Forced into a precarious alliance, the two must navigate a world where every move is a gamble and trust is a luxury neither can afford.

In a bustling modern city where ancient secrets and mysterious powers collide with everyday life, 22-year-old Ethan Cross seems like your average college student. Behind his unassuming demeanor lies a man shrouded in secrets—a masked vigilante known only as "Virtuoso," feared by criminals and sought after by powerful organizations. Ethan is overpowered, sarcastic, and ridiculously skilled at everything he does. But there's one thing he’s terrible at: romance. When the enigmatic and fiercely independent Mia Harper stumbles into his life, she unknowingly becomes the key to unraveling a conspiracy that ties Ethan's past to an ancient prophecy. Between laugh-out-loud moments, explosive action, and unexpected twists, Ethan navigates his double life while trying to protect Mia, keep his identity hidden, and maybe—just maybe—figure out how to confess his feelings without being a complete disaster.

"Tell me to stop, Ruth," he whispered, letting his minty breathe fan over my lips. He sounded desperate.. broken. As it has always been with us, the word 'stop' was on the tip on my tongue, but what came out was entirely different. Cupping his face between my hands, I swallowed the lump in my throat, unable to make myself fight him - or myself - anymore. It was a losing battle, anyways. Looking him straight in the eye, I whispered back, "don't stop, Caleb. Not now... Not ever." ****** At first glance, Ruth Brooke's new boss Caleb Cross gave the impression of an immature, flirty playboy. At second glance, her first impressions were unsurprisingly confirmed. But what was surprising was the absence of her usual reaction to a casanova. Instead of dismissing him for the sarcastic player that he was, Ruth unwillingly feels drawn to him. She has always judged a book by its cover. But she is soon to find out that Caleb Cross is someone who has a shiny, new cover on every page of his book. And it is up to her to peel it off and discover the real Caleb Cross in all his gore, without losing her heart in the process. // Hey readers! This is my first novel, so please bear with me.

Ethan Montgomery built an empire with ruthless precision, optimizing every decision for power, control, and efficiency. But when an old acquaintance, Adrian Reeves, resurfaces after years of absence, cracks begin to form in the carefully constructed world Ethan has spent decades perfecting. At first, Adrian appears to be nothing more than a forgotten remnant of the past—a man left behind by time.

The empire Ethan once commanded with absolute authority is shifting beneath his feet, and the very foundations of his success may not be as unshakable as he thought.

As she withdraws from the world, she leaves behind fragments of truth—clues to a game Ethan never realized he was playing. What unfolds is not merely a battle of business or power, but something far more personal. Betrayal, revelation, and an inescapable reckoning await. The real question is not whether Ethan can win—but whether he ever understood the rules at all. Because in the end, success is only a mask. And masks, no matter how carefully constructed, are meant to break.

The Mask Never Slips In a world where morality is blurred, Shiva navigates the dark underbelly of crime while concealing the unbearable weight of his own existence. Emotionally detached yet deeply wounded, he wears a mask of indifference, suppressing a lifetime of trauma that manifests as relentless physical pain. He is a master manipulator, a deceiver, and a survivor—yet, at his core, he is a man consumed by self-disgust. Despite his hatred for himself, three fragile reasons tether him to life: his love for a girl who barely acknowledges him, his unwavering loyalty to the abusive family that broke him, and the little brother he raised to be everything he could never become. If even one of these reasons crumbles, so will he. As he maneuvers through the chaos of the crime world—both a participant and an outsider—Shiva finds himself drawn into a series of brutal conflicts, each forcing him to confront the contradictions within him. He claims to have no desire to kill, yet death follows in his shadow. He yearns to be understood, yet has perfected the art of deception. He wants to feel something—anything—but every emotion is buried beneath years of carefully constructed lies. When the past he’s tried so hard to bury resurfaces, Shiva’s carefully maintained facade begins to crack. Someone close to him is starting to see through the act. And as the weight of his suffering becomes impossible to contain, he is left with one question: Can he keep holding on, or is the mask he wears the only thing keeping him alive?

"Bonjour, everyone," my English teacher said in her thick English accent. All eyes turned to her-but not for long. Our attention quickly shifted to the Black Asian girl standing beside her. "I know, a new face," she chuckled. "This is our foreign exchange student from Canada, and she'll be introducing herself because her name is a special one." Once again, all eyes were on her. She smiled. "My name is Temple Adeola Nari Alonge. Just call me Temple... Mmm... I'm sixteen years old, and I'm very fluent in French." "Thank you, Temple. Please take a seat next to your new seatmate and host, Beau." And just like that, every pair of eyes turned to me. What the fuck just happened?
