Elle Bennett and Cassie Reed have been inseparable since the day they were born. Bound by friendship, family, shared memories, and many rules - but there’s one rule that mattered more than all the others: your best friend’s brother is off-limits. For years, keeping that promise was easy - especially when Noah treated Elle like a little sister, and she, her big brother. During his final year and her 10th grade at Brookridge High School, something shifts, and what begins as quiet and confusing soon turns into something neither of them can deny. Breaking this one rule could cost Elle not just her first love, but the most important friendship she has ever known.

It had been a long time since I last visited my Aunt's house in Luxembourg. I couldn't help it. I was too engrossed with my volunteer work in a recently earthquake-devastated country. When finally I decided to visit her, all thoughts of relaxation and freedom flew out of the window.I never thought that my daily stay in her mansion would turn out to be something more...more than unbearable, and it all stemmed to a certain man - the head butler - specifically too attentive of me and by that, I meant sleepless nights, moans and groans and a promise of an unconditional love.Being personally served by someone sure spells heaven, but not when the person actually serving me was the Demon Prince of Lust himself.All Rights ReservedJMFelic Books 2020

I once made a promise to the top actress in the industry. If I publicly proposed to her 99 times on livestreams, she would, on the hundredth, officially launch our relationship.

As she looked on, I lit all one hundred love letters I had ever written for her, as well as the stomach cancer diagnosis I had hidden inside. “There will be no 101st time, Miss Ford.”
