Open the door. I want to get out!“ I say. ”No!“ he says. ”Alex, I want to get out! Open the door, please!“ I repeat. ”Son, it won't help you," he says and starts the engine. I'll take you home. I roll my eyes, take a deep breath, and tell him the address of the neighboring house. “That kiss didn't mean anything!” I blurt out as we drive. “You caught me off guard, and I couldn't-” “Resist?” he finishes for me. I open my mouth to tell him to go to hell and then close it. What good will it do me? Alex is not going to stop me anyway. He sees right through me because he's experienced in these things, and I've never been kissed properly. I can say that it was my first real adult kiss.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. That's what they say. One simple saying, but how many facets there are in it. You can disguise mistakes or evil deeds as good ones. You can have good intentions, but do nothing to implement them. And it may happen that the most sincere and desperate actions will have unexpectedly fatal consequences. And then it doesn't matter for what reasons and by whom that apple was picked - both will burn...

My breath is catching in my throat, and I'm afraid I'm going to faint. None of this can be true. The Hunter I met in London can't be this Hunter. But he is. It is. Hunter finally focuses his gaze on me and breaks stride. He stops and draws his eyebrows to the bridge of his nose. Surprised? “Good afternoon,” I shake his hand and really hope that my voice sounds even. "My name is Daria. Hunter," he puts his hand in mine, and it feels like time is standing still. It's a pleasure, Dasha. I think this will be an interesting task for me. I'm glad I agreed. And I guess Myron was right. I should be more interested in football. I'll try to improve.

Returning to her native London, Elizabeth had no idea what this homecoming would truly mean. She will have to face not only the past she once longed to escape — and tried so hard to forget — but also the feelings she thought were buried for good. But what happens when the past wants not only to reclaim the present... ...but to become her future?

I hate the majors with every cell in my body. I don't understand how you can fall for money and a pretty face, and then shed bitter tears into your pillow. That's exactly what I thought until the moment when... they appeared in my life. Absolutely the same on the outside and so different on the inside. I understand that we should never have met, but for some reason, fate keeps throwing unexpected meetings at us. The bad guy Dan and the mysterious Yan. Is it my personal curse, or is there something else here? You just have to dig a little deeper and then everything will become clear. This is the feeling when a completely tasteless candy is hidden under a beautiful wrapper... How many secrets do you guys have, and which of you will allow me to bring your demons to the surface?

Him. Betrayed at a very young age by two women at once. The only way to keep his sanity is to hide behind the bad-boy persona everyone already believes him to be. But will there be someone who can see the real Adam beneath the mask of carefree recklessness? Her. A hothouse flower, carefully raised by her parents for a stable future that had been decided long ago: they chose her profession and a “worthy” husband, leaving Camilla only one passion as a gift — the place where she feels flight and freedom — equestrian sport. What will happen when, as punishment, he’s forced to return to university and sent to do community service at the riding arena? Love will happen. Forbidden. Wild. Fiery. Passionate. The kind of love that could set even the stars ablaze.
