Look at You
Simon Love is maybe a bit of a dick. He's smart, but he's lazy, and he doesn't know how to live without his mom's meatloaf and at least 4 different investment accounts. After graduating from college, he can't bring himself to leave the comfort of his hometown, so when the newest tech giant, TechNet, plants its HQ roots in his very own Baker, Ohio, Simon knows this must be fate. And when TechNet brings in a local architect to draw up plans to spruce up the building, Simon can't help but notice his construction crew. More specifically, the tall twenty-something wearing a canvas tool belt, a beat-up Sox hat, and a small, heart-stopping smile that has the entire office talking. And it seems like Simon is the only one who doesn't know why.Complete
Hardwired For Him✓
Confidence is a hell of a drug, and for Skylar Evans, the high is magnificent-but the comedown is a total fucking bitch. It starts with the catastrophic snap of a heel and ends with a face-plant into the expensive, custom-tailored chest of a man who looks like he owns the sunrise-and probably the bank you keep your meager savings in. Fresh out of the Ivy League, armed with elite coding skills and a caffeine addiction she refuses to apologize for, Skylar wants one thing only. Control. Over her career. Her future. Her heart. Then she meets Carlos D'Artagnan. He is the devil in a bespoke suit. A predator who breathes strategy and exhales liquid heat, wearing a smile that promises heaven while his silver gaze drags you straight to hell. He is elegance sharpened into a weapon, a towering monolith of power built on a foundation of secrets and scars. The moment his eyes lock onto hers, the air in the room doesn't just thin-it catches fire. In that one, soul-stripping look, Skylar realizes the encryption on her heart has been bypassed; her carefully guarded life is about to be dismantled, piece by agonizing piece. One reckless encounter drags her into his orbit of corporate warfare and whispered betrayals. Carlos thought he had buried the monster he used to be, but the past is a debt that always collects. Now, it's rising to reclaim him, and Skylar is the only collateral he's not willing to lose.Complete

By Chance (Accidentally In Luck #1)
CURRENTLY REWRITING AND EDITING - minor plot holes/inconsistencies are to be expected Book 1 in the Accidentally In Luck trilogy. ***** "It's just not fair," I said. "What's not?" "Your car." "What about it?" He raised an eyebrow. "It's brighter than my future." ***** Cora Roberts is pretty normal. She's started college, she listens to music, she's figuring life out, she has a best friend obsessed with a musician, but her past isn't as full of sunshine as she pretends. So what happens when several chance encounters with someone she was never supposed to meet (let alone blackmail), changes her outlook on life? And what can she do when a once literal ghost from her past resurfaces right in front of her, but with no intention of revealing himself to her. Theo Archer is that guy. The one every guy wants to be, and every girl wants. He can sing, he plays the piano, he's rich, he's famous, he's hot. How was he supposed to know that the contest that he never even agreed to could be one of the best things that's ever happened to him? And then what of him and his best friend who have kept their shared secret safe for years, yet can't keep it for even one night from the two girls who've entered their lives? This is a story of an unlikely couple. A story with a few chance meetings, a few fights, a few too many almost kisses, and one not-so-gone boy that throw Cora and Theo together in ways that no one (including themselves) expected. Cheesy and cliche beyond measure. Read at your own risk. Ok, that is all. :) Warning: This story does contain strong language, mild violence, mild sexuality, and adult themes. This story is rated mature for a reason. (It's not terrible, but it's there.) Highest Rankings: #1 in Boxing (Oct '17) #4 in Underground Fighting (Feb '19) #2 in Famous Singer (Mar '20)

Coffee, Tea, or Me?
Let's get one point clear. Jeanette Walters is a glutton - she stuffs her mouth with food whenever she gets the chance.

In essence, she is the definition of a modern day beauty. Despite her happy-go-lucky personality, she finds herself growing increasingly stressed up due to her new temperamental boss. It doesn't help that the nearest fast food joint is located twenty blocks away, forcing her to dine in the local salad bar daily, much to her dismay. When a café serving different types of coffee and mouthwatering homemade snacks opens right next to her office building, it turns out to play a bigger part in her life than merely a place she goes to during lunch breaks. Eventually, she learns that love is much sweeter than the caramel chocolate bars she keeps hidden in her drawer, away from the judgmental eyes of colleagues. Now, grab a cup of coffee as you delve into this warm romance. ♥ Cover done by: Silvie_Marie ♥Complete
