— Do you love him? — Yes, — I answer without hesitation, the word sharp and certain. — How far are you willing to go to save his life and repay the debt? The question knocks the air out of my lungs. I fall silent, watching as he steps closer, wraps his arm around my waist, and pulls me against him. A dangerous heat surges through my body, scorching every emotion. I frown. — What do you want? — Give me the night, — he breathes, leaning in for a kiss. Panic erupts in my chest. How dare he? Bastard! To keep myself from collapsing, I reach out for the wall—but my hand finds something else on the dresser. Without thinking, I grab it and swing. To my own surprise, I hit Lukyan over the head with a pot. A cactus pot.

"I apologize, Mademoiselle Keller, for my rude words," he decided to start the conversation first, trying to salvage the situation as much as possible. "It doesn't matter. You will have a chance to earn my forgiveness, Mr. Leonov," I assured him boldly. "Meaning?" the man asked, genuinely surprised. "No, but..." "Perfect! You must accompany me to my friend's New Year's party, pretending to be my fiancé."

I have always dreamed of singing. I took part in competitions, but never managed to become famous. When I was invited to America to become a member of a famous band, I realized that I shouldn't miss this chance. But what would happen to me in a place where completely different rules apply? My path to recognition will not be easy, and I will realize this as soon as I cross the threshold of my new home. A new life, new friends, and a lot of people who will be against me. I promised myself not to give up, because I still have to light my own star. There is only one thing... I will be singing in a boy band, and its frontman will become my worst enemy.

“I’m not what you need, Mia,” his voice is cold. “How could you possibly know what I need, Adam?” I shoot back, forcing bravery into my tone, though the truth is, I’m trembling under his gaze. “Looking for revenge on your ex?” His eyes narrow. “And if I am? Do you really care who I sleep with?” A dangerous spark flares in his dark eyes. In just two strides, he closes the space between us, making me stumble backward. His broad hand wraps around my throat, gripping firmly. “You’ll burn in this,” he breathes, his warm breath laced with the bitter edge of tobacco as it skims my skin. A tight, treacherous knot coils low in my stomach. I press my thighs together, cursing the way my body reacts to this man. “You’ll fall in love—and burn. I won’t love you back,” his tone is flat, unyielding.

She arrives in Bern to start over — a new city, new choices, a new life. Adventurous and vibrant, with emotions worn on her sleeve and unpredictability in her every move, she’s used to living by her own rhythm. He is calm and collected, with a love for silence rooted deep in his heart. His days are orderly, his space meticulously arranged, his world — steady. But fate has other plans: now they have to share the same home. At first, he sees her as a real disaster — a threat to his peaceful world. But with each passing day, it becomes harder to ignore how this “trouble” somehow makes the silence feel less comforting. They are opposites. But who says two different worlds can’t come together to create a single universe? How long can they keep their distance?

Falling for a student is the last thing she ever wanted. But when a charming rich boy begins to change his life for her, resisting becomes harder with every step.

When a person sets a goal, they don't see any obstacles. So did I, stubbornly pursuing my goal. But when I finally realized what I had done, there was nowhere to go. Propose marriage to the first person you meet? Yes, easily! It's just a four-month contract with mutual benefits. That's what I thought until feelings intervened in our purely business relationship. That's when everything went wrong, and our plan failed miserably.

Zlata is gentle, kind, and full of life. She teaches children by day, and loses herself in music and poetry by night. Her heart longs for one simple thing: a loving home and a love that’s true. Luka — guarded, distant, marked by shadows. He spends his days defending criminals in court, finds solace in speed and the letter of the law. His dreams are shaped by ambition: career, success, and the respect he’s fought to earn. They are as different as Mars and Venus, as distant as parallel lines — each moving forward, never meant to meet. And yet… fate has other plans.

“I expected you’d be kinder by now,” he smiled at her. “So many years have passed. Do you still hate me? You have a long memory...” “What the hell are you doing here?!” she snapped. “How dare you show up in my life after ruining it?!” “You shouldn’t hold grudges like that.” She felt like she was about to explode from the inside. “What?! What? What did you say?” the golden-haired nymph shouted. “Are you playing with me? Is your life’s goal to ruin my wedding? This time, it won’t work! Tell me what you want and get out of here!” “You! I came for you. And you know me—I’m not going anywhere without you.”

My name is Sasha, and my profession is anything but ordinary. But to me, there’s something undeniably romantic about it. After all, not every job comes with a rush of adrenaline, unexpected adventures, and—let’s be honest—a few extra zeros in the bank account. Some call me a con artist. Others say I’m a swindler. A few even think of me as a private detective. Me? I just do what my clients ask. In my mind, I’m a huntress of secrets—a collector of dirty truths. My clients range from suspicious wives and ruthless businessmen to jealous husbands willing to pay for round-the-clock surveillance. But one particular job turned my world upside down. Because on that case… I met Him.

"Easy, my love. Don’t fight me… or I’ll throw you over my shoulder and punish you in the bedroom." What? What did he just say? My love? Did I hear that right? "Say it again!" I breathe the words against his lips. "What did you just call me?" My eyes fly open. I forget how to breathe. I wait. He’s watching me with that strange intensity. "You heard me right," he says and time slows down. Or maybe it’s just me, caught in this moment as if in slow motion, staring at his lips as they move, forming those impossible words: "I love you." The world stops spinning. I’m too scared to even breathe. "You don’t have to believe me," he says, voice rough. "But it’s the truth. You drive me out of my mind. My. Іncredible. Temptation." And now he waits—tense, motionless. So… he’s not lying?

Start with: One girl from a small town, here to conquer the capital with dreams of being a journalist. One King of the University: Rich, handsome as an angel, the life of the party… Or is he? One Rector's son: Feared by everyone. Brooding and infuriating… Or is he? Put them together and you get an explosive cocktail! How can you tell who's being sincere and who's just pretending? Or what if they're both putting on an act?.. In a setup like this, is it even possible to keep your heart intact? How do you find the balance between love and hate when everything inside is catching fire? And the most important question of all: will it really end at the university?

Alexandra thought it was just one wild night—a reckless escape in the neon glow of a nightclub. But she had no idea how deeply that moment would cut into her heart. One impulsive choice. One stolen embrace. And suddenly, the past she was trying to forget came crashing back— her fiancé’s betrayal still raw, the wounds not yet healed. Now, caught between desire and doubt, trust and pain, Alexandra must decide if she’s brave enough to risk her heart again. Because some nights change everything.

He forbade himself from starting a relationship and starting a family, so as not to become vulnerable to the enemy.

— Mila, you know, I was very surprised that you accepted my offer, — Domansky smiles, pleased with what he sees. Of course, Emilia Sikhovska came to ask him for help from her own family. We had never been to the same party, and here I was, voluntarily coming to him. — I can leave, — I say faster than I think. His satisfied smile angers me greatly. — Go ahead. Levitsky is still waiting, he really wants to spend time with you. Especially after you stole his car, — Pavlo laughs, and a faint smile appears on my face. — And he didn't tell you how I kicked him in the balls? — I say sadly, but smile more broadly. — No, he saved that news for later. Get undressed...

My life was full of joy and love. I was studying for the profession I had dreamed of since childhood. I had a boyfriend whom I think I truly loved, and we were going to get married, but one trip to a club changed everything.
