Newton's Third Law of Motion declares that for every action, there's an equal and opposing reaction. Forces come in pairs; happiness and sadness, good and evil, and positive and negative. Everything is dual. Nailea believes she has been stuck in the negative spectrum recently, with things worsening. However, she desperately wants to be on the positive side of things, even if it means forcing her constant happy demeanour. When their paths collide, Sebastian's solitude is ripped away, and Nailea finds herself bound to him in an act of pettiness. Pulled towards each other, they both struggle to maintain the delicate line between somewhat friends and something more, something nearly cosmic. People tend to forget that every person has the essence of their opposite contained within them. It's what pulls them together, after all. Just as the Law of Polarity depicts.

Gracelyn Pearce: The last two things I expect to happen on my twenty-fifth birthday are to catch my (now ex) bodyguard for stealing and then find out my stepdad's been arrested for fraud. To top it off, my (also now ex) boyfriend breaks up with me following my stepdad's scandal. My mother hires me a new bodyguard-who happens to be the same man I randomly roped in to be the driver of my getaway car during an attempt to escape the paparazzi. Yep. Go me. Sure, he's attractive, but what good is an attractive face if his personality is like that of a grumpy bear who's just been woken up from hibernation? Ioannis Dimitriou: I wasn't keen on taking on another celebrity assignment. So when I agreed to be billionaire heiress and actress Gracelyn Pearce's new bodyguard, I should have known that it would be a recipe for disaster-she's stubborn, she's infuriating as she is breathtaking, and above all, she's very much off limits. Yet the more time I spend with her, the more I find myself unable to resist the woman who's meant to be nothing more than my client. I want her. I crave for her. Even if I can't have her. And when a mysterious stalker enters Gracelyn's life, I'll do anything to protect the woman I've fallen so hard for.

Everyone who works within the New York Warriors organization knows that star player August Fletcher refuses to talk to most people...and especially team reporters. All except Quinn Castle, that is. Quinn doesn't know why the broody football player has singled her out, but she knows she doesn't like it-not when being around him and his hot gazes makes her feel like she might accidentally do something that risks her career. So when August unexpectedly retires, Quinn can't help but feel relieved...until she finds herself with a new assignment: spend the summer in August's hometown on Evergreen Isle and write a flashy retirement piece on the Warrior's biggest star. It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the team's secret agenda: convince August to return to New York. It would be easy enough...if it weren't her job on the line if she doesn't see it through. It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the heat in August Fletcher's eyes.
