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

Sofie breaks free from Philip's world of pretense, temptation and denial when a murder rattles his golden cage.

If only it was an Illusion! by Aafrynn

"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living.
