The Night I Wasn't Meant For You
“A simple mistake at a hotel was never supposed to change Ariana Cole's life. After a work trip, Ariana arrives at the luxurious Vale Grand Hotel, exhausted from her journey. Due to a booking error, she is mistakenly escorted to the city's most exclusive penthouse suite. What she doesn't realize is that the penthouse is not a hotel room at all-it is the private residence of Damian Vale, one of the wealthiest and most influential men in the city. Too tired to notice anything unusual, Ariana falls asleep in the unfamiliar bed. When Damian returns home close to midnight, he is shocked to find a complete stranger sleeping in his bedroom. Instead of calling security or demanding answers, he does something unexpected-he makes her a cup of coffee. What begins as a strange encounter quickly turns into an unforgettable night. As they talk, Ariana and Damian discover a connection neither of them expected. Their conversation flows effortlessly, and by the time morning arrives, Ariana finds herself thinking about Damian in a way she never imagined. But there is one problem. Damian Vale is not just a rich businessman. He is the man who is supposed to marry Ariana's best friend. Suddenly, Ariana finds herself trapped between loyalty and love. Walking away from Damian means protecting a friendship she treasures. Following her heart could destroy everything she has built with the people she cares about most. In a world ruled by wealth, power, and carefully planned futures, Ariana must decide whether some connections are worth fighting for-or whether certain loves are simply forbidden from the start.”
