Wolfram van der Waals makes no secret of the fact he isn't Charlotte's biggest fan, even though he's never met her before. A quitter may have given up on getting Wolf to like her, but Charlotte is determined to make it a very merry Christmas - and that includes getting Scrooge to crack a smile!

Until one day he makes her an offer too good to refuse...

He needs a wife. She needs the money. The playboy prince needs a respectable girl to play his doting fiance for the weekend. If he doesn't convince his parents he's a changed man, he can say goodbye to his crown and inheritance. Enter Jenny, an actress who has just been hired to play the role of her life. Especially since she doesn't like him. But soon the two find out that they will need each other in ways they never thought possible.

A girl learns the difference between being happy and being rich and is taught by an unhappy rich boy.

Ophelia Carter has been working for the famous Richards family for almost four years. In that time they have begun to trust her and treat her as one of them. She loves her job and the family, which is why she keeps her love for the eldest son, Sullivan Richards, a secret. Sullivan isn't exactly hostile towards her, but it's evident that he finds her mildly annoying, which has dashed any hopes Ophelia has that he might one day return her love. When the entire family goes on location to shoot Sullivan's latest movie, Ophelia joins them, and she is distressed to learn that the location is her hometown of Oak Island, Georgia. There, Ophelia's carefully crafted facade starts to crack as old ghosts that she would rather keep hidden are cruelly exposed. Will the Richards family stand with her? Will Sullivan prove to be the man she knows he is and help her slay her demons?

A thirty-seven-year-old woman who never breaks the rules finds herself facing unexpected consequences after a one night stand with a younger man. * * * ☆ FEATURED ON @WattpadStars reading list (stars did NaNo), @Romance (Romance spotlight: Featured stories), @AmbassadorsNG reading list, @Wattpad reading lists (escape through stories) (strong female leads), @WattpadExplorer reading lists (#CelebrateBlackStories), (Black girl magic) (April, Editor's pick) and @ContemporaryLit reading lists (Hot picks) (contemporary romance) (celebrate women's history month)☆ Genevieve Ukaji is a successful banker still single at thirty-seven-years-old.

With a new master's degree in hand, a sassy bartender navigates the perils of her family's bar business as she tries to escape her dysfunctional life. ***** Growing up under a neon bar sign with minimal parental supervision imbued JUNE CASHMERE with plenty of moxie. Raised by a narcissistic mother and a drug-dealing dad who stole her car and went on the lam, June has worked her way through college as a bartender in her parents' bar. She has a weakness for one-night-stands and a gift for reading a customer's taste before their butt hits the barstool, a fine skill by anyone's measure. Just days before snagging her master's degree and her ticket to freedom, June meets CABE FRANKLIN, a hazel-eyed hottie with humor and a surprisingly level head. He's in town long enough to make a business deal, and he doesn't leave until June is properly intrigued. But June's future plans go south when her mom decides to bail on the bar biz, dropping a load of legal problems in June's lap. Cabe, who happens to be in the real estate biz, helps June find her missing father so she can sell the bar, which happens to sit on a prime piece of beach property. Is their hook-up destiny? Or is it a cheap shot? The Bartender's Guide To The Galaxy follows the sexploits of an independent woman as she navigates everything the universe throws at her, including egos the size of Jupiter.
