When a senior executive tears down Mike's seemingly perfect sales proposal, Mike is forced to relive his humiliation over and over again in a time loop.

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt) by fanoshkaflippo

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.

Obsession Under The Moonlight by TinyWarrior678

Oat just wanted a fun night out, a few drinks, and maybe a one-night stand to forget his exhausting week. What he didn't expect was to wake up next to a ridiculously hot stranger... and definitely not to discover the next morning that said stranger is his new, terrifyingly powerful boss-Mr. Ngern, the cold, composed CEO of the company he just started working at. Cue the awkward office encounters, endless blushing, and failed attempts to pretend nothing happened. But what Oat doesn't know is that Ngern knew exactly who he was that night-and he's been obsessed with him for far longer than anyone realizes. Behind the cold CEO facade is a man who's possessive, sweetly unhinged, and deeply in love. What begins as a messy one-night-stand-turned-workplace-horror soon turns into an office romance full of tension, laughter, shippers, chaotic coworkers, and steamy stolen moments in the copy room. But when a fake breakup, hidden vulnerability, and near tragedy shake them both, Oat is forced to confront his feelings-and maybe admit that the boss he swore to avoid is actually the man he can't live without.

Hardwired For Him✓ by _marygl0riaa

Confidence is a hell of a drug, and for Skylar Evans, the high is magnificent-but the comedown is a total fucking bitch. It starts with the catastrophic snap of a heel and ends with a face-plant into the expensive, custom-tailored chest of a man who looks like he owns the sunrise-and probably the bank you keep your meager savings in. Fresh out of the Ivy League, armed with elite coding skills and a caffeine addiction she refuses to apologize for, Skylar wants one thing only. Control. Over her career. Her future. Her heart. Then she meets Carlos D'Artagnan. He is the devil in a bespoke suit. A predator who breathes strategy and exhales liquid heat, wearing a smile that promises heaven while his silver gaze drags you straight to hell. He is elegance sharpened into a weapon, a towering monolith of power built on a foundation of secrets and scars. The moment his eyes lock onto hers, the air in the room doesn't just thin-it catches fire. In that one, soul-stripping look, Skylar realizes the encryption on her heart has been bypassed; her carefully guarded life is about to be dismantled, piece by agonizing piece. One reckless encounter drags her into his orbit of corporate warfare and whispered betrayals. Carlos thought he had buried the monster he used to be, but the past is a debt that always collects. Now, it's rising to reclaim him, and Skylar is the only collateral he's not willing to lose.

His Fake fiancé by letsomebodygo15

Needs to be heavily edited lmao (first wrote when I was like 15) Now, I'm alone with the beast . He stares into my soul causing me to gulp. "You're going to do something for me." He rounds his desk, coming to a stop in front of me. His body towering over my seated self. I look forward facing his crotch, the bulge in his pants making itself known. I make eye contact with him, an evil smirk, he says one word, "suck." .... Grayson Black is the definition of playboy. Unfortunately when owning a large and successful company, image matters especially when your only 27, so he decided to 'commit' himself to a relationship to prove that he's changed his ways. Except the woman he 'commits' himself to is his assistant. When feelings begin to grow on one end and there's a secret surprise on the way, what happens? #15 in romance #1 in employee #2 CEO #1 baby #1 fake love #1 in love life

Unbreak Me- Editing by ejane1

An impressive Yale degree. Great friends. An even greater boyfriend and a bright future- she thought she had it all. She thought her life was perfect. She should have thought twice. Hundreds of lies and a single confrontation changed everything she thought she knew. It crushed her both physically and emotionally and shattered her trust of herself, men and love. Broken, scarred and still hurting, all Ari wants to do is get away and take some time to put herself back together again. With the help of her roommate and her new friends, maybe Ari can accomplish stitching her heart up with friendship and polishing it with laughter. And maybe, just maybe, with time she can let go of the past, heal her broken heart and unbreak her trust just enough to risk it once more. Editing- Also Unbreak Me will only be available as a full novel for another two weeks after that it will only be a sample of the first three chapters, but will be available to purchase as an eBook and print on demand. Thanks for understanding. [***The story you are about to read is intended for mature readers due to its sexual content and language. It may not be appropriate for all audiences. Please read at your own discretion.***]
