Claire has always been a lot. Loud. Bright. Sunny. She never thought it would hurt so much to hear that the man she could see herself choosing only sees her as something to use for those very things. So Claire does what she does best. She walks away. And it works. Until the bond snaps into place and she realizes being with him was never a choice. It was fate. And now the man who broke her? He'll have to prove he's worth keeping. ***this story explores mating bonds in humans as a cultural norm. There are no werewolves or supernatural beings in this world***

Charlotte Austin is very good at holding things together. She's a preschool teacher at an elite private school, trusted with the children of the quietly wealthy. She knows routines. Rules. How to keep small worlds safe and steady. What she doesn't see coming is how quickly her own life can fall apart. When her boyfriend's hidden debts leave her homeless-and a single mistake exposes how fragile her stability really is-Charlotte loses the one place she thought was untouchable. With nowhere left to go and her pride hanging by a thread, she refuses help... until reality leaves her no choice. Gabriel Whitaker is a man who believes in structure. Control. Clear lines that don't blur. As a member of the school board-and a single father-he's spent years protecting his daughter's world with careful distance and even firmer boundaries. A contract marriage solves the problem on paper. A temporary arrangement. Clear terms. No expectations beyond what's written. But living under the same roof changes things. Quiet moments become dangerous. Lines soften. And when the rules allow one mistake too many, Charlotte must decide whether borrowed stability is enough-or if she deserves something real. Because some agreements are easy to sign. And some are impossible to walk away from.

Ten years ago, Sloane asked the golden boy of their school to go out with her. He laughed. In front of everyone. She swore she'd never give Cole power over her again. Now she's back for their ten-year reunion-older, sharper, thriving in a life she built without him. And Cole? Still golden. Still infuriating. Still looking at her like she hung the moon. When a run-in with their old classmates forces them to pretend they're together, Sloane agrees-strictly for convenience, strictly temporary, strictly not falling for him again. But fake dating turns into stolen glances, almost-moments, hallway confessions, and a wildfire chemistry that's been simmering for a decade. And when Cole finally tells her the truth-that he loved her back then and was too scared to admit it-it shatters everything she thought she knew. Now Sloane has to decide: **Can she trust the man who broke her heart at seventeen...

That's my fifth payment" Falling for her brother's rival? Of course not. She'd rather eat dirt. For Isla, it was supposed to be a simple university project: observe, analyze, and leave. But you can't observe a predator like Noah Blackwood without becoming the prey. He's the new captain of the Blackthorns. The golden boy. The trustees' son and the visionary future of the University. But to Isla Maria Carter... he's nothing more than a SON OF A BISCUIT. He's her brother's greatest rival. Her biggest headache. And now? Her mandatory partner. Noah doesn't like being a subject; he likes being the one in control. And he has decided the only subject he's interested in... is her. HE WANTS HER TO FALL FOR HIM. SHE WANTS HIM TO FALL IN A PIT. HE WANTS TO KISS HER. SHE WANTS TO PUNCH HIM. FOR HIM, SHE'S THE CHALLENGE HE NEVER SAW COMING. FOR HER, HE'S THE PROBLEM SHE CAN'T ESCAPE. HE WANTS HER. SHE WANTS HIM-MURDERED. This season's game has officially moved off the field. But the question remains the same, "Who is going to win this match?" •=======• Cover by @elaradaven Well yes there are many kiss scenes in between (for absolute no reason acc to me) because, come on! It's my book and I love these things lol. Okay I know you guys. So, here's the spice level:- 4/5 🌶️ [UNDER EDITING]

A sunshine girl. A serious man. Multiple chanced meetings that changed everything. Aurora Blaire wasn't looking for anything serious-especially not while on a girls' holiday. But fate had other plans, for both her and Lucian Thorne: a brutally composed CEO who didn't do random, had never been in a relationship, and was too focused on his businesses to find love. What started as chance run-ins turned into something they couldn't ignore. But how does a man built on control survive the kind of girl who blooms in chaos? ------------------------------------------------------------------ ""Her tipsy boldness kicked in hard, and walked for the armrest near him-planning to sit there casually. But the world tilted, and instead of gracefully settling next to him, she ended up tumbling right onto his lap. His hand shot to her waist, steadying her with surprising gentleness. "Careful, princess." he said, his voice low and smooth, just enough to make her blush harder. "Oops," she giggled, cheeks flaming. "I cant believe it's you Mr. Serious." "Still drunk, I see." And with that, Aurora's mind took off in full chatter mode."" ------------------------------------------------------------------ #1 TEENFICTION #1 SWEET #1 GRUMPY #1 CUTE #1 FUNNY #1 GRUMPYXSUNSHINE #1 RICHGUY

"And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty, and beauty stayed his hand. And from that day forward, he was as one dead." Carl Denham ***** As Marco and i approach the table, Nick comes up behind us. I walk to my usual place next to Marco. Nick walks to his usual place as well and holds out the chair on his right. "You sit here from now on" he announces for everyone to hear, as he looks at me. "I am fine where i am thank you very much" I respond. I remember very well how last time he didn't want me there because Rhea was here. No thanks. You can save it for her. "I wasnt asking" He says drawing unnecesary attention to us with everyone here. "Well good. Because i'm never sitting there, ever! Isnt that Rhea's chair? You made that very clear last time" i retort. I know am being petty infront of everyone, but i dont care. He started it. I would rather sit on the floor than occupy his "mistress' "chair Nick surprises me by smiling. I expected him to get angry or something, especially that i'm defying him in front of everyone. So now i'm not sure whether to feel relieved or scared. He walks up to me and my eyes widen, What is he up to? I'm already sitting down, but he pulls my chair out effortlessly and pulls me up. I stand up in shook and watch him carry the chair i was occupying next to his. He pulls out the one Rhea occupied and replaces it with the one he just took... "There, you can either sit here or on my lap, those are your only options, its up to you" he says turning to look at me again with a poker face. No expression. Zero. I turn to look at everyone at the table, and they are all looking at me expectantly. I look back at Nick and he is the only other person standing. "Shall i choose for you?" He smirks finally. ***** #1 in Lovers (20/12/2021) #1 in New (24/03/2022) #1 in Passion (15/07/2022) Books by Bellamerce Book 1: Only For You Book 2 :When Stars Align Book 3: Fire On Fire Book 4: Diamond Hearts Book 5: A Crystal Love

She likes fashion, dating, not being on time and getting what she wants - until she meets Sean, who is like the clock striking midnight; he erases all her magic power. He is as mature and sophisticated as the dark roasted coffee he drinks, while she is like a lollipop: colorful, dazzling on the outside but empty calories and artificial sweeteners on the inside. The attraction is instant, but getting a kiss is only the first step. To keep their fire burning, they must accept each other's differences and decide if what they're building is strong enough to survive trials, jealousy, expectations, and the fear of becoming someone they no longer recognize.
