Olivia Watts thought she had it all. Her dream job and a picturesque relationship complete with a perfectly toxic longterm boyfriend. Except, she's tired of just looking good. She wants more for herself, and it's time for her to grow up and get it. But what if it comes from a place she never would've expected? How does she know her growth isn't being traded in for the next best, forbidden love affair?

Dio Alonso is well-rounded. He's established himself, but as a psychologist, he can't ignore his desire for the next stage of life. Of course, he thought the love of his life would come the normal way, but she might just walk into his life in the most unethical way possible...as his client. If only love didn't taste so good.

"What's wrong ma?" He questioned after a few seconds when she didn't respond to him. "Do you plan on having sex with me." She rested her chin on her knees that were pulled up to her chest. "Why?"

But what about the loneliness that comes with it in the first few weeks? That was Muna's life until a gym accident got her falling on Nicklaus Gray, a lawyer, who lives on the floor above hers. But then, her first impression of him, made him her first enemy in the city and their second and third encounters were not so good either. Well, they said first impressions are often entirely wrong, but would that be the case for Nicklaus Gray? Nicklaus Gray's life took a depressing turn after he lost his mother, and was now left with a father he didn't like very much. But with everything happening in his life, all he wanted was to focus on becoming a great lawyer like every member of his family. And the best way to do that was to avoid distractions like falling in love. But when Muna appeared in his life, and they managed to have three different not-so-good encounters in just one day, the curiosity to get to know her sparked in him. There was something about her that made him genuinely smile again. There was something about the way she kept mentioning his name that he loved. There was something about her lips, and he wanted to kiss them. *An enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story of two people, who sweat out all their worries at the gym. This book is rated 🔞
