Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city.
Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand.
Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping.
***Excerpt***
What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan.
Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers.
"Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone.
Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute.
Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook.
"Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring.
"Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response.
"Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips.
Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia.
Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

Memories surged like a tide into her head after she was reincarnated, and she found out who she was... A complete pushover. Her name was Beiting Huang, a direct descendant and third-generation descendant of the Beiting Dynasty. Her fearsome reputation stretched across all nations on the continent. She was a girl, but she was disguised as a boy for some reason. Everyone was also after her wrist... to hack it off and take the bracelet she wore, which was actually a high-level spiritual item that concealed her gender.
Everyone included her own brothers. Her brothers were fighting and killing each other, tearing the dynasty apart in the process... and she happened to be caught in the crossfire.
Mercy? Did the old Beiting Huang not beg before she died? Did they spare her when she did? An emotion that was not hers stirred within her body, and Beiting Huang knew it was the old Beiting Huang's grief.
In her mind, she assured her: Don't worry. Since I've reincarnated in your body, I shall avenge you. Your death will not be senseless! After those words, the old Beiting Huang's emotions faded.
Now, there was only one Beiting Huang. She was the underworld's king, a mercenary lord who slaughtered and plundered with the world at her feet. Reincarnated into the fearsome Beiting family as its 'useless’ ninth son, the world's riches were once again in her grasp. She cultivated impossible abilities, contracted with magical beasts, and possessed a mystical dimension. She also trampled over gods and demons as and when she liked. Cold and handsome, her very presence was proud and magnificent, causing the world to fight for her affection.
Twenty-eight year old Delilah Sterling, has perfected the art of being a respectable realtor by day, and a professional gold digger by night.
Delilah believes she has her double life under control. Her meticulously crafted life crumbles when she wakes up one morning with a wedding band on her finger, a marriage certificate on the table, and a sinfully gorgeous man claiming to be her husband.
To make matters worse, he is broke and jobless, making her feel trapped in a surreal nightmare.
Desperate for escape, Delilah demands a divorce, but the stranger—insisting he wants to stay married—thwarts every attempt.
Frustration and confusion mount until Delilah hatches a new plan: she proposes they team up to con her next target, the elusive billionaire, Hunter Quinn.
What Delilah doesn't realize is that her "broke husband" is actually Hunter Quinn himself.
Billionaire CEO, Hunter Quinn,
having discovered Delilah’s intentions to con him, had decided to outplay her at her own game.
Hunter agrees to the partnership, and together they plunge into a high-stakes game of deceit. As they plot and scheme, the lines between pretense and reality blur.
Their forced proximity ignites an unexpected chemistry, leading to moments of vulnerability and genuine connection neither anticipated.
Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again?
****Exerpt****
Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything.
“I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.”
Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it.
“Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture.
Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her.
“How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.”
“It was a wild night,” he said softly.
Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder.
There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster.
Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom.
Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded.
“I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence.
Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze.
Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief.
Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.”
“You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in.
“How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced.
“I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed.

