Aurora Zahra never believed in fate-only in hard work and the quiet satisfaction of running her café, HaeBakes. But when a stranger walks through her doors one morning, something shifts. There's a familiarity in his gaze, a fleeting sense of recognition she can't shake.
Will Poulter has spent years in the spotlight, but beneath the flashing cameras and red carpets, there's always been an emptiness he couldn't name. Then, one ordinary morning, he meets a woman who feels like a memory he should remember.
Drawn to each other yet unable to place why, their lives intertwine in ways neither expected. But when the shadows of their pasts resurface-and an unseen danger begins to close in-Aurora and Will are forced to confront the truth that's been waiting beneath the surface all along.
Some connections are impossible to ignore.
Some fates refuse to be rewritten.

Little Miss Hellfire
Revenge at your service... Angelica Knowles runs Best Served Cold Inc., a sleek, off-the-grid revenge agency for women who've been wronged. Known in feminist circles as Little Miss Hellfire, she's a legend in lipstick--strategist, saboteur, and sarcastic saint. So when freshly fired Claudia Pilgrim-an ex-employee of Slate Capital-shows up with a story of workplace discrimination and a sexist dress code, Angelica sets her sights on the obvious villain: Damian Slate-the infuriatingly gorgeous, devilishly narcissistic CEO with a God complex. Her mission? Infiltrate his company as his new assistant. Unravel his weakness. Destroy him. Simple-until Damian unexpectedly recruits her to pose as his fiancée at his sister's high-profile wedding in Lake Como, hoping to win his father's approval and cement his place as heir. Because nothing says heir apparent like arriving with a woman who looks like she eats billionaires for brunch. Now Angelica's knee-deep in luxury lies, legacy power plays, and dangerously public hand-holding. And the worst part? Damian might not be the heartless villain she expected-he might actually be a person-with depth, feelings, and dimples. What began as sabotage is starting to look suspiciously like chemistry. And with her client's dignity, her agency's future, and her own carefully guarded heart on the line, Angelica must choose: take him down... or risk falling for the man she swore to ruin.Complete
