Ethan was the owner of a quaint vintage bookstore nestled in a cobblestone alley, filled with the whispers of love stories past. With tousled hair and an enigmatic smile, he was known for breaking hearts rather than mending them. Mia, however, was drawn to the complexity of this heartbreaker.

Unwilling to be merely a chapter in his life, Mia felt a surge of determination. She knew she had to orchestrate a plan to eliminate the competition. his eyes alight with admiration.
