Emma Harris has always been a planner, living her life with precision and following the rules. But when her fiancé, Ben, unexpectedly ends their engagement weeks before their wedding, Emma is left heartbroken and questioning everything. To move on, her best friend Sarah convinces her to try online dating, though Emma is skeptical. A glitch in the dating app pairs her with Liam Turner, a carefree, spontaneous photographer who is everything Emma isn't looking for. Their first meeting is awkward, but an unexpected connection grows between them as they continue to spend time together, embracing spontaneity and adventure.
However, just as Emma begins to develop real feelings for Liam, the app's glitch is fixed, and she matches with Greg, a stable and dependable businessman-everything her parents would approve of. Torn between the safety and comfort of Greg and the exhilarating, unpredictable connection she shares with Liam, Emma is faced with a tough choice. As she learns to trust her heart and listen to her own desires, Emma discovers that love doesn't always follow a perfect plan. Sometimes, the best things come from mistakes, and the courage to embrace the unexpected can lead to the happiness she never knew she needed.
*They hated her at first... but they had no idea who she really was.*
...........
Serena Carter was just trying to live-trying to find peace in the mess that was her life. But one accident changed everything.
Abandoned. Alone. She was sent to live with the Morettis-four brothers and a father who wanted nothing to do with her. She was the reminder of their mother's biggest betrayal, the stain on their perfect legacy. Ten months. That's all she had to survive before she turned eighteen and walked away for good. Easy, right?
Wrong.
Because the Morettis might have convinced themselves they hated her, but hate was a tricky thing-it turned into obsession, into protectiveness, into something none of them were ready for. They thought they knew her, thought she was just a mistake that could be ignored.
They had no idea.
Because Serena had secrets-ones even she didn't fully understand. And in a world where power was everything, she was about to become the most dangerous piece on the board.
She wasn't just a mistake. She was a Moretti.
