When Ana confronts her new neighbour after being kept up all night by his sex noises, she's mortified to discover he's none other than Freddie-the police officer who arrested her abusive ex-boyfriend last month. The pair interact only when necessary and do so with light-hearted insults and harmless pranks. But when a baby shows up on his doorstep with a note claiming to be his, Freddie suddenly needs his neighbour for more than just a casual flirt. They think their relationship is platonic, but when their attraction is no longer avoidable, they come up with one rule. Don't kiss. Everything else is up for grabs and if Ana can stick to that one rule, her heart will remain unbroken. She has no desire to fall in love and Freddie simply doesn't have time. They think it's the perfect agreement but when feelings intensify, it becomes clear their plan is failing. Secrets are unveiled. Hearts get broken. Love gets complicated.

They had been married for seven years, and Seraphina believed their love was strong enough to survive anything. Until she walked into Dominic's office and found him with Natalia, his assistant. Natalia stepped closer, and Dominic's hand settled around her waist. He didn't move away. Instead, he pulled her closer, allowing their lips to meet in a slow, deliberate kiss. But the kiss wasn't what broke Seraphina. It was the moment before it, when Dominic could have stepped back but chose not to. The way his hand tightened around Natalia's waist made Seraphina realise that he hadn't simply let the moment happen. He had allowed it. Dominic pulled away only when he noticed his wife standing silently in the doorway. Seraphina said nothing. She simply walked away, leaving behind the marriage she had trusted and the man she had loved. Now Dominic must face the consequences of his choice, while Seraphina must decide whether a love built over seven years deserves a second chance-or whether some betrayals are too deep to forgive.
