I have found an ideal life. I have a loving husband, no work and no danger. This is exactly what I wanted when I ran away and changed my identity. But I just didn't think that I would have a thirst to be in danger. Next to him. Especially next to him. And sometimes our desires come back into our lives with a nasty cry, "I'm back from your past." I am crazy because I knew that he will find me and I love it.

The two are more than fine with never crossing paths, again. Until Maggie damages his property as payback for a crime Luke never committed. Now, Luke is looking for a debt to be paid in exchange for not pressing charges against her. Feelings clash. Truths, lies, and snakes of the past come back to bite with vengeance, and even through their witty ways, the two enemies find themselves willing to sacrifice everything in order to fight and protect the other, despite one undeniable fact... That it all started with hate. | completed : June 28, 2023 |

Inez Charleen is a 24 year old photographer in the making who, until recently, had only been working for small commercial deals within the company, Photopro Studios. She earned minimum wage, lived in a shitty apartment on the outskirts of town and didn't have any experience in the world of fashion. That was until she got accepted into Astreaus' fashion brands photography internship. 6 months in central New York learning from the best, attending big events and recording everything from fashion show to photo shoots. It sounded perfect on paper but reality hit her hard on the head when she found out her sworn enemy and egotistical colleague, Nick Raynott, had also earned a place on the internship.

His first was to annoy the hell out of Inez Charleen. He didn't like her, she didn't like him. However when fate pulls them closer together (down the hall from each other to be exact), they have to learn to accept each others presence... or at least tolerate it. Will living together fix a bond that was never broken to begin with? Will the forced proximity force secrets out of one another. And will the fight for the final spot on the main team corrupt them and any affection they have for one another...