Lucinda Perry, uma reclusa social e workaholic, faz uma promessa a si mesma de se soltar no seu vigésimo quinto aniversário e até mesmo conseguir uma noite de amor casual se ela conseguir a tão esperada promoção no trabalho. Poucos dias antes do seu vigésimo quinto aniversário, ela é promovida para uma posição superior e para a sede em outra cidade. Tendo que passar a noite do seu aniversário em uma nova cidade, ela vai à boate onde conhece um belo desconhecido, Thomas Hank, que se oferece para ser seu caso de uma noite depois de ver sua lista de desafios a cumprir, que incluía ter uma noite de amor casual. Thomas Hank, depois de ter sido usado por várias mulheres no passado, está determinado a conquistar a mulher dos seus sonhos que o amaria por ele mesmo e não por sua riqueza. Então, quando ele conhece a fofa e ingênua Lucinda Perry na boate, ele decide esconder sua verdadeira identidade dela e descobrir se ela valia a pena. ***Trecho*** O que é mais divertido do que um personagem secundário louco? Diga olá à Sonia e ao Bryan. O coração de Sonia parou de bater por um segundo e, em seguida, diferentes pensamentos começaram a voar em sua cabeça naquele mesmo momento. Bryan Hank? O seu crush celebridade estava ajoelhado bem na frente dela e pedindo-a em casamento? Ele a estava confundindo com outra pessoa? Seria possível que isso fosse uma encenação, ou talvez fosse uma daquelas pegadinhas de celebridades, e havia câmeras por perto esperando para capturar sua reação? Ou talvez ela estivesse sonhando? Sonia se perguntava enquanto olhava ao redor, mas tudo o que via eram espectadores curiosos. "Por favor! Seja minha esposa e me torne o homem mais feliz da Terra", disse ele em voz alta, chamando a atenção de todos. Seu editor, para quem ela tinha esperado por mais de uma hora porque estava tentando fechar um acordo com um produtor de cinema interessado em uma de suas histórias, apareceu naquele momento, "Sonia, você conhece o Bryan Hank?" Seu editor perguntou em genuína surpresa ao ver a cena diante dele. Parecia ter passado uma hora desde que Bryan se ajoelhou, mas só tinha passado um minuto. Bryan sabia que nenhuma mulher seria louca o suficiente para aceitar uma proposta tão maluca e, mesmo que alguma fosse, seria fácil pagar-lhe e cancelar toda a situação, já que tudo o que ele queria era um escândalo que pudesse vir disso. As manchetes seriam sobre sua proposta de casamento rejeitada ou seu suposto noivado, o que seria suficiente para tirar Sophia do gancho. "Sim!" Sonia respondeu, balançando a cabeça empolgadamente e estendendo o dedo para que ele colocasse o anel. "Sim?" Bryan perguntou confuso ao ouvir sua resposta. "Sim! Eu serei sua esposa e farei de você o homem mais feliz do mundo!" Sonia disse rindo e mexendo os dedos até que Bryan deslizou o anel neles. Surpreendentemente, o anel era de seu tamanho exato e cabia perfeitamente em seu dedo, como se tivesse sido feito especialmente para ela. O som de aplausos irrompeu ao redor deles enquanto Sonia se levantava com um grande sorriso no rosto e abraçava Bryan antes de beijá-lo nos lábios. Bryan ficou um pouco surpreso com a audácia dela, mas rapidamente se recuperou já que este era o seu jogo, e ele tinha que participar. Afinal, ele tinha sido quem a procurou primeiro. Então, quando ela tentou interromper o beijo, ele segurou o queixo dela e lentamente mordeu seu lábio inferior antes de separar seus lábios com a língua e sugar de maneira provocante, arrancando um gemido de Sonia. Sonia se sentia tonta. Isso era bom demais para ser verdade. Só podia ser um sonho. Como mais ela poderia explicar que um momento estava sentada no saguão de um hotel esperando seu editor, e no seguinte estava noiva de seu crush celebridade e o beijava bem ali, em público?
Lucinda Perry, una solitaria adicta al trabajo, se promete a sí misma desmadrarse en su vigésimo quinto cumpleaños e incluso tener una aventura de una noche si obtiene la tan merecida promoción en su trabajo. A pocos días de su vigésimo quinto cumpleaños, es ascendida no solo a una posición más alta, sino también a la oficina central en otra ciudad. Al tener que pasar su noche de cumpleaños en una nueva ciudad, va al club donde se encuentra con un atractivo desconocido, Tomás Hank, quien se ofrece a ser su aventura de una noche después de ver su lista de atrevidas metas, que incluía tener una aventura de una noche. Tomás Hank, después de haber sido utilizado por varias mujeres en el pasado, está decidido a conseguir a la mujer de sus sueños que lo amaría por sí mismo y no por su dinero. Así que cuando conoce a la adorable e ingenua Lucinda Perry en el club, decide ocultarle su verdadera identidad y averiguar si valía la pena mantenerla. ***Extracto*** ¿Qué puede ser más entretenido que un personaje secundario loco? Saluden a Sonia y Bryan. El corazón de Sonia dejó de latir por un segundo, y luego diferentes pensamientos comenzaron a volar por su cabeza al mismo tiempo. ¿Bryan Hank? ¿Su amor platónico estaba de rodillas frente a ella y le pedía que fuera su esposa? ¿La estaba confundiendo con otra persona? ¿Era posible que esto fuera una broma, o tal vez se trataba de una de esas bromas de celebridades y había cámaras alrededor esperando capturarla haciendo el tonto? ¿O tal vez estaba soñando? Sonia se preguntó mientras miraba a su alrededor, pero lo único que vio fueron curiosos mirones.
