Freya and MK have always been a package deal. Not because they're the same, because they're not. MK is loud, protective, sarcastic, and the kind of brother who acts like nothing bothers him even when everything does. Freya is quieter, sharper than people expect, and used to living in the shadow of MK's huge personality. He's her brother, her built-in best friend, and the one person who has always made it clear that nobody messes with her. Especially not his best friend. Malachi has been in MK's life for years. Sleepovers, family dinners, late-night drives, stupid inside jokes, holidays where he basically becomes part of the furniture. He's not just MK's best friend anymore; he's practically family. Which is exactly why MK made one rule from the beginning. "Do not date my sister." At first, Malachi laughed it off. Freya rolled her eyes. MK acted like he was joking. But everyone knew he wasn't. Because MK knows Malachi better than anyone. He knows the flirty comments, the smirks, the reputation, the way Malachi can make someone feel like they're the only person in the room. And even though MK trusts him with almost everything, Freya is the one thing he refuses to risk. So the rule stays.

Joanna Brooks had her life all planned. She'd have graduated in time, got a great job, had a successful career. In the middle there would have been a relationship or two maybe, but by the age of 25, she'd have been happily in a stable relationship, working for a well known newspaper as journalist. She'd have never guessed, when she was 12, that none of these plans would work out. 28 years old, stuck with a crappy job and no love life whatsoever. Future seemed as bleakas ever. With two new kittens, Joanna was readying herself to start her life as crazy cat lady...but her new neighbor, handsome and lovely photographer Ben Harris, doesn't seem to think it that way, as he gets ready to revolutionize her whole existence. Trouble is, his own life is not as crystal clear as he pretends it is. Add two pervasive friends determined to close the chapter in Joanna's life called "virginity" by hooking her up with their cute brother, plus an unsettling return, and you get Joanna's adventure of a lifetime. DISCLAIMER This story is intended for all those girls that have troubles seeing themselves as the beautiful beings they are. This is for you, beautiful girls. Be yourself. Don't be ashamed of you are. Just embrace your own unique nature. Be chubby, skinny, shy, introvert, extrovert, weird, crazy, lovely...whatever it is, just BE YOURSELF.

The world knows Nikolas Van der Meer. The billionaire heir. The future of an empire. The man whose name opens doors and ruins lives. Everyone knows his reputation. No one knows the man behind it. Until Nina Belinski. One reckless night pulls her into the middle of a family war, public scandals, ruthless power plays, and a man far more dangerous than the headlines suggest. Because the version of Nikolas Van der Meer the world fears... isn't the version that keeps her awake at night.
