YOU WERE NEVER MY TYPE An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance Sofia Williams has everything a young woman could dream of. At twenty-four, she is the CEO of Williams Fashion House, the successful fashion firm she took over from her parents. Beautiful, ambitious, and fiercely independent, Sofia has built a life around her career, her dreams, and the people she trusts. She has no time for unnecessary drama, and romance is certainly not at the top of her priorities. Especially not with someone like Daniel Carter. At twenty-six, Daniel is the wealthy and confident managing director of Carter Shipping Group, the shipping company he inherited from his parents. Intelligent, charming, and infuriatingly sarcastic, Daniel has everything going for him—and an irritating habit of believing he can win any argument. Years ago, when they were students, Sofia and Daniel were academic rivals who could barely stand being in the same room. Their constant arguments, competitive attitudes, and unresolved misunderstandings made them promise never to have anything to do with each other again. And for years, they kept that promise. Until a school reunion brings them face-to-face. Now successful adults with independent lives and demanding careers, they expect nothing more than an awkward greeting and a few uncomfortable memories. Instead, their first encounter quickly turns into another battle of sharp remarks and stubborn pride. Unfortunately, fate isn't finished with them. When circumstances bring their businesses into contact, Sofia and Daniel find themselves spending more time together than either considers reasonable. Their arguments become familiar banter. Their rivalry gives way to unexpected conversations. And beneath the sarcasm and stubbornness, they begin discovering the people they have become. Sofia discovers that Daniel is more than the arrogant boy she remembers. Daniel discovers that beneath Sofia's sharp tongue is a woman whose determination, kindness, and courage captivate him in ways he never anticipated. Slowly, they become friends. But friendship has a way of making the impossible feel inevitable. As jealousy surfaces and unspoken feelings grow stronger, Sofia finds herself facing a truth she never imagined: the man she once swore she could never love is becoming the one person she cannot stop thinking about. Daniel, meanwhile, must convince the woman who challenges him at every turn that his feelings are genuine—and that loving her is not another competition he intends to win. Just when they begin to believe they can build something beautiful together, old misunderstandings and new insecurities threaten to destroy everything they have worked so hard to create. Can two people who once saw each other as enemies learn to trust each other with their hearts? Or will their pride, fear, and complicated past prove stronger than the love growing between them? She always said he was never her type. He intends to make her question everything she thought she knew about love. Sometimes, the person you least expect becomes the person you never want to lose.

A chance encounter in Switzerland binds two strangers who refuse to share their names. He is a mafia boss, feared in the shadows, hiding behind the desire for a peaceful life.

What starts as a temporary escape turns into love neither of them planned. But secrets do not stay hidden forever. When she discovers the truth behind his world—violence, orders, and death—love shatters. Unable to accept a life built on blood, she walks away, carrying a secret of her own. Years later, fate reunites them. She is no longer alone. Between them stands a child born from a love never forgotten—a living reminder of what they once were and what they lost. Now, a man who commands death must learn how to protect life, while a woman devoted to healing must decide whether love deserves a second chance. When blood and healing collide once more, will love finally win… or will destiny demand the ultimate sacrifice?

Excerpt: “I warned you, didn’t I, Aliana?” His deep, masculine voice reverberated through the air like silk.

That thought alone made her brows knit in confusion until she heard him continue, “You step into my world, and I will ruin you in ways you never imagined.” Aliana shivered, not only at the warning he had given her far too many times, but also at the way his icy blue eyes pierced her so intensely that it felt as though she might burn and freeze all at once.

The book cover is mine, don't use it.

As someone with almost nonexistent real-life experience in the matter, she can’t get the intimate chemistry right, and those chapters always come out dry and cringy. Fortunately for her, Harper finds a freelance editor willing to workshop her writing. But the surprise? That editor turns out to be her childhood friend and the very first crush of her life. What happens now when he offers her personal lessons on how to write the hottest romance … and love scenes? -------------- Note: this is a fun, cozy, sweet story with a low-drama plot. No love triangles, no misunderstandings, no memory loss / car accidents / terminal illnesses / etc.. Mature content abounds, starting out soft but heats up quickly. You’ve been warned! -------------- Sneak Peek: He slid her bra over her shoulders and, with impossibly quick and skilled work, tied the lacy garment around her wrists. “Spread your legs wider,” he ordered. Harper’s already faltering heartbeat faltered some more. The command in his tone was foreign, but it crashed over her like a heat wave, and even though she could barely begin to picture how salacious she must look, with her hands bound and thighs spread wide like an offering to be ravished, she could feel the scorching need coiling hotter and hotter in her core. Her body obeyed eagerly on its own accord, bringing herself fully open just like she was told. Eli grinned. Moving between her legs, he trailed hot kisses along her inner thigh, leaving sizzling little fires crackling in its wake. “Good girl.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” “Tell you what, Richard? What would you have done?” “I don’t know. Apologized sooner? Bought you a burger to make up for it?” Her eyes lit up with fire, “You think what you did to me… you think a burger can make up for it?” her eyes twinkled like she was fighting tears. Did I hurt her that badly? I was just a foolish teenager. “Nita, I am sorry. I was young, I was stupid. I wish I could take it all back and tell you how I feel instead of being a constant jerk to gain your attention.” “How did you feel that would justify what you did to me?” I paused for a minute, finding the words. “I had a huge crush on you at the time. And I didn’t know how to express myself. I was full of myself, I was the school’s ladies' man and the one girl I had eyes for didn’t even care if I existed,”  “And that justified what you did to me? Richard, you broke me. I can forgive you for ‘accidentally’ spilling your ice cream on me, or throwing my due assignment in the toilet, or the gum in my hair, or the glue in my chair but tell me how can I forgive you for what you did that night? Tell me!” “What night? Nita, what are you talking about?” “Remember when you asked me if I knew who sexually assaulted me?” I nodded, but what does that have to do with anything?  The more we spoke, the more confused I became. “You did and I cannot believe that you would stand there and pretend like it didn’t happen!” Nita has spent years trying to forget the torment she endured at the hands of Richard.