—¡Por favor! Sé mi esposa y hazme el hombre más feliz del mundo —dijo en un tono de voz muy fuerte que atrajo la atención de todos.
Su editor, al que había estado esperando durante más de una hora porque estaba tratando de cerrar un acuerdo con un productor de cine interesado en una de sus historias, apareció en ese momento.
—Sonia, ¿conoces a Bryan Hank? —preguntó su editor realmente sorprendido al ver la escena ante él.
Parecía que había pasado una hora desde que Bryan se arrodilló, pero sólo había pasado un minuto. Bryan sabía que ninguna mujer estaría lo suficientemente loca como para aceptar una propuesta de matrimonio tan descabellada, y aunque hubiera alguna que lo estuviera, pagarle y cancelar todo sería fácil ya que lo único que él quería era el escándalo que podría resultar de esto. Los titulares iban a ser sobre su propuesta de matrimonio rechazada o sobre su supuesto compromiso, lo cual sería suficiente para quitar a Sophia del medio.
—¡Sí! —dijo Sonia mientras movía la cabeza emocionada y extendía su dedo para que él le pusiera el anillo.
—¿Sí? —preguntó Bryan confuso al escuchar su respuesta.
—¡Sí! Seré tu esposa y te convertiré en el hombre más feliz del mundo! —dijo Sonia con una risita y movió los dedos hasta que Bryan deslizó el anillo en su dedo.
Sorprendentemente, el anillo era de su tamaño exacto y se ajustaba a su dedo como si hubiera sido hecho sólo para ella. Aplausos estallaron a su alrededor cuando Sonia se levantó con una gran sonrisa en su rostro y abrazó a Bryan antes de besarlo directamente en los labios. Bryan estaba un poco desconcertado por su atrevimiento, pero rápidamente se recuperó ya que él era el que había comenzado el juego y debía seguir la corriente. Después de todo, él había sido quien se había acercado a ella en primer lugar. Así que cuando ella intentó romper el beso, él sostuvo su barbilla y mordisqueó lentamente su labio inferior antes de separar sus labios con la lengua y chuparla de manera sugerente, provocando un gemido de Sonia.
Sonia se sentía mareada. Esto era demasiado bueno para ser verdad. Tenía que ser un sueño. ¿De qué otra manera podría explicar que un momento antes estaba sentada en el vestíbulo de un hotel esperando a su editor y al siguiente estar comprometida con su amor platónico y besándolo en público?

However, as he approached his 20th birthday, he found himself abruptly summoned to another world—the Prodigy Realm. Initially bewildered and unfamiliar with this new realm, Abban soon realized that it was now his home, and there was no turning back. Despite being the strongest in his previous world, he paled in comparison to the Prodigy Knights who protected this kingdom.
Taken in by the Prodigy Knights, Ariel faced the challenge of adapting to his new life. Under the mentorship of Ihaan, the most powerful Prodigy Knight, he learned the intricacies of both life and combat. The question lingered: Could he truly integrate into this unfamiliar society? Earn their trust? Or would he forever be an outsider? With new threats looming over the kingdom and the Prodigy Realm embroiled in a Great Prodigy War, Ariel's survival became uncertain.
A human in a world teeming with inhuman monsters and prodigy users, Ariel set out to leave his mark. As the mysteries of the Prodigy Realm unfolded, a narrative of blood and betrayal began to take shape. Ariel's journey would be fraught with challenges, but the ultimate question remained: Would he be able to carve a place for himself amidst these extraordinary beings, or would he become a casualty of the Great Prodigy War? Only time would reveal the destiny of this unexpected hero in a realm of prodigious powers and perilous secrets.
The Beast Running Back (RB).
From mixed martial arts to football, from an obscure rookie to a superstar sweeping the league, from an outsider who knew nothing to a terrifying beast... He left numerous legends on this field and became a myth that changed the sport, yet at the beginning of the story, the creator of all these legends claimed innocently,
Football, what’s that? I’m truly not a football prodigy, really.
The Barren Continent, where martial arts are supreme, and strength is honored above all.
The once-in-an-era prodigy, Ye Chen, came forth with the ancient and unparalleled divine technique.

He roamed the myriad realms and heavens, fighting across the world with the secret realm of billions of stars that were eternal and undying!
