The Bet Between Us (1st Person POV)
Celestial Vanguards University: Theo Mia has always been that friend-you know, the one who's cheering everyone else on from the sidelines. But when her best friend Ariana finds happiness with Frost, Mia can't help but wonder: when is it going to be her turn? And then there's Theo. He's the president of the arts club, the guy with way too much charm for his own good-and a bruised ego to match. After failing to win over Ariana (ouch), Theo has something to prove. So, he comes up with this idea: he'll dare Mia to go on a few dates with him. Why? Because he's convinced he can make anyone fall for him. Mia agrees. But only with one rule: this is just a game. No feelings. No drama. No complications. Of course, things don't stay that simple. What starts off as a harmless dare starts to feel like... something else. Can Mia really keep her heart out of it? Or will Theo's little dare lead to something neither of them saw coming? Ready or not-let the games (and maybe love) begin.
Colors of the Heart
Mia Harper has always preferred the quiet. While the halls of Brookfield High buzz with life, she stays on the edges, content with her sketchbook and the silent beauty of the world around her. Art is her escape, her way of expressing emotions she can't put into words. She's never needed attention-until James Carter walks into her life. James is everything Mia isn't-confident, charismatic, and effortlessly admired. As the new student, he quickly becomes the center of attention, but behind his easy smile is a boy weighed down by expectations. He's spent his whole life trying to be perfect, but when he stumbles upon Mia in the art room, he sees something different. Something real. What begins as quiet curiosity turns into an unexpected connection. James is drawn to Mia's world of color and imagination, and Mia finds herself stepping outside her comfort zone in ways she never imagined. But letting someone in isn't easy, and both must face their fears-Mia's fear of being seen and James's fear of not living up to who he's supposed to be. Colors of the Heart is a story of contrasts, connection, and the beauty of seeing the world through someone else's eyes.Complete
The perfect relationship
What to do when the initial anger and hatred disappear and grow into something more? For example, in unrequited love and in fear of letting another person into your life? This is the dilemma that Mia Strauss and Edwin Allen have to deal with, who, due to a misunderstanding and an unfavorable fate, find themselves locked in an apartment. Mia, a simple girl from the people, wakes up in the wrong plane, and thus her long-awaited return home becomes a complete hell. Being in Dubai is by far not the biggest problem she has to deal with. But her real problem is Edwin. A rich, conceited and arrogant businessman, who at the same time hides a perfectly developed body with a sexy ass and, unfortunately, an undisguised aversion to the entire female generation, under his intention-sewn suit. For Edwin, Mia is an innocent but provocative temptation that she can't handle. He would have preferred to bend her over the knee and give her a manual, but on the other hand, his openness, fearlessness, and well-aimed audacity impressed him. Will Mia withstand the pressure that Edwin is constantly putting on her? Will she be able to awaken a lost or previously unknown feeling of love in him? Will Edwin discover the need to love someone and the need to be loved?Complete
