The fate of "Vesper," her family's bespoke fashion house, rests on Maya's shoulders. With a legacy built on generations of artistry, their beautiful designs are no match for a ruthless market, and now their company is on the brink of ruin. Her only hope is a partnership with Julian Sterling, the city's most powerful and notoriously arrogant CEO.
Julian Sterling built his empire on logic and numbers, with no room for sentiment. He sees Maya's passion as a weakness and her family's craftsmanship as nothing more than a "quaint" business model doomed to fail. When Maya dares to challenge his cold indifference, he offers her a cruel deal: abandon her studio and become his personal assistant for three months. If she can survive in his world and prove her worth, he'll consider saving her family's business.
Trapped in the sterile, high-stakes world of Sterling Industries, Maya finds herself constantly clashing with her infuriating new boss. But as their battles escalate, the undeniable tension between them begins to shift. Can Julian's arrogant heart be won over by her fire and creativity, or will her family's legacy become a final casualty of his power?

Honeymoon Rivals
Tessa Sinclair always imagined her wedding day would be perfect-with a few manageable glitches. But nothing could have prepared her for walking in on her fiancé and her best friend minutes before saying "I do." Her world shatters in an instant. Her soulmate? A liar. Her lifelong best friend? A backstabber. And as if the universe wasn't cruel enough, Nathaniel Ford-her arch-nemesis since middle school-is standing right beside her, watching his own dreams crumble. Because Nathaniel was supposed to marry Lauren-the backstabbing best friend. Two weddings, two betrayals, and one giant catastrophe later, Tessa and Nathaniel are left humiliated at the altar while their exes ride off into the sunset together. But just when she thinks things can't get worse, she discovers the final punchline: The ultra-luxurious, all-expenses-paid honeymoon in Bali? Non-refundable. And guess who plans to use it? Brad and Lauren. Absolutely not. Determined to not let the cheaters win, Tessa and Nathaniel make a spiteful, impulsive decision-they're taking the honeymoon instead. Together. But sharing an overwater villa with her mortal enemy comes with complications. Between fighting over the master suite, petty sabotage, and a series of unfortunate (yet strangely romantic) mishaps, Tessa and Nathaniel soon find themselves in a different kind of trouble. Because somewhere between stolen cabanas and staged fake honeymoon photos meant to torment their exes... the hate starts feeling a little too much like something else. Enemies. Betrayed lovers. Unwilling honeymooners. Will their romantic getaway end in disaster-or in something neither of them ever saw coming?
