An ocean between them didn't kill what they had. It just put it on ice.
The first time Mia Conti saw Elias Weston, she didn't even know his name. He was just the stranger at the airport who lifted her suitcase without a word.
She never expected to see him again—until she walked into the Toronto Raiders' locker room as their new medical intern. Face-to-face with the league's most untouchable, arrogant superstar, Mia realized her "helpful stranger" was actually her biggest professional nightmare.
A fiery romance ignites between them, but keeping it alive across oceans and time zones is a different game.
As the Chief Sports Medicine Specialist for the Winter Olympics, Mia is busier than ever. Her absence from his games has the media convinced their relationship is dead, painting Elias as a billionaire bachelor who has long moved on.
But the tabloids don't see what happens behind closed doors.
When Elias arrives in Milan, the world expects a hockey captain strictly focused on gold. Yet, the second they are alone, his hand closes around her waist with a grip of steel.
"Long time no see, Mia."
The flashbulbs are still going off, but all she can hear is his jagged whisper.
"I came back for you."
Elias Weston has never been afraid of thin ice. And this time, he's ready to let it all crack just to keep her.
I woke up as the Villainess, but instead of a halo, I got a Scythe.
However, my power has attracted the world's most dangerous monsters: A possessive Werewolf, a bloodthirsty Vampire, a Tentacle-wielding Professor, and a Biblically Accurate Angel with a thousand eyes. They think I'm their prey to be tamed, but they forgot one thing: I am Death itself.
Three years into her marriage, Claire finally asks for a divorce.
She admits it—she got the better end of the deal. From nothing to something, she's the one who leveled up.
And that's exactly why Ethan has been cold, distant, almost wishing she'd just walk away.
She's human, not iron. This loveless marriage has left her drained, and the idea of ending it should feel freeing—but then he starts showing up.
Every day, sharp, confident, strutting around like he owns the place. Clattering in the kitchen, attempting to cook. Even bringing home a Samoyed puppy she's always adored.
Claire watches, equal parts exasperated and fascinated. Every time the divorce seems inevitable, he finds an excuse—sick, busy, a last-minute trip.
Everyone assumes his heart belongs to someone else. But all along, it's been hers.
A stubborn, prideful man, completely undone by the one woman he can't let go.
