Synopsis
"What if I say it's too risky?" she asked.
"Then I will respond with—you are worth every risk," he smiled.
...
With a troubled past and financial issues, Maxim Warner never had it easy. Coming a long way from a small town, he never stopped despite the hurdles thrown his way.
Charming and aloof, now the hotshot neurosurgeon has no use for emotions and even less use for love. However, things get twisted when he takes a familiar blonde as his tenant despite the jarring red flags in his mind.
She is the same woman who once held his heart within her grasp. But she crushed it back then and he would be damned if he let her do it again. He would be a good friend to her. Nothing more. End of the story.
Diana Chen, an American-Chinese heiress finds her life flipping upside down when she holds an infant in her arms. A tiny life that she is supposed to protect now but it comes at the expense of everything she has.
Nevertheless, on the worst day of her life, she moves to another country and decides to start a new life. And probably it is a good sign that her new house owner is a familiar face.
"Oh my god, Warner, I almost didn't recognize you!" She ruffled his hair but unlike how he used to laugh or blush in the past, he did not react and the atmosphere suddenly felt strained.
Let her take it back. The new house owner being a familiar face is making things awkward because the broody neurosurgeon might not be the beautiful boy with haunted dark eyes she used to know once. He is a man now... mysterious and stunning with eyes that strangely smolder her.
And she is beginning to feel things that she should not feel for him. God, is it too late to find rent somewhere else?
Maxim has yet to get over what the young Diana did to him while Diana has a baby to raise in her penniless state. Amidst this, the last thing they want is to look at each other across the dining table like the world lacks oxygen and their mouths are the only strategy for survival.
When the thin string of patience snapped, she made a proposal, "Take all my firsts," As he looked at her in stunned silence, she continued, "I want you to take all my firsts. If you can't, then I can go find someone who will—" her words were lodged back in her throat by his consequent actions.
_
When the mysteries from the past unveil themselves gradually, will the two be able to get over their differences and own up to their feelings? Or will it be the final 'The End' for them this time?

Write a reviewA steamy friends to strangers-strangers to friends-friends to lovers. You will know what I mean when you read the book. The ML is not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Life threw lemons at him but he made lemonade outta it!! We stan Maxim Warner, the hot, aloof, charming man who will bring any girl to her knees with his discreet cuteness. The Fl is born with a golden spoon in her mouth but every shiny thing has its flaws so does her life. Despite everything, she is one of the strongest characters you will come across. She is funny and witty. Fl and Ml used to be friends. Having not seen each other in 6 years, they meet again under unexpected circumstances but you won't find it strange or awkward. Because there is this chemistry that sizzles. Whenever they are in the same room, you will either have a silly smile on your face or you will have your toes curled. That's what they do to me. Every page of this book has me giggling and laughing. But some parts make me pause and breath because yes, these include heavy and dark topics. The author knows how to balance and the writing style is chef's kiss. There is something about a book that you read and you know you are not going to stop reading it until you reach the last chapter. This is one of such books, a page-turner. I was an avid reader years ago but now, I don't have time for books with my job and responsibilities. But Aurora is one of those authors who compels me to read her books
Wow! That an interesting plot synopsis. Kk picking this up to read from another fav author of mine. Wishing you all the very bests Author. Thanks.
