Love wore a million-dollar suit
Amanda Deward was a beautiful but shy woman who listened when people told her that beauty meant skinny and knew, therefore, that she would never be beautiful because she would never be as thin as those sticks figures that posed in magazines. This seemingly oblivious beauty is out of her comfort zone when she leaves her small-town life behind for adventure in the big city. Michael Pariah was not what she expected, but he was what she found. Michael Pariah was a very rich, powerful, and deliciously handsome young business executive who was well known for getting what he wanted, and now he wanted her. Getting a woman shouldn't be hard, right? Especially with his looks and his heavy bank account. Suddenly the two things that had always worked in his favour are the two things that have her running in the next direction. That and the fact that her aunt warned her not to even blink toward the Pariah men who want her company and would do anything to get it. What is Amanda to believe when the two important lessons that she's been thought begin to clash. Could it actually and genuinely be that this very rich, very powerful, very sexy guy could want her, of all people? Or was Michael Pariah just being himself and sticking to his nature and doing whatever it took to get what he wants her business.Complete

DIVE INTO THEIR WORLD. AN UNPRECEDENTED LOVE STORY. ~GURU AND AYESHA~ THE LOVE STORY OF THE COLD HEARTTHROB. Guru is the kind of guy you notice the second he walks into a room-unbothered, untouchable, and the epitome of cold confidence. With a reputation as a heartthrob, his high standards and aloof attitude make him the one everyone wants to impress but can never reach. He doesn't care about the drama around him; he's in a league of his own. But when **Ayesha**, a shy and delicate beauty, crosses his path, something shifts. She's the kind of girl who draws attention whether she wants it or not-and Guru, despite his usual indifference, can't look away. He's obsessed. Her fragility becomes his obsession, and from the moment he lays eyes on her, he makes it clear: *No one will ever lay a finger on her, no one will dare touch her or even look at her wrong.* For Guru, love isn't about sweet words or gestures-it's about *protection*. His possessiveness burns with an intensity that makes his cold exterior crack, showing a side of him that's terrifying in its loyalty. He will tear down anyone who dares to threaten Ayesha, going to extreme lengths to ensure she is always safe. The world might see him as the untouchable heartthrob, but for Ayesha, he's the wall between her and the chaos around her. He doesn't just want her; he will obliterate anything or anyone who dares to get close. His love isn't gentle-it's fierce, possessive, and unstoppable. How far will Guru go to keep her safe? As far as it takes, even if it means burning the world to the ground.Complete
