Love On The Line
Shiraishi Sara lives by one motto: honesty is the best policy-though her ex might argue that's what got her dumped. Turns out, blurting out that she'd rather date a rich guy for fancy dinners than an emotionally unavailable man wasn't the winning strategy. Heartbroken and furious, she dials up her lawyer friend Yuri to rant-only to find herself talking to someone else entirely. Enter Fujin Isamu, an aloof IT CEO with the charisma of a high-tech vending machine and the voice of a smooth jazz record. Isamu, who's pretending to be a humble landlord named "Daichi," listens in amused silence as Sara's unfiltered rants range from her love for luxury to her dramatic breakups. Despite his stoic exterior, her boldness stirs something he hasn't felt in years: laughter. But Isamu's family has other plans. Convinced their son is more likely to marry kabuki than a woman, they push him into an engagement with a high-society lady. He declines. His tells them about Sara being his girlfriend! So, what does a stoic CEO do next? He calls Sara, the woman who would probably marry a frog if it came with a platinum credit card, to pose as his girlfriend. Cue fake dates, meddling relatives, and one hilariously awkward hot spring trip. As they fake their way through Isamu's family's expectations, Sara and Isamu realize that love, like sushi, is best served fresh and unexpected-especially when it's wrapped in a whole lot of complications. But when Sara discovers that Daichi's humble landlord persona hides an empire of wealth, she's forced to question everything, including her love of fine dining. After all, as the Japanese saying goes, "Even monkeys fall from trees," and sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it-or when you accidentally call the wrong number. Get ready for a rollercoaster of laughs, luxury, and love that might just make you believe in fate...or at least in the wrong number.![Penalty Kill [NY Hockey #1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/354252416-256-k365858.jpg)

I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed.

JAKE'S BAILEY
..Bailey Thorne doesn't hate Jake the Rake, just despises him. She blames the rumor mill at her school...and, okay, him. His adorable son has only been in preschool, but Jake has already made an impressive dent in dating the unmarried faculty. She's had to hear of his every exploit from the broken hearts he's left behind. She was fine to loathe him from afar, but now his son has entered kindergarten-and she's the teacher. It's going to be a very long school year. Jake Polaski was more than fine to avoid Ms. Thorne after it became clear she was not amused by his very existence. But then they get stuck in an elevator for an evening. He finds out that underneath that baleful glare she always gives him, lies a warm, funny and sexy as hell woman. He does his best to not be smitten after every exchange afterward. His son needs him rational, steadfast...and love is the most uncertain thing. It was the elevator's fault. Had it worked like it should, Bailey would have gone on with her life without seeing why so many of her co-workers had fallen for the grumpy single dad. (It's his dry wit, his playful teasing and the drool-worthy cut of his jawline.) And now she's caught in the way he doles out smiles and the dark depths of his secrets. If nothing else, she knows from rumor there's a clock ticking on their affair before it implodes, because things always do with Jake the Rake, but she can't seem to walk away first.Complete
