**Story Description: "The Price of Ambition"**

In the glittering underbelly of Las Vegas, Jazzy Harper transforms from a struggling prostitute into the owner of a multi-million-dollar brothel, The Golden Hour. With dreams of empowerment and wealth, she navigates the treacherous world of sex work, driven by ambition and the desire for a better life. However, as success comes at an increasingly high price, she finds herself entangled with dangerous crime syndicates and forced to confront the darker aspects of her empire.

As Jazzy's opulent lifestyle spirals out of control, she grapples with guilt and the exploitation of the women she once vowed to protect. Betrayal, addiction, and moral decay lead her to a devastating downfall, culminating in her arrest and the seizure of her empire. In prison, Jazzy reflects on the choices that led her astray, striving to reclaim her lost dreams and promising to use her experience to help others.

"The Price of Ambition" is a gritty exploration of power, greed, and the complexities of survival in a world where ambition can both elevate and destroy. Jazzy's journey serves as a cautionary tale about the seductive allure of wealth and the harsh reality of pursuing dreams without integrity.All Rights Reserved

The Strip by neonblonde1

Sienna Antoinette Harper had spent twelve years running from her past; now 28 she'd built up walls around her heart trying to keep people out and keep her heart hidden deep within. She'd even gone to court and changed her name legally. Somehow she had managed to straighten up her life enough to attend college and graduate at the top of her class in Accounting. And when her sister, who was also her best friend and works for Addison Technologies in Las Vegas, reaches out to Sienna letting her know that she'd secured an interview that would most certainly end up as a full time job. Little did Sienna know that her past and present would collide and perhaps endanger her future. Roan Michael Addison was a billionaire CEO of his own company Addison Technologies and owned one club on the Strip in Las Vegas. He was a workaholic and didn't have time for relationships. He never saw the same woman twice, he never treated them badly but they understood once they were with him that was it. Much to the chagrin of Roan's twin brother, Cade, who was totally different. He encouraged Roan to settle down but he just wasn't feeling it until she walked into the elevator at his company and then again at his club Leviathan one night and his feelings started to change rapidly. He didn't understand these feelings and tried to fight them. The harder he fought them the more he was pulled in especially when he found out that she not only worked at his company but was the best friend of his brother's fiance, Lisbeth. Would he be able to uncover what it was about her that pulled him in like a moth to a flame? Could he help her break down the walls she'd worked so desperately to construct? The names of the characters are purely fictional. The name of the company and nightclub are fictional as well. EDITING HAS BEGUN ON THIS STORY! PLEASE BE PATIENT AND I AM AWARE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE! THANK YOU!

Illicit ✔ by StephRose1201

**WATTPAD HQ EDITOR'S PICK Nov/Dec 2021** BOOK ONE in the STEAMY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE series Coralie Watson, a British thirty-year-old living in San Francisco, has a tormented past with men. Physical and mental abuse, abandonment issues, incompatibility--she feels like she just can't win, and constantly swears to herself that she'll remain single so she can focus on her burgeoning singing/songwriting career. After twelve years in the United States, she often regrets leaving London, her friends, her habits, and dreams of what life might have been like had she not moved. As she slowly settles into a new routine--and has, so far, kept her vow to stay celibate--her past refuses to give her a break. As she reencounters a former boss she'd had a crush on, someone else resurfaces into her life after many years of silence--a boy she met at fifteen, that she'd had deep feelings for. But now he's all grown-up and irresistibly handsome. She always considered him the "one that got away", and is shocked when he confesses he feels the same way about her. The problem? He's a successful business man who can't afford a scandal, he's married to a supermodel wife, and has two beautiful daughters. Yet none of that seems to stop him from making Coralie promise that next time she's in London, they need to meet and catch up... What's the harm in that? ♥♥♥ This is a work of FICTION. It will have fairly explicit language & sexual content (but I'll put warnings at the top of those chapters, in case those make you uncomfortable--though, hey, YOU CAME HERE FOR THAT, DIDN'T YOU?!)
