Adrian x Belvina book. Adrian Parker has always been the rock-steady, reliable, the friend who would drop everything to help others, even when his own world was crumbling. Beneath the smiles and jokes, however, lies a man haunted by the weight of past betrayals. The impostors, the cheaters, the liars-Adrian has seen it all, and each heartbreak has left a scar deep enough to make him believe that love was nothing more than a fleeting illusion. Now, he wears a mask, and behind it, he's built walls so thick no one can penetrate. No room for love. No space for pain. Or so he thought. Then came Belvina Gallardo. Belvina has lived by one rule: trust no one. After being burned by betrayal, she swore off letting anyone get close enough to hurt her again. Her heart? Locked up tight, guarded by walls only her closest friends and family have managed to breach. But Adrian Parker is different. He's persistent. Relentless. And, somehow, she feels something stirring inside her-a dangerous temptation to let him in. Both Adrian and Belvina have been broken, their trust shattered by the ones they loved. In a world where casual hookups and burying yourself in work is easier than risking another heartache, neither of them expects anything to change. They've both sworn off love for good. But sometimes, the heart doesn't listen to reason. And the one person you swear you'll never let in may just be the one who can heal you. When trust is shattered, can two broken souls learn to love again? Or will they simply break each other in the process?

❝He was an unassailable vault of secrets. She wanted to pick the lock.❞ If there was one thing Noah Carter was known for - apart from the wealth he drowned in, the girls that constantly surrounded him and the almost mesmerising trance of his looks - it was the aura of mystery he donned like a halo; like a dark veil that those at school could decipher only through baseless rumours. But when the cheerful and kind-hearted Amelia Winters saw something she really wasn't supposed to see, almost breaking through his iron walls, their wildly opposed worlds collided. And the result was inevitable - a journey filled with drama, jealousy, secrets, and shocking revelations. The start of the new semester definitely wasn't what Amelia thought it would be, and she found herself unwillingly knowing Noah Carter in a way she never thought she would. And the worst part was, even with the dangerous, menacing boy on the verge of wrecking her without mercy, she wanted solely one thing. To know more.

Alessia has always been a "go with the flow" type of girl. She goes along with everyone else's plans, takes the story assignments no one else wants, and insists five inches off is close enough to the trim she asked for at the hairdressers. She's used to winging it, so when she finally gets tired of her family meddling in her love life, she comes up with a solution on the spot: Logan West. He's the whole package: a charming, handsome, and successful entrepreneur who's head over heels for her... and 100% not real. At least, that's what Alessia thinks, until her nosy little sister gets the apparently very real Logan West to show up at her doorstep, ready to play the role of her fake boyfriend to get his own family off of his back. One look at the tall, Australian sex god, and Alessia knows keeping up this ruse is just asking for trouble. But she's never been one one to say "no" to anyone, or to trouble, and Logan is clearly the most delicious kind of trouble. After a series of unfortunate misunderstandings, Alessia finds herself with not just a fake boyfriend, but a ring on her finger, planning a trip to the altar with a man she's trying desperately not to fall for. But just how far will she let her life spiral out of her control before she takes the reins?
