    Summary

    Her secret weapon to get through life is to find the happy little things and keep them close to her chest, so she never has to share her happiness with anyone. Because if she shares it, they can take it from her. 

    Sometimes it’s easy. Way too easy to find things to like. For example, the guy that just barrelled through the door, almost sending the bell flying has a smattering of freckles on the bridge of his nose and freckles are one of MJ’s favourite things. And that isn’t even the best thing about him.

    Summary

    His eyes dance with light, and he shakes his head. His curly mop of hair bounces and Michelle feels like punching him. “MJ, I haven’t seen you in, what, two years? You think I’ve kept track of you all these years just to mess with you on your first day?”

    “It’s Michelle,” she grinds out. “And I wouldn’t put it past you. It’s more believable than you being the punctual one, and me being late.”

    He nods, but that damnable smirk just won’t leave his face. “You got me there. Michelle.” He says her name with just a little too much attitude for her liking. Better than calling her MJ. After what he did.“

    Michelle doesn't like Peter. And now she's stuck working with him. However will she survive?

    Summary

    “I’m rewriting this script,” she grabs the stack of paper from the corner of her desk and lets it fall heavily on the surface between them, bent pages fluttering in the wind of it. “And I needed an excuse to completely gut it. Fully page one it.”

    “Alright,” he leans back in his chair, legs and arms both crossed defensively. “Then gimme your pitch.”

    “My pitch?”

    “That’s a thing in this world, right?” he motions broadly at the room. “Pitch me.”

    Summary

    When receptionist Lily Evans is informed that the hotel she works at will be hosting the owner's son for the whole month of October, she figures he's likely to be smug, and unbearable, and really nothing new.
    As it turns out, she's right about the first two assumptions—and terrifically wrong about the third.

    It was the first week of June, a warm early Saturday when Kiara made her way into JJ’s self-proclaimed room at the Chateau, threw herself on the bed where he lied half asleep and asked, “You wanna make out with me?”
