Ariadne Lawrence, a 26-yr old woman who requires high standards in dating. She had no boyfriend since birth because she strongly believes in her "first-will-be-my-last" philosophy which her childhood bestfriends Serafina, Harriet, and Georgina contradicts by arranging blind dates for her. Ariadne is a businesswoman who spends most of her time at her pastry bakeshop managing and keeping herself busy and almost has no time for herself. Until one day, a notorious, rich, tall, muscular, and gorgeously handsome bachelor named Delton Foxner came into her life that made her confused as to whether stick to her beliefs or risk her heart to the man he just met.

WE SHOULD STOP NOW by EmilLock
34 parts Complete Mature
After fleeing from her scumbag ex and quitting college over three years ago Joanie Collins has now rebuilt her life running a little bakery back in her hometown. Happy to be alone rather than being hurt again, Joanie has built up high ice walls to protect her fragile heart and has sworn off all men. That is until troubled playboy millionaire Caleb Maverick returns home after being abroad for two years and they're forced to work together. Can Caleb melt this Ice queens heart and find peace for himself? ----------- "And what about me? Was it just a crush you had on me?" he says in a raspy hushed voice that makes me take a big gulp. I lean forward so I'm now closer also to Caleb and look him straight in the eyes. If we're going to be honest... then let's do this. "Your Caleb Maverick, everyone had a crush on you. The fact you were so oblivious to all the attention you got just added to your boyish charm. The girls at our school wanted one night with Ethan but they all wanted to settle down and marry you." I say honestly and Caleb actually looks surprised. He sits back in his chair looking genuinely puzzled, "That's not...that's not how I remember high school." He mutters before his eyes fix back onto me. "I remember being second best to Ethan for everything. Sports, grades, girls, Mia...you." he grits. ---------------------- The Sequel to 'More than just Neighbours'. I'd recommend reading that book first for these characters backstory x
