Lyra Dumas has three rules:
1. Don't get attached.
2. Don't let anyone in.
3. And whatever you do - never fall in love.
At eighteen, she lands a dream internship at Luméa, Paris's most exclusive event agency. She's determined to keep her heart locked up and her focus sharp. This summer is about building her future - not chasing fairytales.
Enter Eliott Moreau: arrogant, dangerously charming, and annoyingly good with a camera. He's the creative director's nephew and everything she promised herself she'd stay away from. Too intense. Too confident. Too... complicated.
He thinks he knows her.
She's sure she hates him.
But in a city made for love, the real risk isn't falling - it's what happens when you refuse to.
A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance filled with sharp banter, rooftop kisses, and secrets no one sees coming.

BLUSH & BERETS - #1 Steamy in Paris series
2025 AMBYS FAVORITE LUCY RHODES has it all--the house, the job, and the hot husband--until she finds said husband in HER bed with someone else. ***** After finding her businessman/shark husband cheating on her, Lucy gets a well-timed opportunity for a promotion in her skincare & makeup company, of which she's the L.A. Branch Director of Sales. Only problem is, it would involve relocating to Paris, France, learning the language, and giving a stellar presentation to the retiring president of the French branch, whose job she's applying for. On a whim--and hoping for closure and distance from her ex--she packs up and leaves, arriving in Paris not as a tourist, but as a future resident. Except her experience doesn't start out well, and the French branch of her company operates much differently than what she's used to in L.A. And her main competitor for the position? A handsome snake, the Parisian Director of Sales, who was all but promised the promotion. On top of all that, she discovers things about herself she didn't know; like how she isn't as *straight* as she thought, and living in Paris is bringing out the unhinged, rebellious sides she wasn't aware she hid inside. Can Lucy settle in and adapt to her new life, all while vying for a position that might be slightly out of reach for her? And can she do so without breaking any rules--such as starting secret and forbidden office romances? BOOK ONE of the STEAMY IN PARIS series ♥Complete

Cold, disciplined, and seemingly untouchable, Zayne is stunned to discover that his fiancée is not only uninterested in him, but a woman who openly claims her heart belongs to women. Instead of calling off the engagement, Zayne delays the wedding, quietly determined to challenge her resolve. With only a few months left before leaving the medical field to take over his father's company as CEO, he treats their arranged engagement as his most personal challenge yet.

And in the City of Love, where chance encounters often turn into destiny, Love Nile and Zayne must face the question neither of them ever thought they would ask: can a forced union heal hearts that have long sworn never to belong?
