"Little Valerie," said Kai, bending closer to me. "Are you blackmailing me into dating you?" He didn't seem particularly disturbed by the notion. In fact, he remained completely amused. "Yes?" Kai grinned. "Very mafia of you. I'm weirdly kind of into it." *** When Valerie Williams discovers that her long-term boyfriend is sleeping with her best friend, she devises a revenge plot to get back at them both. But when she asks bad boy Kai Delaney to pretend to date her, she never thought her heart would be on the line. *** Self-proclaimed pessimist Valerie Williams is definitely your glass-half-empty kind of girl. However, Valerie is surprisingly optimistic when her (ex) boyfriend cheats on her with her (also ex) best friend. Valerie doesn't believe in holding grudges; she believes in getting even. Which doesn't seem easy, until her boyfriend's least favourite person and her best friend's long-standing crush, the sarcastic, cocky and popular bad boy extraordinaire Kai Delaney crashes, quite literally, into her life. When Kai accidentally hits her car with what is practically a monster truck, and can barely afford to cover it, Valerie has an idea. If Kai agrees to pretend to date her, for long enough to make her boyfriend and best friend regret their actions, Valerie will give him the duration of their scam to pull together the money to pay her back. Revenge is a dish best served fake. [150,000-200,000 words]

Put those two together and Emily faces a force to be reckoned with, one that pushes her to the limit while driving her to the brink of madness. Emily King was no average girl. Raised with two older brothers and a dad who coached fulltime football, Emily's childhood was filled with massive amounts of testosterone, Gatorade, sweat, and footballs.

𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓. is one word to describe aiden johnson. I prop my elbows on top of the kitchen counter, leaning forward as I continue sucking on my cherry red lollipop. Glancing up, I stare directly into his eyes as I unhook my lips from the treat making a pop sound that echoed throughout the kitchen. He stared intensely at me as my tongue ran across the tip of the lollipop. I hear him groan roughly, desperate which causes me to wickedly smirk. The color in his eyes suddenly drains. He rounds the counter, stopping directly in front of me. "You're playing with fire," He mumbles dangerously low, looking down at me. His drained-colored eyes watch my mouth in awe as my tongue rounds the entire treat seductively. He narrows his eyes at me. "Then burn me," I whisper, taunting him, challenging him as I now stand chest to chest with him. In a fast motion, Aiden snatched the lollipop from my mouth, dropping it onto the ground before gripping my chin and forcing my head up. "Fire makes smoke, baby. You know that right?" My cool lips kiss his thumb which makes him tug my red lip. Staring directly into his eyes, I pull out another lollipop from my pocket, unraveling the wrapper. "The question is, can fire handle all of this smoke?" I whisper, bringing myself to his height to lightly brush my lips against his which makes him groan again. I suck on my new lollipop and turn around walking away, his gaze lingering on me until I was out of sight. I smile, knowing he was coming to find out for himself.
