Elizabeth Astor, a successful 28-year-old president of Astor Inc., finds her life entangled with Benjamin Baldwin, the 30-year-old president of Baldwin Enterprises. Both their parents want to merge their companies, and in an effort to bring them closer, they push Elizabeth and Ben into a relationship, hoping for a marriage.
Initially, Elizabeth and Ben clash due to their personalities - Elizabeth's mistrust of men stems from a painful past of betrayal, while Ben's arrogance and history as a ladies' man doesn't sit well with her. As their relationship faces constant challenges from Ben's ex-girlfriend, Elizabeth's cousin, and another ruthless CEO named Stephen Pierre, they struggle to find common ground.
Amid the turmoil, fate intervenes when a plane crash leaves Elizabeth, Ben, their best friends Jennifer and Andrew, Elizabeth's cheating ex Henry, and her cousin Amanda stranded on a deserted island. Will they overcome their differences and find love amidst chaos?

Rich People Problems
As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.

The Vintage kind
He's her best friend's father. She's half his age. But some stories aren't meant to age quietly. Leo is a 50-year-old vineyard millionaire-divorced, emotionally reserved, and untouched by love since his ex-wife Miriam walked away a decade ago. Until Nadia shows up-23, fiery, fragile, and Grace's best friend. When Nadia gets stood up by her toxic boyfriend Tendai, she runs straight to Grace's house-and unknowingly into the Mhandu family's quiet, golden chaos. Grace, ever the schemer, knows her father is lonely. And she knows her best friend deserves better. So she pulls the strings in the background and sets up the most unexpected slow-burn romance of the year. What begins as a fake sugar baby act to escape a blind date turns into late-night vineyard walks, viral photos in vintage red dresses, soft confessions, and a kiss that changes everything. But Leo is terrified-of the age gap, of judgment, of loving someone so wildly unexpected. And Nadia? She's scared too. Of leaving behind a broken past. Of trusting someone who could actually treat her right. Of falling for the one man she's not supposed to want. One daughter. One red dress. One scandalous love story. Because sometimes the most controversial things... are also the most real. The Vintage Kind is a slow-burn, age-gap romance full of heart, secrets, and a love so unexpected, it tastes like something aged to perfection.Complete
