Some deals were meant to be broken. 

Blythe Davies is miserable. At 26 years old she has nothing to show for it. An spinster living in 1918 Birmingham, England working as a backroom inventory assistant to a haughty, uptight aristocrat in a tailor shop, Blythe is determined to work her way up the social ladder.  She is bound to shove every snide comment and disdainful look thrown her way right back in the faces of those who sneer down their noses at her. 
	When tragedy strikes Blythe is forced to make a deal with the very same kind of people she despises. Forced to turn her life around and dabble into the world of prohibited activities, she quickly realizes that she picked the short end of the sticks. However, she might not be in as deep as she thought she was. 
	The very same stranger that she despises for getting her into these awful situations might prove himself  different than the wolf in sheep's clothing Blythe thought he was. 
	Gunfights. Racing. Prohibition. Gambling. Lovers. 
	What else could go wrong?

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company.

5 parts Complete Mature
"Roses are red, violets are blue, I have got five fingers, the middle is for you." "If being sarcastic burned calories, you would have been one hell of a skinny bitch." __ Catching her ex banging a work colleague on their bed was the last straw that broke Camille's back. She is an obstinate woman that knows what she wants and goes for it and she is sharp-mouthed with the tendency to slay people with her tongue, a weapon of massive destruction that makes her a walking time bomb. She has been jilted time and over again and now she's beginning to blame her ill-luck when it comes to love on her plus-sized body, making her withdraw into her shells while depression feasted on her generously __ Alpha Asher is a born werewolf who struggles to balance both the supernatural world and the human world. At night, he is an alpha to a dangerous pack and a billionaire mafia boss. During the day, he is a sweet cocky bastard, viciously good-looking, a renowned fuck boy with an acute skirt-chasing habit, and a gym instructor who happens to be a strong unbeliever of love. It is said that two captains can't rock a boat, but it does spark the curiosity of how they will learn to co-exist when Camille is pulled into the supernatural world. A story of two witty creatures that even the creator of the world watches with amusement and finds rather intriguing. Perhaps obesity doesn't hinder the magnetic spark of true love.
