It was an impossible choice between a man chosen for her or a handsome stranger's solution - a temporary contractual marriage. Her choice left her facing devastating results, but will a second chance deliver her the man and the life of her dreams or crush her spirits for good?
Jameson Wilder Hunter was handsome, powerful, elite, and utterly exhausted with life. He had everything he could want and yet it still wasn't enough. Until he met Lacey, whose sincerity beckoned him like a light through the darkness. Only she disappeared and took his heart with her. He wants her back, he wants to punish her. But will he still feel that way once he has her secured by his side again, or will she draw him back in just like she had the first time he laid eyes on her?
Kia Ora,
I plan to post the full story by the New Year (2024) and keep it available until March 2024 at which time I'll leave a sample and make available on Amazon. I'll update here if plans change.
Thanks

The Risky Pact!
You have all read this before: a rich, cold boss meets a young, hopeful employee....Contract marriage.... Slow burn.... You know the drill. This is not that story. This is my take on an overused genre but stripped of the glamour and clichés, and rebuilt from the ground up with raw, human feeling.Forget the flawless billionaire and the damsel in distress. Meet two erred humans: a man so hollowed by his own success that he is bargaining for his family's return and reclaiming his ancestral property and a woman whose ambition is both her greatest strength and her most vulnerable wound... ...He was supposed to be using her to rebuild his past and reclaim his fortune. She was supposed to be using him to build her dreams . But does life work like that? Can human being really plan their fate? In the fragile ecosystem they built in the basis of transactions,a dangerous feeling forced them to question whether the prize they had been fighting for was the one they truly needed? Their contract was clear from the beginning but their hearts had no clues that it was A Risky pact.

Twisted Love
[Started Writing : 3rd August, 2023] "For fuck sake, leave me alone." I screamed out as tears commenced gathering in my eyes. He said nothing. He just sat there watching me lose my temper.

Anastasia wants nothing but to get out of the hell hole called 'her life'. They say study hard and then you can earn money and have a good life. But despite having a degree in hands she was still jobless. When life was giving her bitter test then when a devil showed up at the door of her heart, dressed like an angel. The devil wants nothing but a favour from her while promising her everything she wants. Morally grey. That's the definition to construe Alex Vesper. Strict, rude, emotionless, focused and evil. He wants nothing but revenge from a certain someone who might have scratched his ego a little bit. And at that time Anastasia was the best option for him.
