Like most people, Lauren had a celebrity crush. Unlike most people, she got to meet hers - Axel James, THE Axel James, one of the most sought-after male models of all time and a prince charming on the big screen. But as it turns out, he's a complete jerk. Talk about never meeting your heroes. Statistically, the chances of running into someone you've only seen once in your life are slim, especially if they're not part of your social circle. But there Lauren was, on her first day at her new job, being called to an initiation. The rules are simple: ask out the next guy who'll enter the room. If he is married, ask the next one. If he is in a relationship, grab a coffee with him. Maximum twenty minutes. If he is single, five dates. And last, but most important, he must be willing to go on a date with you. Little did she know that Axel James would be the one who'll walk through that damned door next - he is single, and he is absolutely willing.

She has it all except his heart. She had done both amazing and ridiculous things but was still treated as a wallflower. She's been a good wife. But now, she can no longer be. __________________ Natalia Zimmer had been married to Devon Yushkova for years. In those season, she told herself being a good wife was enough. Then everything shifted. Her buttons were pushed at every corner, letting her heart be broken beyond repair. Suddenly, a domineering man, whom she didn't imagine, crossed her path. A stranger who finally saw her. New revelations. New life. Second chance. _________________ **SLOW BURN and roller-coaster plot** **This is my original story. ***I do not own all the pictures that were attached to this book.

At 16 years old, Marinette prepares for the chance of a lifetime. Internships, closer to defeating Hawkmoth, overcoming the awkwardness between her and her crush... but when her parents decide to leave for a baking contest in the states, she's told she can't live in Paris on her own. Determined to find a place to stay for the time being, Marinette comes across the only other option. Living with your crush seems exciting- I mean, it's a chance to get closer to him, right? But instead, what lies ahead is a road of rumors, lies, danger, confusion, awkward teenagers, and quite a few secrets that begin to turn both Adrien and Marinette's lives upside down. While fighting for both of their identities, both are busy with their lingering emotions. Will either of them be able to confess how they really feel to one another before the year is up? Or will they forever remain oblivious to each other's identities and feelings? (previously #1 in miraculous and miraculousladybug)
