When the heart refuses to follow the rules... or mom.

Alzar Janssen has (almost) everything: an elite family that demands perfection, a flawless future already mapped out, and a babysitter far too gorgeous for her own peace of mind. Amber Davis isn't just an artist, a rebel, and a coffee addict-she's everything Alzar has been told never to want.

What begins as a tense coexistence filled with rules-"no feelings, just paint and schedules"-spirals into an emotional roller coaster where every glance matters, every touch ignites doubt, and every secret threatens to explode. Between controlling parents, intense friendships, charming rivals, and a music career that could change everything, Alzar must choose between the life expected of her... and the life she truly desires.

Because sometimes love isn't shouted. Sometimes it's just felt.
And sometimes... it's almost like love.

School has been hard for her lately without being with her mom or dad, that moved all the way across the country, just so they could get away from what was happening to their marriage. She's never been so alone, and neglected by her parents love, though they barely even raised her right. She basically taught herself how to eat. Vance Ramsey is Lee's father, who's marriage failed when his ex-wife cheated on him with his best friend. Now Lee is helping his father find a new girlfriend. That wouldn't be easy at age fourty-two. Especially since Vance has his eye on one girl in particular. When Dorothea meets Vance at Lee's wedding, she never thought she'd find herself wanting more than just talking with him. But that's weird? Dorothea is Lee's best friend, but yet falling in love with his dad? Dorothea always prayed to the stars to find her soulmate, but what she didn't know was that he was right under her nose the whole time. But now, the story is about to begin. Full of lies, secrets, sex, finding yourself and finding love. You'll start to rethink the stereotype of two people the same age belonging together. Let's call it, love from the forbidden...

Sophia loves reading, she doesn't believe someone can love her the way the men in her books love their women. She came to terms with the fact she'll probably stay single forever. Until her parents force her to go to a beach house in south of France, with her dad's best friend she never met before. What she didn't expect was her fathers friend to be 32 and looking like a Greek god carved by michelangelo, he's like a man taken from her books, attractive and morally grey tho he isn't so cold hearted. Christian tries staying away, but he just can't, she's like a drug. Forbidden and sweet. Christian is a workaholic, he doesn't have time for dating or relationships, he likes his woman experienced and only one time. But when he decides to invite his best friend and his family he didn't expect his friends daughter to look like a god damn angel sent from heaven. He knows it's wrong, she's 17 he's 32. She's his best friends daughter, she's his maddest obsession.

When Aarohi Singh loses everything in her life, metaphorically and literally, she finds herself turning to nowhere but her bestfriends house for shelter. For a home. Buried deep within study loans, completing her MBA, and looking for a job, she needs to save the last of her last pennies to at least rent a house in New Delhi. But a job comes with a degree, and there are still six months left for that. The best friend is about to get married, and there's none house better than that of an upcoming wedding one to stay. She can keep her share of secrets, and still live there without having to explain what had went wrong in her life. For how long though is the question when your best friend's brother is not only someone who gets on your nerves, but also someone so beautiful that you can't resist as much as you try. Kabir Verma. Graphical engineer. Living a bachelor's life in Bangalore. A simple sorted guy. At least that's what he thought before meeting Aarohi when he arrived home prior three months for his sister's wedding. He had never thought, any one in the world could make your world of emotions as upside down, as Aarohi did his. And he hated every ounce of it. That's what he told himself anyways, until he had figured out, that he can't keep away from her, and she can't resist him for long. But how long could such a forbidden attraction continue, especially in India. Especially when she's your sister's best friend. Especially when it turns into love. Amidst the celebration of an upcoming wedding, feelings get lost, emotions whirl around, romance turns forbidden, and hearts are found.
