When Manhattan socialite Noa Campbell escapes an arranged marriage, she doesn't expect to end up stranded in a dusty Texas town. But a broken-down bus and a meddling diner owner lead her straight into the path of Hunter Knight-a brooding billionaire rancher with a proposition as bold as it is bizarre: marry him in name only to help him land a career-defining business deal. Desperate for protection and freedom from her controlling family, Noa agrees to the fake marriage. But what begins as a business arrangement quickly spirals into something far more dangerous-feelings neither of them planned for. As family secrets, corporate threats, and sizzling chemistry collide, Noa and Hunter must decide whether their fake marriage is strong enough to become something real. Full of charm, heart, and slow-burn heat, Hearts in the Heart of Texas is a small-town romance with big emotions, high stakes, and a love that just might rewrite both their destinies.

🌟 WATTYS 2026 SUBMISSION 🌟 After her boyfriend cheats and says she's "not good in bed," a type-A psychology student launches a no-strings-attached sex experiment to prove him wrong-only to fall for the one variable she can't control: her ex's best friend. ********* Psychology student Lucy Bennett had her life mapped out with clinical precision: finish her thesis, marry her high-school sweetheart, land a research position, and start the five-year plan they'd been building since senior prom. Then he cheats. And worse, when he ends things, he tells her the reason he strayed was simple: she wasn't good in bed. Reeling from heartbreak, Lucy does the only thing she knows how to do. She turns the wreckage into research. Scrapping her original thesis, she proposes a bold new question: Does sexual satisfaction increase with experience? Determined to prove that sexual desire can be learned, not innate, Lucy becomes her own case study. Enter Mason Reid-her ex's infuriatingly charming best friend, campus jock, and the guy everyone whispers about being very good in bed. With his confidence, rules-free approach to sex, and a surprising respect for boundaries, Mason agrees to help Lucy "test her theory." What starts as an experiment in confidence and control quickly becomes something messier. And as the lines between research and reality blur, Lucy must decide whether proving she's "good in bed" matters more than discovering what and who actually makes her feel whole.

They say the best things in life are unexpected but so are the worst things. Especially the worst things. Lucas Cage has been blissfully ignorant to the harsh forthcomings of the world. Who can blame him? Growing up in a successful, millionaire family where legendary boxers are your blood has made him untouchable. His bold words, uncaring attitude, and cunning behaviour have always been forgiven by those who love and despise him alike. He's the devious boy that grew up into a malicious man even though his heart is in the right place. But what happens when tragedy strikes in his only known weakness: his family? His world as he knows it is turned upside down in the most unforgivable way and now he wants vengeance. He wants to hurt the way he's been hurt. And what better target than the only girl who's ever wrecked his heart? Olivia West has no idea she's become her former best friend's latest prey but that doesn't mean she's not ready for him. Because she wants her vengeance too and she wants it from the boy who shattered her heart all those years ago. She used to be his saviour but now she's his enemy and she plays the part disturbingly well. There's just one problem: devastation arises and threatens to rip both their families apart, something that's much bigger than the two of them. Their rivalry must be put on hold or they'll break under the weight of the world. For the first time in years they need each other, whether they like it or not, and discover that hate isn't the only passionate emotion that flares between them. But will they survive this unexpected path, or will they crash and burn? *Spin-off to the original FIGHTER'S DEN series. CAN be read as a stand-alone.

Paris, the city of love-yet for me, love has never come easily. My name is Sophie Marchand. I never imagined my path would lead me here-working side by side with Nicholas Deveraux, the powerful CEO of Vinci Group. All my life, I fought to rise above the loneliness of my orphaned childhood. I studied harder than anyone else, worked tirelessly, and built a career with one dream in my heart: to someday have a stable family of my own, a life where I was never alone. I never thought my beauty would open doors faster than my lawyer degree. With my professionalism and my looks, opportunities often came my way. That's how I found myself here-Nicholas's personal assistant. At first, he was my boss. Handsome. Poweful. Charismatic. I told myself I would keep things professional, that I would never blur the line between work and personal life. But the more time we spent together, the more his gorgeous blue eyes lingered on me, the more his charm wrapped around me, the weaker my resolve became. Finally, when Nicholas offered me a secret relationship-temporary, exclusive-I should have said no. I knew it could end in heartbreak. I knew there was someone else - his former girlfriend from a wealthy family, the woman his world expects him to marry - the woman he promised to wait for her to come back. And yet... I couldn't resist him. The temptation... Now, every stolen glance, every hidden touch, every whispered promise ties me closer to a man who may never truly be mine. When that woman returns, will he cast me aside? To him, am I only a lover in the shadows? I've survived being alone before, but this time... will I have the strength to protect my heart? Because the ache of belonging to someone... is sometimes stronger than the will to let go.

After being involved with a cold-hearted mafia boss, Robyn Lehman decides its time to run. Little did she know, she was carrying the future heir to his entire empire. Will he find her again? Or will she stay hidden forever? =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= He got up from the bed, pulling up his pants and not taking a glance at me. I lay in the sheets, still dazed by what we had just done. "Get up." He barks, making me jump a bit. I was confused beyond belief. Just moments ago he was making love to me... I did as he said, wrapping the loose sheet around my body, he continued to glare as I did so, and I made my way to his side of the bed. He held out a hand, an angry look on his face. "Don't. Just go. This was a mistake, and it won't happen again." He mutters coldly. I feel my face heating up and my eyes welling with tears. "Oh.." I stare at him, my emotions beginning to be hard to keep in. He laughs, shaking his head. "You thought I cared?" He let out a loud chuckle. "You mean nothing to me. Now go to your room, I don't want to see you in here again."
