Mia has spent six years building a successful career at Greystone Industries, thriving under the laid-back leadership of her former CEO. But when the company suddenly appoints Jason Whitmore as the new CEO, her world is turned upside down. 

Jason is everything Mia despises-cold, demanding, and ruthlessly driven to make sweeping changes. As they clash over their differing visions for the company, sparks fly in ways neither of them anticipated. 

What begins as a professional rivalry slowly transforms into something more complicated as they discover that beneath their mutual antagonism lies a simmering attraction. In this slow-burn, hate-to-love romance, Mia and Jason must navigate the tension between their personal and professional lives, learning that sometimes the person you least expect can become the one you need the most.All Rights Reserved

The Day You Were Mine by penelopemelendes17gm

Mia I fell hard and fast, just like any teenager does at that age. The second I saw him, I knew my life wouldn't be the same. Everyone told me not to do it, to give up this teenage fantasy, but how could I? Every bone in my body belonged to him before he even put a finger on me. It had been fourteen years since the last time I'd seen him, and I was still his. But the Liam in front of me was different. He'd changed; I'd changed. After all the hurt, can I really just put everything aside to start again? Liam I knew she was mine; her eyes gave her away. Seeing Mia again after fourteen years was like coming back to life, and no matter how much she wanted to stay away from me, I wasn't going to stay away from her. Letting her go was the hardest decision I have ever made, and I'm never doing that again. Yes, I'm no longer the suppressed boy she met long ago. I'm much more important now. A lot has happened in the past few years, so when an opportunity to become the powerful man I am today presented itself, I didn't think twice to take it. This life will now be Mia's, too. I only hope she can still love me as the mafia boss I have become.

Her secret by pinkwrites

SEQUEL TO HIS SECRET (can be read as a standalone but highly recommended to read his secret first) It's been four years since Amira walked away from Brooks Whitmore-and the life that nearly swallowed her whole. Now twenty-eight, she's graduated from cosmetology school, raising her daughter, Alina, and building a future of her own. Stronger, sharper, and unwilling to be anyone's secret again, Amira swears her past is behind her. But when a man she's casually seeing drags her to a political event, Amira finds herself face-to-face with Brooks for the first time in years. Only now, he's married. Only now, he's on the verge of the Vice Presidency. And only now, the truth about Alina threatens to surface. Brooks has everything he was raised to want-power, status, Margot on his arm. But behind closed doors he's colder and haunted by the woman he let slip away. What happens when their worlds collide again? When secrets can't stay buried? This time, Amira isn't the girl he left behind. She's a woman with something to lose.

The Deadline | 18+ Version | English by Jessa_Solberg

One office. Tree Days to get the job done. And to make it even worse - I have to work with my biggest enemy. Mia is a team lead at a software development startup. She doesn't just love her job - she also adores all of her coworkers. And even more importantly, everyone loves her back. Everyone except Noah. He's another team lead at the company, and he seems completely immune to her friendliness. Mia has no idea why, but no matter how hard she tries, befriending him has been utterly impossible. Normally, that's not much of an issue. They only cross paths occasionally. And when they do, it's as if they've made an unspoken agreement: keep as much distance as humanly possible. But then a mistake forces them to spend the next 72 hours working together. In the same office. A nightmare for both of them ... or maybe something else?

But the groom's gone silent, and the bride's older brother-the annoyingly cold, maddeningly gorgeous CEO-wants it all buried. She's not letting it go. He's not letting her in.

Some love stories aren't planned-they crash into you when you least expect it.

The Heart He Shattered by demejoy

Eight years ago, Liam Alcaraz walked out of Mia Villaruiz's life without a backward glance-leaving her with nothing but a shattered heart, unanswered questions, and the memory of the boy who once made her believe in forever. Now, Liam is one of the youngest, most powerful, and most desired CEOs in the country. And Mia? She's no longer the quiet, outcast girl he once dismissed. She's the bar exam's number one passer, a corporate lawyer whose name alone makes seasoned executives sweat-fearless, sharp, impossible to intimidate. When fate drags her into his boardroom, Liam's billion-dollar empire becomes her biggest case-and her biggest test. Vale, the firm's legendary senior partner, makes it clear: if Mia can bend the unbreakable Liam Alcaraz, she'll earn her place as their youngest partner. But boardroom battles aren't the only sparks flying. Every heated exchange drips with the kind of tension that makes breathing difficult. Every glance lingers too long. Every accidental brush of skin threatens to reignite the wildfire they once swore to bury. Liam is determined to prove he's not the same man who broke her. Mia is determined to remind him she's not the same girl he left behind. But in a world where pride is power and desire is dangerous, old wounds reopen, truths shatter illusions, and the line between love and hate blurs until only one truth remains- Some temptations are impossible to resist. And some hearts never truly let go. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.
