Damon Blackwood. Soon to be CEO of Blackwood Industries. If you asked people to describe him, the first words that come to mind are "stoic" and "mean." But if he wants to inherit his dad's company, he has to prove his maturity. So of course, he lies. He says he has a fiancé. Now he just has to find one. Olivia Lanhurst had nowhere to turn to. Parents dead, brother in the hospital, she did whatever she could to pay her bills on time. At 19, she gave up her dream of attending college in order to support her brother. When their worlds collide, sparks fly. But with these sparks comes the danger of fire. Join Olivia and Damon on their adventure as they form friendships, adventures, and maybe even love. ~ ~ ~ When the pain was finally over, I relaxed and opened my eyes, only to find Damon looking down at me, an unknown emotion clouding his eyes. I gasped in embarrassment when I realized that I'd been holding on to his arm this entire time. "Sorry!" I squeaked. He ignored me and turned around. "Jackson, you can go back to driving now." Jackson, who still hadn't spoken a word to me, nodded and silently went back to the partition. The car stopped and the two men switched spots again. Gabe and Damon kept giving each other looks. "Will someone please tell me what is going on right now?" I finally asked. Damon looked over at Gabe, who gave him a small smirk and nod. Damon looked straight at me. "Olivia, marry me." highest rankings: #1: comedy #20: romance

When she receives the invitation, Rebecca Adams doesn't know whether she actually wants to go to her school reunion. A lot has changed since she last set foot in that cringeworthy place. Her greasy skin has long since gone, her hair is far less frizzy these days, her crooked teeth are now nicely straightened, and her glasses have been replaced with contacts-yes, Rebecca has indeed changed. She is no longer the skinny and quiet little spectacled geek who always had her head deeply inside of a book; now, she is a successful and hardworking businesswoman. Quite a few of her former classmates have also gone on to become successful and hardworking, but none more so than Mitch Heston himself - now a very famous and in-demand actor; a criminally gorgeous, very famous and in-demand actor.... who is rumoured to also be attending said school reunion. As a teenager, Mitch was much the same as he is now - well known and insanely popular. Back then, Rebecca was just another one of the shy girls who Mitch Heston and his friends used to enjoy teasing and making immature fun of. Which is why Rebecca feels hesitant about going. Part of her wants to leave the memories of school well and truly behind her. While another part of her wants to show them all the woman that she so proudly has now become. Besides, it's probably just a wildly exaggerated rumour that Mitch Heston will even be there. Or maybe, a very well orchestrated publicity stunt? I mean really, why would the incredibly famous Mitch Heston, want to be at his own school reunion? Seriously, the A list him, wouldn't really attend this thing? ...... would he?
