Satoh Tomiichi is a busy man. As the successor of his father's multimillion-pound company, he has neither the luxury nor leisure for love - and certainly not the distractions that come from it. But when a crucial project requires him to provide more than just facts and figures, Tomiichi is forced to rethink his strategy, and fast. To secure the lucrative deal, Tomiichi must impress Niraj Chabra, chairman of the luxury resort company OneRoyale. But Niraj is a traditional family man, and Tomiichi is a bachelor of a certain reputation. To succeed, Tomiichi seeks the help of an acquaintance, Ms. Jasmine Knight. The proposal is simple: Tomiichi and Jasmine shall pose as a happy couple until the deal is secured. Except there's one tiny problem. Jasmine has a roommate. A roommate that is unlike any woman Tomiichi has ever seen. She is opinionated, loud, and thoroughly unafraid of polite society. And when she offers to teach Jasmine and Tomiichi how to fake being in love, Tomiichi has the feeling that soon, he may just be falling for real ...

*WIP* EROTIC Roommate Romance *MATURE* 18+ "I've heard you at night. All I have to do is stand outside your door and I could hear the soft vibrations of your toys and the heavy breathing from you." Lucas whispered lowly. "I could even hear you moaning my name into your hand right before you make yourself cum."

~MATURE CONTENT WARNING~ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ One plan. One mission. There was no room for mistakes, and the slightest error could only mean death. But she was ready. It was simple. Get in, (brutally) murder one man and get out, expeditiously. Lola Summers knew exactly what she had to do. It was a task she spent the better quarter of her life preparing for. It was her life's goal. And she would stop at nothing to achieve that goal... even if it involved taking a calulated risk in the heat of the moment. Initially...Lola knew that taking risks, even if it helped her goal, was self sabotage. Overlooking those risks would be disastrous, and being unprepared for anything was suicide. In the heat of that moment, Lola hadn't for once considered any outside intrusion. She hadn't fully prepared for being seen, and most importantly, she wasn't prepared for being caught. More specifically... being caught by a man who had hesitated to kill her on the spot for what she'd done. A very strange man who made her shiver at the slightest touch and could disarm her with one penetrative gaze. A very peculiar man who wasn't very interested in letting her go either.

In the small town of Cottswald, Richard Lustberg is everyone's favorite-the golden boy with the easy smile and endless charm. But Shira Kaur has never fallen for it. She is his best friend's older sister, who is all sharp wit and slow, dangerous glances. Around her, Richard feels less like the good man everyone expects and more like something reckless, exposed. She doesn't flirt. She doesn't soften. She just sees him-and that's what unravels him. When a winter storm strands them alone in her house on the hill, the masks they wear for the world begin to slip. In the hush of falling snow, secrets surface. Old longing sharpens. And the safety of distance gives way to something far more terrifying: being fully known. Because love, they discover, isn't about who you are when the world is watching-it's who you become when you hand someone your heart and say, vulnerably yours. (1st installment of the New Wave V-Series)

Emilia Arundel is a romance writer. She has zero romantic or sexual history, except for a few awkward semi-dates she's gone to with a man who turned out to be married, broke her heart, and solidified Emilia's negative body image and her many insecurities. When another romance writer puts Emilia in touch with a dominatrix; as apprehensive as she feels, Emilia dares to visit The Top, an elite kink and sex club, where, to her own shock, she's approached by Daniel Oates, a famous restaurateur. As 'safe, sane, and consensual' as his offer is, what can he - a proverbially rich and powerful, mind-bogglingly attractive, worldly, and sexually experienced alpha-male - possibly want from Emilia? **Disclaimer** This book is now part of The Ladies of Letters & Lust series.

After landing a coveted accounting position, an ambitious accountant must prove his worth to his new colleagues, especially a grudge-bearing associate intent on making his new role hell. *** How do you recover from unrequited love? For Mark Dawson, the answer is moving to a new city. But New York has not quite welcomed him with open arms. Nor have his new coworkers, with their less than enthusiastic reception and passive-aggressive behavior. Ever the optimist, Mark is up for the challenge to earn their respect and ensure they do not mistake his kindness for weakness, starting with the gorgeous ringleader of the group; a cut-throat financial analyst who was vying for the same position. Sara Cruz is not just a pretty face and she's tired of always having to prove her value and losing out on opportunities just because she doesn't have an extra appendage between her legs. The most recent sting leaves her bitter and resentful towards the easy-on-the-eyes transfer senior accountant and sets out to send him packing, proving she is the better 'man' for the job that's rightfully hers. But with each attempt to discredit him, she's met with Mark's frustratingly calm and understanding demeanor. Sara realizes the bigger fight she must win-besides resisting his easy humor and attractive selflessness-is avoiding becoming a cliché office romance. ONC prompt #133
