"We could just . . . *do it*, you know," he says now, teasingly. "Clear all that sexual tension up with one quick ten minute session?" I seriously hope he's joking, but I'm not certain he is. Either way, I can't prevent the exasperated huff of laughter that escapes my lips at those words. "You must be dreaming if you think there's *any* sexual tension between us," I scoff. "Anyway, I'd rather not be another notch on your bedpost, thanks very much." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ruby Rafferty has won the ultimate prize - a luxury holiday in Crete! In theory, it couldn't be more perfect - endless sun, Greek food, an unlimited free bar . . . There's only one problem. The man she has no choice but to share the prize with. Lewis Sheridan may be ridiculously attractive, but he is also cocky, cynical, and comes complete with his own specific set of red flags. He's everything Ruby has never wanted in a guy, and she's not sure she can survive *one* day alone with him, let alone ten. It's *fine*, though . . . Their suite is massive, the cocktails are flowing, and Ruby can't help but notice how handsome and charming the hotel manager is. If only he didn't think she and Lewis were already a couple . . . Will forced proximity push our vacationers closer or further apart? Can enemies really become lovers? And what will happen if anyone realises they're technically on holiday under false pretences? I guess we're about to find out . . . Cover by @jspromcoms

"Sometimes, destiny doesn't unite two hearts because they need love... it does so because two little souls need a family." An arranged marriage. A love that once felt forever. A betrayal that shattered everything. Y/N believed she had found her happily ever after with Vivan Thakur. But when trust was broken, she chose to walk away-not because she stopped loving him, but because some choices leave wounds that apologies can never heal. Taking the custody of her little son, Daksh, she left India behind and moved to Seoul, determined to build a new life for the only person who mattered now. Far away from her past... Far away from the pain... She never expected fate to have other plans. Kim Taehyung. A world-renowned solo artist. A devoted single father. A man carrying scars of his own. Their worlds were never supposed to collide. One was a celebrity. The other, a fan who had admired him from afar for years. One carried a daughter longing for a mother's warmth. The other raised a son who secretly wished for a father's embrace. What happens when two innocent children decide that sharing their parents is the easiest solution? "You call my Appa papa ... and I'll call your eomma Mammi." Maybe destiny doesn't always knock. Sometimes... It walks into your life through the laughter of two little children.
