Larkin, a gorgeous and sweet twenty-something, has dedicated her world-class talent in computers and technology to helping good criminals disappear and catching the worst of them on the dark web. Despite witnessing the filth of humanity in the underground world, she still sees the glass as half-full, dresses in bright colors, and seems like someone untouched by cruelty. She was perfectly content hiding in the shadows and taking down sickos from behind her screen-until she crossed paths with Simon Lucas G. Jonas, a super tall, hunky, and devastatingly handsome tech CEO. From the moment she saw him, she knew he was her type. If she were a computer keyboard, she would've gladly let him stick his flash drive into her USB port. Hoping to impress him (and maybe snag his attention), she decided to break into his supposedly hack-proof, fortress-like cyber wall. She succeeded-earning her ultimate crush's attention... but also his burning hatred. Now he won't touch her with a ten-foot pole, avoids her like the plague, and looks at her as if she's gum stuck to the bottom of his shoe. Her charm and cuteness? Completely wasted on him. Larkin thought she'd cracked every code in the world. Turns out, she's still struggling with the hardest one yet: The Code To His Heart

She refuses and swore to never fall again with anyone, after she got her heart broken by the person she's loved for three years. However, B's dedication is as strong as his feminist values, his hatred to patriarchy, and his defiance to toxic masculinity. He's so dedicated to making her fall in love even if it means being her rebound.

Princess Sumaguban is twenty one, a nursing student, and the only girl in a family of law enforcement. Her father is a chief in the U.S. military, strict but deeply loving, and her uncles in the Philippines wear badges of their own. The kind of family that makes boys nervous before they even say hello. She has effectively had no boyfriend since birth. Not because she couldn't. But because she never wanted what boys her age offered. Too loud. Too careless. Too frat boy, all bravado and no backbone. She was named Princess for a reason. The only girl, fiercely protected, raised with discipline, expectations, and a future she took seriously. School came first. It always did. Her life is busy and full, split between nursing school and hospital rotations, running on caffeine, adrenaline, and stubborn optimism. One ordinary day, she sees him. Tall. Russian. Brown curls that refuse to behave. Glasses. Incredibly handsome. He doesn't smile. She can tell. Lips so luscious it throws her off balance, but she already knows a man like him belongs in a lab or an operating room, not standing this close to her, not close enough that she suddenly forgets how to breathe. She offers him a bite of her favorite snack. She knows she shouldn't have. But in that moment, she knows he takes more than a bite. He takes something that sinks into her chest, threading itself through a place that was never meant for anyone else.
