On his doctor's recommendation, Alex signs up to an online dating site and creates a profile as Xander. His searches find nobody of interest, and he's about to dismiss it as a bad idea when Roxy posts a message to him.

Rosario is an investigator for the dating site, and the tone and content of Xander's profile cause her to red-flag him as a financial predator. She creates a wealthy widow profile as Roxy to initiate contact and honey-trap him.

Surprised by how well her interests fit with his, Alex responds. Their messages become longer and more complex, and after a few days, he invites her to dinner. Not long into their first date, he suspects he's being catfished, but hungry and intrigued by Roxy, he decides to play along with her and enjoy the evening.

She has just lost her prestigious chef position and kicked out her latest fling, who threatens revenge. With her meagre savings, all three possibilities seem remote at the moment. A holding company acquires a failing restaurant chain, strips its name, and assigns the 'hot potato' to Duncan, a business consultant, to determine whether to rescue or liquidate it. The pressure of success weighs on his shoulders when he decides to attempt a turnaround, knowing failure means loss of jobs. Gigi is among those he hires to replace staff who had abandoned the 'sinking ship'. Attracted initially by her resumé, he is captivated by her beauty and spirit. Mutual interests become increasingly personal the closer they work, and maintaining professional façades falters. Gigi sees him as another gorgeous hunk to seduce, and she flirts, but Duncan, convinced since his teens that he's asexual, is confused by his frequent and obvious arousal. His plan of tying the success of the restaurants to the bigger goal of winning Gigi's aromantic heart is endangered when her deranged, stalking ex posts explicit videos of her on the web, threatening to smear her reputation and ruin her career.

The Tomboy and the Player | ✔ by pix3lwhore

Alex has had his eyes set on Stacey ever since they were in middle school. She did too. With neither of them knowing how to express their feelings to one another everything gets complicated. And when they finally began to become close..everything was ripped apart. * It had already started to rain and I just wanted to go home, not even home. I wanted to just get away from everything. I was drunk, I didn't know where Leslie was, and I knew she would kill me after all of this. I glared at Alex who was just standing there looking at me. I turned around and opened the door but he stopped me. Closing the door quickly, he slams me against it. I snarl at him, "What the fuck is your problem?!" I yell. "My problem is you and that little fucking boyfriend of yours" I roll my eyes and look away from him, "If you have a problem, just leave. You had no problem doing it before" I swear I heard a low growl before he grabbed my jaw. Turning my face so my eyes connected with his dark ones. "One thing you won't do is roll your eyes at me" When did he become so dominant? I glare at him, "I'm not with you, I can do what I want Alex" He raises an eyebrow at me, "Is that so?" In one quick movement I'm trapped between his arms. I feel his lips skim along my throat and I hold back a small moan. "You know..I really thought, for so long, it was best to stay away from you." I gulp as his hands ran down my sides and gripped both of my thighs, lifting it to the sides of his waist. He harshly bites my neck and a whimper escapes me. "Guess I was wrong" A moan escaped me when his mouth landed onto my mine. • A majority of the chapters are cringe af :/ so read at your own risk READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
