Where there's a Will, there's a Tiara | Complete (ONC 2021 Longlister) by authorelizasolares

When her parents die in an accident, 27-year-old party girl, Adelaide Becker, sets her sights on inheriting the family fortune. But when the will is read, she is not surprised to find her parents are capable of ruining her happiness even from beyond the grave. If she hopes to inherit the family estate, she has to follow one not so inviting rule: move to the English countryside and live with a long forgotten grandmother. For a year. Begrudgingly, she packs her things and leaves the sandy shores of Greece for the small, ramshackle house her mother grew up in. Between the drafty room, the terrible food, and the young carpenter who seems more intent on sweeping her off her feet than fixing the roof, Adelaide is convinced her parents set the whole thing up just to punish her for indiscretions. She's determined to beat them at their own game and survive the year, but when her grandmother hands her a ring and a letter and declares her engaged, Adelaide might finally snap. *** ONC 2021 entry for prompt # 74.

A lie in church. ✔️ by xona2o18

Highest rank[#1 in Billionaire] [#1 in youngadult] [#1 in NewAdult] [#1 in Fiction] STARTED:10th January 2019 FINISHED: 11th August 2019 When Chloe followed her big sister to her sister's best friend's wedding, she didn't expect the groom to stop his vows and proclaim her as the love of his life and mother of his unborn child. She was seeing him for the first time and was still a virgin to be carrying his child. What was supposed to be a happy event turned out to be her worse nightmare. All it took was one lie for her family to toss her out of their lives and her boyfriend to break her heart and dump her.

The Subtle Art of Love and War by rollenjoy03

COMPLETED. MATURE CONTENT. ______________________________________ Stubborn heiress to the Langford fortune has been arranged to be wed to the powerful heir of the Fiennes fortune. Two extremely rich and powerful houses set to be united as one in marriage in six months time. Josephine Langford is as stubborn as a bull and no one can make her change her mind about something she doesn't believe herself, so when her parents told her about being betrothed to another powerful family's heir, she throws a fit and demands that the arrangement be called off. Her parents' refusal to cancel the wedding forces her to take extreme measures. She knows this marriage isn't about love but all about fortifying their family's wealth. She detested this part of her charmed life. Somehow, she needs to find a way to put an end to this medieval arrangement between the Langfords and the Fiennes. She's an extremely private person and with the help of their family's wealth and connections, barely any picture of her and her identity has ever landed in the internet and publications. This gives her the idea to get the full dirt on this Hero Fiennes-Tiffin she is set to marry without him knowing that he is actually put under a microscope. As far as her research goes, the guy is nothing but a ruthless tycoon by day and a complete player by night but she isn't one to judge a person by what the internet or newspapers and magazines say-those can easily be fabricated-whereas if she gets to see firsthand who this guy really is and what possible proofs she can gather to convince her parents to cancel the engagement, it would be the best and really the only option she has. Two months. She has two months to get to know the guy before their wedding is announced to the whole world. Two months of pretension and deception. Two months and she'll finally be free of this madness.

Sacrifice For The Job by imjustvibinfr

(This story is mostly smut as I plan on my next release being more innocent and lacking in that area. It also focuses very little on side characters since I wanted to keep the story short after feeling like my more recent stories have been a bit too long) After having the glow up of her dreams, Aria Hart finally believes she can get and do anything she wants. With that in mind, she goes after the job her ill uncle had always dreamt for her. She knows it will make him proud and believes pretty privilege will work in her favor. To her surprise, when she finally speaks to the man in charge, Elijah Caddel, she realizes that pretty privilege comes with a lot more opportunities than she previously imagined. Not all of them great. Aria finds herself in a deal she would have never imagined. One that actually makes her scowl upon hearing it. But when that deal can make or break her promise to her sick uncle, she feels she has no other choice but to accept it. After hearing the severity of the terms and experiencing it firsthand, Aria can't decide how she feels about their new agreement. Or how she feels about Elijah. (Similarly to "No Good For You", this story only details the start of their relationship. Not the during.) (Warning: this story is for readers 21+, intense smut scenes and language are included. Reader discretion advised.) (Story does switch POVs)

Discover Love by Doodlly

Amelia was working in her dream job. Good job, good pay, and good boss! Then, something changes and life takes an unexpected turn. Welcome to the unpredictable journey of Amelia. Preview ******** "Don't provoke me Amy" He groaned, his eyes darting towards my lips. "ugh? Wha? - what did I do now?" I almost crocked as I wet my lips again. "This" He swooped down to capture my lips. It was not a gentle kiss. It was hard and passionate and I couldn't do anything but be melted. My core throbbed as my hands went around his neck to clench his hair. His heat engulfed me and just when I thought my knees will give away, suddenly everything went cold. "Wha-t huh?" A moment before we couldn't have enough of each other and now, he was standing away, near his huge window, staring at me. "Please leave Ms. Wilson" his voice was tart. I couldn't believe we were back to the last name basis. "How dare you?" I was furious. "Tone, Ms. Wilson" His lips were a thin line. "Then behave, Mr. Holden" I straightened my dress and hair and turned on my heel. *************************************************************************** Greetings, Thank you for giving this book a chance :) Please read, comment and hit the Star :) --Cover pic credit to squammie.wordpress.com/
