When Clara Came

She was just trying to survive. He wasn't looking for love. But when their worlds collide on a rain-soaked Paris street, nothing will ever be the same.

Beatriz Serpa has spent four years building a quiet life in the shadows — working long hours at a Montmartre bakery, stretching every euro to keep a roof over her daughter's head, and hiding from a past that could destroy them both. She fled Lisbon with a secret: her little girl, Clarinha, was never supposed to exist. And the man who fathered her believes she never did.

Leonardo Vasconcelos is a billionaire CEO who has everything — power, influence, a penthouse overlooking the Seine — and nothing that matters. His world is boardrooms, billion-dollar deals, and a family legacy that demands he marry for status, not love. Until a near-accident on a rainy afternoon brings a fierce, stubborn single mother crashing into his perfectly ordered life.

When Leonardo discovers the dangerous truth Beatriz has been running from, he offers her an arrangement: a contract. She'll pose as his partner to silence his father's demands for an arranged marriage. In return, he'll give her and Clarinha protection, a home, and a future no one can threaten.

But contracts have a way of becoming complicated — especially when a little girl starts calling you "Daddy," when the line between pretending and feeling disappears, and when the man Beatriz fled from resurfaces with the power and the motive to take everything she loves.

The Quarterback’s Secret Rose

Ava Harper came to Atlantic Lakes University to keep her head down, keep her scholarship, and stop needing people who always found someone easier to love. Then Austin Coleman, the Lions’ untouchable star quarterback, sees her run from a balcony kiss and decides the quiet girl in the borrowed dress is the only girl he wants.
Austin has money, fame, a stadium full of girls screaming his name, and a reputation for never keeping a girlfriend longer than a month. Ava has a work apron, a rent spreadsheet, a broken place where her family should be, and no intention of becoming his next campus story.
But Austin keeps showing up. He walks her home after a bad shift. He refuses an ex in front of the whole team. He plays for her praise, gives her his jacket, and waits for the day she chooses him loudly enough for everyone to hear.
When Ava finally becomes the quarterback’s secret girlfriend, the whole campus starts hunting for the girl who changed him. But secrets do not stay hidden under stadium lights, and Austin’s old rival knows exactly where to strike: the girl Austin would risk everything to protect.
A public kiss can start a legend. A championship ring can become a promise. But when the one-month mark arrives and Austin goes silent, Ava has to decide whether love is still a place people leave, or whether this time, the champion is running straight back to her.

Taming Blackridge's Bad Boy

Vivian Carter only wanted one thing from Blackridge University's football program: a student assistant position that could launch her sports management career. Then Coach Wilson gives her a trial assignment that sounds impossible: bring Ethan Lawrence, Blackridge's ruthless transfer star, back to practice.
Ethan is everything Vivian should avoid. A former five-star recruit, a campus obsession, and a man who looks more dangerous under studio lights than any warning label could cover, he has no interest in being managed by a freshman with a clipboard. But Vivian keeps showing up. She waits through humiliation, learns how to care for his battered body, and sees the truth everyone else misses: Ethan never stopped caring about football. He just stopped trusting anyone with it.
The more Ethan pushes her away, the more he finds himself chasing her. One secret phone number becomes one reckless kiss, then a hidden relationship neither of them can keep hidden for long. Vivian's job, Ethan's comeback, team rules, jealous rivals, and the whole campus are waiting to tear into them.
But when the untamable star finally chooses someone, he does it in front of everyone.
And Ethan Lawrence doesn't plan to lose the girl who brought him back to the field.
