Gage Thomas has everything... Looks, Talent, Money. He's on top of the world. He is the U.S.A.'s most eligible bachelor. Even though he's a cocky asshole. He has never been in love before her and now he will do anything to hold on to this new amazing feeling.
Dare Williams grew up with very little. She is selfless and never complains when she doesn't get something. She works hard but doesn't get much in return. With little going for her she lands a job as an assistant for Thomas Industries.
Dare has felt love before, or so she thinks...that love lead her to nothing but pain. The immediate connection she shares with Gage scares her, she doesn't want to end up like she was the first time. Heartbroken and in a puddle of her own blood and tears. She tells herself she will ignore this connection at all costs.
With a wedding comes an open bar, and with heavy drinking comes mistakes and a headache.
It seems that both Dare and Gage have the same idea when they meet unexpectedly at the bar. Gage is baffled and intrigued by Dare for she doesn't know who he is nor does she care. Dare on the other hand can't wait to get away from him with his cheesy compliments and pickup lines.
Immediately taking a dislike to him she thanks the heavens she never has to see him again. Though she is in for a rude awakening when she wakes up next to Gage without her clothes. A hushed escape and a week later, Dare moves on from that night; sure that she would never see him again after their steamy one night encounter...only to see him at work a couple days later.
After all, anything can happen when there is a CONFLICT OF INTEREST involved.

UNCONDITIONALLY YOURS
(COMPLETED) He's everything she hates. A rich, arrogant, cocky playboy. She should be repulsed by him, but from the first moment she met him face to face, her heart of ice ineluctably set on fire. He had one mission. Something he had struggled for his entire life. Something that he was so determined to do, he once believed there nothing that could stand in his way. He should have known better. Nothing that you long desperately enough for comes without a price. But what price do you have to pay when you start to spend a little too much time around the one you were born to despise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I don't have anything to bribe you with, only my own words. Tell me, how will you ever be free if you do not take a risk every once in a while?" "I take risks." "You may take risks that give you freedom from your life, but I have a feeling this risk is a little different on many levels, correct me if I'm wrong." I began to think, did one single day really matter? Maybe it would help, maybe it was all I needed to stop thinking about him. "Make the most of it as it will both the first and the last time you are taking me to lunch, let alone ever seeing me again."Lengkap

My Vengeful-Ex
I stared at the girl in the mirror. She was only a shadow of the girl I used to be. Blue eyes, void of emotions and glint, glanced back at me. My lipstick and mascara were smudged, and my blonde curls were a complete mess from when he had fisted them while he pounded inside me from behind. "Whores like you deserved to be fucked bent over the counter of a hotel restroom," Logan's last words before he left the ladies' restroom echoed in my ears. A tear trickled down my cheek as a scream fought to escape out of my mouth. I bit down on my lip to stop myself from crying out loud. He had vowed to hate me till eternity and make me pay for every single one of my sins. The thing I was unaware of was that I would start to hate myself during this journey of betrayal and vengeance. -------------------- Christina struggled to make ends meet with her mom, who was suffering from cancer.

If only it was an Illusion!
"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living.
