Josh Hart Braids

Elias Rourke was more than a billionaire he was a tempest in a custom-fitted suit. As the CEO of Rourke Enterprises a bachelor, he was known for his icy effectiveness, merciless transactions, and total absence of emotion. Everyone referred to him as “Ice King” when he wasn't around. Up until her. Chloe Hart had worked as his secretary for slightly more than two weeks. Timid, kind-hearted, and excessively courteous, she was the type of woman who kept track of birthdays, tended to plants, and uttered "please" to the coffee maker. Elias hardly paid attention to her,until the morning she entered his office unannounced. “I apologize for the interruption,” she said, her voice shaking, “but you haven’t had anything to eat today.” "It's nearly four." He looked at her, irritated. “That’s none of your business.” “I prepared a sandwich for you.” She places it on his desk and walks away before he has a chance to reply to her. Even with how rude he is to her, she brings him homemade meals everyday and lavender tea after tough meetings. He started to notice little details about her, the way she played with her necklace when anxious, she shows no emotions even when he yells at her. One day, he sees himself approaching her desk not to order her around, but to ask her about her well being. When a scandal almost destroys Elias’s empire. She stays by his side, not out of obligation, but because she trusted him. He looked at her and whispered, “You are the gentleness in my whole existence." "I don't know how to show emotions, but I will learn just for you." Chloe smiled, looking at him and said "Steel is capable of melting, Elias." "Even kings can experience love."

Emily Carter was the quiet girl no one noticed. She lived in the shadows, buried in books, dreaming of love she thought she would never have. Then Ayden Cole, the golden boy of her college, made her believe she finally mattered. He made her laugh, made her dream, made her fall. But it was all a lie. A cruel bet. A game to humiliate her in front of the world. One night of betrayal destroyed Emily. One fall from the bridge should have ended her story. But fate had other plans. She was saved by Jaxon Reed, a dangerous biker with secrets in his eyes. She was remade by Victor Blackwood, the ruthless mafia king who ruled the city with fear and fire. “You can die as Emily Hart… or be reborn as someone no one dares to touch...” Victor told her, and she chose rebirth, when Emily looked in the mirror again, she was no longer Emily Carter. She was Scarlett. Bold. Beautiful. Untouchable. Back on campus, no one knows who she really is. Not Ayden, who suddenly wants the girl he cannot have. Not Kelsey, the ex-bully who feels her crown slipping. But Jaxon—the man who saved her, knows, and so does Victor: cold, powerful, twice her age. He should have stayed away, but the more he tries to resist her, the more he burns. Scarlett came back for revenge, but the game is no longer simple. Desire is dangerous. Enemies circle closer. Love feels like a loaded gun in the wrong hands. And in the end, Scarlett must choose, between the boy who broke her, the biker who saved her, and the mafia king who might destroy her heart… But what if the real danger is not losing herself to revenge, but to love, or maybe desire?

Chloe Hart a travaillé pendant des années en tant que nettoyeuse discrète et invisible de la suite supérieure de la famille Sinclair - l'espace privé de Sebastian Sinclair, l'héritier arrogant du plus grand empire hôtelier de la ville. Elle a couvert ses secrets, effacé les preuves de ses affaires et l'a tranquillement aimé en secret. Mais une nuit ivre change tout. Lorsque Chloé l'aide à échapper à un scandale public, ils finissent par passer la nuit ensemble. Le lendemain matin, il lui jette de l'argent, prenant son soin pour une transaction. Humiliée et le cœur brisé, Chloé continue son travail jusqu'à ce qu'une petite amie jalouse attaque Sebastian, et qu'elle soit blâmée et licenciée. Des mois plus tard, Chloé découvre qu'elle est enceinte. Pendant ce temps, le père mourant de Sebastian lui demande de produire un héritier ou de tout perdre au rien de la famille de son oncle. Leurs mondes se heurtent à nouveau lorsque Sebastian la trouve dans une pharmacie - sur le point de mettre fin à sa grossesse. Il propose un mariage contractuel : elle porte l'enfant, et en retour, il paie pour l'opération de son petit frère. Ce qui commence comme un arrangement sans amour se transforme lentement en quelque chose de réel, alors que Sebastian commence à voir la femme qu'il a autrefois négligée. Mais la cruauté de sa famille, et un ex manipulateur, menace de les déchirer. De la femme de chambre de l'hôtel qu'il a ignorée à la femme sans laquelle il ne peut pas vivre, l'histoire de Chloé est la preuve que parfois, l'amour s'élève des cendres de la trahison.
