Her breath shortened, her chest tightened, and still, she said nothing. Because it wasn't her place. Because she was never meant to be seen. Until she was. Until the day she stood before him, not as a stranger in the crowd, but as his bride. The wrong bride. He had seen her before. Once in passing, her eyes barely a flicker in his peripheral vision, dismissed for a prettier pair. The second time, he saw her through a vow sealed in blood and duty. And rage erupted. Exacting. Demanding. She wasn't supposed to wear that dress. She wasn't supposed to carry his name. But now that she does... There's no turning back.

For as long as Maia Brandy knew she had always kept herself buried in her work. Being one of the full time lead editors to a prestigious company in New York City tended to keep her busy, and the numerous dates her best friends put her on definitely left no time for her to focus on anything else in her life, like an actual steady relationship. She went on the dates, but never actually dated any one of the men she met. Her life was normal, repetitive and actually began to grow tedious, but she never seemed to change any of it. Maia basked in the comfort and ignored that her mind craved something more than what she already had, that is of course until one day she meets someone new. The handsome, rich, and extremely secretive, Aron Noir King. One broken down elevator ride. A few measly glances. And some simple exchange in conversation seemed to change her entire life from the typical unvarying days. Suddenly she is pulled into something she had never signed up for. Desire, love, deceit, illegal businesses and secret arrangements would create something that would change her life completely, for better or for worse, it will turn their worlds up side down. 18+ *** #1 in rich #1 in forcedproximity #1 in attraction #1 in obsession #1 in mysterious #1 in egotistic

Adrienne Faye's life was a mess. A big mess. A 22 year old college student who was not only financially struggling, she was emotionally struggling too, a girl with no friends other than her novels and thoughts which unfortunately did not make for good company. She had so much to pay for, always had so much to do, helping her mother, her grandmother and herself all at once. She was drowning, sinking so damn low, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to swim back up anymore. That is until she's paired up with her antithesis, Karsen Krist, for an assignment that will cost them most of their grade in their final year of college. Unlike Adrienne, Karsen was rich, happy, the college's star football player who as she spends more time with realizes is not as horrible as she thought he'd be, and actually, is just as human as she is. Except that he is much too talkative, too flirty, too smart, too sweet and unfortunately, a little too... desirable. But when you've been in a box so long, it becomes your new home, whether it's comfortable or not. Will he be able to get her out of that box? Or will all their potential end up going in vain? *** #1 in books #1 in art #1 in reversegrumpyxsunshine #1 in collegeromance #1 in player #1 in forcedproximity #1 in flirty #1 in grumpygirl #1 in project #1 in opposites

Sophia Honey never expected college to mean sharing an apartment with her childhood nemesis. ~~~ Freshman Sophia Honey never imagined her brother would stick her with Theo Gray-his best friend and her childhood nemesis-as her roommate. But things get complicated fast. Theo, with his shirtless mornings, flirty remarks, and those intense stares, pushes all of her buttons. Just when Sophia thinks she can handle their awkward living arrangement, she discovers he's not just popular-he's one of the hottest seniors on campus. And as the star of the hockey team, his status skyrockets, forcing her to tread carefully around him to avoid drama. But drama comes knocking When Sophia lands a side gig with the seniors in her photography department to make some extra cash, she doesn't expect her first assignment to be Theo Gray shirtless in front of her camera. She definitely doesn't expect him to say yes with that smug grin-and one condition. What he wants in return? Not money. Something else. Something dangerous. As the photo sessions begin, so does the unraveling. Their banter becomes charged. His touches linger. Her defenses slip. And then one night-when he comes home drunk, eyes glassy, words slurred but honest-he breaks every version of him she thought she knew. Gone is the boy who annoyed her growing up. This Theo is raw. Complex. Broken in places she never noticed before. And now she wants things she's never dared to want. His kisses. His hands. His body-yes-but also his secrets, his pain... him. What started as a paycheck becomes a dangerous line they can't stop crossing. And the more she sees him, truly sees him, the more she wonders- What if falling for Theo Gray was the real assignment all along?

When photography student, Willow Kennedy, gets offered an internship with her college's renowned ice hockey team, The Michigan Wolverines, she anticipates three things: 1) Her twin brother being an unbearable and over-protective nightmare. 2) Her photographs not making any real impact whatsoever. 3) The team completely shutting out the curly-haired girl pointing a camera in their faces. What Willow didn't take into account, however, was the Wolverine's team captain. Rumoured NHL first draft pick, dreamboat and total game changer- Tate Wilder. With his infectious dimpled smile, sparkling green eyes and addictive personality, Tate quickly turns Willow's internship into a life-changing and eye-opening experience- one filled with love, friendship and opportunities. Willow didn't meet the Michigan Wolverines looking for love, and funnily enough neither did Tate, but love soon found them. ********* "Pretty please?" Her lip juts out in an irresistible pout and you'd almost think she was a sweet innocent flower judging by the puppy dog eyes she's flashing me. But that image is little tarnished by the hand she has dipped into my boxers. I can feel my Adams apple bob as I reply. "O-okay. Fine, you win this time." The smile I get in response is absolutely blinding. A full, mega-watt grin with teeth, crinkled eyes and blush on the apples of her cheek. I'll let her win everything if I get that fucking smile in return.

"Who did this to you?" I didn't look at him. I couldn't. I stared at the glass in my hands. My knuckles were scraped. One nail was broken. I didn't remember when that happened. I opened my mouth but nothing came out. His fingers twitched against the sheets. His eyes never left me. "Ella" he said again, quieter now. "Tell me who did this." My throat closed. I tried to speak. Tried again. And then, in the smallest, ugliest voice I'd ever heard from myself: "Nathan." The name barely passed my lips.

Except staying out of his way was impossible when he was everywhere. At my midnight dinners. In my bedroom. In my head. Our deal was simple: no love, no feelings, no strings. But the closer I got to him, the more dangerous it became. Because in this game of power and pretense, someone would break. And I was terrified it was going to be me. ༻❁༺
