Louis Tomlinson is powerful, ruthless, and cold-a man who built walls so high that no one dared to climb them. But when he started a no-strings-attached arrangement with Velvet's most captivating stripper, he had no idea that the man in his bed was also his annoyingly charming but irritating secretary, Harry Styles. Whom Louis is determined to hate with his life.A battle of dominance turns into something neither can resist. Harry is determined to melt Louis's icy walls, while Louis fears letting love in. As tension turns to stolen touches and heated nights, secrets unravel, scars surface, and their pasts threaten to tear them apart. But when love is both intoxicating and dangerous, will Louis take the fall-and will Harry be there to catch him? A story of lust and longing, of heartbreak and healing.

"This seat taken?" "Only by my will to live. But go ahead." A charming barista. A closed-off businessman. And a parrot who ruins every quiet moment - or saves it. One thing was certain, love was never going to be quiet.

Harry embarks on a backpacking trip in West Virginia to figure his life out after breaking up with his boyfriend. He meets Louis along the way.

It's not like he and Louis were a couple. No, they might have been a lot of things-best mates and colleagues with a seemingly convenient friends-with-benefits arrangement-but never a couple. It wasn't Louis' fault he didn't feel the same way and couldn't reciprocate Harry's feelings in the way he'd wanted, the way he'd needed. Harry had allowed himself to get in too deep, his entire being aching to be loved back by the object of his affections. But in love, as in life, you don't always get what you want. OR the one where you don't always get what you want the first time around, but sometimes the universe decides to give you a second chance at getting it right.

Louis lives with his nine-year-old son Jake in a peaceful beachside community on the east coast of Australia, working as an entertainment coordinator at the local five-star resort. Harry is a recluse who lives on millionaires row and writes musical scores for blockbuster movies. When the roots of a wayward willow tree create havoc at his home, Harry is forced to stay at the resort while repairs are carried out. Cue matchmaking storms, muffin preferences, laughter, love, and a whole lotta music. Notes: This work contains explicit sexual content.

Louis loves music. He loves to listen to music, to promote musicians on his radio show, and more than anything, he loves to talk about music. What he hadn't expected was to be sitting trapped, on air, in his studio with a stranger who it turns out is just as passionate about music as Louis is. Or the one where Louis doesn't have a type, no matter what Niall says, but if he did, it'd probably be the guy currently trapped in his radio studio and grinning back at him from across the desk.

"Sure you don't wanna do this? It's fifty pounds a throw, my man." The alpha winked as Louis froze before turning slowly back to face him. The twinkle in Liam's eyes meant that he knew Louis had taken the bait. "Fifty pounds?" Louis exhaled as Liam nodded, holding the water balloon further out. The smaller alpha swallowed thickly. "Why didn't you say so?" In which a missed water balloon throw might have led Alpha Louis to the world's most difficult omega.
