A cold, "mechanical" enforcer for a brutal crime syndicate finds his frozen heart thawed by a chaotic, yapping baker, only to realize that the light he’s finally found has made them both the perfect targets for a monster far more dangerous than himself.Leo is not a man; he is a machine. Known in the grey, rain-slicked streets of Oakhaven as "The Enforcer," he operates with a terrifying, surgical precision for the city's undisputed crime boss, Vane. Thirteen years ago, a traumatic fire cauterized Leo’s emotions, leaving behind a man who treats violence like an audit and his life like a maintenance schedule. He doesn't feel, he doesn't sleep, and he certainly doesn't miss. ​Then comes Ayiesha.A "yapping dynamite" of Lebanese heritage, Ayiesha is a whirlwind of flour-dusted chaos, broken appliances, and endless stories. When Leo "unintentionally" stops at her struggling bakery, he finds himself drawn into her vibrant, nonsensical world. Ayiesha doesn't see a monster; she sees a "Lion" (Asad) who just needs a little sugar and a lot of repairs. From wrestling 50-pound flour sacks in the rain to navigating neon-themed birthday parties and bouncy castles, Ayiesha begins to recalibrate Leo’s internal compass, teaching the "Machine" how to breathe again.The stakes turn lethal when a new kind of monster enters the city—a calculated Serial Killer who doesn't follow the rules of the underworld.

Serena vale  believed love was something you earned through loyalty, sacrifice, and patience… until the night she discovered she was nothing more than a placeholder in someone else’s perfect life. Betrayed by the man she trusted and humiliated by the family she tried so hard to please, Serena makes one reckless decision — she spends one passionate night with a mysterious stranger whose name she never even learns. By morning, he is gone. She tells herself it was just a mistake. A secret she will take to her grave. Until fate brings her face-to-face with him again. Adrian Kingston. The untouchable billionaire heir. The cold future CEO of the Kingston empire. A man known for his ruthless business tactics and his complete lack of interest in love. And now… the man offering her a marriage contract. One year. One agreement. One rule: no emotions. In exchange, he will protect her from the people trying to destroy her life. With nowhere else to turn, Serena agrees. But what starts as a simple business arrangement quickly becomes dangerous when Adrian begins breaking his own rules — watching her too closely, protecting her too fiercely, and getting jealous over things that should not matter. Because behind his cold control lies a man fighting feelings he swore he would never have. And behind their contract lies secrets that could destroy them both. When enemies close in, past betrayals resurface, and hearts begin to break, Serena must decide: Was she just a temporary solution… Or was she the one woman powerful enough to change the man who never believed in love? In a world of power, revenge, secrets, and burning attraction… what was supposed to last one year may become forever.
