JoLynn Travis is living her dream hosting a regionally syndicated travel show covering attractions, big and small, throughout Texas. It's a small-time dream, but it's hers. And it's keeping her small crew--her surrogate family--together. At least until a charming new co-host comes on board with new ideas and, JoLynn suspects, plans to take her place. After a life spent drifting, travel journalist Shane Quinlan needs to put down roots for the sake of his father's long term health care needs. Texas looks good to him, and an offer to co-host a small-time local show might give him the stability he needs for now. But the current host seems unwilling to share the spotlight or consider any fresh ideas, especially from an outsider. The common ground they find gives way to deeper feelings. But when opportunity knocks, will Shane steal JoLynn's show, or will he steal her heart instead?

Nova Akhran and Julian Maxwell can't stand each other. At all. As CEOs of rivaling Fortune 500 companies, they've been at each other's throats for long enough. They want nothing to do with each other and are incapable of ever seeing eye to eye on anything. However, things take a turn when a frustrating ultimatum threatens their coveted CEO positions. Forced to scramble and protect everything they've worked for, they're cornered with a desperately volatile solution: holy matrimony. But sharing temporary and meaningless vows shouldn't be a problem since it's mutually beneficial. Right? Because when one really and truly wants something, they must take risks and sacrifices along the way...even if some of those risks are costly. If these two knew what they were really getting into from the start, maybe things would've been different. Because they're surely in for a ride when fate has a cruel sense of humor. After all, you can't avoid what is inevitable in matters of the heart. *FEATURED on Wattpad's Dangerous Love reading list (3/19/20) *FEATURED on Wattpad's New Adult reading list (4/1/20) *Ranked #59 in #AdultFiction (4/6/20) *Ranked #146 in #Business (5/2/20) *Ranked #10 in #Rivalry (1/3/20) *Ranked #3 in #EnemiesToLovers (12/19/19) *Ranked #84 in ChickLit (12/20/19) Copyright 2019© by RadiantLove_ Cover credit: @pollywritess

DISCLAIMER: I do not own and did not write this story. It is a copy of Original Book by Robert Louis Stevenson that I have uploaded here because it was way better to read than the PDF I was given in school. But I decided to let it stay here to help spread the book to wider audiences. Hope you enjoy. ----- Author: Robert Louis Stevenson Publisher: Longmans, Green and Co. Year: 1886 ----- It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. ------------
