Kristine Duncan has spent the last eight years building her career in luxury hotel management, turning five-star dreams into reality. But behind the pristine lobby smiles and polished boardroom suits is a woman torn between the career she deserves and the relationship she's afraid to outgrow.
Jarred Harper-actor, director, and the man she thought she'd spend forever with-can't seem to handle her rising success. And when a long-awaited promotion tests her loyalty, Kristine is forced to confront the truth: some love stories can't keep up with the pace of your ambition.
When a chance encounter brings her face-to-face with a world-famous F1 driver who's racing from something of his own, Kristine's carefully controlled life is about to spin out of control-in the best possible way.

For a young architect trying to prove herself, it's the commission of a lifetime. But what begins as a professional challenge soon becomes far more complicated. George Russell has it all-talent, fame, and the perfect girlfriend by his side. At least, that's what the world sees. Behind closed doors, in late-night design sessions and stolen conversations, Charlotte discovers the man beneath the polished surface: vulnerable, thoughtful, yearning for something he can't quite name. Boundaries blur. Lines are crossed. The blueprint of George's new home becomes the blueprint of a desire neither of them expected-and neither of them can ignore. In a world where reputations mean everything, how much are they willing to risk for a chance at something real?Complete
Beneath the Monegasque Sun
Book 1/2 When 24-year-old Seraya Müller moves from Switzerland to Monaco in search of a quieter life, the last thing she expects is to catch the attention of Charles Leclerc - Formula 1's golden boy.

But Charles isn't the man the media paints him to be. And Seraya isn't the girl who wants to be saved. In a slow-burning, emotionally rich story about trust, healing, and the spaces in between, Beneath the Monegasque Sun explores what happens when two very different lives begin to quietly orbit each other - not with a bang, but with a breath.
