A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence. There's a careful craftsmanship in world-building, character development, and theme." Scripturam Awards "A truly unique story with a quite remarkable a plot! It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City Awards

Frustratingly good. ~91K words ~~~ Warnings: - Language. F-word, mostly. - Chapter 52 has mild sexual content.

It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP ContemporaryLit's Contemporary Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction profile - WP Action profile's Romance in Action reading list ~~~ Reviews: "The plot is completely original and this is honestly the best and boldest love-triangle I have ever seen. Not to mention the characters. It's hard to not enjoy a book with such good vocabulary and descriptions, especially with the humor that emerges every now and then in the book." The Authors Books Awards "I don't know how you came up with the ideas, but it was amazing! Wonderful book." The Rétrograde Awards "The writing flow is perfect and every character are sophisticated and somehow cunning in the beginning, which is a great way to make your characters more interesting in the further chapters. I really enjoyed your story." The Evergreen Awards "I like the cynical, humorous style can 100% relate!" The Sterling Awards "The chapters were crisp and humorous. Action and humour don't actually come together many times, but this story has won in that genre."
