Young designer Hazel Ford is rapidly rising to prominence with every dress she creates, carving out a reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the fashion industry. Her talent has not only earned her acclaim but also a coveted place at the prestigious Starstruck Agency, where she's embraced by many as a fresh and dynamic visionary.

Yet, there's one person she can't quite figure out-Nick Ledger. For two years, their paths have crossed, but his enigmatic, quiet demeanor remains a mystery to her. As the CEO's right-hand man and head of the security team, Nick is a man of discipline and precision, always watching, always one step ahead.

But there's something about him that lingers in the back of Hazel's mind-an unspoken tension, a feeling that he knows more than he lets on. It's as if Nick isn't just protecting the agency...but guarding secrets of his own. Secrets that Hazel might be dangerously close to uncovering.

We Were Meant to Be by anya_jayvyn

An age gap love story. A brokenhearted billionaire. A college girl. ***** "Nevaeh," Aiden whispers, "can I rest my head on your shoulder?" I nod, letting him rest his head on my shoulder. He closes his eyes. "Thank you." He sighs in contentment. "Heaven." "Heaven?" "It's your name spelled backward, isn't it?" ***** The moment I first saw Aiden Klein, the first thing that came up in my head was how perfect he was. A good hard working man who loves his family more than anything else, Aiden Klein has been the subject of the desire of many women. His wealth and success as one of the most influential leaders in the business world are nothing compared to his golden heart. The world keeps asking the same questions over and over again, "How would he love his woman?" The sad thing is, we will never know. Because his heart has been frozen. Eyes are blind for any woman. Touch is forbidden for their skin. Aiden Klein cannot love a woman. Yet, I know that it's far from the truth. Aiden Klein can love a woman so fiercely, his love would break you. Because I've seen it once, accidentally. He's the broken hero. And I'm the villain in this story. © Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.

The boundaries between fiction and reality were about to blur, and in the midst of it all, a love story awaited, one that transcended the pages of her imagination and came to life in the most unexpected of ways.
