A sunshine girl. A serious man. Multiple chanced meetings that changed everything. Aurora Blaire wasn't looking for anything serious-especially not while on a girls' holiday. But fate had other plans, for both her and Lucian Thorne: a brutally composed CEO who didn't do random, had never been in a relationship, and was too focused on his businesses to find love. What started as chance run-ins turned into something they couldn't ignore. But how does a man built on control survive the kind of girl who blooms in chaos? ------------------------------------------------------------------ ""Her tipsy boldness kicked in hard, and walked for the armrest near him-planning to sit there casually. But the world tilted, and instead of gracefully settling next to him, she ended up tumbling right onto his lap. His hand shot to her waist, steadying her with surprising gentleness. "Careful, princess." he said, his voice low and smooth, just enough to make her blush harder. "Oops," she giggled, cheeks flaming. "I cant believe it's you Mr. Serious." "Still drunk, I see." And with that, Aurora's mind took off in full chatter mode."" ------------------------------------------------------------------ #1 TEENFICTION #1 SWEET #1 GRUMPY #1 CUTE #1 FUNNY #1 GRUMPYXSUNSHINE #1 RICHGUY

Three months of unpaid rent. A routine eviction. That was supposed to be the extent of Officer Asher Gray's Tuesday morning. But when he forced his way into the dilapidated apartment, he didn't find a deadbeat tenant. He found a nightmare. Hidden behind a door was Aria-broken, bound, and trembling under the psychological ghost of a man who called himself "Matthew." For three years, she lived in a hell of Logan's making, a world where her body was currency and her voice was a liability. Now that Logan has vanished into the shadows, Aria is physically free, but her mind remains a prisoner. She is a ghost in a hospital gown, refusing to utter a single word to the doctors, the counselors, or the world that failed her. The only person she doesn't shrink away from is Asher. He's the one who cut the ropes; he's the one who stood between her and the darkness. When the Chief realizes that Asher is the only anchor keeping Aria from drifting away entirely, he makes an unorthodox-and dangerous-request: Asher needs to take her in. Asher Gray is a man of protocols and boundaries, and bringing a traumatized witness into his home breaks every one of them. He's annoyed, overwhelmed, and certain he's the wrong man for the job. But as the days turn into weeks, the silence in his house begins to change. Through the flicker of her hands and the tentative trust in her eyes, Aria starts to emerge from the wreckage. Asher intended to just keep her safe until the trial, but he soon realizes that the closer she gets to healing, the harder it becomes to imagine his life without her quiet presence. In the process of saving Aria, Asher might just find that he was the one who was truly lost.

[Complete] An enemies to lovers, office romance. 🔥 Rated R for mature sexual content and graphic language • 18+ *** Two rivaling company presidents are forced to work alongside each other when their CEOs decide to merge companies. While it's a business move that makes sense given the flailing economy, Lucas and Talia would rather be broke and jobless than be in the same room as each other for more than five minutes. Yet when the coveted CEO position is up for grabs, and the possibility of getting to oversee the other person is thrown into the mix, it's hard not to resist diving right in. Talia worked hard for a shot at the top and she isn't about to let some narcissistic jerk ruin her chances of reaching it. Despite some hiccups in her past, she's determined to do whatever it takes to get there. Likewise, Lucas isn't going to let some smart mouthed woman get the better of him. He has a reputation to uphold and is never one to back down from a challenge. While life is about sacrifices, Talia and Lucas soon realize they may be in for more than they bargained for. Especially when the long days and late nights working together threaten to put not only their careers on the line, but their hearts too.

The story is a little cringy at the start but it gets better when you are about chapter four. Sophia Raven is a sassy, but nice girl who happens to have an older brother. She's also friends with his best friend, Ryder Gray. They have deeper feelings for each other though. What happens at the end? --------------- Ryder is the first to break the silence. "I don't get it." I turn all my attention to him and ask "What do you not get?" "If they want so badly a man with money to date you, then why can it not be me?" He asks as if it's the simplest thing. "They want me to date a millionaire, and I do not want to bruise your ego, but you are not one." I tell him while covering us with my comforter. "Don't insult me." He says while pulling me closer. He places a kiss to the crown of my head. "I'm a billionaire."
