An upcoming fashion designer who hides under the alias "Dazzling" has taken over the fashion world, and the social media franchise with her beauty. Her mixed heritage and incredible taste in style make her very noticeable in the a-lister world.
Matteo Howell, a well-known actor, and model takes a notice of the truly dazzling woman but doesn't care much for her because of her quiet, posh, and reserved personality. His mother, a widowed English author, does. Noting some things about the young woman she meets at a charity gala, she asks the beautiful girl to marry her son.
Matteo doesn't like the deal, but when Dazzling accepts it, he's pulled into a marriage with a woman he doesn't care for.
Can he learn to love this woman? Will he learn her reason for accepting the marriage? Is he really as heartless as he seems outside of movies?
"I...I don't understand...I speak fifteen languages, but I don't understand..." I whisper as Matteo leans over me, one arm holds me in the corner, the other he leans against as it's held above my head. Even though I'm in heels that raise my height by two inches, I'm still much shorter than this man.
"I said, 'Darling, you're dazzling,'" Matteo smirks at me.

The Unforgettable Infatuation
I can feel his blue-gray eyes digging into the side of my head. I wipe my sweaty palms on my dress and turn my vision away from the moonlight reflecting onto the ocean off of this balcony. Sure enough, he is looking right at me, an intense look in his eye. My mouth feels full of cotton. How can this man make me feel this way after eight years of not seeing him? Nobody else has ever made me feel like this before, except for him. "W-why are you looking at me like that?" I whisper. I'm expecting him to ask me, 'looking at you like what, Darling?' But he doesn't, and something tells me that he knows exactly what I am talking about. "Because, you are just so...prepossessing, Darling." He whispers, and his voice sends a chill down my spine. I shiver. I swallow loudly and drop my gaze to my lap, my hands shaking slightly. What does prepossessing even mean? "Am I making you uncomfortable?" He murmurs. "U-um no." I shale my head slowly. He stands up abruptly, causing me to look at him. His body towers over me, his eyes searching my face for something that I'm not quite sure of, and then he holds out his right hand. "Will you dance with me?" ______ Casey Baines has had a difficult life, but unfortunately it's a life that fifty percent of American's endure.

The Mutual Attraction (#3)
"I can't do this ! This is wrong !" she exclaimed loudly, trying to prove her point. "Miracle, I really don't have time for this. I am sure whatever was decided was decided for good. Now quit whinning like a baby and get to work. I don't want our professional lives to be clashing with our personal lives. The rest of the discussion on this topic can be completed at home." He said in an overly calm tone that sent chills down her spine. "Kayden ! How can you even agree to this marriage ? You don't even love me and you have a girlfriend already, for heaven's sake !" Miracle continued ignoring Kayden's demand. This wasn't right ! And she was going to prove it. She was going to make Kayden understand that there is no reason to put their lives on hold just because their parents thought they were perfect for each other. She didn't even feel anything for him other than a feeling of pure friendship. Kayden's giant figure looming over her brought her out of her thoughts. "My girlfriend can be discarded, Miracle. And once again, this discussion is over. Don't ignore my words, baby. I don't like to be ignored." His cool minty breath fanning her face and the fact that he had to literally squat down to whisper to her made her stomach do a weird flip. At that very moment, Miracle realised, that there might be a teeny tiny bit of a MUTUAL ATTRACTION between them. ************************************ This is the third installment in THE ATTRACTION series. To understand more about this story I suggest you read the second installation first. So you will know more about the characters. Other than that it can stand on it's own :) ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED !

CHRISTIAN
CHRISTIAN One moment he's being a complete flirt and giving her goosebumps. The next moment he's being a jerk. One moment he's saying things that remind her of things she doesn't want to think about. The next moment he's back to being the cold Mr. Christian Reeves. As if he wasn't talking about them a while ago. "Ughhhh he's so frustrating!" Camille whisper screamed holding her head with both hands. "Okay what did I miss?" Jenna asked suspiciously. "What do you mean?" Camille bit her bottom lip and asked innocently. She knew exactly what Jenna meant. "Cami darling, I've known you for years now, I know something's up. I can tell from your agitation. So spill it, what was it?" Camille knew she wasn't getting out of this. "Umm... okay. Christian and I... kind of... might have... had... a-one-night-stand." Camille said carefully measuring all her words carefully at first and then saying the last part at once hoping Jenna wouldn't catch it. Jenna's eyes went as wide as her mouth was right now. Seeing her react that way Camille hastily added. "But wait it isn't recent. It happened like more than a year ago and I didn't know what to do about it so I just slipped out without saying anything, you know like without a note. Or anything. I just left." Jenna was still processing the whole reveal. "In a hotel room." "Girl you've got to be kidding me right now!" Camille gave her a guilty 'I-wish-I-was' look. "He is one of the hottest most eligible bachelor of California right now and you seriously left him in the hotel room without saying anything what were you thinking?" Jenna finally spoke. "I didn't know he was Christian and I didn't even know who Christian Reeves was for God's sake. And let's just say it might have bruised his ego." "You are damn right it did." Jenna laughed her heart out. "I'm in so much trouble, aren't I?" She covered her face with her hand. And Jenna couldn't stop laughing.Complete
