Maggie Harris and Richard Maple are two thirtysomething antique dealers from London, who have been forced by financial problems, to join their two businesses. That was over a year ago and things are now on the up.
Maggie is in love with Richard and he is in love with her. The thing is, they both have trouble expressing it verbally. Those magical three little words, I love you, never seemed to make an appearance.
Then one day they both got a separate email from one of their respective clients, asking each of them to attend a separate event in Florence, Italy.
Using this romantic city as a backdrop, Richard finally plucks up the courage to ask her to marry him?
So, what is it stopping Maggie from saying 'Yes'?

Hate Is Only Half The Story
If there was one thing Jasmine Kalu wished was easier, it would be believing in herself and chasing her dream. And if Liam Ashford were to be in the picture, eliminating him from her life forever would be part of the deal. *** Jasmine had finally landed a steady job after convincing herself that it was worth putting her dream on hold for a nine-to-five. After all, a paycheck gets the bills paid. But her excitement quickly faded away when she discovered that the company's owner was none other than her brother's best friend, and her long-time nemesis, Liam Ashford. She hadn't seen Liam in like ten years, but it took no time to realize he was not just as cocky as ever, Liam was hotter, sharper, and dead set on making her life miserable. Liam Ashford was the charming, hot, and 'everyone likes him' type of guy, but to Jasmine, his charm was nothing more than an annoying cover for his infuriating arrogance. One would think that after over ten years of being apart, the two would have learned to tolerate one another. But that was not near possible, because right from the moment they reunited, it was the same old banter and heated arguments. But beneath all that banter, something new starts to bloom. As time unfolds before them, Jasmine begins to realize that there's more to this hate story of theirs. That the Liam she thought she knew might not be the whole picture. Can the two people who were so dead set on tearing each other apart turn around and admit the attraction they had for each other? A fun hate-to-love, brother's best friend, workplace rom-com.

The Men Next Door
✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly--like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by--and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just the girl next door. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly--like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea--and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Love Triangles 💘😈 (July 2025) • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • Love Triangle (April 2025) • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) 📗 @ChickLit • Rom-Com (Oct 2025) • Ambassador's Picks (Jul 2025) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)Concluida
