Before destiny teaches us to hurt. Tom 1. Część 2

Karolina Szafrańska

Od miłości do... kłamstwa? Chwila zapomnienia i kilka złamanych zasad zwykle nie zwiastują niczego dobrego, ale Destiny Joyce zupełnie się nie spodziewała, że mogą doprowadzić do katastrofy. Choć Oscar i Destiny starają się udawać, że skradziony pod osłoną nocy pocałunek nie zmienił za wiele w ich relacji, to wzajemna nienawiść przemieniła się w sympatię. Miłość jednak jest krucha, a ludzkie serce zbyt naiwne. Destiny zakochuje się w Oscarze, a tym samym staje się ślepa na jego kłamstwa, które mogą wyjść na jaw w każdej chwili. Wrogowie próbują to wykorzystać przeciwko nim, bo chociaż uczucia kochanków są szczere, to wciąż skrywane tajemnice nieustannie stają im na drodze, a Oscar obawia się, że Destiny nie będzie potrafiła mu wybaczyć. Podobno prawdziwa miłość jest w stanie przezwyciężyć wszystko. Jednak nikt nie mówi o tym, że ludzkie serce nie wszystko potrafi znieść. Nikt nie wspomina, że czasem nagromadzone kłamstwa i wyrządzone krzywdy sprawiają, że rezygnujemy z walki, by nie ponieść większych strat. Może to dlatego Oscar Preston kłamał? By nie złamać kruchego serca Destiny Joyce...? Sięgnij po pierwszy tom serii #DESTINY

Before destiny teaches us to lie. Tom 1. Część 1

Karolina Szafrańska

Od nienawiści do... miłości? Pomysły, na które wpada się pod wpływem silnych emocji, rzadko należą do najlepszych, ale Destiny Joyce zupełnie się nie spodziewała, że mogą być aż tak złe. Kiedy dzień przed walentynkami porzuca ją partner, Destiny żąda sprawiedliwości. Chęć zemsty przyświeca tłamszonej przez lata Joyce do tego stopnia, że decyduje się podjąć pracę u największej konkurencji swojego byłego kochanka ― po tym, jak nietrzeźwa złożyła aplikację na stanowisko asystentki szefa. Głową ogromnej korporacji, będącej liderem na międzynarodowym rynku finansowym, jest niejaki Oscar Preston. Być może dlatego Destiny nie podejrzewa, że jako prawa ręka człowieka, dla którego była definicją chaosu i którego szczerze nie znosiła, zapomni o zemście, jakiej pragnęła dokonać, i uwikła się w romans wyrosły na wzajemnej niechęci. W końcu każda reguła ma swój wyjątek. Czasem największy wróg staje się najwierniejszym kochankiem, a nienawiść może się przeistoczyć w bezgraniczną miłość. Jednak nikt nie mówi o tym, co trwa pomiędzy regułą a wyjątkiem. I nikt nie wspomina o tym, że nie każdy jest gotów to przetrwać. Może dlatego nikt nie powiedział Destiny Joyce, jak wiele kłamstw ukrywa Oscar Preston? Posłuchaj audiobooka:
