Im Endstadium meines Nierenversagens wurde die für mich passende Spenderniere – auf Entscheidung meines Mannes – meiner Schwester gegeben. Ich lehnte den Vorschlag der Ärzte ab, weiter auf ein passendes Organ zu warten, und ließ mich frühzeitig aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen. Wenn die Enttäuschung lange genug andauert, hört man auf zu kämpfen. All mein angespartes Vermögen übergab ich meiner Schwester – endlich lächelten mich meine Eltern wieder an. Mein Mann kümmerte sich Tag und Nacht um sie. Ich war nicht wütend – im Gegenteil, ich ermahnte ihn, besonders fürsorglich zu sein. Sogar als mein Sohn sagte, er wolle, dass sie seine Mama sei, lächelte ich und stimmte zu. Jetzt ist alles so, wie sie es wollten. Warum bereuen sie es auf einmal?

George Milton took me eight times in a single night. By the ninth, his hand gripped my waist, his voice rough with satisfaction as he rasped, "Baby, I want you to use that innocent-but-sexy look you've got to go seduce Jordan." My entire body went rigid. Then I found out—George's first love, Sarah Byrnes, had been ditched by Jordan Baker, leaving her heartbroken. He wanted me to take revenge for her, to make Jordan taste the agony of being abandoned by the one he loved. After my family had gone bankrupt, I was delivered straight to George's bed. Naively, I believed he treated me differently. After all, I had been the woman at his side the longest. But he only sneered. "The reason I keep you is because you look like Sarah. She's hurting. Now it's your turn to do your part. With reddened eyes, I agreed, swallowing every foolish hope I should never have harbored. Soon, I captured the aloof and untouchable Jordan's heart. And for the first time, George lost control. He wept as he begged, "Catelyn, I regret it. Come back to me, please?"

As the right-hand person to the marketing manager, Rossa must deal with a director from a rival company who, ironically, happens to be someone she strongly dislikes. Rosamund Parks was on vacation with some friends on an exotic island when a group of thugs kidnapped her and sold her to a cheap brothel on the outskirts of town, which then sent her to an underground auction. When Francesco (Franco) Tenaglia, a CEO boss, won the auction, he was about to enjoy Rossa's body when an incident thwarted his intentions. Rossa woke up the next day and could still remember the mobster's handsome face, but never in her heart wished to see him again. When the company Rossa works for, faced a tricky situation with a long-established rival company, she was sent to negotiate with them to solve the problem. And when she discovered that the CEO of the rival company was Franco, she had to choose between her freedom and her job. Would she choose herself over her job? Or would she choose the latter and risk Franco's continued dominance?

Kirana Catalunia tidak pernah membayangkan akan menginjakkan kaki di Paris—apalagi dengan beasiswa bergengsi yang diidamkan banyak orang. Ya, Tuhan memang baik. Atau... mungkin sedang mempermainkannya. Paris katanya kota cinta. Tapi Kirana tidak datang untuk cinta. Ia datang untuk bertahan hidup, bermimpi, dan membuktikan bahwa perempuan tidak perlu laki-laki untuk merasa utuh. Bahwa ia berhak punya kendali atas dirinya sendiri. Paris mungkin kota pilihan terakhir Kirana yang dipikirkan untuknya melarikan diri. Dari masa lalu yang terlalu erat mengikat. Dari cinta dua belas tahun-nya yang kandas. Dari orang-orang yang terus bertanya: “Kenapa kamu tinggalkan Andra Logan?”. Orang-orang tidak tahu kalau dalam hati kecilnya, Kirana —ia masih tidak bisa lepas dari nama Andra Logdan. Tapi ia sadar, keputusannya hanya bisa membuatnya mencintai dalam diam. Dulu semua yakin: Kirana dan Andra akan menikah. Dia pria ideal—pintar, romantis, dan stabil. Tapi Kirana memilih pergi. Dan sekarang, semua orang mengira dia bodoh karena begitu Kirana menapakkan diri di Paris, ia mendapati kabar kalau Andra akan menikah dengan wanita lain bulan depan. Sakit bukan main. Oleh karena itu, saat ini Kirana ingin menjauh sejauh mungkin dari semua yang berbau asmara. Kalau bisa ke Antartika. Tapi takdir justru mengirimnya ke negeri croissant dan kental akan romansa—Prancis. Dan menghadiahinya kejutan lain: tetangga masa kecil yang menyebalkan, Haris. Kirana sudah bersumpah tidak akan jatuh cinta lagi. Tapi Paris—dan takdir—punya cara sendiri untuk menertawakan sumpah-sumpah seperti itu.
