Léa menait une vie paisible auprès de Thomas, un homme doux et prévisible qu’elle s’apprêtait à épouser. Mais le retour inattendu de Nathan, son frère jumeau au charme ravageur et à l’âme libre, fait éclater son univers bien ordonné. Lors d’une fête organisée en son honneur, Nathan fait une entrée remarquée et dans le cœur de Léa, une faille s’ouvre. Son regard brûlant, ses mots empreints de passion, sa façon de vivre sans limites… tout en lui la déstabilise et l’attire irrésistiblement. Entre raison et désir, loyauté et tentation, Léa vacille. Et si le véritable amour ne se trouvait pas là où elle l’avait toujours cru ? Quand deux cœurs battent à contretemps… lequel faut-il écouter ?

“Get out of my life, I do not need a woman like you” Thomas said as he threw the divorce papers at me after I had caught him with his ex-girlfriend a few times. My life was turned upside down when my husband rejected me and his unborn child in front of his ex-girlfriend, and I had to lose my child. When life crumbles, sometimes the only way is an unexpected offer. I found myself staring at a proposal from the last man I ever imagined, the youngest billionaire. Cold, calculating, he promises me everything I need to rebuild in exchange for a simple arrangement; Bear me a child within a year and leave after. A simple arrangement, or so it seemed. But as I step into his world, I quickly realize nothing is as it seems. The power, the desire, the dangerous game we’re playing… it all becomes far too real. Can I keep my heart intact and leave once the arrangement is fulfilled? Or will I find myself entangled in a way I never expected?

Si Léa ay namumuhay ng mapayapa kasama si Thomas, isang mahinahon at predictable na lalaki na kanyang pakakasalan. Ngunit ang hindi inaasahang pagbabalik ni Nathan, ang kanyang kambal na kapatid na may nakakamanghang alindog at malayang kaluluwa, ay nagpapabagsak sa kanyang maayos na mundo. Sa isang salu-salo na inihanda para sa kanya, si Nathan ay pumasok nang may kapansin-pansin na presensya at sa puso ni Léa, isang bitak ang nagbukas. Ang kanyang nag-aapoy na tingin, ang kanyang mga salitang puno ng pagnanasa, ang kanyang paraan ng pamumuhay na walang hangganan… lahat sa kanya ay naguguluhan at hindi maiiwasang humahatak sa kanya. Sa pagitan ng rasyonalidad at pagnanasa, katapatan at tukso, si Léa ay naguguluhan. At kung ang tunay na pag-ibig ay hindi matatagpuan sa lugar na palagi niyang inisip? Kapag ang dalawang puso ay tumitibok sa hindi pagkakasabay… aling dapat pakinggan?

She loved him in silence. From the moment she could remember, Sophia Thomas had watched Daniel Harper — her older brother Nathan’s golden-boy best friend — from afar. He was everything: charming, confident, kind. And to him? She was just “Nathan’s little sister.” At fifteen, she tried not to care. Tried not to notice how his smile lit up a room or how his laughter made her heart race. But when Daniel comes home from college and agrees to tutor her in math, Sophia realizes something painful: She never stopped loving him. As they spend more time together, buried feelings begin to surface — on both sides. What starts as stolen glances and quiet longing turns into late-night talks, shared secrets, and moments neither of them expected. But there are rules: - Don’t fall for your brother’s best friend. - Don’t let him see you as anything more than family. - Don’t believe he’ll ever feel the same. Too late.

My sister accompanies me when I go for my premarital medical checkup. When I'm preparing a urine test, I hear embarrassing sounds coming from the cubicle next door. I'm about to leave when I hear the conversation. "Keep it in you, Willow. We're doing this again if it slips out." The voice belongs to my fiancé, Zachary Hilton. The woman to whom he's speaking is Willow Langley, my sister. I dial his number hysterically to see whether it really is him, but my calls go unanswered.

Once I hear them leave, I call home, my face wet with tears. "Mom, change my husband-to-be to Thomas Hilton, Zachary's youngest uncle. I don't want to have anything to do with Zachary anymore."