Always expect something new something fun from this author nd she never disappoints..in love with story with characters with angel…love that it has all elements humour, drama , friendship nd wooohhhh chemistry..its a must read just try🎉🥰🥰
Love the flow of the writing by the author...this is a one of the great novel so far that I read...hopefully the author can do a mass release because cannot wait the progress between Max & Dee😬
At start I did not find the book that interesting but as time goes you will get hooked with the book. And the more you read about angle the more you will love her
ohhh love love love💕💕...both of them are so cutee...can't wait to have more baby scenes of them ..what a story snarky ml witty dialogues funny fl..best work..total love!!!its a must read..🥰🥰🥰..past events their background connection keeps us in total loop
You missing out on something huge if you not reading this!!! Literally!!! Gonna be honest I had a day in my life when I felt like I should give up on stories cause well alot has been happening and ya it's complicated 😅 anyways the point is🙈, the only reason I am stuck to webnovel is simply because of this book and basically this authors books in general because for me like I like to call it's, 'my little secret happiness'. Well you'll obviously have your own views and a different take on the book depending on the books you've read and stuff, so for me after reading all the books I've read and tried to read, this has been one of thee most favourite book of mine, well firstly the characters are perfect, their personality, expression of emotions, hiding of feelings and just them being them, it's written super well and the thing that makes a book perfect for me would be when I feel the emotions and can connect with the characters and it's not easy for an author to do that, I don't know but it just feels like magic when even before reading the whole scene or chapter but just the way a few words are written the emotion hits from deep within and it feels even magical when you get it right after completing the scene. Secondly well the book is totally worth the time, currently chapters are not updated everyday but when the chapter is realised it feels fulfilling, it's totally worth the wait... you'll never be disappointed, Never! If you looking for something that isn't supernatural this is for you and also if you just looking it's for you actually, you know what I don't see a single reason for you to not be reading this book especially when it's written by this author , my review aside I guarantee you from every other review and comment posted about this book that this book is worth it alll... It's a must read!!!
By chance I picked up this book on recommendation and LOVE it thus far ♥️. I was intrigued by the plot so much that I did not let the screen down till I finished reading till (chapter 24). It talks about how an old friendship between a struggling heiress that escaped from her family's clutches while trying to raise her little angel met her ex-friend who is a well off neurosurgeon then turned strangers after years, reunited and renewing their friendship but with all the steamy sparks ~ Hoping to see the development of the story that their relationship will blossom to something more~ Kudos to author for coming up such a paper turner plot ♥️ Hope to see more chapters coming our way~
They loved each other for so long. Yes, it was not romantic from her side but now after 6 years, two friends are living in the same house with sparks flying everywhere. A book that makes me smile and cry, it treads over dark topics like a...b... u s e and academia stress but the couple's interaction gives me diabetes. A perfect balance. I am upset that I didn't discover this author before. They have a knack for writing the book in such a way that can sweep someone off their feet. Yes, it's that amazing. Read it and come here to whine if you don't find this book worthy of your attention. The perfect English here turns me on!!!! ❤️🔥
please author, update this book. The story is really nice and I have already invested in this one soo much. Please release some updates 😭😭
I don't know what to say but all have to say is this book is very interesting, amazing and awesome. Thanks author Auroraaa 😊
I promised myself that no book was gonna make me buy coins but this book did😍 I was not surprised when I saw the author was "Auroraaaa", those whom have read her other works like,"Dusk till dawn,"Esnaring his dark moon","Married to his secret crush"and others will know what I'm talking about.
An awesome read. Very well written and really like the plot. It is not pretentious or superficial. The story flows very naturally and each character is so well thought. The story is so believable and realistic.The slow-burn between the ML & FL is as enjoyable as frustrating...
i really like the novel.. just wished updates were faster.. I'm not putting any pressure on author but it really is very interesting!
Excellent writing. I don’t know if it’s just wanting for more but I thought the ending is abrupt. Oh well, I mustn’t be greedy.
Really enjoyed this book happy it will be a series. Cute, up lifting, funny, steamy and at time anxiety provoking. Nice twist and turns. Please read you will not regret it.
Author Auroraaa
I mostly read high fantasy books but stumbling on the gems written by Author Aurora makes me so glad that I gave them a try. A ML with a past. He was not born rich but he is rich now and 9 chapters down, I can see that he had a clear glow-up. Also, he used to be sweet and timid when he was young but now he is...still sweet towards FL but in an aloof and discreet way and insanely hot. Their friendship feels so pure, cute, and fluffy in the flashback. Fl is a strong woman. That much is established in the first chapter itself and she is mysterious and rich. There are many things I want to know about her but right now, all we get to know is she is getting hot for her childhood friend 🤫😉 Their chemistry and the tension between them are giving me electric shocks throughout my body. Not to exaggerate but I get goosebumps(in a good way) whenever they are in the same room. There are lots of mysteries to be unfolded. Like the child with Fl, why Ml is aloof now and why they were not in touch with each other for the past 6 years when they were best friends. But currently, all I need is for them to kiss each other crazily🤣😅 I am going crazy, yes. But so is this book. It's insane, hilarious, swoon-worthy, hot, and unique. Must try it!♥Good job author🧿♥
