The House of Carrington by dawndwrites

Sabine Harlow and Shayne Carrington ************ [Can Oil and Water ever mix?] Carrington Enterprises, the most successful Oil Company in Dallas, Texas, comes under a personal siege. Philip Winthrop, owner of Winthrop Oil is still fuming that Bianca Thatcher married Colin Carrington, and not his son, Jagger. Greyson, the CEO, will not let Philip destroy The House of Carrington that his great grandfather built. Enter Shayne Carrington, with steel grey eyes and a chiseled jawline that could cut glass. He becomes the new CFO, at Carrington Enterprises and gains a financial assistant, Sabine Harlow. She feels he needs to be taken down a peg or two with his arrogance. Is his over confidence a mask for deeper hidden feelings? Will their battle of wills lead to a deep love that neither of them expected? "Hello Sabine, I hear we're going to be working together. Please don't think I had anything to do with that decision. Trust me on that! Please try to keep your claws in, during working ours." Shayne smirked as he handed me a file of paperwork with sticky notes. He wrote directions on the outside like I was a kindergartener. "Oh, by the way, your new desk will be outside of my office tomorrow. I'll see you in the morning, Miss Harlow." He moved his thick brown eyebrows up and down. He had the nerve to grin from ear to ear with his arms folded, as he stood before me. I was exasperated with him already. "I have until the end of the day, to decide if I am willing to be your assistant." I snapped at him with an extra smug and cold expression on my face. He leaned over my desk close to my face, with his steel grey eyes. Up close, I saw hints of blue in them. "I have no doubt, that you will be sitting at your desk tomorrow working for Shayne Carrington." He stated a little too sure of himself. I can't do it! Who speaks in third person about themselves?

Losing the love of my life taught me that inactions have consequences. My new bookkeeping job teaches me that numbers don't lie, but people do. Sharing yoga with others is my refuge from the darkness pulling me to stay home. A ginormous pro football player barging into my classes isn't in my rehab plan. Worse, it's the cocky jerk who treats me like I'm too insignificant to remember. If only I could say the same. Sam Pearson is Houston's golden, champion-winning quarterback. He's arrogant, rude, and reckless. His agent, my brother, thinks I can rehabilitate his injured shoulder and spiraling ego to achieve a long-term contract. I think Sam needs a reality smack in his handsome face. I should hate his rebellious distractions, but I can't stop challenging him out of his comfort zone. After losing most of myself along with my other half, Sam's woken me up inside. He challenges me, irritatingly, which is exciting and scary. He's dangerously close to cracking open my closed-off heart, revealing the secrets holding me back. And yet, he might also be the second chance at love I thought I didn't deserve.

Anyone But Her by LorPhoenix

Wren and Kenna hated each other in high school. Now mature-ish adults, they still hate each other. The problem? They're engaged. A year away from marriage, according to two of the most powerful people in the world: their parents. ***** Wren Castile and Kenna Gold are engaged...because their parents say so (and no, they're not kidding). Wren has one year to marry her former nemesis, or else. The fact that Kenna emulated her infamously anti-gay father throughout high school seems to be irrelevant--even to Kenna herself. Suddenly Wren and the girl she never wanted to see again are on the same (bickering) side as they face mandatory dates, disastrous family get-togethers, and their unhappy past. Wren is filled with mistrust, but to protect her heart, she might just have to sit back and let it lead the way.

"It's your name spelled backward, isn't it?" ***** The moment I first saw Aiden Klein, the first thing that came up in my head was how perfect he was. A good hard working man who loves his family more than anything else, Aiden Klein has been the subject of the desire of many women. His wealth and success as one of the most influential leaders in the business world are nothing compared to his golden heart. The world keeps asking the same questions over and over again, "How would he love his woman?" The sad thing is, we will never know. Because his heart has been frozen. Eyes are blind for any woman. Touch is forbidden for their skin. Aiden Klein cannot love a woman. Yet, I know that it's far from the truth. Aiden Klein can love a woman so fiercely, his love would break you. Because I've seen it once, accidentally. He's the broken hero. And I'm the villain in this story. © Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
