Celeste didn't think it couldn't get any weirder than waitressing at an exclusive erotic masquerade ball for the uber-rich. Then she caught the eye of her gorgeous billionaire boss, Griffin Steele. What started out as one night of anonymous hedonistic bliss quickly spirals into full-blown feelings, catapulting Celeste into the cruel world of the rich and powerful. **************** GRIFFIN STEELE: I've never lost my head over a woman and I've sure as shit never been in love because it's a myth. A chemical farce masquerading as temporary insanity. It's all a game of give and take, but to men like me, it's a ruthless takeover. At least, that's what I told myself. Then that twenty-something temptress waltzed into my world and upended everything. CELESTE MARTIN: Talk about a weird night. I got harassed, assaulted, and fired (not necessarily in that order) before spontaneously combusting into raw sexual energy with my former boss. And Griffin Steele wasn't just a worldly billionaire-slash-untouchable Green Tech god. From his dusky blue bedroom eyes to his aura of quiet power, the man was hazardous to my health (and my underwear). We were a burst of ephemeral magic. An incredible fluke that left my legs quivering and my body craving so much more. And unfortunately, it can't 👏 happen 👏 again 👏 2023 WATTYS SHORTLISTED STORY 🏆 ***Please note, this book has been taken down for editing.

Esme Things can become clear in a second. When I found Tanner in his office with that woman, so many things became obvious. Tanner's always held himself back from me, but now, secrets and lies come tumbling out into the light. He's never loved me and he never will. I'm no longer willing to be a placeholder in his life, and I have to end our marriage. Tanner I'd been married for four years to someone I didn't believe I loved because I thought I still loved another woman. A woman I had to give up when I chose to marry my wife after I got her pregnant. Now, the other woman's back, she's divorced and is telling me it's our time to be together. Just as soon as I divorce my wife, who's pregnant with our second child. The allure of the past was impossible to resist, so I gave in, met her at my office and my wife found us just...after. So many things became clear to me even before I looked into my wife's devastated eyes. What had I done? I knew what I'd done, and now I had to prove to my wife that she's the one I want.

Widower/secret baby trope

First, I caught him with her in a restaurant on the anniversary of the day we met. He explained it all. Then, he came home with lipstick by his ear. He explained that, too. I found a secret phone with texts between them. He denied it was his and explained it away. But when I found out something he had lied about... That he couldn't explain.

Nico and Cosi seemed like the perfect couple...until Cosi discovered the divorce papers in her husband's safe, texts between her husband and step-sister...and a baby on the way.

I'd fallen in love with the president of a motorcycle club. He was perfect for me in every way. Until I discovered he had an ol' lady and little boy that he'd kept from me the whole time we were together. He's in the process of trying to win me back, but I'm about to teach him that you don't mess with a girl with a temper and a Jeep...

I watched as my boyfriend saved another woman when a rival club shot up the clubhouse. He never even checked on me as he took her to the hospital -- and I almost died. So I disappeared for a year, and when I came back, he was waiting for me. He wanted to win me back. But the way he'd betrayed me...there was no way to come back from that. He was convinced he could change my mind. Or die trying.
