Project Eden Garden Characters

Brielle Hartley swore she’d never return to Willow Creek, the small town packed with too many memories and one infuriating man she hoped to forget. But when her mother needs help, Brielle is forced back home—only to discover that the first person she runs into is the last man she ever wanted to see: Jaxon Reed, the boy who spent their senior year getting under her skin…and apparently still has the talent. Now older, broader, and annoyingly irresistible,Jaxon has become a respected volunteer in the community. But he hasn’t changed his habit of poking at Brielle’s nerves. Their reunion strikes immediate sparks some angry, some dangerously magnetic. What begins as avoidance turns into constant collisions: at the farmers market, around town, and eventually at the community garden project they’re roped into running together. With every stubborn argument and every unexpected moment of softness, the walls between them weaken. Tension turns into chemistry, chemistry into longing, and longing into something neither of them wants to admit. As Brielle fights the pull she feels toward the man she once despised, Jaxon battles with the guilt of the past and the fear that he’s already blown his second chance. What they don’t realize is that the very history that pushed them apart may be the key to bringing them together. Enemies? Absolutely. Attraction? Undeniable. Love? Inevitable…if they’re brave enough to take it.

I paid Curtis Robinett 200 thousand dollars a month to be a standby blood donor. My fiancée, Eden May, thought it was a waste of money. So she reassigned him to work part-time as her personal assistant instead. When Curtis accidentally submitted my marriage license appointment as a divorce filing for the 99th time, I kicked open Eden's office door. She didn't even look up. "We're in no rush to get married anyway," she said calmly. "Curtis is just careless. That's how he's always been." Later, in the emergency room, I called Eden while doctors rushed around me, my throat shredded from yelling. "Where's my emergency medical kit?" I rasped. "What did you do with it?" Curtis answered instead, his voice warm and smug. "You mean the expensive leather bag you kept in the cabinet? I swapped it out for a large party snack box. It holds everything just fine, and honestly, it looks a lot more cheerful. "Ms. May's brother and sister-in-law are both career soldiers. Your bag didn't really match that image, so I thought this would be more appropriate." My vision dimmed. My hands shook as I told Curtis to come donate blood. Eden laughed softly and cut in, "Stop pretending you're anemic just to get attention. If you're actually sick, deal with it. You're at the hospital; I think the doctors are fully capable of keeping you alive. Curtis is afraid of needles. He's not coming." Then, she hung up. She didn't appear until the surgical lights finally went dark. "Curtis had me bring you chocolate milk," she said. "It's good for recovery. It's not that he didn't want to help. He just faints at the sight of blood." She placed a settlement waiver on my bed. "I was the one who told him not to come. That 200-thousand-dollar monthly salary is his pay as my assistant. It has nothing to do with you. You didn't have to call the police for that. Sign this, and I'll go get the marriage license with you." I thought of what I had just seen in the operating room. Eden's brother, Harvey May, was bleeding out on the operating table, waiting for a lifesaving drug that never came. In the final moments of surgery, he could do nothing but lie there and die. I looked at her and said evenly, "You're the immediate family. It's not my place to sign that."

Au lycée, Eden est tout ce que les autres admirent sans effort. Brillant, souriant, charismatique, héritier d’une famille puissante, il réussit aussi bien en cours que dans les concours académiques qu’il enchaîne avec une facilité agaçante. À l’opposé, Maëlys est discrète, acerbe, brillante elle aussi, mais profondément méfiante envers les garçons comme lui. Pour elle, Eden représente tout ce qu’elle déteste : l’arrogance déguisée en gentillesse et les privilèges hérités. Contraints de collaborer lors de compétitions intellectuelles, leurs échanges sont d’abord tendus, ironiques, parfois cruels. Pourtant, derrière les apparences, une compréhension inattendue naît entre eux. Lentement. Maladroitement. Mais un événement traumatisant vient briser l’équilibre fragile qu’Eden avait construit. Une nuit, un choix, une faute ou une perte irréversible l’obligent à quitter le pays, laissant derrière lui son passé, ses promesses et une relation inachevée. Des années plus tard, Eden revient. Il n’est plus le garçon souriant du lycée. Il est devenu un PDG redouté, froid, méthodique, héritier assumé d’un empire familial. Le monde le respecte, certains le craignent. Lui, ne ressent presque plus rien. Lorsqu’il recroise Maëlys, désormais femme, il ne la reconnaît pas. Elle, en revanche, reconnaît immédiatement l’ombre du garçon qu’elle a connu. Entre non-dits, rancœurs enfouies et vérités étouffées, leurs chemins se croisent à nouveau, forçant Eden à affronter ce qu’il a fui : son passé, ses blessures, et la personne qu’il était avant de devenir une ombre de lui-même.

When she wakes up from a coma and finds that she has married the man she hates so much, Eden is furious. She didn't believe Aciel and accused the man of deceiving her. She couldn't possibly have married a rich man with a rotten heart like Aciel. That man had ruined her life, separated her from the man she loved and made her life miserable. Eden had absolutely no recollection of ever being married to Aciel. She remembered that she was engaged to Anthony and would marry him in the near future. But another surprise then hit Eden. Suddenly she was called mommy by a four year old little girl named Ciara and she also had a newborn baby named Louise. Eden didn't believe Aciel's words at all that they were married. She vowed to expose all of Aciel's ugliness and return to her fiancé as soon as possible. She will also find Ciara and Louise's real parents. Why is it so hard to give love to you? But... my heart always flutters whenever I'm near you. Could I ever love you? –Eden- Even though you forgot your love for me, but I'm sure that one day you will come back to me. Because your heart only beats for me. –Aciel-

"Keep your hands on the fucking desk." His voice is dark, as he presses my palm against the desk bending me over, his c*ck burying deep inside. "You like that?" he whispers against my ear. I whimper and arch my back further, trying to take him deeper despite the pain. I never thought I'd like this sort of thing, never thought I'd even try it. But here's Harlan, opening me up to a world of pleasure and vulgarity that I didn't even know existed, and fuck, it hurts, but it's so fucking good, I can't imagine stopping. "Yes," I breathe. He slaps me harder. His palm lands against the side of my face with an obscene smack that makes me feel sick and delighted and dirty all at once. I moan as he draws me closer to release. “Yes, what?!” he demands, pulling me up by my hair. “Yes, professor.” ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Eden Shaw craves more than straight A's... she hungers for the forbidden gaze of her brooding professor, Harlan. What starts as stolen glances ignites into a dangerous game of dominance and desire, where every lecture hides a secret touch and every grade comes with a price. But when Eden uncovers Harlan's hidden past as Ethan Hale, heir to a fractured legacy, their illicit affair is endangered. In a world of powerplays and buried truths, can Eden submit to the man who owns her body... before he claims her heart? Because Harlan's past is not just painful, it's dangerous, and Eden is about to find out that loving him means entering a world she was never supposed to see. A world full of secrets. A name he no longer claims. And a choice that could destroy them both. ~ She wanted to impress him. Now she may have to save him.
