""So you still don't believe in Love." She remarked looking up into his dead eyes.

"Even more than I did Five years ago." He replied smirking up at her with a lifeless smile.

Caine had suffered all his life. Not only did he open his eyes to meet nothing but darkness he was born in it. Of it. Moulded by it.
Though in his childhood years ever since he was a little boy a little not so innocent girl named Grace tried all in what was in here to make him smile and to make him happy.

Having the will power and the determination of a goddess. When everyone gave up on the little boy she was the only one that believed. But due to circumstances the two twelve year old best friends have to say their final painful goodbyes as he has to leave with his foster parents. Leaving the only person that made him smile behind.

Five years later he returns back in town. More brutal. More lifeless. More violent. And filled with more hate than he ever did before.

"You've changed." She gave him an innocent smile.

"That's what life does to you my princess. It changes you." His husky voice echoed through her ears as she realised all her hard work years ago had came crumbling down.

Now Grace has more work to do that ever before as she is determined to make a guy that has lost faith in the world and in humanity believe not only in the world again but love that he never had a glimse of...

The question is will she succeed or is she just wasting her time on a useless cause?

Caught up in the sins and glamour of high society life, Astoria became the girl no one could trust. In order to return to grace, she must do the unthinkable: find a husband before the end of the year... before her mother chooses for her. With only 3 months remaining in the year, she decided to return to the limelight and reengages of high society life. But with everything she needed to build a future, only one question rings in her mind as she faces her fate: was it worth the price? __ The lighting was dull, but I could still see the shadows of his strong jawline, and the broad, muscular build he hid under his suit jacket. I wished I could see more of him-I wished I could see his face. I was intrigued by him, by the man who couldn't seem to look away. I blinked a few times before turning my cheek, suddenly conscious of the way his hidden eyes bore into me; I could almost feel the intensity of his gaze burning holes into my skull. Maybe he knew who I was; maybe he was one of the people I had crossed, they all looked the same to me. I had too many skeletons in my closet to be able to keep track of who was an ally and who was an enemy. If he was the latter, God help me. It was just the two of us outside now on the once compact Parisian streets. We were completely alone. He could do or say whatever he wanted and no one would bare witness. And yet, neither of us moved, too afraid to disrupt the perfect serenity of the moment. I opened my mouth to speak, but I could not bring myself to utter a word. For the first time, I was scared to know what someone was thinking about me. I wanted to know the type of woman he saw staring back at him. I hoped he saw the woman I was pretending to be: the regal, glamorous, refined young lady I'd been bred to become. But somehow I knew he saw me differently. The man who could not look away could see everything, and I just hoped, for the both of us, that he saw how sorry I was.

This book needs editing, the first chapters aren't very good, but the story gets better as you read on! There was only one thing that Amelia White needed to do. Be invisible and never draw the attention of five boys. She has been avoiding them ever since she knew who they were, and she's not planning to be part of the game those boys play. At least, that was the plan until her feet changed it for her. Bumping into Caine Williams is not exactly the way you stay unnoticeable for those boys. She detests an emotionless, narcissistic, and selfish asshole. He's the most attractive boy she's ever seen, but he has a terrible personality. Everything just seems like a joke to him. Hopefully, this journey of heated conversations and stupid fights turns out to be positive, and there's no need for any more hearts to shatter. Nevertheless, bad boys are unpredictable and dangerous, and there will be no insurance for broken hearts and unfixable relationships. But there's no need for insurance if the hate Amelia feels towards him is stronger than the tiny piece of possible love she feels in her heart, right? Caine will definitely regret opening the chase on her when he finds out it's not worth it. At least, that was what Amelia thought. Bumping into Caine Williams was certainly not the plan. That's the only thing that's for sure. Amelia knows that she can say goodbye to the plan of staying invisible, thanks to her clumsiness, and she'll have to say hello to his world with trouble and problems. You didn't think he would let her be, now would you? ©JosephineFlorence, All rights reserved

Maureen Delacroix and Sebastian Cross have been enemies for as long as they can remember. Born into the world of high-society privilege and immense wealth, their families have never seen eye to eye. What started as a rivalry between their fathers turned into an all-consuming, bitter hatred between them. From the outside, Maureen is the epitome of grace-intelligent, poised, and seemingly perfect in every way. She runs one of the most powerful financial empires in the world, a legacy built by her late mother. But her life is anything but perfect. And Sebastian Cross? He's the son of a man who has always seen her family as competition. He's arrogant, cold, and ruthless, with a business empire of his own that rivals hers. But it was one betrayal that shattered their fragile truce. The night Sebastian used her-the night he ruined everything she worked so hard to build in one swift, unforgivable move. He exposed her company's darkest secrets to the public, launching a corporate war that nearly destroyed her family. He stripped away everything that mattered to her. Now, five years later, the stakes are higher than ever. Maureen is still rebuilding her empire, keeping her face flawless while secretly plotting her revenge. But when an unexpected opportunity arises-a business deal that would make both their companies the most powerful in the world-Maureen and Sebastian are forced to work together. Neither of them wants to, but there's too much at risk. The deal could make or break them both. But when they're in the same room? Sparks fly. And not the good kind. He still wants her to pay for what she did, and she hates him with every ounce of her being. There's no trust, no love, only sharp words, seething tension, and manipulative games. But beneath all that hate lies something darker. Something dangerous they both refuse to admit.
