Summary
Liverpool, 1990s. Two brothers in the care system learn early that the world is not built for boys like them - but that intelligence and preparation, can cut through almost anything.
At eleven and nine, Roman and Jan are aging out of the window where families tend to look to adopt. Most couples want toddlers. So when the Larssen family takes an interest, Roman decides this is their chance. He will make sure they get picked. He has always been the one who makes things happen. Unlike his stuttering brother, whose most reliable talent is attracting ever escalating beatings.
This is the story of what boys learn young and carry until the end. Of two brothers coming of age who wanted the same identity and the same girl. Of the mechanisms of survival, deployed with increasing ruthlessness, by children and young adults who had no other choice. Or did they?
[Not a romance per se though contains a prominent romantic storyline]
[Linked to Terms of Engagement and Until You Yield via the character of Jude Larssen - this is his "origin story"]Bookmarked by Meowlilith_ia

Summary
Isabelle ( Bells ) Hann thought she had her life perfectly mapped out: a prestigious role at a leading tech start up Larssens Ltd, an engagement to the generationally wealthy Theodore Watson, and a future built on safety over passion.
But her boss has a different vision for her life, for who she can become under him, both physically and metaphorically. And Isabelle can't deny the pull of the handsome maverick building his company through whatever means necessary - blackmail, white collar crime or less than morally sound liasons with business colleagues. His most persistent obsession - secure a contract with the global giant Yamamoto Industries - at all cost - to turbocharge Larssens Ltd to global prominence.
When he manipulates a business dinner with the Yamamoto CEO by claiming him and Isabelle are engaged (using Theo's engagement ring as a prop, naturally) Bells is drawn further into his spiral of corporate and personal machinations.
By the end of it, she'll realise it isn't only her career that's at stake. It's her entire life - professional, reputational, and deeply personal.
