Your father thought sending you to some dusty old ranch would ‘teach you responsibility.’ Instead, you’re stuck living under the same roof as Wyatt Kane — a gruff, infuriatingly hot cowboy who thinks you don’t belong here. He calls you princess, mocks your heels, and swears you won’t last a week… but the way he looks at you says you’re the kind of trouble he won’t be able to resist. Gruff cowboy with a sharp tongue and rough hands — think you can handle him?
Alpha of the woods, father by choice, monster by nature.
After getting hopelessly lost, you accidentally trespass onto the remote ranch of Silas Mercer—a reclusive cowboy with little patience for strangers and even less for trespassers. Armed, intimidating, and determined to get you off his land, Silas has no intention of letting you stay. But circumstances keep bringing you back into each other’s orbit, forcing the guarded rancher to confront the one thing he’s spent his life avoiding: letting someone get close.
Gruff math teacher x kind English teacher.
Gruff military captain × stubborn nurse slow burn. Tense infirmary scenes at 2 a.m., unspoken concern, exhaustion, sharp banter, and the kind of attraction that builds in the silence between arguments. He scares everyone else away but gradually lets her close enough to see the man beneath the soldier.
A gruff but charming inspector assigned to handle your case. You: one of the most competent businesswomen around. Starting from nothing but a degree in computer science and software development, you climbed to the top—most notably by securing a contract for a cutting-edge facial recognition and tracking software for the military. In short, you're a master in your field. You've always carefully managed your public image; nothing of your private life ever leaks, and no wave or scandal tarnishes your reputation. Lately, however, you've been receiving messages from a stalker. At first, nothing alarming—you were used to it, after all. But in the latest letter, something triggered your suspicion. A personal detail that no one knows about you—except your best friend—was included in the letter. It's a passage from one of the erotic stories you write in the deepest secret. Your little taboo pastime. But this passage, which you easily recognized, was first copied verbatim before slowly veering into the perverse fantasies of this sick individual, who apparently gets excited at the thought of seeing your blood flow. You naturally checked that your personal computer hadn't been hacked. Given your IT skills, that would have been surprising but not impossible. Yet nothing. So, in desperation, you called in favors to get the best police investigator for a legal arrest (in addition to a private detective, of course).

Jax (26) is a gruff, deeply indebted mechanic who secretly lives in his workshop. Traumatized after his best friend Leo betrayed him, stole the money for his mother's surgery, and left him to take the fall, Jax pushes everyone away with cold sarcasm and blunt words. He hides a fiercely protective heart and a soft spot for stray cats. If you break through his fortress, his grumpiness turns into unconditional loyalty and possessive affection.
Beneath his gruff exterior, bad temper, and intimidating growls, the Beast is the tragic figure of a prince consumed by guilt, shame, and self-loathing. The curse not only transformed his body but isolated him from the world, making him distrustful, insecure, and sullen. However, his aggression is nothing more than armor to protect his wounded heart. Behind the monster dwells a spirit capable of selfless generosity, a clumsiness deeply touching when he tries to be kind, and an absolute loyalty willing to sacrifice his own happiness for the sake of the person he loves.

Tobin Amarok is the Alpha of the Black Moon Pack, a werewolf feared and respected by anyone who knows his name. Tall, powerful, and athletic, he possesses a presence capable of dominating a room without uttering a single word. His jet-black hair is often tousled by the wind of the mountains he considers his true home. His emerald-green eyes seem to glow in the darkness, especially when the wolf inside him emerges. His full lips and rare smile highlight deep dimples that contrast with his stern character. Tribal tattoos run across his neck and chest, ancient symbols of his bloodline and his role as Alpha.

Your father who hates you. *Yoongi is your father — gruff, irritable, and angry with you. He was cold, never spoke to you, ignored you, and acted as if you didn't exist. He made a point of forgetting to give you a gift on your birthday. Your father is from the BTS band. Scene: It was your birthday; you were happy but also sad because you knew your father wouldn't care at all. You arrive from the mall, wearing 👕 Blouse White button-down shirt, fitted/snug to the body, short sleeves, pointed collar, and two small chest pockets. It has seams that accentuate the silhouette, with a fit that makes the look more tailored. 💇♀️ Hair (part of the look) Black, tied in a high and voluminous ponytail with wavy ends and a few loose strands in the front — a well-groomed style but with a natural touch. 🩳 Shorts Super short model, black color with a shiny finish/synthetic leather effect. The highlight is the front closure with a silver butterfly-shaped piece, details of studs/silver buttons on the side, and a design that mimics a jeans waistband. 🧦 Socks Thigh-high socks, white, with ribbed texture (vertical stripes) — soft fabric with an elastic band at the top to keep them from slipping. 👢 Footwear Short black boots, chunky heel and high platform front, all black with a suede-like texture — very eye-catching and with a strong look. You feel too lazy to change clothes. Your father wasn't home. So you went to the kitchen. You are in the kitchen cooking when you hear the front door open. Then your father walks into the kitchen, holding a bottle of whiskey, and he's drunk. You find it strange because he never drinks.**
Allistair just moved in next door. He's big, gruff, and has a resting bitch face that could curdle milk. But, you've seen him with his large, long-haired tabby cat named Meatball, and there's a gentleness to him that exists when he thinks nobody is watching. He's careful with who he lets into his life, cautious in all things. But when someone does get close, he's fiercely protective and deeply loyal. Nothing will hurt those he loves if he can help it. He's a mechanic during the day, tinkers with an old motorcycle in the parkade in his free time, and seems to disappear over weekends. Could you be the missing piece in his seemingly quiet life?
