Ellington Percival Price is a minor scientific celebrity, but a major megalomaniac, convinced he deserves more fame and glory than have so far come his way.  When he opens his morning paper and sees his name mentioned in connection with a murder, he decides it's the chance he's been waiting for.  He'll make himself a suspect and milk the attention for all it's worth, whether that turns out to be his own prime time series or three hots and a cot on death row.

Blood vs. Water by stellathedingus

In a world of predictable stories, this particular one is anything but... Daphne Jackson, unemployed and unmarried, was forced into a nuisance. And as headstrong as she can be, she was in no control over what dangers she has been tangled into. Aurelio Romano's rather ominous business forced him into New York, but because of his nationality he could get caught and deported back to Italy where further investigation would lead them to find everything. He goes to immense measures to ensure his cover of innocence, security and legalism. As Daphne get's more and more involved, hidden mysteries become solved and the ugly truth surfaces. A powerful Mafia leader and a pertinacious young woman. What could possibly go wrong? ------------ Daphne sucked a breath when she found herself trapped underneath the muscular Aurelio. He looked her deep into the eyes and bend down lower into her neck. "This is what you wanted, yes?" She shivered underneath his weight and lifted her hands up to his chest. Suddenly the playful mood in her was all gone. His hand caressed her thigh up to her hip, and it didn't help much that she was in very short shorts and her shirt had ridden up halfway in the fuss. She felt his... every ...touch. Oh, how she had the urge to kiss the man right now, but she couldn't move. She had never been in this situation with a guy before. Much less a one like Aurelio. He looked at her, like really looked at her. It felt to Daphne like he was staring into her soul. What was he going to do now that he had her trapped? "You have my attention Daphne. Now what?"

UNRAVEL (unedited) by teirruh

*The First Volume Of The "Revelation" Trilogy* Alexander Price, a well-renowned billionaire and business tycoon, may seem to have it all in the eye of the public. With one failed marriage on his belt and another deteriorating one, he has closed himself off from love and happiness and has dedicated his time to only his work. Unfortunately, he cannot remain that way when the acceptance of a merger with another prominent company brings about shocking reveals of deceit, theft, betrayal, secrets and death from a past he chose to forget. Will he be able to overcome the challenges ahead of him? Will he be able to forgive himself when he finds out the devastating truth? _____________________________________ This is my first original novel and it took me forever to create a decent plot. I have seen a lot of Billionaire ex-wife stories that seemed to always start with the main female protagonist POV. I decided on starting with the male protagonist POV instead. Please do read, vote comment, share and enjoy. Love y'all.... Starting date: 07/03/2019

Love Will Tear Us Apart by Hazeldenise1986

I've lived a life of fear, depression, sorrow, bondage and feeling caged by my childhood. Now I am stepping into adulthood and I thought all that would change. Sure I will still have issues but nothing I couldn't get through with time right? ("Wrong") Danger came knocking at my door and I was hopeless but to do anything but fall and become a victim again like when I was a child because I was weak and scared. Until I am introduced to one of my best friend boyfriend who looked like a Wall Street trust fund gangster. He introduced me to my bosses boss, Camillo Costello-Capone. When I look into the tall sexy Viking archangel's stormy smokey gray eyes I didn't think that this godlike man ever seen a bad day or knew what it was because in his wealthy semi-royal life everything was giving or handed to him or he would and could take it. Boy oh boy was I wrong about him wrong about it all. If I once felt dead and broken when I met him I became alive and whole but being loved, wanted, needed and desire by him would only make me wish for death or something close to it.
