ON HOLD. DON'T KNOW WHEN UPDATES WILL BE HAPPENING.

Harper Beaumont has everything a girl could want: money, power, influence, and she knows how to party. But she's in an eternal power struggle with her brother, Bentley, over their family fortune. He controls almost every aspect of her life, but Harper continues to fight back. She wants to prove that she can run an empire while her brother wants to marry her off to the next available suitor before she can squander what he sees as rightfully his.

Max Burnett knows how to play the long game. An expert conman, he's used to putting on an act and getting out before everything crashes around him- with money, of course. But when he poses as Max Prince, the owner of Prince Diamonds, he meets Harper Beaumont. She embodies everything he hates: she's spoiled, rude, and gets right under his skin- and worst of all, she hates him too. But he has to pretend to be her husband until he can get what he wants: Her money.

Soon, Max realizes he's in too deep with her, and that he and Harper have a common enemy.

66 parts Complete Mature
How very noble of you, Mr. Lockhart. I don't need your help. I can do just fine." I retorted. "I'm a lot of things, Victoria." Tyler said leaning against the banister. "But noble is not one of them." "After today, I'm not even going to argue with that fact. They should have named you Lucifer." He smiled, not kindly. "Think of it as a warning from the devil himself. I will not warn you a second time. Throw yourself at me, Vicky, and I'll take what I want." *** Victoria Lane and Tyler Lockhart have been best friends since they were kids, and the two have been through thick and thin together. Tyler is fun, charismatic and makes Victoria weak in the knees. What Tyler doesn't know is that Vicky has been in love with him for a long time. Tyler Lockhart has been hiding some skeletons in his closet, he is a billionaire and comes from an influential family; the Lockharts' have been cursed with a life long of bad omen and while Tyler's mother has tried hard to keep him from showing his true nature to society, sometimes, all it takes is one small mistake. When Vicky finds out the truth, things turn from bad to worse and Tyler is forced to leave town. Vicky's life comes crashing down when Tyler steps foot in town almost ten years later, and he's come back with a motive; to stay and to win Vicky back. *** Cover made using Canva WARNING: Story contains profanity, sexual tensions and abuse.

30 parts Complete Mature
Billionaire crime boss Max is everything idealist young attorney Hadley should run from-a man as powerful and dangerous as he is wealthy, and someone who always takes what he wants. Loving him could destroy her. But she can't stop. Season 1 of Sex and the Billionaire Crime Boss *** When Hadley Reese Jones' estranged grandfather offers her a top position at his elite Miami law firm, she says goodbye to low pay and long hours in Philadelphia for a chance to unearth family secrets and inject excitement into her life. But she doesn't expect a hot encounter with a mysterious stranger on the plane to Miami to turn her plans upside down. Billionaire entrepreneur Maxwell Bennett is the privileged, devilishly handsome heir to a Miami crime dynasty. He's used to getting what he wants. And he wants Hadley. Soon, Hadley finds herself swept up in a world of nightclubs, private jets, and luxury beyond her wildest dreams. But when she discovers Max is more crime boss than businessman, and walking away from his father's criminal enterprise isn't an option, she's faced with an impossible decision. Should she put aside her strong sense of law and follow her heart, even if it could mean losing everything? Or should she walk away from Max and their sizzling chemistry - if it isn't already too late? *** "You don't want me as a client?" Max lowers his voice. "Worried about a conflict of interest once I get you in my bed?" A hot stab of arousal shoots through me, and I know I'm blushing. "You're presuming a lot from one kiss," I tell him, pulse racing. "Am I? I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other again soon. On a professional and personal level." When my gaze locks on Max's incredibly blue eyes, I feel disoriented. I'm worried I should stay as far away as possible from Maxwell Bennett. And even more worried I won't.

What's the worst that can happen when you're forced to co-captain with your rival? Nova Shields can't stand Leo Hendrix. She hates his arrogance and obnoxiousness, that crooked smirk he does when he thinks he's right. Leo can't stand Nova's wits, the way she folds her arms and quirks her eyebrows. The way he can never read what's happening behind those green eyes. After a combined black operation was almost sent awry in '99 as a result of their constant disagreements, the pair vowed to never work alongside each other again. That is until Leo's partner suddenly loses his life in '02, leaving Commander North no choice but to bring in the only officer capable of filling the void: Nova. Their partnership ignites with animosity, a consequence of the lingering grudge. They can't seem to find that comradeship the Commander longed for. That is until they discover how once they work together without disagreeing, arguing and trying to wring each others necks, they can in fact form an unstoppable duo. A duo that transcends the operations they face; that forces them to confront the feelings they've been denying for so long. Feelings that only surface through the betrayals, bloodshed and near death experiences. Feelings that may be accepted, but only when it's too late.
