She's his plus one. But she wants to be THE one. How does a cater-waiter suddenly become the Plus One of the country's--maybe even the WORLD'S--most eligible bachelor? Aspiring photographer Sophie Kinsale is tired of being a cater-waiter. For her, Los Angeles isn't the City of Angels--it's hell on Earth. But when a chance encounter at a gallery gig puts her in the path of Ian Tate--the young, hot hotelier who graces the covers of tabloids everywhere--the city of traffic jams suddenly becomes a road straight to her dreams. Ian Tate is desperate to hold onto his share of his father's hotel empire. But the only way he can claim his inheritance is if he proves to his father that he's got the right partner by his side. But how can Ian find a Tate-worthy wife when every woman he crosses paths with is throwing herself at him? Enter Sophie Kinsale: smart, beautiful, and the perfect cover for his search for the ideal addition to the Tate family. With Sophie as his Plus One, Ian is not only free to find The One, he's got someone to help him vet every woman he encounters. There's just one problem: his Plus One is more than a little distracting. Soon Ian Tate begins to wonder: is the cost of true love too high to pay? Pretty Woman meets Indecent Proposal in this breathless romantic whirlwind that spans the globe and maps the forbidden territory of one millionaire's heart.

Perfect Storm
Enemies to lovers- Boss/employee- Bickering and Bantering- Billionaire romance Second chance romance HEA romance novel If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. When I saw a job opportunity to work at a resort a few hours north of the cities, including a place to stay, rent-free, I jumped on it. But, unfortunately, what I didn't know was that the one who owned the resort was a man I owed a huge chunk of money to. All because of an accident I still believe he caused. Ian Lockwood isn't like any other guy I've ever met. The man's devastatingly handsome, gorgeous to be exact, and his green eyes are so damn intoxicating and intense that they wretchedly became windows to my soul. But he had one ugly attitude that turned me off. Calling Ian a jerk is an understatement. He's a straight-up asshole. Every time we're around each other, he does and says whatever he can to get my blood to boil. And he enjoys every minute of it. The problem I have with him is that he's an enemy. Yet whenever I'm near him, the irresistible fragrance that pours off him enhances my desires, and the area between my thighs intensively pulsates. And if my attraction to the asshole increases, I'm afraid he'll catch on to those feelings and take advantage of it by using me to pay off my debt. Even though Ian gets under my skin, I find myself falling for him the more bickering and bantering we do every time we're around each other. And if I can't get these uncontrollable desires of being with Ian under control, I'm afraid Ian and I will find ourselves underneath the sheets. That is if I don't see myself knocking him out of his misery before then.

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be.

Her wealthy employer makes her an offer she can't refuse: pretend to sleep with her son and later stage a fake marriage, all to tame his reckless ways. The son in question? Arien Arzhel-rich, goofy, and far too handsome for his own good. By day, he's a respected professional. By night, he's the spoiled heir wasting hours in clubs and scandals. His mother controls everything, and Sienna is just another pawn in her careful plan. For Sienna, it's supposed to be business. She's poor, drowning in responsibilities, and the money could change her life. But when she accidentally reveals the truth to Arien, thinking he might change himself for better, everything unravels. Instead of turning against her, Arien decides to play the game his own way-and somewhere between staged intimacy, a thousand clumsy mistakes, he already knew he had fallen head over heels for her. And the real danger? Sienna might just be falling too. ♪ The storyline belongs to @EliseInk The pictures and images used here are taken from Pinterest and credits go to respective people.
