Billionaires Don't Fall in Love
When Athena Solana and Tobias Landon were forced into an arranged marriage, chaos was inevitable. They barely knew each other, aside from the fact that they both came from old money and even older expectations. Tobias was defiant by nature. Marriage was never part of his plan. As the CEO of his father's empire, he had it all: wealth, women, and complete freedom. But the one condition tied to his luxurious lifestyle? Marry Athena. Athena was grace wrapped in gold. Kind-hearted and composed, she was everything Tobias wasn't. And yet, neither of them wanted this union. To them, love was a fantasy, and marriage was just another business transaction, especially in their world, where billionaires married for power, not passion. But as love, loyalty, and legacy collide, buried truths rise to the surface and threaten to change everything they thought they knew. Trigger Warning ⚠️ this book contains talks of sexual assault and violence. Please read at caution.Complete

Marriage first, then love
He did not love her. It was a loveless marriage to him. In his eyes, she is just a burden who cooks food for him. And in return, he will earn money and place it in her bank account. But she fell for him the moment she had laid eyes on him. It was love at first sight. She would lovingly cook him breakfast, but he would not even glance at her in the morning. In attempts to get him to glance at her, she fooled and embarrassed herself in front of him. She was close to giving up. A small part of her had hoped someday he would change the way he views her. But the fragment of hope diminishes very quickly. Little did she know that one simple action will cause everything to change. That one day he going to start feeling something for her, when her heart is broken. That he is going to start feeling something for her, with a dark past. Will she have to continue to wonder whether it will always be a loveless marriage or a new journey where they fall in love with each other together instead of one-sided love. Will he be able to love her like she loves him? A/N: Probably cliché to some people, read with caution.Complete
Sincerely Yours
In 1800s England, a well-meaning but selfish young woman will do anything to avoid matrimony to the county's finest suitors and to justly prove she doesn't need a husband to find her way in society. Even under the peril of her uncle losing his property and business to debt. In all but two months, she must prove to her family she's more than capable without a husband and can, in fact, exceed society's expectations of the female sex. But what woman can write what she hardly knows of the world, and its secrets? And most of all, how far is she willing to prove herself toward society and the Lord? At what cost for love? Maxmillian Knightley has returned from university in London, now facing the looming title of marquis. With that title comes responsibility to interact with those he despises most, and with which he must fight for his inheritance. But how far will he go in order to grow favor in the scrutiny of society and his stiff-neck father? He may be everything a woman of the ton looks for in a husband - titled, wealthy, and cheek bones that can draw in any woman - but he is in no mood to humor eligible women by participating in all things reformed. The question is: how far will he go to do everything against his own sensibility and judgment? For inheritance ... or for loyalty and love? The only common enlightenment between two entirely different sexes? A fondness for penmanship and our humorous Lord who writes the very novelty of life itself. And what happens if proving oneself leads to something quite worse? When it comes to love, making the right choices, these two are their own worst enemies.
