betrayal church ending grumpyxsunshine happy lovetriangle rivalry romance sunshine university

I never cared for going to church. Yet I had a role to play in the community. If I look pretty and stay silent, then I would get the privileges of having my mom and dad's money, therefore I would live comfortably... 

Pearce Roman Hayes is the son of the most cut throat Pastor in our state. He holds his head high and keeps his face in a calm smile. Ever the charmer, with the face and body of an Angel . His eyes are a different story... they say the eyes are the window to one's soul, I'm starting to think Pearce doesn't have one.

 Now Pearce has come back to town to study at my university, and I just know that whatever he is planning is not good for me, but... I am a curious person... and he might just be a new temporary fixation, so truly, what's the harm in indulging?

The Professor and I by Serenityytheauthor

"Fuck, why do you always make things so hard Rayne?" he stood there with an intense frown on his face. "What do you mean Spencer?" I crossed my arms. "You always run away," he now held a sad face. I was hesitant. "We both know this will never work let alone the consequences" He walked closer and lifted my chin, forcing me to look at him. "I could care less about the damn outcome." he made direct eye contact with me. "I- I think I fucking love you." Rayne has always been the golden child of the family, always tamed but not yet impressed with the opening of her life. Spencer is just an average professor (you'd think) Spencer loves teaching and helping people grow but yet he's so mysterious when he's off campus. ***NEEDS MAJOR EDITING***

"So... you're in college?" His voice was soft but filled with curiosity as he took a sip of his coffee. I looked up to Pico as he spoke. "Yeah; I'm majoring in Culinary." I replied, taking another bite of hash brown. The ginger gave me a warm smile that made me feel flustered and a bit embarrassed at the same time. "You must be really good then. I wouldn't mind trying your cooking out sometime." He winked, making me blush slightly.

Hired By A Mafia Boss by ThelmaAkosa

⚠️⚠️I apologize beforehand. This story is under subtle reconstruction, so please do not get confused if you see changes midway. It's still the most beautiful love story you'd read, so please give it a chance.⚠️⚠️ "What in the world, kid?" The roar erupted from the sleek Lamborghini as its owner, a man who could easily pass for a Greek deity, emerged from the luxurious vehicle. Scratch that, he practically embodied one. But wait, did he just refer to me as a 'kid'? For heaven's sake, I'm 23! "Are you out of your damn mind?" I snapped back to reality as his furious voice pierced through. Despite his mesmerizing Italian accent, my anger still simmered. How could he? After nearly running me over, he had the audacity to label me a child and throw in some profanity. In response, I resorted to the one skill I had mastered - I stuck my tongue out at him before sauntering away. What an insufferable jerk. ***** Allow me to introduce Ava Hilton, a seemingly ordinary 23-year-old who could easily be mistaken for a typical teenager any day, any time. A young woman from humble beginnings, leading an unassuming life. Now, meet Dreidan Vaughn, aged 30, the nation's wealthiest billionaire and the formidable head of the Italian Mafia. Feared and revered by all, he bore the moniker of the continent's ultimate enforcer. What unfolds when, in the midst of a frantic pursuit of a $20 million contract, he almost knocks down Ava, a woman he hastily judged as a child? Instead of receiving an anticipated apology, she cheekily stuck her tongue out at him and walked away. Oh he was going to make her pay one way or another! That moment marked the inception of a love story unlike any other. A COMPULSORY READ!... 19/11/19 ~ Ranked 24th in romance out of a staggering 1.52 MILLION books 💃 28/11/19 ~ Soared to 10th place in the mafia genre out of 34.5k books. Don't miss out, add this gem to your library, folks!

