She ran away to find freedom. She came home with a husband. Six years ago, rebellious heiress Ruby St. Clair vanished. After the tragic death of her parents, she traded her diamonds for a waitress's apron and her legacy for anonymity. She was happy. She was safe. Then she met Roman Vasquez. One whirlwind encounter with the calculated Spanish billionaire turned her world upside down-and ended with a wedding ring she never intended to wear. Now, realizing the depth of her mistake, Ruby is on the run again. But there's only one place left to hide: the home she swore she'd never return to, and the secrets she can no longer outrun.

She's the world's most famous face. He's the only man who can see right through her. Supermodel Emerald St. Clair has it all: fame, fortune, and a jet-setting life most would kill for. With her three sisters now happily married thanks to their meddling grandfather, Emerald is the last one standing-and she's determined to keep it that way. She makes a deal with the devil: one final photoshoot for St. Clair Diamonds in the exotic sands of Saqr, and her grandfather will finally stop breathing down her neck about marriage. But when a series of disasters leaves her stranded in the desert, her only hope is the one man she can't stand. Khalil Al-Farsi is powerful, arrogant, and Emerald's oldest rival.

One summer in Italy changed her life forever. Now, her secret is about to be unmasked. Amethyst St. Clair has everything she needs: a wealthy family, a beautiful life, and a son she would do anything to protect. But for years, one question has haunted the tabloids: Who is the father? Her cunning grandfather has already successfully played matchmaker for two of her sisters, and Amethyst knows she's his next target. To escape his pressure, she agrees to one last business trip to Italy. She expected a professional meeting. She didn't expect to come face-to-face with Franco Calvetti. He is still as gorgeous as the summer they met. Franco is now more powerful and more dangerous than ever. He's the man who broke her heart, and the one mistake she swore she'd never repeat. But as the spark between them reignites, Amethyst is terrified: What will the ruthless Italian prince do when he discovers the son she's been hiding for years?

Every gala, every corner, every shadow-her gorgeous ex-husband is there. He is reigniting an all-consuming desire that never truly died. Sapphire is ready to move on, but Loukas has other plans. And this time, he's not letting her go without a fight.

*Featured Wattpad Story* ❝As they say, opposites attract.❞ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Daniel Mormon is the luckiest person alive. Without even trying, he gets girls, grades, and attention everywhere he goes. Nothing seems to touch him, and it doesn't seem like anything bad is about to happen to him anytime too soon. Harriet Benchman is, to put it nicely, miserable. Her mom and dad despise eachother, she has no friends, and her grades are as good as popcorn and ketchup put together (bad, you didn't get the analogy). The only thing she attracts is rainy days. They both abhor each other. One is perfect, the other is disastrous. So when they are forced to compete in a dance competition together, the only things that will come out of it will be total annihilation (or so they think), and some sweet moves.
