Rekindling a childhood friendship should never be this difficult.
Angie and Sera (Serafino) learn that rekindling a childhood friendship is more than remembering the past. It is about accepting each other's new and different lifestyles.
When Sera reconnects with Angie, he stumbles into a once lost childhood relationship. They came from fractured families and were inseparable as children on the streets of Naples, but now they travel in different worlds. Sera is an itinerant musician, Angie is a fashion model. They meet in Madrid nineteen years after an unfortunate parting, and attempt to adapt to each other's new worlds. What neither one counts on are the obstacles placed in their way.
Sera lives within his means. His friends are the bar owners who give him work, and the kindred spirits on the streets. Angie discovers his new lifestyle when she accompanies him to gigs in Spain. She also meets the people that are part of his life, and finds it easy to accept their relaxed culture.
When Angie's friends turn up at a music festival in Barcelona, the serene atmosphere that she and Sera enjoy is challenged. They accept an offer of a lift to Angie's next assignment in Portofino. On their travel through France, Sera realizes Angie now lives a glamorous lifestyle. Her friends are pretentious, and he feels out of place.
They come to realize their lifestyles are incompatible, and it becomes a battle to see whether Angie and Sera's relationship will survive during their angst-filled journey. They begin to wonder whether they can remain friends after their chance meeting. Is there any possibility that they will rediscover their roots?
They find the answers on their travel through Spain, France and Italy; while they are embroiled in the passion of romance, music, and the exotic locations they visit.
This is a love story littered with angst. A taciturn hero who expresses himself best through music, and a heroine whose warmth strives to conquer all obstacles.

Not So Hot Girls Summer
Not So Hot Girls Summer follows three best friends on the last of their summer holidays before starting in their careers. Amelie, Maddie and Frankie have been friends since they were children and now they have graduated from university, they are ready for their final weeks of freedom, this year with celebrations taking place in Bali. But all is not as glamorous as social media portrays. Each of the girls are complicated and with each of them keeping their issues under wraps, they begin to build their own warped perceptions on one another (don't worry, the omniscient narrator reveals all). Amelie is a relatable character for many millennials. She suffers from social anxiety, fearing awkward situations and questioning everyone's intentions. From her perspective, she already believes that she will be left behind after summer, with Maddie and Frankie phasing her out. But she's wrong. The narrative she has built in her own mind is nothing far from the truth. Maddie does care. In fact, Maddie cares more than anyone. She is the only one to have organised anything to ensure they have the most memorable last few weeks before entering the working world, even when she is secretively dealing with her own issues. It is Frankie that can't be trusted. She is the lost soul of the group who has adopted a mentality of no longer caring. Whilst some may view her carefree perspective as admirable, it is this outlook that is leading her to dangerous waters. But with each of the girls personally dealing with their struggles, it doesn't take long before the holiday turns into emotional chaos, especially when boys become involved. AmelieComplete

I kneel in front of him and instantly unbuckle his belt and unzip his black pants. He watches me eagerly from above, keeping his hands to his side, letting me lead.

"I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me."

Falling for the Last Person I'd Ever Love... And Yet
What if a cat and a dog tolerate each other? Not in peace--obviously--but in wildly dysfunctional harmony. That's Seraphina and Kai-she strikes first with chaos and claws, he retaliates with passive-aggressive sarcasm and emotional warfare. It's not a romance. It's a tactical battlefield with feelings. For as long as they can remember, Seraphina Voss and Kai Sterling have been locked in elite-level rivalry. Not the flirty kind. No---this is cold-war chaos between two rich kids raised like family (ew), trapped in the same social circles (double ew), and trained in the fine art of mutual sabotage. But when one dramatic arrest pushes their families over the edge, they're given the worst punishment imaginable: working together. In the same office. With real jobs. Corporate hell---but make it personal. To make matters worse, they've both caught feelings for other people. Desperate to escape each other and this soul-sucking job, they strike a deal: Seraphina helps Kai win his "perfect" girl. Kai plays wingman for Seraphina's dream guy. Clean. Simple. Foolproof. Until it all starts falling apart, thanks to office warfare, many "accidental" double dates, and emotionally violent wars in silence. Because somewhere between strategic humiliation and whatever emotionally compromising event just went down, they might be falling for the one person they hate the most. And it's not about who falls first. It's how they fall. ⚠️ Contains verbal combat, morally questionable pranks, dangerously slow-burning tension, and at least one chair thrown in the name of love. © Hazel Brown. All rights reserved.
