When Alma, a museum curator at the Met in New York, is assigned an exhibition in partnership with the Prado museum in Madrid Spain she must work closely with the associated director, Carlos Alvarez. This won't be the first collaboration she's had with the handsome Spaniard. Not only does her wealthy Spanish-American family share a history through generations with the Alvarez family, but Alma also has a past with Carlos. While in graduate school, Alma had a passionate affair with her then Professor Alvarez. She installed Carlos in her life for two years, until the shine came off the varnish of their relationship when he returned to his wife and children in Spain. Now Alma is involved in her own complicated marriage with childhood best friend, Mick. With Carlos's return, the pressures mount in both her professional and personal lives, and the picture Alma had in mind for her future begins to change. Just like with portraiture, the faces we show the world may not always reflect the truth beneath the veneer, and sometimes a pretty frame can only contain reality for so long. Whether this period of her life is just a phase or not, she hopes the new one that begins to emerge will be her masterpiece.

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.

Alpha Gage was known for his ruthless army when threatened and his words... or lack thereof. It was said that he didn't speak much and when he did it could shake even the mightiest warrior and she was no exception. He was also the youngest alpha in the states after taking down his ruthless dictator of a father. He was rude, cold, thoughtless, smart, and her mate. Korali just floated by, she would let her destiny find her rather than going to search for it, like most people her age. She was fine with blending in the background and she definitely wasn't looking for her moody, careless, brute of a mate. Jordan was an enigma and he trusted almost no one. And the one he did trust definitely wasn't her. This is the story of when two worlds collide in an unwilling fashion. Sparks or flames, either way it would end in fire. Cover by: @anaesthetics-
