As a teen, Robyn Perez was a trusting, mild-spirited girl who blended into the background. When her heart was broken by the most popular guy in school, she decided to shed her innocent persona, and morph into someone she had only ever dreamed of being.
Fast forward 10 years, and a business deal results in spitfire Robyn meeting Dimitri de laVega, the same guy who broke her 15-year old heart. She fights his obvious attraction to her with newfound strength and a determination not to repeat the past and have her heart broken by him.
Dimitri de la Vega had it all.
A thriving business that made him a young millionaire, a body that gave him an endless stream of women, and a face that caused him to be refused nothing.
When his new business partner is his childhood flame, he shrugged it off. She would be as cliché as the others; hating him for 'breaking her heart'. But when Robyn is everything he didn't know he was searching for in a woman, she became a prize he had to get.
Will there be a budding romance? Join Robyn and Dimitri as they dredge up their past and uncover their future.

The Arrangement (BWWM) Under HEAVY Editing
Robyn Winter, a 21-year-old bright and ambitious college senior, found her carefully constructed world upended by a proposition she couldn't refuse- an arranged marriage to Justyn Lyons, the 26-year-old city's most eligible and enigmatic billionaire. He was intimidatingly handsome, successful beyond measure, and everything Robyn hadn't envisioned for her future. Their union was a strategic alliance, a merger of families and fortunes, meant to benefit both their legacies. Initially, their interactions were stilted, polite smiles exchanged for cameras, and separate lives led behind closed doors. Robyn focused on finishing her degree, while Justyn remained absorbed in his corporate empire. But beneath the surface of forced smiles and practiced indifference, a subtle shift began. Late night conversations about their dreams and fears replaced awkward silences. Robyn saw glimpses of vulnerability beneath Justyn's polished exterior, and Justyn was captivated by Robyn's intelligence and genuine spirit. The lines between obligation and affection blurred as stolen glances turned into lingering touches. They found themselves drawn to each other, discovering unexpected common ground in their shared loneliness and the pressures of their respective worlds. However, their burgeoning connection didn't go unnoticed. Someone, a figure lurking in the shadows of their families' intertwined histories, saw their growing affection as a threat. Whispers started circulating, old grievances resurfaced, and subtle acts of sabotage threatened to unravel their carefully constructed world. This person was determined to tear them apart before their forced union could blossom into something real, something powerful.
