If You Don't Want Me, I Won't Stay

She died in her world. She woke up inside a story. And this time, she's rewriting the ending.

Valeria was a quiet, sharp-minded stock analyst who kept the world at arm's length. She wrote stories in secret, loved coffee more than people, and had just kicked out a cheating boyfriend without shedding a single tear. Life was orderly. Predictable. Safe.

Then a freak electrical accident killed her.

She wakes up as Valery Johnson — the tragic heroine of an audiobook she'd been listening to the moment she died. An orphan taken in by the wealthy Field family. A girl who spent her entire life hopelessly in love with her adoptive brother Eric — a man who never saw her as anything more than a duty to protect.

But Valeria isn't Valery.

She has no intention of pining for a man who doesn't love her. No interest in competing with his cruel fiancee. No desire to play the role of the quiet, suffering girl the story demands.

So she does what the original Valery never could.

She leaves.

With nothing but a small inheritance and a sharp mind, she starts over in a distant port town — where she finds work, independence, a boat of her own, and a man named Christian Casaux whose gentle patience and quiet strength make her believe that love doesn't have to hurt.

But Eric Field isn't the kind of man who lets go.

And when he discovers where she's gone, he'll cross the entire kingdom to drag her back — whether she wants to come or not.

The Mafioso's Unexpected Family

Ekaterina is eighteen, broke, and desperate. Her five-year-old sister Lisbela needs heart surgery they can't afford, and their alcoholic father is worse than useless. So when Ivan Orlov offers her money to distract a man at a bar, she says yes — even though every instinct tells her not to.

The man is Viktor Morozov. Heir to one of Russia's most powerful mafia families. Dangerously handsome. Ruthlessly cold.

One night with him changes everything.

When Viktor discovers the seduction was a setup, he discards Ekaterina without a second thought — throwing money at her like she's nothing. He doesn't know she was a virgin. He doesn't know he forgot the condom. And he doesn't know she walked away without taking a single ruble.

Three months later, their worlds collide again at a Morozov family event. Ekaterina is visibly pregnant, working a catering job to survive. Viktor sees the belly and denies the child on the spot — publicly, cruelly, in front of his own mother.

But his mother, Alina, isn't fooled. She shows up at Ekaterina's crumbling house the next day and finds empty cupboards, a sick little girl, and a young woman too proud to ask for help. Alina quietly takes Ekaterina under her wing — doctor's appointments, groceries, phone calls every morning — while her son spirals between denial and obsession.

Because Viktor can't stop watching. Can't stop following her car. Can't stop thinking about the blood on the sheets and the one missing condom. When his father drops a dossier on his desk proving Ekaterina is exactly who she seemed — a girl with nothing who sold her dignity to save her sister — Viktor is forced to face what he's done.

He shows up at her door. Admits the baby is his. Promises to be present.

Ekaterina slams the door in his face.

What follows is a slow, agonizing burn as Viktor fights to earn the trust of a woman he shattered. He learns to be patient. To show up without being asked. To carry Lisbela when she falls asleep in the car and stock a fridge without being thanked. He goes from a man who denied his unborn child to one who'd burn the world down to protect the family he almost lost.

But the Morozov world doesn't pause for redemption arcs. Old enemies resurface. Ekaterina's abusive father returns to claim custody of Lisbela. Viktor's brutal past threatens to swallow the fragile peace they've built. And Ekaterina must decide whether the man who once destroyed her is the same one now willing to destroy everything else to keep her safe.
