When opposites attract and temptation lives next door. * After life throws Fallon Davis a curveball, she finds herself living in a dingy apartment, single-parenting her 3 year old son, and working at the dive-iest dive bar in town. College seems like an impossible dream from a lifetime ago. And dating? What's that? Hunter Kensington has had everything handed to him. Elite boarding schools; college tuition paid in full; and a cushy job waiting for him at his father's billion-dollar mining company. Sure, his secret aspirations to play professional hockey never panned out, he can't stand his backstabbing friends and family, and he's in a toxic on-again/off-again cycle with his ex. Everything is fine, because he numbs his brain with all the distractions money can buy-until his father cuts him off. When Hunter finds himself living in the same rundown apartment complex as the cocktail waitress he met at the bar, sparks fly... then ignite. Fallon is attracted to her handsome, athletic neighbor but knows she'd never get serious with a trust fund brat. Hunter is intrigued by his gorgeous, jaded neighbor but knows they're from different worlds. Fallon has walls, and Hunter has issues. Neither's had any reason to change... until now.

Colette: My boyfriend Zac thinks I accidentally crushed on him with a steaming cup of coffee which lead to our many chance encounters that made him realize that I was the perfect girl for him. But in reality, I stalked him for months, paid a guy to trick his high school sweetheart to cheat on him, created our encounters and pretended to be the girl he would fall for. This illusion of love as a means to an end, but somewhere while creating this pretense I fell for him. In a perfect world, I could come clean and expect him to forgive me. But this world is f*cked up and I have to continue this ruse. I am too deep in it now to turn back. My final trap is set and I hope he falls for it hook, line, and sinker. Zachary: I am not sure if I should be inspired by her schemes or laugh at her stupidity. It's naive of her to think she can manipulate me. Me, the soon to be a pro footballer who signed a multi million-dollar contract. Me, the son of the Senate who is running for president next term. Me, the grandson and heir of the automobile giant. I found out about her deception as soon as my girlfriend cheated on me. Col thought she is playing me like a fiddle. Nah. I was indulging her to see what she is really up to. I am yet to figure it out. It's not money because Col is the daughter of a billionaire herself. I thought it might be the social status that comes from dating me but she didn't want to go to any parties or social events I asked her to accompany me. Anyway, I am watching her cautiously and it's only a matter of time that I will catch her red-handed in whatever game she is playing. I will make her regret that she dared to cross path with me. I will make a lesson out of her.

Even though that pistol is aimed on the space right between his eyes, his awe is outweighing his fright. His admiration for her strongly set jaw and her confident grip on the firearm is overpowering his common sense. Even with his life in her hands at this moment, she is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. 》》》 Ellis Combs is a simple man. He gets by fine keeping to himself and tending to his quaint farm. His life in the mountains is sheltered, uncomplicated, and by some standards, utterly lackluster. While sometimes lonely, he doesn't mind it. It only takes one hell-splitting lightning storm and a single look at the girl with auburn hair to rearrange his unembellished grayscale life into a kaleidoscope of vibrancy he never knew he was missing. He also has no idea that her past will change his future. In 19th century North Carolina, the mountains can be all consuming and frightening. For Ellis and Madison, the possibility of real, unconditional love is just as scary. 》》》 Highest rankings: #1 Appalachian (12/21/23) #1 Woods (8/8/23) #1 Lost (1/15/23) #1 Cabin (7/20/22) #1 Wilderness (6/14/22) #1 Historic (2/1/22) #1 Mountains (10/23/21)

Highest #1 - #babies #1 - #motherlove Terrence didn't waste a moment in pressing me up against the kitchen counter. "When..." He growled in my ear, "When we will be getting married, I will be your only king, do you get my point? Only one queen, no misters or mistresses. Just me, just you, and yeah, our babies." I shivered. ************************* Alyssa Reynolds found herself in a situation, while returning home from work, and she had three choices: 1. Simply walk away and forget that you ever heard the sound of wailing infants. 2. Call the police and inform them about the innocent wails. 3. Follow the sounds of the wails and take the matter in your hands, deciding what to do later. Being a kindhearted soul and a sucker for babies, she found herself choosing the third option, finding the two little lives. Two little lives that changed her whole life, her love life included. Her life now revolved around the babies as diapers, vomit and shit seemed to surround her. Just when she thought that now it's just her and the babies, her whole world flipped over and she found herself living under the same roof as the egotistical, obnoxious and hot-as-hell Terence Powers, the business tycoon who was not going to let the woman fend off for herself and the babies alone.
