When Alice's life unravels-her heart bruised, her confidence shaken, and her future uncertain-she escapes to a sun-drenched island with nothing but a suitcase and a desperate need for a reset. But paradise isn't as simple as it seems. Between awkward work dinners, late-night confessions with her best friends, and the intoxicating pull of two very different men, Alice finds herself caught between the comfort of a gentle, golden-eyed stranger and the dangerous thrill of a man who refuses to play by the rules. As old wounds resurface and new temptations beckon, Alice must decide: will she risk her heart again, or keep hiding behind the walls she's built? Healing in Paradise is a story about friendship, vulnerability, and the messy, beautiful chaos of falling for the wrong person-or maybe, finally, the right one.Complete
A Summer Like No Other
She's his best friend's little sister. He's the biggest player of them all. They shouldn't be together. But this summer's just too tempting. Sixteen-year-old Emilia Moretti's goal for the summer is simple: forget her brother's best friend-Nick Grawsky-ever existed. It should be easy: He's spending his summer in the Hamptons, adding girls in tiny bikinis to his list of broken hearts. Guarantee he won't be telling them they're like his little sisters. This summer, Emilia won't stay awake at night thinking about him. She'll need flawless ballet movements to have a shot at next year's showcase, and she's finally ready to search for her birth parents. But when Nick decides to stay in the city, Emilia's resolve disappears in a pirouette. Maybe it's the spin they needed to be together. As long as she doesn't get stuck believing in happily ever after... Nick is tired of pretending to be the happy, let's-have-fun guy. His father wants him to change his career from professional dancer to...lawyer. He needs to put all of his focus on dancing to prove to Daddy Dearest he's good enough to make it big. And he may have a case of the bluest balls in history courtesy of Emilia. She's off-limits: The bro code with Roberto even forbids the dirty thoughts he has about her. Besides, he's not boyfriend material. He only has time for flings, for girls who don't expect much, for girls he doesn't want to kiss goodnight. He knows he should resist her, but he's not sure he wants to... At least for this summer. It's going to be a summer like no other.Complete
