Blood Diamonds by Seth_Stevens

Leila, an escort catering to high-end clients in the seedy carnival of Carnival City, is looking for her rich 'prince charming' to whisk her away to a better life. One night, from a random stroke of luck, she meets the dashing Rodney Smith who instantly becomes smitten with her and makes all her dreams come true. Henry is an equally dashing and charismatic socialite and aspiring politician enjoying the spoils of upper society. When Leila and Henry meet at a grand charity event, the pair fall in love and Leila is forced to re-evaluate her life of gold-digging luxury. But sinister and deadly events soon begin to unfold, causing Leila to doubt her own sanity and the world in which she has thrown herself into. Will her new family let her go that easily so that she may pursue the whirlwind romance she longs for? And is a life of lavishness worth the terror that ensues? For nothing is really as it seems in the upper echelons of society, and no one can really be trusted...

Ironically, for someone named after the jolly emotion, Joy is quite sad. But justifiably, she hasn't really had much reason to squeal in happiness these days. Stuck in a job she hates with responsibilities so paramount she feels asphyxiated on a good day, happiness is so far out of reach it's basically unattainable. Little does she know, Daniel Maranzano has decided to dedicate his life to making her smile.

Oops, I'm a Teenager Again? by Honeypie222

Leila Bowen, 27, is done with adulthood-heartbreak, and the existential dread of it all. She wishes she could just be 17 again-no stress, no drama. Then poof-she wakes up 17. Again. But there's a catch: her 27-year-old mind is stuck in her teenage body, and high school is exactly as awkward as she remembers. Enter Matthew Corbin-ridiculously hot, impossibly familiar, and someone Leila's pretty sure she's never met before. Being 17 again? Yeah, it's not as fun as it sounds-especially when you have the maturity of an adult but the social skills of a 17-year-old. Oops.

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." 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. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused. "Working with my new boss is going to be a piece of work." ** Synopsis: When the CEO of Signature Heights: Jensen Black, and a stubborn employee: Alexandra Brook, clash, it's a battle of wits & a war of perseverance.