An endless trove of treasures, worlds of bizarre wonders, sects, ancient clans, fairies, witches, friendships and enmities, and heated battles—all of it was contained therein.

Lucinda Perry, ein sozialer Einsiedler und Workaholic, nimmt sich vor, an ihrem fünfundzwanzigsten Geburtstag so richtig die Sau rauszulassen und sich sogar einen One-Night-Stand zu gönnen, wenn sie auf der Arbeit ihre längst verdiente Beförderung erhält. Wenige Tage vor ihrem fünfundzwanzigsten Geburtstag wird sie nicht nur in eine höhere Position befördert, sondern auch in die Hauptverwaltung in einer anderen Stadt.
Da sie ihre Geburtstagsnacht in einer neuen Stadt verbringen muss, geht sie in einen Club, wo sie einen sehr gut aussehenden Fremden, Thomas Hank, kennenlernt, der ihr anbietet, ihr One-Night-Stand zu sein, nachdem er einen Blick auf ihre "Dare-to-Do"-Liste geworfen hat, auf der auch ein One-Night-Stand stand.
Thomas Hank, der in der Vergangenheit von mehreren Frauen ausgenutzt wurde, ist fest entschlossen, die Frau seiner Träume zu bekommen, die ihn um seiner selbst willen liebt und nicht wegen seines Reichtums. Als er im Club die süße und naive Lucinda Perry kennenlernt, beschließt er, ihr seine wahre Identität vorzuenthalten und herauszufinden, ob sie es wert ist, ihn zu halten.
***Auszug***
Was gibt es Unterhaltsameres als eine verrückte Nebenfigur? Begrüßen Sie Sonia und Bryan.
Sonias Herz hörte für eine Sekunde auf zu schlagen, und dann schossen ihr im selben Moment verschiedene Gedanken durch den Kopf. Bryan Hank? Ihr prominenter Schwarm kniete direkt vor ihr und bat sie, seine Frau zu werden? Hatte er sie mit jemandem verwechselt? War es möglich, dass es sich um einen Sketch handelte, oder vielleicht um einen dieser Prominentenstreiche, bei denen Kameras darauf warteten, sie dabei zu erwischen, wie sie sich zum Narren machte? Oder träumte sie vielleicht? fragte sich Sonia, als sie sich umschaute, aber alles, was sie sah, waren Schaulustige.
"Bitte! Werden Sie meine Frau und machen Sie mich zum glücklichsten Mann der Welt", sagte er mit sehr lauter Stimme, die die Aufmerksamkeit aller auf sich zog.
Ihr Redakteur, auf den sie seit über einer Stunde wartete, weil er versuchte, einen Vertrag mit einem Filmproduzenten abzuschließen, der sich für eine ihrer Geschichten interessierte, tauchte in diesem Moment auf: "Sonia, Sie kennen Bryan Hank?" fragte ihr Redakteur erstaunt, als er die Szene vor ihm sah. Es schien eine Stunde vergangen zu sein, seit Bryan auf die Knie gegangen war, aber es war nur eine Minute gewesen.
Bryan wusste, dass keine Frau so verrückt wäre, einen solch verrückten Vorschlag anzunehmen, und selbst wenn, wäre es ein Leichtes, sie zu bezahlen und die ganze Sache abzublasen, denn alles, was er wollte, war der Skandal, der daraus entstehen konnte. Die Schlagzeilen würden entweder von seinem abgelehnten Heiratsantrag oder von seiner angeblichen Verlobung handeln, was ausreichen würde, um Sophia vom Haken zu lassen.
"Ja!" sagte Sonia, während sie aufgeregt mit dem Kopf wippte und ihm den Finger reichte, damit er ihr den Ring anstecken konnte.
"Ja?" fragte Bryan verwirrt, als er ihre Antwort hörte.
"Ja! Ich werde deine Frau sein und dich zum glücklichsten Mann der Welt machen!" sagte Sonia kichernd und wackelte mit ihren Fingern, bis Bryan den Ring auf ihren Finger schob. Überraschenderweise hatte der Ring genau ihre Größe, und er saß an ihrem Finger, als wäre er nur für sie gemacht worden. Um sie herum ertönte Applaus, als Sonia mit einem breiten Lächeln im Gesicht aufstand und Bryan umarmte, bevor sie ihn direkt auf die Lippen küsste.
