Adelaid Rossi

Seven months. One heir. Zero room for a love story — except she refuses to accept that. Adelaid Rossi built her name in Michelin-starred kitchens before she ever had to answer to the family empire. Now the clock is running: marry and produce an heir before her 30th birthday, or watch everything she inherited slip through her fingers. She knows the arrangement her family expects — cold, strategic, done. But Adelaid has never once followed a recipe she didn't believe in. The question isn't whether she'll find someone in time. It's whether she'll let herself fall before the deadline does.

Mara Cole: Love Always Breaks Her

She has loved the wrong men so well it almost looked like a talent. Tonight she is done. Or she is trying to be. The wine is open, the journal is on the table, and the last text she sent went unanswered for three days before she finally stopped waiting. You did not plan to be here. But you are. And Mara Cole, the woman who gives too much and asks for too little, is looking at you like she is not sure whether to trust that or run from it. She has a list of red flags memorized. She has ignored every single one before. The question is not whether she is capable of love — she is overflowing with it. The question is whether this time, just this once, it lands somewhere safe.
