Lydia Harper, a captivating enigma with a shadowed past, escapes the confines of her life in California, seeking a fresh start in the bustling heart of New York City. Unluckily, she arrives there only to find her dorm room assignment mysteriously vanished.

Homeless in the concrete jungle, Lydia turns to her estranged Godfather for a temporary haven. But fate, with a mischievous wink, has other plans.

The "penthouse" offered by her Godfather is not just any apartment - it's the opulent domain of Theodore Kingsley, a brilliant and brooding CEO burdened by a strained family relationship and a demanding career. And Lydia's sudden arrival disrupts his quiet, meticulously ordered life. 

A "temporary haven" becomes a life-altering proposition when a shocking announcement throws them both into chaos. Forced to fabricate a relationship for the public eye, their lives become a captivating charade.

Lydia and Theo, two souls bound by circumstance, navigate a world of deception. As they waltz through the charade, a scorching attraction ignites beneath the facade. Every stolen glance, every whispered word, fuels the flames of a love that could consume them both. But the truth has a way of erupting, and when it does, it could destroy everything they hold dear. 

For how long can they keep their secrets buried while they play pretend?

[Book 2 in the Secret series] "That's not what I meant..." I chew on my lip. "Well, what the fuck did you mean then?" He shouts. "When I'm there I don't have to think about you!" I yell back. Wrong choice of words again, Sophia. I curse myself. His form immediately stands and he strides over to me, he is now inches away from me, his body is so close to mine that I am forced to take a couple of steps backwards. My back is pressed up against the window. Noah's breathing is deep but he speaks softly, "when you're there all I can think about is you." He raises his hand and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. I step around him and head for the door, "uh I'm going to go to the hospital." I pick up my bag and rush out of the door leaving Noah in the room and saving myself from doing something I would definitely regret and make me change my mind about going back to Pennsylvania. ------------ 'I love you too,' were the last words Sophia heard before she was banished from her home city and she left without a second thought. If she didn't she knew she would be in danger. A month and a half later Sophia returns as a person close to her is in critical condition in hospital. Everyone's eyes are on Sophia, and they are looking for someone to blame. Will she return to her new life and forget about New York once and for all?

I laughed and joked with the group, feeling carefree for the first time all evening. But then, I saw Eryx's dark gaze on me, his eyes narrowing as he strode towards me. "Excuse us," he said curtly, his hand wrapping around my elbow like a vice. He pulled me away from the crowd, dragging me to a less crowded corner of the hall. "What's wrong?" I whispered, feeling a shiver run down my spine as he backed me into the shadows. "Your behavior will raise suspicions," he whispered back, his breath hot against my ear. "My family can't think we're not serious about each other." I rolled my eyes, feeling a spark of defiance. "I'm just having fun, Eryx. Don't be so possessive." But before I could continue, Eryx's gaze flicked to the side, his expression changing. He spotted someone approaching, and his eyes locked onto mine with an urgent intensity. "Just go along with it, Luna," he whispered. And then, his lips claimed mine in a fierce and possessive kiss. I felt like I was melting into him, my heart racing with excitement. "You're mine," he growled, his eyes burning with intensity. ----------------------------- Adeline never believed in fate until the night she stumbled upon Eryx Valtor. His piercing gaze and chiseled features hinted at a life shrouded in secrets. Little did she know, their chance encounter would unravel a web of lies and bind them together in a dance of deception.

"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living. She's blunt, She's sensitive but she is also accompanied by two of her best friends in this story: Gina Sullivan and Francis Rutherfold. The enterprise which she works in is different, very different. In fact, the 'CEO' is not just another Happy go lucky male lead of the company. Aaron Reynolds- Rude, Arrogant, Harsh, and Stubborn. He's what they call an eccedentesiast. They say that a person who defines negative adjectives has a lot more inside them, the darkness in that person may overrule all the Positiveness. Well, with Aaron, it's hard to say. But...What if Amanda already had a face-off with 'The CEO' before working in his firm? What if she had already drawn a thick line of hate? What if egos of the same level collide? What then? True Love? More like an illusion! An illusion that poses a life threat. An illusion with the ability to make you believe in non-existent things such as; fairies, demons, fate, and even destiny! Ironic is it not? What we as humans happen to rely on.

COMPLETED Olivia Washington is running away. Not just from her life in New York, not just from her old job and not just from her past... She has packed parts of her life into boxes, and she is going headfirst to the first opportunity of a new life, all the way in Massachusetts, where the world-famous Raphael Castillo, owner of CASTACKS has hired her to be his personal nurse and caregiver. It's a dream job until the perks come in the form of his tall, handsome, olive-skinned, Italian billionaire son, Leonardo Castillo whose arrogance irks her in the worst way and yet... draws her to him in the best way. One very first and explosive encounter sends a whirlwind of emotional backlashes, heated moments, drunken mishaps, dark secrets, and lustful and forbidden acts into play. It's passionate. It's dangerous. It's a type of life she would not have lived had she not kissed those lips of his, had she not let him touch her with those gentle hands, had she not let him draw out her deepest moans. Even though he had a heartbreak reputation. Even though he would rather be spotted dead than with her in public. Even though he had his own demons that would throw them into chaos over and over. He was fire and she played with it... amidst the growing tension of family secrets between father and son, and the risky health of her employer. But when the heated moments are no longer just moments, and the forbidden actions don't feel so forbidden, Olivia must decide how long she can play this game to keep her job, as wounds start to open, secrets start to spill and danger comes to light.
