Gracelyn Pearce: The last two things I expect to happen on my twenty-fifth birthday are to catch my (now ex) bodyguard for stealing and then find out my stepdad's been arrested for fraud. To top it off, my (also now ex) boyfriend breaks up with me following my stepdad's scandal. My mother hires me a new bodyguard-who happens to be the same man I randomly roped in to be the driver of my getaway car during an attempt to escape the paparazzi. Yep. Go me. Sure, he's attractive, but what good is an attractive face if his personality is like that of a grumpy bear who's just been woken up from hibernation? Ioannis Dimitriou: I wasn't keen on taking on another celebrity assignment. So when I agreed to be billionaire heiress and actress Gracelyn Pearce's new bodyguard, I should have known that it would be a recipe for disaster-she's stubborn, she's infuriating as she is breathtaking, and above all, she's very much off limits. Yet the more time I spend with her, the more I find myself unable to resist the woman who's meant to be nothing more than my client. I want her. I crave for her. Even if I can't have her. And when a mysterious stalker enters Gracelyn's life, I'll do anything to protect the woman I've fallen so hard for.

STILL IN PROGRESS Cooper and Cameron came from two completely different worlds yet shared the same internal struggles. He was a reserved, lonely man who masked his emptiness with a string of fleeting relationships, while she, freshly out of a broken engagement, filled her life with friends to avoid facing her own pain. Cameron despised his cryptic demeanor and invasive curiosity, while Cooper couldn't stand her stubborn streak and tendency to run away when things got complicated. Despite their differences-age, lifestyles, and entanglements with others-the magnetic pull between them was impossible to ignore. They saw through each other's facades, uncovering truths neither had shared with anyone else. As their lives began to intertwine, the question loomed: could they close the gap between them and give in to what they both felt deep down? Or would fear, pride, and unresolved emotions keep them at arm's length, pushing them into the arms of others instead?
