Paige Chadwick has made a success of her life. Everything was in its place, just the way she wanted it. She was at the top of her profession. She was able to stay loyal to her ageing aunt who suffered from dementia by keeping her at home with her. She could look after her sister, financially. Paige felt proud of everything she had accomplished. Her love life was none existent. She didn't need a man in her life for anything. She was very self reliant. Yes, everything was neatly in order until the day she told her boss that she quit! From that moment her world turned upside down and everything fell out of place. Unaccustomed to women giving him the cold shoulder, sexy Media Mogul, Blake Deveraux, regarded his head of Media, Paige Chadwick as a beautiful enigma. Her fiery temper and hostile standoffishness ignited in him a desire to discover the real Paige Chadwick and the reasons why she felt the need to keep men at arm's length. Blake thrived on taking on challenges and winning, but for the first time, he was unsure of what the outcome of this particular challenge was going to be, especially since, unbeknown to her, he and Miss Chadwick shared a past.

(NOTICE: This book is being published on Amazon very soon and the full version will no longer be available on Wattpad.) When Maria Mast's ex-boyfriend is arrested for trying to kill her and for being involved in human trafficking, she thinks she's finally safe. That she can finally stop running. But the danger has only begun, because someone from the sex trafficking ring wants her dead, thinking she has information on them told to her by her ex. Agent Derek Turner from Covert Police Detectives Unit in Portland, Maine, is assigned to be her bodyguard. He goes home with her and her son to the Amish community where she was raised in Unity, Maine. Putting away her stalker is the most important thing to him, since that very same sex trafficking ring killed his wife for revenge two years ago. Though he is captivated by Maria's long hair, shyness and secretive dark eyes, he vows not to let things become personal. But when he shields her body with his own as bullets zip past them, watches her tenderly care for her young son, and learns more about her horrific past, his resolve to not fall in love with her crumbles through his fingers like farm soil. This story is one of top top 55 finalists for the SYTYCW contest. I'd love it so much (and I'll follow you and check out your works) if you vote on my pitch and first chapter. Thank you! :)
