Taste Of Love (Love Series #2 || UNDER MAJOR REVISION )
Kavirah Kazmira Virelle is a highly successful businesswoman with an empire of companies scattered across the globe. A self-made billionaire, she has achieved more than most could dream of, yet she has never stopped pursuing her true passion: becoming a renowned professor. Her brilliance and sharp intellect are evident to all who meet her. Graduating with the highest honors and a perfect GWA, Kavirah's academic excellence propelled her to take the necessary steps toward earning her Doctoral Degree. Without hesitation, she faced the challenge head-on, and today, she stands as a respected professor. Known for her icy demeanor, cold composure, and intimidating presence, Kavirah is unbothered by the judgments of others, focusing instead on her own path to success. Avirah Hidalgo, on the other hand, is a young woman who lives a solitary life, shaped by a tragic past. Her parents passed away before she could even take her first steps, and her grandparents, unwilling to care for her, disowned her when she turned 15. Left to fend for herself, Avirah made a solemn promise to survive, no matter the cost. Having never experienced love or trust, she built impenetrable walls around her heart, vowing never to let anyone in. Love, to her, is a mere illusion-something unworthy of belief or hope. She keeps others at arm's length, closing herself off to the world and its potential for pain. What if their paths were destined to cross? What if they discovered love in each other? Would they be willing to make the sacrifices needed to make it work? Are they ready to take the risk, or will they let the chance slip away? Sit back, relax, and let me introduce you to my very first book!Complete
