This is not an average love story where girl meets boy or boy meets girl, this is a love story of you loving yourself.... Self-love isn't an easy job. Do you know the moments when you are lying in your bed, your eyes start to water and all you think is “I hate myself“ or “I am worthless?“ You avoid mirrors and if you have to pass one, you feel heartbroken? Deep inside of you, you know all of this is ridiculous, but you just can't get out of the hamster wheel of negative thoughts around yourself.

Cabaret dancer Sylvie Devereux and Sheikh Arkim Al-Sahid have never seen eye to eye - not from their first antagonistic meeting to their last intoxicating kiss. And certainly not when she publicly stops his convenient society wedding to her beloved sister! Now Arkim wants revenge on the sinful seductress who cost him the respectable reputation he needs.

Are you tired of worrying about what other people think about you all the time? Have you been served the wrong sandwich at the diner but you shut up and eat it anyway because you’re too nervous and don’t want to be a bother? We all have our inner critics, and we all care about what other people might think of us, but sometimes our inner critic becomes too overwhelming and we start worrying too much, and it interferes with our daily lives like in our jobs, our interactions with our family and friends, and when we go out in crowded places.

When was the moment I lost track and started making 10 cups of coffee, scrolling over Instagram, and calling my mum instead of getting my work done? Sound familiar? If so, you're not alone! Procrastination is the most common trap in our modern society that leads into a spiral of unhappiness.

Do you remember how easy it was to make friends when you were young? You went up to another kid, said, “Hi, I like you. Let's be friends.“  Uhm, easiest friendship ever. But how come that nowadays before you start a conversation with a stranger, you think about strategies to smoothly end the small talk? Why are you disappointed when you step into the bus and there is no empty two-seater you can have for yourself? The reason might be social anxiety resulting from a lack of social skills. One of the problems is adults like to play cool.

Nobody is born as a socially anxious person or with a lack of social skills. Yet, anxiety disorder is the most common mental illness in the US, affecting 40 million adults aged 18 and older, or 18.1 percent of the population, every year. It is much easier than you think to become the most likable person in the room without ever being a people pleaser.
