Beneath His Ice by annalie-rose

She's the sunshine he can't escape. He's the storm she never saw coming. Ivy Carter never expected her dream job to come with a nightmare of a boss. Adrian Calloway is cold, ruthless, and entirely too attractive for his own good. He runs the company with an iron grip-and no patience for the bright, stubborn woman who just landed in his office. But Ivy doesn't back down. Not from his glares, not from his impossible demands, and definitely not from the undeniable tension crackling between them. Adrian knows he should stay away. She's his employee. She's off-limits. And yet... she's the only one who's ever looked at him like he's more than just a heartless businessman. The lines between them are blurring. The war between them is heating up. And one of them is about to surrender. But when hearts and careers are on the line, will giving in cost them everything?

Krish Malhotra, the formidable CEO of Malhotra Industries, once lived with an easy smile and a heart full of warmth. But the ghosts of his past turned him into a man of ice-stoic, distant, and unwilling to love. He adores his family and protects them fiercely, but marriage? That was never in his plans. Until he realizes that his grandfather still carries the weight of old regrets, desperately hoping to see Krish move on. Reluctantly, he agrees to marry-for his family's sake, not his own.

Against All Logic by Viisator

A contract. A betrothal. A battle of wills. Elias Laurent has spent his entire life planning for success. As a natural leader and a perfectionist, he refuses to let anything-or anyone-disrupt his carefully structured future. So when his parents drop the bombshell that he has been secretly betrothed since childhood, he does what any logical person would do: he drafts a contract. Lirienne Kaestner, on the other hand, couldn't care less. As long as no one forces her into anything, she's happy to go with the flow. If Elias wants to play executive fiancé, fine. If their parents expect them to act like a couple, whatever. If Elias thinks he can manage her, though? He has another thing coming. Because let's be real, none of this should've worked, and yet... here we are. --- I don't think this is a novel; but it has a story...so... A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romcom filled with power struggles, reluctant affection, and a very smug cat.

Cold and Charisma (BoyxBoy) by asphericity

Riley Lachkov's life has only ever consisted of one thing - soccer. Raised in a family where emotions don't exist, Riley has put on a cold-front for as long as he could remember. Many people think that they know him - a cocky, arrogant, rude jerk who couldn't give less of a shit about what others think, but deep down, there's a part of him that no one has ever seen. A part of him that he never wants anyone to see. Archer Wilson has got everything going for him. From being at the top of all of his classes, to also being the most popular boy in school, his life is perfect. Everyone who knows Archer can confirm that he is anything but mean - with his charismatic personality, and his ability to make anyone swoon for him, he's the golden boy at Saint Arthur's Preparatory School. When Riley's family immigrated from Russia to the States, he struggles to fit in, finding it difficult to start his entire life over when the only thing he's ever known was his life back in his home country. His closed off personality and his tendency to act like a total douchebag didn't help either - in fact, it just made people want to stay away from him even more. But that doesn't stop Archer from trying. In fact, it makes him more intrigued in this new, feisty transfer student, more keen to break down all the walls that Riley has worked so hard to keep up for his entire life. Archer can't help but praise him for every little thing he does- in his eyes, Riley was an angel. He knew he was whipped the moment he saw him. What happens when Archer, the top student at Saint Arthur's, suddenly begins to develop an interest in the new transfer student, whose personality is as cold as ice? Will Riley finally begin to let him in, or will he continue to push him out, like he's done throughout his entire life? tropes: #grumpyxsunshine, #polaropposites, #slowburn, #temporaryunrequitedlove #popularnerdxlonelyathlete All Rights Reserved to Asphericity

With only one building left to buy out at urban sprawl's centre, Roman will stop at nothing to get the final piece: a family-owned pub, the Crystal Cavalry. After one night off the wagon lands Ally in billionaire Roman's bed, Ally recognises her sweet lover Roman as the same capitalist scumbag out to steal her bar.
