not hers. Not his enemies’. Not even the woman he married. To the world, Tamara is the beautiful mafia bride standing beside Rafael Tanque. To Rafael, she is a voice. A scent. A presence he cannot escape. And that terrifies him more than any gun ever could. When a brutal ambush nearly kills Rafael, something inside his damaged mind fractures. The condition he has hidden for years — his inability to recognize faces — worsens, erasing even the fragile map he had built of his own wife. Tamara becomes a stranger sleeping in his bed… yet somehow, his body, his instincts, and his obsession know she is his. He does not remember her face. But his hands remember how she fits against him. His heartbeat remembers her. His anger burns when she pulls away. Trapped inside a marriage where the man who owns her life cannot even identify her, Tamara must survive a world of betrayal, mafia politics, and a husband whose love is as dangerous as his power. But the real nightmare begins when their child disappears. Kidnapped from under the Tanque empire itself, the missing baby becomes the ultimate weapon. Enemies move in the shadows, manipulating Rafael’s blindness and Tamara’s desperation, forcing them into a deadly game where every memory, every touch, and every secret could either save their family — or destroy it. Tamara refuses to be just a silent mafia wife. She becomes ruthless. She becomes cunning. She becomes willing to burn the entire criminal world if that is what it takes to get her child back. Rafael, consumed by obsession, guilt, and a twisted form of devotion he cannot fully understand, grows more possessive the more he fears losing her. He cannot see her face — but he will kill anyone who dares to touch what belongs to him. In a city where loyalty is bought, love is a weakness, and blood is the only truth, a woman without a recognized face and a man who cannot see must fight their own past, their enemies, and each other to keep what little family they have left. Because in Rafael Tanque’s world… Even love can become a weapon.

Elira never wanted grand gestures or dramatic promises. She only wanted Rowan to stay. Rowan was calm, distant, and emotionally unavailable. He cared for Elira in quiet ways—shared walks, late conversations, and words that almost became confessions. But every time things began to feel real, he pulled away, choosing silence over honesty. Elira noticed everything. The distance. The unfinished sentences. The way loving him meant learning how to wait. When Rowan finally realizes how deeply Elira matters to him, she is no longer standing where he left her. Timing becomes their greatest enemy, and love turns into regret. He Loved Her Too Late is a slow-burn, emotional romance about missed chances, unspoken feelings, and the quiet pain of loving someone who realizes your worth only when it’s already too late.
