A chance to finally become the interior designer she has always dreamed of, but when she finds herself working with the one person that she doesn't trust herself around, life starts to get messy, lines are crossed and she can't help but fall for the one guy she shouldn't - again. Chase Cartwright has been living out his dream of being an architect in NYC for the last two years, but when he returns to London for his next big project, he tries to keep his head in the game and not get distracted by his best friends younger sister and falling for her isn't an option - if only things were that simple. *** "Chase." I stand, sliding myself around the island and invading his personal space by basically crushing him into a hug. My arms wrap around his torso tightly while I stare up at him, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. His arms capture me, wrapping around my shoulders as his eyes flick between mine. "I really enjoyed last night. Every part of it." I tell him honestly. "Good. Me too." His head leans down into me, pecking my lips with a gentle kiss before he pulls away smiling, his dimples on show. "Do you know how fucking sexy you look right now?" I chuckle before breaking free, stepping back and spinning around so Chase can see me fully. "Fuck. Come here." His hands grip my neck, steadily pulling my head into him as his lips crash onto mine. His tongue slips in my mouth and I feel myself moan slightly at the feeling in my stomach from his touch. He suddenly grips my bare ass underneath his shirt and I squeal. "Hey!" "Sorry baby, I just can't control myself when you're literally wearing nothing underneath my shirt. Which by the way, looks so fucking good on you." *** Dual POV 18+ Mature scenes Strong language

What's the worst that can happen when you're forced to co-captain with your rival? Nova Shields can't stand Leo Hendrix. She hates his arrogance and obnoxiousness, that crooked smirk he does when he thinks he's right. Leo can't stand Nova's wits, the way she folds her arms and quirks her eyebrows. The way he can never read what's happening behind those green eyes. After a combined black operation was almost sent awry in '99 as a result of their constant disagreements, the pair vowed to never work alongside each other again. That is until Leo's partner suddenly loses his life in '02, leaving Commander North no choice but to bring in the only officer capable of filling the void: Nova. Their partnership ignites with animosity, a consequence of the lingering grudge. They can't seem to find that comradeship the Commander longed for. That is until they discover how once they work together without disagreeing, arguing and trying to wring each others necks, they can in fact form an unstoppable duo. A duo that transcends the operations they face; that forces them to confront the feelings they've been denying for so long. Feelings that only surface through the betrayals, bloodshed and near death experiences. Feelings that may be accepted, but only when it's too late. Then again, what's the worst that can happen? - UNEDITED Most impressive rankings: #1 in Rivals to Lovers 21/03/24 #1 in Special Ops 23/02/24 #14 in Young Adult 14/01/24 #8 in Enemies 14/01/24 18+ reader age.

But resisting her and focusing on his torturous reality is easier said than done. Quiet and shy Emily Resnick leads a simple life as an elementary teacher. Or she did, until her father took the talented and outrageously handsome Jaxon Cage under his wing. Now, she finds herself consumed by the dark and brooding but secretly soft-hearted man. She was a goner for him the second she saw the devotion he gave to his daughter and new-found job. As she discovers the many layers to this difficult man, she can't help but want to ease his burdens and carry his demons. She can't help but want him, period.

Regardless of our history and families, we were strangers. That was until the one link separating us shattered. What I never imagined was Rowan asking me for help. Asking me to be his wife. On paper only. Worse? I never imagined falling for him. We signed ourselves away to certain terms & truths, but now, everything was different. Because I fell in love with him beyond those terms. Rowan: Evie Rose Spencer has been the epitome of an annoying thorn in my side that I can't pull out. I've done everything to escape her.

Be strangers. Then my whole life began to fall apart all thanks to one inheritance will. I was meant to take the seat beside my older brother and run the Volkov empire. In order for me to take what I inherited, I had to be married and make it last a whole year. If I failed, everything I wanted would be taken from me. The best shot I had at finding a new wife was marrying a stranger. But fate tied me down to Evelyn. We signed ourselves away to certain terms & truths, but if she breaks them, she'll have no one to blame but herself. Breaking her heart was inevitable with this marriage license. No matter those terms. . . . ALL RIGHTS RESERVED INSPIRED BY - MARRIAGE FOR ONE, THE FINE PRINT, AND TERMS & CONDITIONS <3

After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look

I beg to differ that.", I sassed and got out of his grip ready to move out of the room when he pulled me by my elbow and the next second I was pushed on the visitor's chair. He trapped me completely by keeping his palms on the arms of the chair. "I tried to tell you patiently.", I scoffed at his words. Patience and he don't go in a single sentence. He gripped my chin making me look into his eyes."Now listen carefully Miss, I want you for my niece as her babysitter. Tell me how much you'll take and we can seal the deal." This time it was me who blinked once, twice and thrice. "But I don't want to work for you." See the reason was absolutely clear. I liked the kid since the moment I met her but I hated this man from the moment I gazed into his eyes. "How much?" I frowned."You really think your money can make everyone dance on your tips?" "1200 dollars a week." I rolled my eyes making him lean towards me." 1500?" "Make it 15000 and still I won't work for you.", I retorted and pushed him. I walked to the door and gave him one glance."Next time when you talk to me, make sure you keep all your richness aside. That's one thing that I never want to see you again, you self-centred CEO." "We shall see." . . . Brave but lonely. Passionate but sensitive. That's Arielle Summers. For everyone, Money, Assets and happiness may be supreme but to her, self-respect is prime. Cold and reckless. Commanding and ruthless. That was Nicolas Arnold. He only cared for his niece, his Mama and his friends. Love life didn't exist until- she came into the picture. *No Toxic Relationship. No ex-crush/lover/fiance/wife. The male lead is the uncle of the child in this book, he's not a manwhore. There are no trust issues. * Impressive Ranking: #8 in love among 2.31M on 09/04/22 ©2021 ankitawrites_Xx CC: @YT_BookAwards_Covers
