Aurora
I always stay away from office romances, it just complicates things. And then Orion enters in a well-fitting suit, but I always kept my distance until I was lying on the beach and I saw him. He came straight up and asked,
"Can you do the honour of pretending to be my girlfriend?"
Orion
From the first day Aurora joined our company, it was difficult not to pay attention to her. But, when I saw her lying on the beach in my hometown my mind went blank. I knew it would be wrong of me to ask her to pretend to be my girlfriend for the sake of my parents. But, I was tired of pretending not to be interested in her.

Before You Replied
Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year. Then Beck showed up. She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his. What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same. This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from. Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it. If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.
