Bess's life never went right. Her mother always called Bess her sad little accident. Her boyfriends demeaned her, killed her pets, and threatened violence on her. And becoming an Advertising Designer seemed always a little out of reach. So she thought that at least a marriage of convenience would work out.

She devised a three step program for success. Step One: Elope with her best friend from childhood, William Bryant. Step Two: Reap all the legal benefits of marriage and buy the house that William wants. Step Three: Never deal with love again.

But this strategy failed. After they get married, William slowly falls in love with her. When he confesses he fell in love with her because of her bed head and pajamas, it makes even less sense. Now Bess has to either face her unpleasant past with love or risk losing her best friend.

No Strings is a 80,000-word humorous Woman's Fiction.

Posting because this is probably the whitest complete book I have and while I like it, I don't want to officially publish it. It does deal with women, mental health (lightly), abusive relationships, and makes serious fun of Romance novels, Lifetime and Hallmark Channel as being unhealthy. The diversity is mostly on women. A few PoCs show up.All Rights Reserved

The Devil's Daughter (Devil's Right Hand MC #4) by Mack_2024

Chrissy Martinez is lost, but not the kind of lost that a GPS will fix. She's the kind of lost that takes years of therapy or a trip to one of those spiritual retreats to fix. At 19, she had no idea what her place would be in the world, but she could manage. With her mama and sister by her side, she kept her head down and worked a shitty job to hold the family together. That is, until her whole life came crashing down when her mother died and she lost the safeguard of her home in the same week. Wandering lost in a world without her shepherd, she knows her snarky attitude or quick wit cannot save her from this, she needs a map. And maybe, just maybe, she finds the very map she needs while cleaning out her mother's closet. Maybe, that map is in the form of a birth certificate. ---------- Skillet Lawson is the club goofball. His reputation for inappropriate comments and deadly sarcasm make him a staple in the Franklin chapter of The Devil's Right Hand MC. To some, his child-like banter and carefree nature may seem immature, but to Skillet, this is the epitome of maturity. Nothing is more mature than seeing all the shit the world has to offer and sticking your middle finger up at it. His life is pretty damn good now. He's got everything he could ever want. But what happens when the mysterious girl with curly hair and a bag full of secrets catches his eye? Now, the man who never takes anything seriously develops serious feelings for the beauty with a secret identity, even though he knows he shouldn't. Can Skillet resist the gorgeous forbidden fruit? Or will he fall under the spell of the devil's daughter? ------ Disclaimer: This is the fourth book in my Devil's Right Hand Series. While I recommend reading these books in order, this can be read as a stand-alone.

Female Stalker - A Brooklyn Love Story by Leylalubovin

Lola, a 30-year-old woman, finds herself stalking her boyfriend after a breakup, a position she could never imagine herself to get into, especially at this age. The book starts at a point when Lola has parked her car by her b/f's gym, waits in the car, hoping to see him when he exits the building. She knows what she doing is wrong, and she shouldn't do that, but she is not in control of her emotions, and it is quite the opposite. She feels she needs to see him and to talk to him. And while she waits, all kinds of thoughts are going through her head: "I have a feeling he is seeing someone. I don't want to think about what I'm gonna do to him!" and shortly after: "Maybe I should just leave before he sees me? No! I can't. When you are rolling off a cliff you just can't stop. I guess you need to feel the bottom. The only problem - you don't know where that bottom is." And she is trying to analyze how is it that she got attached to him so quickly and so strongly: "What has he done to me? Is it some kind of a spell? How could I get so attached to him so soon? Is this how true love is supposed to feel? Losing yourself in someone, completely? Or is that just the stupid me?" At this point, the reader may get the impression that Lola is the type of girl that rarely gets the attention of attractive men, and this is why she behaves like that. To their surprise, it turns out that this is not the case. Lola is a tall and astonishingly beautiful woman. She is fun and sarcastic. Men are flocking around her trying to get her attention. And of course, she is not flawless, just like anybody else. And the man she is stalking is just an average guy.. But we don't want to spoil you the whole story. This is a love story has passion and sex in it, as well as fights and misunderstandings. And the main question remains: will Lola succeed in getting him back, or her attempts will only backfire? Read the whole story and find out.

Her mother Angela, chained by her ankle, was only able to walk around the small space. When the day came and they were freed, Amanda being 4 years old, her life turned upside-down.

Being 20 years old and still only trusting her family and her only friend, Lisa, she doesn't know where to start. Sex doesn't need emotions and doesn't need for her heart to be involved. As for Blake, he'd seen Amanda for years without her giving him a glance. Working with her father as a mechanic, and her coming around now and then, made him curious about her. When they started sleeping together, he thought he had her but always waking up alone, he realized she had other things in mind. Amanda's finally an adult. What has become of her? Will she ever fully trust a man with her heart? Will she find happiness or will she continue to live her life being cold, heartless like some people call her?

Romie Adler's Musical Guide by KimberAnneGish

Romie Adler has been a devoted fan of music since she could remember, so much so that she chose a career path that involved making it; the words of the music that is. She is so close to graduating from UCLA with a degree in songwriting that she can almost taste it, but she honestly doesn't know how she is going to get into the business. By an act of fate, she gets pushed towards three talented brothers that just so happen to be an accomplished band that have a few albums that went platinum. She has been a huge fan of theirs for years, so it's almost like a wild dream when they hire her on to help write their new album. Since they are a band of real life brothers, they bring her in like she is an adoptive member of their family. Romie has never really had a family before, she has parents yes, but they were either never there, or they were way too self involved with themselves to pay attention to her; so once she gets invited to this very involved with each other family she feels as if she is being smothered; she's used to doing things on her own because that's all she's ever known. But.... she learns real fast that living in Hollywood can give you everything you want and everything you don't. Hollywood is filed with lies, love, almost loves, ex-loves, never going to be loves, and most of all finding yourself. Romie knows that somehow she can help herself through Hollywood and life as long as she has a song to guide her.

