The whole world was in love with Julian Sinclair.
With his face plastered on every magazine cover, one of the youngest actors to win an Oscar this year - he is Hollywood's latest heartthrob, getting compared with the likes of James Dean and Titanic-era's Leonardo DiCaprio, the press just can't get enough of this up and coming new actor, including his private life.
But before the world knew about A-List celebrity Julian Sinclair, he was only a theatre kid called Jules.
He was once Sumin Lee's best friend - until he wasn't.
Meanwhile Sumin has been living her own, much less lavish life. Unlike her ex-best friend, her acting hasn't helped her much. She wouldn't call being paid to be an extra on the new Gossip Girl a landmark in her career. Sometimes, she almost believes she's an extra in her own life, just without the minimum wage.
But fate plays a cruel joke and she and Julian cross paths years later. A butterfly effect entails, and Sumin's given the opportunity of a lifetime to star in a new movie by world-famous director Tess Vanderbilt. The only problem is, she has to play Julian's on-screen love interest.
Sumin has been in the industry long enough to know. Rule number one in acting: Never fall in love with your co-star. Not even when she used to love him, before it turned into hate.

By Your Side
Gracelyn Pearce: The last two things I expect to happen on my twenty-fifth birthday are to catch my (now ex) bodyguard for stealing and then find out my stepdad's been arrested for fraud. To top it off, my (also now ex) boyfriend breaks up with me following my stepdad's scandal. My mother hires me a new bodyguard-who happens to be the same man I randomly roped in to be the driver of my getaway car during an attempt to escape the paparazzi. Yep. Go me. Sure, he's attractive, but what good is an attractive face if his personality is like that of a grumpy bear who's just been woken up from hibernation? Ioannis Dimitriou: I wasn't keen on taking on another celebrity assignment. So when I agreed to be billionaire heiress and actress Gracelyn Pearce's new bodyguard, I should have known that it would be a recipe for disaster-she's stubborn, she's infuriating as she is breathtaking, and above all, she's very much off limits. Yet the more time I spend with her, the more I find myself unable to resist the woman who's meant to be nothing more than my client. I want her. I crave for her. Even if I can't have her. And when a mysterious stalker enters Gracelyn's life, I'll do anything to protect the woman I've fallen so hard for.Complete

Stung By You
I just close my eyes. Feeling him. Smelling him. Just existing close to him. My fingers clutch at his shirt, like it's the only thing keeping me from doing something reckless. Something completely, irrevocably stupid. Like kissing my son's best friend. And it feels so wrong. Oh God. So damn wrong. But then- His thumb shifts against my skin. A slow, lazy stroke. And suddenly, it feels so right. SO DAMN RIGHT. I breathe in too sharply. Mistake. He notices. Of course, he notices. His grip on my hips tightens. "You always this tense?" I force out a breath. "You always this annoying?" Leo laughs under his breath. "Only when I'm right." I tilt my head, and his eyes are already waiting for me-dark, unreadable, impossibly close. His fingers brush just above my waist. Barely there, but enough. Enough to make me hyper-aware of how easy it'd be to- "You wear this every night, don't you?" It takes me half a second to register what he means. The hoodie. His hoodie. *** π She never expected to fall for him. π₯ He never stopped waiting for her. π‘ But some love stories don't follow the rules. Jenny Thompson moved to start fresh. A new neighborhood, a new home, a new beginning. What she didn't expect? Leo Mitchell. Her son's best friend. Fifteen years younger.

But then- π¬ "I don't know how to stop wanting this." π₯ "Then don't." π A slow-burn, emotional age-gap romance about love, healing, and the risk of wanting more. ** Taboo. Age gap. Off-limits tension. A love that shouldn't exist-but try stopping it.**Complete
