Years later, he's hockey's golden boy turned runaway groom, with the press at his heels and nowhere left to run but her door. He wants a second chance. She wants nothing to do with him. Because the girl who once loved him is gone-and she's not waiting anymore. But the truth behind his disappearance was never what it seemed... and some secrets don't stay buried when the past comes back knocking.

A rewrite of my old Novel. "I have a sweet tooth," he said, his voice a low, gravelly rasp that sent a shiver straight down my spine. "And I'm craving double fudge." Kennedy is a one-woman army. She's fighting a family curse, a mounting debt, and the ghost of a grandmother who told her never to let a man tell her her dreams were too expensive to keep. But with a ten-month clock ticking and the neighborhood "shark" circling her front door, the fire in her kitchen is starting to feel like a death trap. Vincent Cunningham doesn't do "small business." He does hostile takeovers. He's cold, devastatingly handsome, and has enough power to crush Kennedy's legacy with a single signature. He expects her to fold. He expects to buy her out and move on. He doesn't expect the fire in her eyes-or the way her scent haunts him long after the "Open" sign flips. He's the predator. She's the target. But in the quiet hours after the ovens go cold, the line between business and obsession starts to blur. Vincent is used to owning everything he touches, but Kennedy is the one thing he can't buy-and the only thing he's starting to crave. [BWWM | ENEMIES TO LOVERS | BILLIONAIRE ]

L A N I Generous. Kind. Ray of sunshine. Lani always got what she wanted. Ethically, of course. Yet, the one man she craves refuses to turn his head towards her. Unkempt feelings for him grow day by day, and his being her brother's best friend is the roadblock she isn't strong enough to lift. But if he sees her with another man, will things spiral in the direction she wants? C A L L U M Blunt. Observant. Grumpy. Callum's only goal really is to become captain of the Chicago Eagles hockey team. The concept of love is foreign to him, and yet he feels compelled to accept the deal Lani imposes, seeing that his reputation will skyrocket once the relationship leaves their inner circle. But is this truly what he wants? Of course it is; love is trivial and has no space for someone like him. Ever. After an accident forces girl group singer Lani Warren on a year-long hiatus, she finds it the perfect time to admit to her childhood friend how she feels before her group's comeback. The idea seems great in theory, but what she doesn't foresee is the imposing appearance of the man her brother hates, Callum Livernois. They don't know each other and don't want to get to know each other. But striking a mutually beneficial deal requiring them to fake date doesn't sound all that bad after brief deliberation. Nothing will happen, and they won't ever be each other's catalyst in romance. Right? ©girlwounds

If there was one thing Jasmine Kalu wished was easier, it would be believing in herself and chasing her dream. And if Liam Ashford were to be in the picture, eliminating him from her life forever would be part of the deal. *** Jasmine had finally landed a steady job after convincing herself that it was worth putting her dream on hold for a nine-to-five. After all, a paycheck gets the bills paid. But her excitement quickly faded away when she discovered that the company's owner was none other than her brother's best friend, and her long-time nemesis, Liam Ashford. She hadn't seen Liam in like ten years, but it took no time to realize he was not just as cocky as ever, Liam was hotter, sharper, and dead set on making her life miserable. Liam Ashford was the charming, hot, and 'everyone likes him' type of guy, but to Jasmine, his charm was nothing more than an annoying cover for his infuriating arrogance. One would think that after over ten years of being apart, the two would have learned to tolerate one another. But that was not near possible, because right from the moment they reunited, it was the same old banter and heated arguments. But beneath all that banter, something new starts to bloom. As time unfolds before them, Jasmine begins to realize that there's more to this hate story of theirs. That the Liam she thought she knew might not be the whole picture. Can the two people who were so dead set on tearing each other apart turn around and admit the attraction they had for each other? A fun hate-to-love, brother's best friend, workplace rom-com.
