Emma thought moving with her best friend Mia to New Zealand for three months would be a fresh start-a chance to escape city life, recharge after a grueling final semester, and support Mia through the visa process. She didn't expect farm life, early mornings, or being completely out of her comfort zone.
And she certainly didn't expect to share a home with Mia's brother-the one she'd never met, who left a trail of rumors, mysterious objects, and first impressions that made him impossible to like.
He's infuriating. Irresistible. And slowly breaking down every wall Emma's built around her heart.
In a place where everything is unfamiliar, Emma's world will turn upside down. she will have to confront change, independence, and feelings she never knew she could feel. Three months, one brother, and one best friend will change everything.

The Deadline | 18+ Version | English
One office. Tree Days to get the job done. And to make it even worse - I have to work with my biggest enemy. Mia is a team lead at a software development startup. She doesn't just love her job - she also adores all of her coworkers. And even more importantly, everyone loves her back. Everyone except Noah. He's another team lead at the company, and he seems completely immune to her friendliness. Mia has no idea why, but no matter how hard she tries, befriending him has been utterly impossible. Normally, that's not much of an issue. They only cross paths occasionally. And when they do, it's as if they've made an unspoken agreement: keep as much distance as humanly possible. But then a mistake forces them to spend the next 72 hours working together. In the same office. A nightmare for both of them ... or maybe something else?
