From Princess To Queen.  - Book one
 
Ever since Gabriella was a small child, she's always looked up to her big brother and his best friend, Daniel Sabini. To young Gabby, being Daniel's princess was all that mattered. He was there to pick her up when she fell off her bike, or hug her when sad, he held her when her boyfriend upset her, only to break her heart when he left for Italy the night before her eighteenth birthday, never to return.
Gabriella is now twenty-two and no longer the young girl pining after her brother's best friend. Or so she thought. Until one night she bumps into Daniel and realises her feelings for him may not be as dead and buried as she thought.

Daniel always had a soft spot for Gabriella; she was like a little sister to him for years until suddenly she was so much more. But Daniel was always destined to take over the family business and when his best friend begged him to leave his princess out of his world, he reluctantly agreed. But he always kept watch from a distance until he could bare it no more. He needs her in his life like she wants him in hers.
“You deserve someone who treats you like a princess and wants to make you his queen, never settle for less.”
 
The Vow That Broke Us - Book two
 
He vowed to give her anything she wanted, so when she told him to leave and never return, he did.
For five and a half years, Clayton has kept away, but time doesn’t always heal old wounds. Sometimes, facing the pain is the only way to get the closure you need.

However, confronting the pain and being forced to marry it are two entirely different matters. Yet, when faced with the alternative—namely, Juliet being forced to wed the one man who has terrorised her for most of her life—both Clayton and
Juliet comes to realise that there is no escape from the arranged marriage.

But as the two finally discuss their painful past, they realise that things aren’t always as they seem.
