She Venmo requests him instead. He's never had to work for anyone's attention. She's never had time to give it. Kenji doesn't do feelings.

Because for the first time in his life, Kenji Nakamura is falling first. And falling 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥. 𝐒𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝. 𝐇𝐞'𝐬 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠.

***WATTYS SHORTLISTED*** To save her failing bakery, a small-town baker must fake a televised romance with the All-Star baseball player who broke her heart. ------- When electrical sparks fly in my failing bakery, I'm forced back to the reality TV show that made me a national laughingstock. Competing while managing my chronic psoriasis flare-ups was traumatizing enough the first time. This time, there's a new twist: my celebrity partner is Brody Hightower, the pro baseball star who shattered my heart the day he was drafted. The boy who left me behind is now the hottest man I've ever seen. I'm not "Brody's girl" anymore, but the heat between us burns hotter than the competition ovens. When our chemistry sends the show's ratings soaring, the producers pitch an offer we can't refuse: fake a televised romance in exchange for a guaranteed spot in the finals. The plan is simple-until a flooded hotel room forces us into the same bed. With the cameras rolling and a secret Brody is desperate to hide, there's more at stake than sweet redemption. My heart back on the chopping block, falling for him again might mean losing more than just the competition. This time, I have to choose: preserve my family's legacy, or finally choose myself. 18+ for mature language and explicit content. Story is complete!

♡︎ We were the only ones in the elevator, and to make matters worse, we were on the twentieth floor, which meant that we had a long way to go before we reached the ground level. Kyle's eyes seemed to be glazed over as he continued to stare at me with an unknown look in his eyes. "Look, I'm sorry, but-" I began to tell him off, but he didn't give me a chance to finish. "Twice now you've walked away from me," he said while slowly backing me into the corner wall. My legs began to shake at the thought of us playing into our roles. "Make it a third, and trust me when I say, the consequences won't be in your favor." "Do you understand?" The closer he got, the harder it became for me to focus on what he was saying. "Yes," I breathed. "Good," was all he said before he wrapped his hand around my neck and slammed his lips onto mine. »»----- ♡ -----«« Lilac Reynolds is not your average twenty-year-old.

He burned for control. She was born of chaos. Together, they'll shatter the laws that broke them-and forge a love fierce enough to change everything. - In a kingdom where magic is law and the powerless are sold like cattle, survival is a coin few can afford. Every season, the poorest are swept from the streets and auctioned off as Familiars - living mana batteries to feed the ambitions of greedy sorcerers. Forgotten. Disposable. Erissa expected pain when she was claimed by Lord Kaelen Carmentis - the coldest sorcerer in the court, and heir to one of the oldest bloodlines in the realm. She didn't expect the bond to awaken something inside her. And she certainly didn't expect that, in the silence between them, she would feel safe. But Familiars aren't meant to be felt. And whatever is growing between them... is breaking every rule. Because she was never meant to survive the system. She was meant to rewrite it - and burn the old world down in the process.

I don't even know why I expected it to be different. When I spoke my opinion, they ignored me - just like always. It never surprised me anymore. They would never take me seriously. Because I am "only a woman" in a world ruled by men. I had heard whispers that it was not like this everywhere. That other realms did not silence their strongest warriors simply because they were born female. But here - in Heaven - power belonged to men. My name is Elissa. I am an angel. The best warrior Heaven has. The strongest. Everyone knows it. They say it in private. They admit it when they need me on the battlefield. But never out loud. Never in front of me. And it never bothered me. Until now. Because now it's my time to make my own choises. And the first one - I am leaving heaven and going to another realm.
