WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION Everest is the most popular boy in school. He's handsome, wealthy, and captain of the football team-he has the world at his fingertips, but he's desperately unhappy. And when those feelings become too much to bear, he tries to take his own life. On the surface, Beverly's different from Everest in every possible way. She's quiet, shy, hard working, and keeps to herself on campus, focusing on her schoolwork and her part-time job, distracting herself from her less-than-perfect upbringing. When Everest returns to school after his attempt, he's in more pain than ever. Discarded by his friends, he draws little empathy and too much attention from those who surround him. But when Beverly and Everest meet unexpectedly in a dusty corner of the old library, they discover together just how rich life can be when given the freedom to just be yourself.

Atlas Petrakis was never meant to run an empire. At twenty-six, he was famous for something else entirely-winning Formula One championships, crashing luxury cars, and making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Responsibility was never part of the plan. But his Grandfather Eros Petrakis forced him to become the new CEO of Petrakis Shipping Company, and assigns someone to train him. Jane West. Brilliant. Sharp. Unimpressed. Jane doesn't care about his fame, his money, or the women who chase him. To her, Atlas is simply a reckless billionaire who needs discipline. And she plans to fix him. The problem? Atlas Petrakis has never liked being told what to do. What begins as a battle of egos inside a glass office turns into something far more dangerous-flirtation, tension, and a slow-burning attraction neither of them wants to admit. Jane refuses to fall for him. Atlas refuses to give up the chase. But in a world of power, business deals, and family expectations, the biggest risk might not be losing the company- It might be losing their hearts.
