The space between them was suppose to be PERMANENT, but maybe some distances weren't meant to LAST.
Vera Leung has spent her life in the shadows, the overlooked heir to Leung & Co. While her brother is set to inherit the family empire, she refuses to stand by and let it happen. She's spent years proving she's just as capable, if not more. No distractions. No mistakes. No room for failure.
But then there's Lawrence Lancaster. A self-made success, effortlessly charming and dangerously perceptive for his own good. Once a ghost from her past, now standing in her way. A temporary professor with a clever tongue, a fortune built on his own terms, and a smirk that makes her blood boil. Everyone wants to unravel his mystery, but the only puzzle he's interested in is Vera.
The more she tries to push him away, the more he gets under her skin. Because Lawrence doesn't just see the polished version of her that the world expects. He sees the fire she's buried. The hunger she tries to ignore. And worst of all, he looks at her like he still knows her.
She can't afford to let him in.
But in a game of ambition, power, and a past neither of them can outrun... the line between love and hate has never been thinner.

Our Different Worlds
Evelyn Pierce has always known what it means to work for everything she has. Raised in a humble family, she's determined to make her mark as a journalist, focused on her studies and future. Then she meets Alex Beaumont, a brooding, charismatic heir to one of the wealthiest families in the city-a world she's only ever observed from the outside. Alex has been groomed to follow his father's plans, but he's hiding a creative soul and a longing for freedom beneath his privileged exterior. When Alex and Evelyn's paths cross at university, they're instantly drawn to one another, but their worlds couldn't be more different. Against the backdrop of lavish parties, family expectations, and a ruthless social elite, their growing connection becomes a rebellion in itself. Alex is captivated by Evelyn's strength and resilience, and she begins to see the person he hides from the world-the artist, the dreamer, the man he wants to be. But as their bond deepens, so do the stakes. With Alex's father controlling every aspect of his future and society watching their every move, they're forced to confront how far they're willing to go to be together. Our Different Worlds is a story of passion and defiance, a romance that crosses class boundaries, and a journey of finding courage to pursue the life-and love-that feels true.Completa

In return, the company demands an unusual form of settlement: the CEO responsible must marry their CEO until the debt is cleared. To protect Aria, their parents make a secret decision.

Never Have I Ever (Games We Play, #1)
What if Romeo and Juliet never fell in love at first sight, but slowly, without knowing each other's family histories? And what if the Montagues and the Capulets weren't noble families, but cruel crime families? Never Have I Ever is a dual-POV character-driven contemporary novel with romance and crime elements. It is the first one of the Games We Play series. It reimagines the doomed-romance-because-of-rival-families of Romeo & Juliet, in a contemporary setting similar to the Daisy Haites series, and blends it with the moral conflict and family dynamics of the Godfather, where the internal character struggle between self and legacy slowly (but ultimately) leads to moral decay. *In the summer of 2019, the sheltered daughter of a Russian oligarch meets the gilded heir of the Sicilian underworld, sparking an attraction that will test their loyalties and awaken buried grudges.* Rule #1: The game of power is won by those brave enough to play it ---- A slow burn mafia romance series, in which the heirs of two rival crime families are drawn into the deadly game for power, in a world where loyalty is written in blood, secrets are currency, and love is a liability. Very loosely based on the idea of a mix between Romeo & Juliet and The Godfather, aka there are two rival families with two rival heirs who do (eventually) fall in love for real, all while struggling with the realities of being born into a crime dynasty.