Bryan war von ihrer Dreistigkeit etwas überrascht, erholte sich aber schnell wieder, denn dies war sein Spiel, und er musste mitspielen. Schließlich war er derjenige, der sie zuerst angesprochen hatte. Als sie also versuchte, den Kuss zu unterbrechen, hielt er ihr Kinn und knabberte langsam an ihrer Unterlippe, bevor er ihre Lippen mit seiner Zunge teilte und neckisch daran saugte, was Sonia ein Stöhnen entlockte.
Sonia fühlte sich schwindelig. Das war zu schön, um wahr zu sein. Es musste einfach ein Traum sein. Wie sonst sollte sie sich erklären, dass sie in einem Moment in der Lobby eines Hotels saß und auf ihren Redakteur wartete, und im nächsten Moment mit ihrem prominenten Schwarm verlobt war und ihn hier auf offener Straße küsste?

***Extrait***
Qu'est-ce qui est plus divertissant qu'un personnage secondaire fou ? Dites bonjour à Sonia et Bryan.
Le cœur de Sonia s’arrêta de battre pendant une seconde, puis différentes pensées commencèrent à se bousculer dans sa tête à ce même moment. Bryan Hank ? Son coup de cœur de célébrité était à genoux devant elle et lui demandait de devenir sa femme ? Se trompait-il de personne ? Était-il possible que ce soit une mise en scène, ou peut-être s'agissait-il d'une de ces farces de célébrité et qu'il y avait des caméras autour, prêtes à la filmer en train de faire l'imbécile ? Ou peut-être rêvait-elle ? Sonia se le demandait en regardant autour d'elle, mais tout ce qu'elle voyait n'était que des spectateurs curieux.
"S'il te plaît ! Sois ma femme et fais de moi l'homme le plus heureux de la Terre," Dit-il d'une voix très forte qui attira l'attention de tout le monde.
Son éditeur, qu'elle attendait depuis plus d'une heure parce qu'il essayait de conclure un accord avec un producteur de cinéma intéressé par l'une de ses histoires, apparut à ce moment-là, "Sonia, tu connais Bryan Hank ?" demanda son éditeur avec une véritable surprise en regardant la scène devant lui. On aurait dit qu'une heure s'était écoulée depuis que Bryan s'était mis à genoux, mais cela ne faisait qu'une minute.
Bryan savait qu'aucune dame ne serait assez folle pour accepter une proposition aussi folle, et même si l'une d'entre elles l'était, la payer et annuler le tout serait facile puisque tout ce qu'il voulait était le scandale qui pourrait en découler. Les gros titres seraient soit sur sa proposition de mariage refusée, soit sur son faux engagement, ce qui serait suffisant pour libérer Sophia de la situation.
"Oui !" répondit Sonia en hochant la tête avec enthousiasme et en tendant le doigt pour qu'il lui enfile l'anneau.
"Oui ?" demanda Bryan, confus en entendant sa réponse.
"Oui ! Je serai ta femme et je te rendrai l'homme le plus heureux du monde !" répondit Sonia en riant et en remuant les doigts jusqu'à ce que Bryan glisse l'anneau sur son doigt. Etonnamment, la bague était exactement de sa taille et elle s'ajustait parfaitement à son doigt comme si elle avait été faite juste pour elle. Les applaudissements éclatèrent tout autour d'eux alors que Sonia se levait avec un grand sourire sur le visage et embrassait Bryan avant de l'embrasser directement sur les lèvres.
Bryan fut légèrement pris au dépourvu par son audace, mais se reprit rapidement puisque c'était son jeu et qu'il devait jouer le jeu. Après tout, c'est lui qui avait approché Sonia en premier. Alors, quand elle essaya de rompre le baiser, il lui tint le menton et mordilla doucement sa lèvre inférieure avant de séparer ses lèvres avec sa langue et de la suçoter d'une manière taquine, provoquant un gémissement chez Sonia.
Sonia se sentait étourdie. C'était trop beau pour être vrai. Ce devait être un rêve. Comment pourrait-elle expliquer qu'un instant, elle était assise dans le hall d'un hôtel en attendant son éditeur, et l'instant d'après, elle était fiancée à son coup de cœur de célébrité et l'embrassait ici même en public ?
