A fun-loving young woman yearning for financial freedom and love becomes entangled in lies and scandal while working for a cynical billionaire.
***
Katerina Ramos, a recent grad drowning in student loan debt, interns at one of Las Vegas' prestigious marketing firms, while also moonlighting as a dancer to make ends meet.
Her life becomes more complicated when an annoying coworker blackmails her to pose as his girlfriend to advance his career. She readily agrees in fear of being exposed and fired from her internship. But things go from bad to worse when she discovers the handsome man she's been engaging in cat-and-mouse encounters with at the club is her reclusive boss.
Closed off, marketing genius William Cardona has learned the hard way how betrayal can come from unexpected people. He's come to enjoy his solitude until he meets a charming dancer that awakens him from his mundane life. Though she keeps her identity hidden, the attraction is instant and she helps him realize he's finally ready for more than surface-level connections.
When the scandal of espionage circulates at work, Katerina is assigned as William's assistant to help find the traitor. As they work closely together, he finds himself torn between the clever and impulsive intern who's already dating someone at his agency and the outgoing, mysterious dancer he feels a deep connection with.
Under the mounting pressure of financial obligations, Katerina finds herself way in over her head. Tangled in a web of lies she's created, and struggling to overcome career-ending extortion, she fights not to lose the only valuable asset she has left-her heart

Strength and Sensuality [Completed]
A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence. There's a careful craftsmanship in world-building, character development, and theme." Scripturam Awards "A truly unique story with a quite remarkable a plot! It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City AwardsCompleta
