Live, Laugh, Love [COMPLETE/PUBLISHED] by MikaelaKoehler

When I thought that I had stopped living, you made me laugh. When I thought I had stopped living, you taught me how to love. You taught me how to live. How to laugh. How to Love. // Most people have phobias or at least have a fear of something. Whether it is spiders, snakes, heights, or enclosed places, no one expected anyone to be afraid of what she is afraid of.

The last place that she thought she would end up was in a therapist's office, but that isn't what saves her. One person changes everything that she has ever believed. Will she learn how to live again? Will she learn how to love? Or will her fears get the best of her?

Beneath the Surface by MiaVillous

Drewcyla Villous, a brilliant engineer with a passion for strategy, navigates the complexities of power, loyalty, and hidden emotions in a high-stakes environment. Recently injured in a work-related accident, her anger isn't for herself but for her intern, Angel, whose life will bear the scar of a careless prank gone wrong. Drewcyla's stoic, calculated demeanor hides a storm of feelings, and her interactions with her colleagues reflect her inner turmoil. When Drewcyla disrupts a chess game between Julian Laurent and Annabel in the park, her sharp intellect shines through. She offers a lesson in sacrifice, a metaphor for something larger than just a game, as she moves Julian's pieces toward an unexpected victory. Despite the tension, there's a hint of something more personal behind her words, a war she's preparing to fight. Soon, Drewcyla receives a text confirming that her job is in jeopardy, but she walks away unfazed, her mind set on her own path. Things take a turn when a viral video shows Drewcyla's revenge on a colleague, covering him in glitter after he sabotaged Angel. The incident causes a stir, and Julian and Annabel are left to handle the fallout. Despite the chaos, Drewcyla's value to the company is undeniable, having saved a major project from failure. Julian faces a difficult decision: fire Drewcyla and risk losing her invaluable work or protect her and risk the company's reputation. As tensions rise, Beneath the Surface explores Drewcyla's struggle between control and vulnerability, loyalty and self-preservation. With each character wrestling with their own demons, the story examines the true cost of success, sacrifice, and the consequences of pushing people to their limits.

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all.

The New Classic by bibliomxniac

𝐀𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐲𝐚 I'd sworn off of love and men after the fiasco that was my last relationship. Until I spent one steamy and passionate night with a dark haired stranger. A man that I thought I'd never see again. Until I found out that he was my new boss. I absolutely could not get involved with Neil - I'd had enough drama to last me a lifetime. But it wasn't long before the lines drawn between us became blurred. I just hoped that this time, my heart would make it out in one piece. 𝐍𝐞𝐢𝐥 Taking over my father's company as CEO all of a sudden was the last thing I ever wanted. That is, until I saw her. The woman I'd spent one night with. The very woman I hadn't stopped thinking about since. And she just so happened to be my employee. Which meant that she was off limits. I was supposed to stay away. But I couldn't help myself from falling for her. Now, the only challenge was convincing Aaliya whether whatever this was between us was worth pursuing or not.

Let's pretend (book 1) by Demona44

"You're beautiful Elise" "Zach, please..." I smiled when she called me Zach. It was always Zachary or Mr. Walton and when she called me Zach I... "Zach?" she sat up on the bed raising an eyebrow "If you don't want..." I cut her off by kissing her gently while tugging on her shorts until I removed them without breaking the kiss. "I want this, more than you can imagine, I just want you to be sure you want it too" Without saying anything she started undoing my shirt's buttons, until she lost all her patience and ripped it off. I chuckled "Eager much?" "Don't you think it's about time? We've been playing cat and mouse enough" "Elise just shut up and kiss me, kiss me like it's the first time yet not the last, kiss me like it's something you've been wanting to do for so long and you finally can, kiss me..."

Pretending to be his girlfriend for as long as it takes to have his mother off his back? Little did he know this decision was going to flip his world upside down. Let's pretend...

"That means you're coming with me too then." He groans, bringing a hand up to his forehead and rubbing it in exasperation. "Excuse me?" My chest puffs up indignantly.