Impressing My Family by Lavidaaaloca

Althea Lathan is your typical doctor with absolutely no time for a love life. Her schedule is so demanding that even her friends and family have given up trying to keep up with her. So when her mother calls with news that her younger sister, Angel, is getting married, Althea isn't exactly thrilled. The family is expected to come together for the celebration, but Althea could hardly care less-especially since she and Angel have never gotten along. Their childhood rivalry never faded, and even as adults, they haven't made the slightest effort to mend their relationship. To make matters worse, Angel never misses a chance to mock Althea for being single. Determined not to give her sister any more ammunition, Althea turns to her best friend for help. The solution? Hire someone to play the role of her boyfriend for a week. Her friend finds a man willing to take on the job-but what starts as a simple arrangement quickly gets complicated when he begins to catch real feelings for Althea. Now the question is: will Althea let down her guard and open her heart, or is she only using him to save face in front of her family?

Twisted Warmth by FreakyHell

The twisted series 2nd generation ff. ( also contains characters from the Sins series) *BOOK-3* (Can be read as a standalone) ----------------- "What began as a kiss to save face became the truth their hearts could never deny." Amy Chen Ambrose has spent the last three years lying through her teeth. Famous photographer. Sunshine personality. Fierce, bold, untouchable. And-according to her friends-hopelessly possessive of the mystery boyfriend she never lets them meet. The problem? He doesn't exist. Until the day her friends corner her in the middle of a tourist spot in Singapore, demanding proof. Trapped and desperate, Amy does the unthinkable-she marches straight up to the one man she swore she'd never involve. Eithan Harper. Sharp, grumpy, infuriatingly controlled. The boy she grew up with. The man who built an empire protecting women. And the last person she ever imagined kissing. But when her lips crash against his in front of an audience, a lie becomes the only truth that can save them both. For Amy, a fake boyfriend means freedom from her friends' pestering-and publicity she can't ignore. For Eithan, a fake relationship means keeping meddling socialites (and a very determined seventy-year-old Laurel Macaulay) off his back. Rules are made. Lines are drawn. It's all pretend-until it isn't. Because one kiss was supposed to solve her problem. Instead, it ignited his. *(Can be read as a standalone)* Trope: Fake dating, grumpy x sunshine ___________________________________ The pictures used for cover and aesthetics are not mine, credit goes to their respective owners ___________________________________ WARNING⚠️- 1. Very very slow updates 😭🫂 2. Mature contents so please read it at your own risk. 3. And bad English... Honestly you will know after reading it... 4.

Everyone's Best Friend Needs A Girlfriend Too by romcom_enjoyer

18+ ONLY. This story contains mature themes and explicit smut. Read at your own risk. Contentedly single and successful at 30, Lingling has built her perfect life after overcoming hardship. Marriage? No thanks. Dating? A nuisance her meddling best friends keep forcing on her (as she's the only single person left in her group of friends). She just wants to support them, especially Lookmhee on her wedding day. But fate-and maybe Lookmhee-has other plans, leading to a clumsy bouquet standoff with a captivating ash-blonde woman. Lingling thinks she's escaped the matchmaking trap, only to agree to babysit Lookmhee's cousin... who turns out to be the very same woman she accidentally fought over flowers with. Maybe fate, and her best friends, know best after all? A/N: So, I began writing this story while in Thailand last week. It's my first trip out of the country (where I'm residing) and I was writing this because I was a bit disappointed when I couldn't see any LingOrm billboard ads during my first day (only saw one, the Ichitan one in Chiangmai and it was my last day) 🤧 So yeah, to make myself better, I wrote this out of nowhere but it's still unfinished...though I plan to continue writing this but no idea how this story will turn out. The story is typical but yeah I was needing distraction at that moment so I didn't really care. Anyway, I should prolly stop being a silent fan and meet other JKRs so I knew where to spot LingOrm ads the next time I'll travel back to Thailand HAHA.

The Memory Between Us I LingOrm by shazzy1612

Prologue - The Memory Between Us They said time would heal her. But two years later, Ling was still staring out the glass window of her penthouse, fingers wrapped around a cold mug of coffee she never finished. CEO. Heiress. Fiancée to a ghost. Her world ended once... And then again, when she was forced to marry someone who wasn't even hers to begin with. The vows weren't meant for her. The dress wasn't either. But the name on the marriage certificate? Ling Ling Kwong. And the bride beside her? Orm. Her sister's fiancée. It was supposed to be temporary. A contract. Just one year to protect the family name and walk away. But no one told her love doesn't follow contracts. And no one warned her how cruel memory could be. Because just when Ling finally opened her heart again... Orm forgot everything. Forgot their laughter. Their fights. Their promises. Forgot her. And now, Ling wasn't sure she had the strength to lose her all over again. DISCLAIMER This story is purely fictional. It has no connection to real-life events, individuals, or entities, whether living or deceased. Any similarities are purely coincidental and unintentional.
