[ Previously Not Love A Business Contract]

Juliet, a headstrong 19-year-old, wrestles with a devastating reality - her mother lies in a coma after a hit-and-run on Thanksgiving. As grief hangs heavy, another blow lands: a marriage contract. Juliet is to be wed to America's most eligible bachelor, Keith Carlton.

Devastated by a recent heartbreak with her boyfriend, Lucas, Juliet scoffs at the idea of love, let alone a forced marriage. Keith, a self-made billionaire with a gentleman's heart, is determined to honor the contract, showering Juliet with romantic gestures straight out of a fairytale and chipping away at the walls she's built around her heart.

Bound by an ironclad agreement, Juliet longs for freedom, and Keith harbors a dark past threatening their fragile bond. As they navigate their unusual situation, sparks fly. Yet, can a love built on obligation blossom into something real? Can they overcome their differences, confront their pasts, and learn to trust each other?

Dancing with Time is a captivating tale of forced proximity, where love ignites in the most unconventional of places.

When Rebecca moves back to her hometown for a friend's wedding, unfortunate circumstances put her near her ex-boyfriend, who left her completely broken. But her return seems to be more dangerous than she bargained for, and she searches for answers that were left unsaid. *** Becca Bradly didn't know what she was expecting when she was asked to be the maid-of-honor for her best friend's wedding. She lives in LA and has a decent life after successfully acting in a recently released movie. But she definitely didn't plan to go back to her hometown. The place she hasn't visited in five years. And the place where her broken heart still lays, shattered from her one and only ex-boyfriend. Michael Campbell was once someone people could rely on, but right before their senior graduation, that all changed, and when Becca finds herself returning home, she sees a completely different man in his place. Cold, detached and heartless, Becca finds herself constantly surrounded by the man she is supposed to hate most. And even though it's hard to ignore him when he's part of the wedding party, it's harder to do so when she realizes that the secrets he's been keeping all these years, start unravelling. The truth, however, was something she least expected, and now she has to fight for her life and the people she loves most.

Can't wait to read more! [heart]" - carolinegraced "I'm so hooked already" - a_lost_feather "From the summary I had a lot of expectation of a one night stand, one and done type of thing with drama to follow up in later chapters. What I got was something different. The beautiful descriptions of the beach town made me feel warm and cozy and kept me reading until these two characters were introduced. I thought their meeting was innocent and sweet, not what I was expecting. It was really good." - CourtneyPeterman0
