adult arrangement brokenheart business chicklit friendstolovers love lovestory originalstory relationship romance

Morgan Cahill loved her job... that is, until her coworker-slash-cheating ex-boyfriend Justin was promoted to be her boss. 

All of a sudden Morgan's love life becomes the main source of office gossip, and she dreads going into work now, though she would never admit it to anyone. When she meets a handsome businessman named Marcus, however, he suggests they enter a mutually beneficial arrangement. Could their ruse actually work?

The only woman Marcus Sato had ever loved wanted his money more than she wanted his heart. Even two years after their break-up, he refused to go on dates while his family hounded him to find a nice girl to marry. Desperate to end their constant badgering, Marcus finds help from an unlikely source: a cute marketing analyst struggling to maintain her own workplace reputation. 

Could she be the perfect solution to his problem, or is he risking heartbreak all over again?

He has a reputation to uphold and is never one to back down from a challenge. While life is about sacrifices, Talia and Lucas soon realize they may be in for more than they bargained for. Especially when the long days and late nights working together threaten to put not only their careers on the line, but their hearts too.

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1) by authorjlberg

Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.

He wanted her and everyone else he could get. But that all changed when Tobias Wrexler walked in... ©️ Copyright 2020 Demii Jada R. ©️ All Rights Reserved.
