He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

Ein behinderter Mensch ist bestimmt schwer, Liebe zu finden. Helena wurde schwerhörig geboren und von ihrer Mutter verachtet. Nach der Heirat wurde sie von ihrem reichen Ehemann und den Menschen in seiner Umgebung verlacht und beleidigt. Die Ex-Freundin ihres Mannes kam zurück und verkündete vor der ganzen Welt, dass sie alles zurückholen würde. Sie stand vor Helena und prahlte: „Du wirst wahrscheinlich in deinem Leben nie die Aromen der Liebe spüren, richtig? Hat Alex je gesagt, dass er dich liebt? Er sagte es mir oft.“ Helena wurde erst spät damit klar, dass sie sich geirrt hatte. Sie hatte ihre Zuneigung an die falsche Person verschenkt, und sie hätte nie mit jemandem heiraten sollen, der sie nicht liebt. Sie beschloss, zu lassen gehen und Alexander Freiheit zu geben. „Lassen wir uns scheiden, ich habe dich all diese Jahre behindert.“ Aber Alexander wollte das nicht. „Du willst scheiden? Das passiert erst, wenn ich tot bin!“

Lena Müller war drei Jahre mit Otto Welfen verheiratet, doch sie konnte nicht gegen seine erste Liebe ankommen, die er seit zehn Jahren im Herzen trug.

Ihr Vater lag nach einem Autounfall im Koma und sie, ohne Lebenswillen, sprang von einem Hochhaus. „Ein Leben schuldete dir die Familie Müller. Mit meinem habe ich es zurückgezahlt.“ Der sonst so zurückhaltende und stolze Herr Welfen kniete mit blutunterlaufenen Augen auf dem Boden und flehte wie wahnsinnig immer und immer wieder: „Komm zurück! Bitte, komm zurück!“
