Left without a job and evicted from the house she so carefully turned into a home, Aria is offered two choices: move back in with her brother… or take the job her brother’s best friend offers her.
Their lives weren’t meant to collide — but everything changes when Grayson realises that Aria is the mysterious woman behind a wildly popular vigilante platform.
She’s the woman he’s been falling for online, the one whose coding skills outdo his, the one he’s been trying to track down.

Dr. Noah Grant’s dream job at a prestigious private college came with three rules:
- Don’t sleep with the students
- Don’t sleep with a patient
- Stay away from Harold Astor’s granddaughter
Seems easy, right?
It was. Right until Amara Astor walks into his office with one of her own inventions – a toy – stuck inside her.
She’s a patient, a Ph.D. student, and she’s Harold Astor’s granddaughter. She’s entirely off-limits.
Getting involved with her puts his promising future at risk, yet he can’t turn her away. Not when doing so means she’ll find someone else to test her crazy inventions with.

The last thing she expected was for him to show up two years later as her professor and PhD supervisor.
As if that’s not bad enough… the new VIP client who just hired her as his nanny turns out to be none other than the very same elusive billionaire masquerading as a professor at the college his family owns.
No matter how they resist, life keeps pushing Leia and Adrian together in a cruel twist of fate.
After all, they can never be together.
She’s his student.
His cousin’s best friend.
She’s off-limits.
“Staring at the stars reminds me of how insignificant we all are, how small our problems are. There’s so much out there that we haven’t even discovered yet. The universe is so vast, you know? It gives me perspective.”

When her boyfriend breaks her heart, Alanna goes after his older brother in a quest for revenge.
It would have been simple — if he wasn’t also her new boss.
As they work together, it soon becomes clear Silas knows more about her than he should.
He knows about the past she’s forgotten and the memories that evade her… but some secrets are better left buried.
“Don’t dismiss my feelings by bringing up my age. You asked me for my thoughts, and I gave them to you. Take them for what they are, without trying to distort them into something you find easier to handle. If you can’t do that, then don’t ask me what I’m thinking.”
Totally Booked UK Review: Alanna and Silas paths cross in a graveyard – Silas having just buried his father and Alana mourning the loss of her mom. They share a few kind words, and Silas gives Alana a handkerchief to dry her tears, featuring the Ψ symbol. Two years later, their paths cross again at a homeless shelter where Alanna’s father asks her to volunteer after he has been a resident for years. Silas is now a resident after his stepmom kicked him out 3 days after the funeral, and she had inherited everything in the will.
A friendship forms between them as he attends Astor College, hoping to change his life around. Alanna discovers that her home life is built on a house of cards, which crumbles around her. Silas is there to help her pick up the pieces, and she moves into the shelter with him. Astor College’s dreams are gone for Alanna; she is applying for scholarships and grants from other colleges. Finally offered a place, Silas and she have a disagreement, and she rushes out, being hit by a car – their lives are separated for five years.
Living with amnesia following her accident, her brain is protecting itself against the trauma up until that moment. So Alanna doesn’t recognise Silas as he comes into her life, but she is dating his brother! An incident leads her to break things off with Ryan, sleep with Silas and end up working for Sinclair Security on the Ψ team – but what will life hold once secrets are revealed and truths discovered?
