"He was... he was something else. I wouldn't really know how to explain John. Nor what he meant to me. It was like drowning yet it was like having the big breath after being underwater for so long. It was like finding yourself and losing yourself all at once. It was intoxicating yet it was like the air I needed. Sometimes I wished he never happened, yet I don't know what I would be without him. He was my angel in disguise. And my love for him...it's like this roaring fire devouring the forest, consuming me in flames"

20 year old Lacely Garcias' life was anything but perfect, but to her, her messy life was something normal. Well before her mother got diagnosed with cancer. Before she had to work two jobs and before she was failing her classes. So what happens when John Novako, a man she doesn't know proposes money-money she needs- in exchange for her to pretend to be his wife?
Lacely is thrown into a life she's never known and struggles to hold on.
Truths are told, things are unraveled, drama is being scattered, people start finding themselves, sorrow unleashes, and in the midst of all of this, love is developed. A love that tried to be tamed, but the flames, sadly, couldn't.

The Stranger I Wed
"You exist for me now. Every inch of you--mine." His hand trailed down, settling possessively on my stomach. "And soon," his voice darkened, "you'll carry my child. One night. That's all I need." A shiver. A breath. His lips grazed my throat, burning. I clenched my fists. I wasn't a wife. Not a partner. I was his obsession. His vessel of desire. And worst of all? I wasn't sure I could tolerate it long enough to bear him a child and guarantee my family's safety. ********** To save her family from sudden financial ruin, Camille Roosevelt gets married into the wealthy Ashford family. In secret meetings before the wedding, she meets her soon-to-be husband, Christian Ashford, whose intense obsession and possessive nature quickly become evident from their first meeting. He demands her submission, subtly treating her as a mere vessel to fulfill his desires, but after their wedding, everything suddenly changes. Christian, once all-consuming, suddenly grows oddly distant and avoids her presence, leaving Camille relieved but still curious about what could have caused such a drastic shift in his behavior overnight and how they are to make an heir under such tense co-existence. The truth, hidden beneath layers of deception, may be more than she could have ever possibly imagined.

Jonathan and Isabella will have a HEA. "You know," he replies, starting to move back and forth in front of me. "I used to ignore the fact that you don't have a name or a very nice background. That you did not attend a great university or whatever. It wasn't crucial to me. But now I recognize you for who you truly are." He comes to a halt and looks at me with contempt. "White trash. Aren't you one? Isn't that how they refer to folks like you?"Jonathan....! Jonathan?! I shake my head at him, completely stunned and shocked by his statements. What? Do you think this...?

Unravel
"I think it's best we stay cordial while we're here. You know, avoid any awkwardness," I say, trying to sound casual. Jay leans against the doorframe, his eyes flickering with amusement as he watches me. "You want to be friends?" "No. I mean, not friends. Just civil," I answer, a little too quickly. "Okay. I can do civil," he says, his gaze never leaving mine like he is trying hard to read me. I look away, suddenly too exposed beneath his gaze. Damnit!This is going to be harder than I thought. - It was a moment. One that could have turned into something more.Until she walked away. Eight months later, Ira has to face him again. And this time, there's nowhere to run. Not for at least a week. After all, it's her best friend's wedding and he's invited too. So, she does what she's always done best-pretend. Pretend nothing happened. Pretend he didn't matter. Pretend her heart didn't skip a beat the second she saw him again. But Jay? He's not playing pretend. With that maddening smile and the kind of charm that should come with a warning, he's determined to remind her of everything she's tried to forget- even the years she's spent years mastering the art of detachment. He's the only one who's ever come close to reaching the version of her that she thought, she had buried long ago. And that's what makes him dangerous. Because she shouldn't return to who she was. She's ice. And he? He's the fire that never stopped burning. The real question is: Can she let his fire thaw the ice that's long been her shield?Lengkap
The billionaire series: A Billionaires Reputation
"No," I almost laughed out of frustration looking back at him, "you really dont." "****, your kind, funny, family-oriented, and not to mention beautiful as hell." He smiled which caused me to blush uncontrollably. He grabbed me in a hug which I didn't want to respond to but did. Eventually I had to let go. "I can't do this with you *****, I'm not the type of girl you want to be with," I said trying to get out of his grasp but couldn't. He holds me too tight for me to escape. "**** you are the exact girl I wanna be with." He said looking at my lips. I tried to back up but he instead pulled me closer with his arms that were already behind my back as my hands stay stationary in front of his chest giving me distance and support. "*****, let me go." I whisper trying to gather my thoughts that were all over the place. "Never" he responded bringing his lips in quickly and kissing me. --------- Don't wanna ruin the surprise so the names are replaced with '****' --------- Love, loss, power, failure. All parts of a strong willed family that needs to stay together no matter what. To pass the torch down to the next generations was a jump but when you trust and care it will get easier. Oh especially with 8 kids and couple grandkids. ---- Still being edited and fixed!Lengkap

Diamond Heart 💎
------- He loved the girl that can't love him.....And now he can't love the girl that loves him -------- ** "Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out. He tilts his head back over the back of his chair in a lazy laid back way, his thumb and fingers now holding his chin, as he watches me leave, still with a small smile on his face. "I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble. So he moves forward with his future, making sure that no woman is unclear about his intentions about love, or carries any hopes of marriage and happily ever after..that is not in his destiny. It's really simple actually: -Nothing lasts forever... especially love. -Nothing is long term... When it comes to his relationships. -Everyone is replaceable... So don't get too comfortable. But that is not to say that the ride will not be exceptionally enjoyable, while it lasts.. But such an arrangement, is not something Raquel St Patrick can wrap her head around. Whimsical, Peculiar, Optimistic, Independent, Eccentric, Deviant...are all words one can use to describe her, Her very nature is to go against the odds. For her, it's all or nothing. Can Aaron convince her to jump along on the ride with him on his terms....?