The President's Heart❤️ by Glazabesties2911

Synopsis "Hey, I want you to write a couple of essays for my project. How much is your pay?" I blinked twice to be sure that the almighty rude Shanelle is right in front of me asking for my help. "Hmm, but you don't look like you want to get it done" I smirked as I look up to see her scan the cafe with her beautiful blue eyes, just like her brother's. "Bitch don't try to feel important, I'm only doing you a favour here so cut to the chase and state your price, we both know you need the money desperately" Shanelle replied. What she said got to me but I wouldn't let her see that, because I truly need the money to support my sick dad. I just smiled and say "what's it about?" "I'll text you my address, come over to my place tonight and we can talk it over in my room, no one is allowed to know that you're helping me" Shanelle said quite bossy. I scoffed and say "Do you find me that intimidating?" "You wish" she said and walked away. Does that mean I get to see Romans, I mind screamed. "You're not allowed to mess this up" Jasmine Bells, a nerdy high school girl that dines with clumsiness earning her the nickname "weirdo" as she does unusual things that annoys her schoolmates and makes her the school clown at the same time but surprisingly have a bestie that is quite the opposite and of course the only person willing to accommodate her unique personality. Romans Beaufort, the school golden boy that excels in all he does including his position as the student president and the captain of the basketball team who happens to be the crush of the "weirdo". A deal it was after Jasmine gets to work for Shanelle, his sister secretly that earned her suspension because she cheated on the project. Will Jasmine succeed in making Romans fall for her?? Would Shanelle let Jasmine be after knowing her secret?? Will Romans want to have anything to do with Jasmine?? Let's see how this unfolds as twists and turns are turned in this book.

We Were Meant to Be by anya_jayvyn

An age gap love story. A brokenhearted billionaire. A college girl. ***** "Nevaeh," Aiden whispers, "can I rest my head on your shoulder?" I nod, letting him rest his head on my shoulder. He closes his eyes. "Thank you." He sighs in contentment. "Heaven." "Heaven?" "It's your name spelled backward, isn't it?" ***** The moment I first saw Aiden Klein, the first thing that came up in my head was how perfect he was. A good hard working man who loves his family more than anything else, Aiden Klein has been the subject of the desire of many women. His wealth and success as one of the most influential leaders in the business world are nothing compared to his golden heart. The world keeps asking the same questions over and over again, "How would he love his woman?" The sad thing is, we will never know. Because his heart has been frozen. Eyes are blind for any woman. Touch is forbidden for their skin. Aiden Klein cannot love a woman. Yet, I know that it's far from the truth. Aiden Klein can love a woman so fiercely, his love would break you. Because I've seen it once, accidentally. He's the broken hero. And I'm the villain in this story. © Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.

To See Me as You Do by AwkwardlyPerfect_18

"What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?" Instantly, Sawyer frowns, an unimpressed expression on his face. I continue to smile at him, urging him to ask as I grab his shoulders and shake him, "C'mon, Sawyer, you gotta ask!! What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie??" He shakes his head, turning away from me as he presses his tongue to inside of his mouth. Flatly, he states, rubbing his face, "We're not doing this shit, Mari." "Yes we are!!!" I snort loudly as he scowls at me. Poking his shoulder, I ask, "You ready?!!" "No." "I'm gonna say it." "No, you're not-" "SoFISHticated." "You're a fucking idiot." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Lengthy Chapters!!* Marianne Parker and Sawyer Cortez are complete opposites of each other. Marianne believes in finding the good in everything around her. Always smiling, laughing, kind to everyone, and definitely an optimist. With a bubbly attitude and an outgoing personality, she's always looking to make a new friend, and all around a ray of sunshine. Sawyer, on the other hand, is blunt, rude, and pessimistic. He doesn't believe there could be good in everything. He doesn't smile, doesn't laugh, isn't interested in making new friends or socializing. Hell, he BARELY tolerates his own friends. The total definition of a raincloud. But, when Sawyer meets Marianne, it becomes all too clear that there's something about her he can't ignore. From the way she walks, talks, laughs, and smiles. It's all distracting to him, and he doesn't like that. In his efforts, he tries to ignore it and avoid her. But that can be hard when the girl in question, AKA Marianne, is EQUALLY interested in him too. Started August 2023 - ????
