Rules For Not Falling

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.

"𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞" [ BOOK - 1 ]
Lyra Ainsley is just a regular college student or at least, that's what she thought. Since she was ten years old, she's been having the same strange dreams over and over again. In them, she sees two people: one is a king, and the other is a warrior. But it's always the king who stands out. She dreams of dancing with him, talking with him, feeling completely safe by his side. For years, Lyra convinced herself it was all just her imagination. That is, until she started college and saw him. The king from her dreams. He was real. His name? Adrian Caellum Virell. A fellow student at her university. From that moment, her world turned upside down. She realized those dreams weren't just dreams. They were memories. Pieces of something real. Something from the past. But then... there's the warrior. The one she barely remembers. His face never appeared clearly, and his presence in her dreams was always quick, like a whisper. Unlike the king, she doesn't feel the need to search for him. Maybe because he's still a stranger in her mind. Will she ever meet the warrior in real life? Or will she let him go, and stay with the king who feels so familiar? Why is she even having these dreams in the first place? Is it truly her past she's remembering or something her heart made up to fill a void? And if it is her past... what really happened back then? What's the reason she's seeing it all now? She doesn't know yet. But soon, she will.Complete

Prescription for Love
Love Nile Alverion has always lived life on her own terms. A dedicated Filipina nurse with wit as sharp as her tongue, she has never once dreamed of marriage-much less to a man chosen by her parents. When she is forced to leave her home in the Philippines for France under the guise of an arranged marriage, she braces herself for disappointment and disaster. What she did not expect was Dr. Zayne Renz Ivreloux-the renowned young doctor admired for his brilliance, envied for his looks, and desired by almost every nurse in the hospital. 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. But just as Love Nile begins to feel her carefully guarded walls crumble, whispers of doubt start to creep in. Small misunderstandings, careless words, and shadows of the past threaten to pull them apart, testing the trust and connection they've built. What begins as an impossible arrangement evolves into a clash of pride, humor, and unexpected warmth. 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?
