The CEO's Girl
Lyla has built her own empire from scratch, a successful company that she's fiercely proud of. Independent and driven, she has no interest in marrying for convenience-especially not Lorenzo Caldwell. The Caldwells and Lyla's family have always been close, and there's been an expectation that she and Lorenzo would eventually tie the knot. But Lyla wants nothing to do with a marriage that's based on family obligations. Lorenzo, the ruthless CEO of Caldwell Enterprises, has always been used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to his family's expectations. He's heard the rumors: Lyla, wealthy in her own right, must be eyeing his fortune. But he doesn't know Lyla-she's not interested in him or his money. She's already made a name for herself, and no amount of wealth can change that. As both families push them together, Lyla and Lorenzo are forced to navigate their differences, their assumptions about each other, and the pressure to marry for the sake of tradition. What happens when the cold CEO and the independent businesswoman begin to see each other in a new light? Can a marriage of convenience turn into something more, or will they both remain trapped by their own assumptions?Concluida![Free to Dream [SAMPLE: Amazon/KU]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/385488392-256-k463048.jpg)

Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Concluida

Hailey Groves never expected her sixth year at Hogwarts to be anything but ordinary. A Slytherin with sharp wit and loyal friends, she was used to navigating the complexities of Hogwarts life. But something about this year felt different. Off. Like something was waiting in the shadows-something she couldn't yet name. Then Draco Malfoy noticed her. He'd spent years keeping his distance, throwing jabs and cold stares. But now he was watching her differently-like he saw something familiar. Something fractured. Her friends said he was dangerous. But Hailey knew better. She saw through the mask: a boy who was protecting his life but losing his mind, who moved like survival was his only option. A boy who'd been forced into darkness before he understood its cost. And Hailey? She wasn't afraid of it. She stepped into it willingly, determined to help him carry the weight. Draco had secrets. But so did Hailey. And when the truth about her mother's death begins to unravel-when the web of lies surrounding her bloodline is finally exposed-Hailey must decide how deep she's willing to go for answers... and whether love is enough to keep her above water. Trigger warnings: depression, death, violence, alcohol, self harm, and attempt of suicide. (This is my first fanfic, so please be kind! And don't get scared by how many chapters there are. The first chapters are really short and then they get much longer.) Most characters belong to J. K. RowlingConcluida
