A designer muse's plan and a Playboy's bad luck Kimberly Lau was the muse of her own life-creative, artistic, especially when it came to her eccentric style. After years of hesitation, she went through with becoming a fashion designer. All her good luck kept her going, that was until a family scandal shredded her couture brand and left her reputation in tatters. With her career slipping, website collecting dust, and no dress comissions in sight, she devised a plan. One that ended up revolving around the rich, game-obsessed playboy she'd never quite warmed up to. Raphael Blaine was the popular guy. He had it all, money, looks, charm, girls, a basketball career, and a future in his father's company. But when his brother's sudden illness upended everything, and his streak of bad luck refused to end, he knew exactly who to blame. Kimberly "Bad Luck" Lau. So, he does the unthinkable, he fake dates the girl who ruined his luck to reverse it. Simple enough. Except he doesn't want-and certainly won't-choose to fall for her. Especially not when she's quite literally ruining his life. ━━━━⊱ ☘︎ ⊰━━━━ 𝐓 𝐇 𝐄 𝐓 𝐄 𝐌 𝐏 𝐓 𝐌 𝐄 𝐒 𝐄 𝐑 𝐈 𝐄 𝐒 ♛ 1 Teach Me, Tempt Me ❆ 2 Please Me, Tempt Me ☘︎ 3 Ruse Me, Tempt Me ━━━━⊱ ☘︎ ⊰━━━━ 𝐂 𝐎 𝐍 𝐓 𝐄 𝐍 𝐓 𝐖 𝐀 𝐑 𝐍 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 ❥ profanity ❥ explicit sexual content ❥ alcohol consumption ❥ sensitive topics ❥ mild violence ━━━━⊱ ☘︎ ⊰━━━━ 𝐇 𝐈 𝐆 𝐇 𝐄 𝐒 𝐓 𝐑 𝐀 𝐍 𝐊 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 𝐒 #1 popular boy #1 fake dating ━━━━⊱ ☘︎ ⊰━━━━ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 2025/11/13 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃: ???

I cupped her face, planting a soft kiss on her beautiful lips. "Don't ever run from me, baby," I said softly, letting my thumb trace her jaw. "I love the chase." Her jaw tightened, her hands coming up to try and move mine. "Stop calling me baby, Ezra," she snapped, eyes flashing. I couldn't help but grin, dropping my voice to something low and dark. "Ohhh, now my baby has a problem with me calling her baby?" She shot me a glare, but I just tucked her hair behind her ear, pressing another kiss to her lips-gentler this time, lingering. "You don't get to tell me what to call you, baby." I leaned in closer, brushing my nose against hers. "You're whatever the fuck I call you."

BOOK #1 "What are you going to do? You can't kill me. I am the most skilled person in this mafia hands down. Hell.. I even beat you! 'The big, bad mafia Don'," I said putting my face infront of his to show that I'm not intimidated. He then looked at me as if I was his prey. I mean I know I'm hot, but I didn't think I was that hot. I brought his face closer to mine. I shivered as his lips very lightly grazed mine.
