"I shouldn't be doing this." 
"I didn't ask what you should be doing, I asked if you wanted me to stop."

In the busy, overcrowded streets of London, Eliza O'Connor lives a double life. By day, she makes ends meet as a bartender, trying and mostly failing to keep on top of ever increasing bills and looming debt. By night, she takes to the stage, hustling men as an exotic dancer, doing everything she can to conceal this part of her life from her conservative sister. 

Marko Cruz, a relentless lawyer, finds solace only in his work, his hectic schedule leaving him little time for leisure or love. When fate intervenes through his best friend's wedding plans, their worlds collide unexpectedly. Drawn together by an irresistible spark, Eliza and Marko dance around an undeniable connection that defies the boundaries of their separate lives.

As they grow closer, Eliza grapples with the looming expectations of her sister, the ever increasing hostility of the world around her to sex work, and her fraught relationship with her current boyfriend. How, in all of this, can she reveal the details of her life to someone whose world is so different from hers? Will their growing affection withstand the weight of the secrets she keeps?All Rights Reserved

Paint Splattered Chaos and Passion by HerPagesHerFire

What do you do when paint splattered chaos breaks down the walls of passion? Amelia is an ambitious but uptight defence attorney who works downtown. She's got a sharp jaw, and an even sharper tongue but she knows when she puts her foot in it. Amelia puts her work first, she doesn't do casual, and she certainly doesn't do messy feelings. She is precision and control, polished to perfection, with cracks she refuses to show, standing tall in her blazer and heels. Amelia hasn't been touched in a way that's made her tremble for years. Riley is a carefree artist, living in the loft above her studio that smells like citrus and wine on the opposite end of town. She's free spirited, symbolic and a little bit sensual and not only with her art. She is chaos, passion and temptation all wrapped up in a silk gown or denim overalls, and there's no in between. Riley dreams of all consuming romance, like the true artist she is. Amelia's law firm is sponsoring a local art show where she somehow gets roped into "supporting the local creatives". When Amelia lays eyes on Riley as she's standing in front of her art piece, describing her work there is a spark of instant electricity. Banter turns into sexual tension that neither of them can deny. The question lies, is the passion enough to dull the chaos and can the chaos become the calm?

Her Shadows by _MadamRose_

~ A World Painted Grey: Book 1 ~ Already incapacitated, I drag his limp body toward the smoking car. Fastening him back into his seat, seatbelt back in place. Then I grip his skull with my glove-clad hands and ram his head into the steering wheel. Over and over and over again. Eventually the breathing stops, and his weakened pulse slows to a halt. Dead in my hands I throw his head against the wheel once more. Reaching past his limp body, I grab the manila folder. For a moment I watch his corpse. Supposing I should feel even a twinge of guilt. But I never do. Not anymore. Instead, with no feeling in my cold heart, I turn my back to him and walk away. The car bursting into flames behind me. ~~~ Raised a trained killer, Amelia finds herself sneaking through the shadows, thriving in the darkness, living in a world of grey. Having spent her life conditioned to kill and torture, she had never considered the possibility of escape. Never thought a life existed beyond the sight of blood. Until an innocent boy, who's world was held in ink and paper begins to scatter the darkness and find the broken girl beneath. But with a traumatic past and an equally daunting road ahead, can Amelia escape the shadows that haunt her? HIGHEST RANKINGS #1 dualpov

Little Miss Hellfire by JTAtlas

Revenge at your service... Angelica Knowles runs Best Served Cold Inc., a sleek, off-the-grid revenge agency for women who've been wronged. Known in feminist circles as Little Miss Hellfire, she's a legend in lipstick--strategist, saboteur, and sarcastic saint. So when freshly fired Claudia Pilgrim-an ex-employee of Slate Capital-shows up with a story of workplace discrimination and a sexist dress code, Angelica sets her sights on the obvious villain: Damian Slate-the infuriatingly gorgeous, devilishly narcissistic CEO with a God complex. Her mission? Infiltrate his company as his new assistant. Unravel his weakness. Destroy him. Simple-until Damian unexpectedly recruits her to pose as his fiancée at his sister's high-profile wedding in Lake Como, hoping to win his father's approval and cement his place as heir. Because nothing says heir apparent like arriving with a woman who looks like she eats billionaires for brunch. Now Angelica's knee-deep in luxury lies, legacy power plays, and dangerously public hand-holding. And the worst part? Damian might not be the heartless villain she expected-he might actually be a person-with depth, feelings, and dimples. What began as sabotage is starting to look suspiciously like chemistry. And with her client's dignity, her agency's future, and her own carefully guarded heart on the line, Angelica must choose: take him down... or risk falling for the man she swore to ruin.
