Nearing her 28th birthday, Audrey has reached a point in her life where she is tired of going-nowhere relationships and regretful one-night stands. Logan 34, is in the same boat, and after his most recent wild night out cost him an amazing opportunity to grow his business, he too is ready to give up the party scene and his bachelor lifestyle in his first real attempt to settle down. A chance encounter at the local grocery store brings Audrey and Logan together, and after agreeing to a single date, the highly independent pair, nervously go out for a much-needed attempt at a Fresh Start. 

It quickly becomes apparent however, that the façade of pretending to be something they are not can only last for so long before they ultimately give in to their most primal urges. As drama with their friends ensue, Logan struggles to stay focused on Audrey and when presented with an unexpected opportunity, Logan is forced to decide what's more important, building his relationship with Audrey, or building his business.

❦ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇᴅ❦ "Why on earth would I stalk you?" He cocks a brow at me. This cocky fucker. "How would I know?" This conversation is getting nowhere. It only exhausted and annoyed me. "You should have checked the road properly before exhibiting the activity you were doing." His conceited tone and expression gives out no apologetic form. The nerves of this guy. "You should be the one apologizing for almost making me a murderer." He gestures his fingers to me. I scoff sarcastically. I'm not gonna give him the satisfaction of letting his words anger me any further and cause an unnecessary reaction. "You know what? I was actually thinking you'll be at least decent enough to apologise but I was wrong." I state calmly to him with a shrug. He doesn't reply but a flash of hurt runs through his eyes. I had nothing more to say. I turn around and started making my way back to my car. I don't spare him another glance before pulling out of the driveway. He may look like a forbidden creature, that can cause unholy thoughts to occur in someone's mind and body but I feel no effect, cause he's a total asshole. I guess people here are not as nice as I thought. ~~~~~~~~~~ After Skylar decided to start off on her own with the intention of leaving everything behind and starting over, she had no idea that decision will come with too many surprises. Not only did she begin reliving her past, but she comes face to face with it when she met Weston Whyte. •Ranks• #1 in Sumt #1 in Amusement #1 in Past-trauma #1 in Skylar #1 in Rider #1 in Adult-content #2 in Cheesecake #3 in Strangers to lovers

Valentine's Dinner?

73 parts Complete Mature

Two reclusive people meet in a charity soup kitchen in a down-and-out area of London, and their mutual attraction tempts them to follow their hearts. Both know that breaking out of their social shells risks revisiting buried traumas, but it might relieve their loneliness. Valerie has been celibate since she was drugged and raped, and she now concentrates on three things - running her corporate empire, maintaining a low profile and guiding her inquisitive daughter through puberty. Lorne is still grieving a fiancée who died years before, but when he meets Valerie, his dormant desires waken. With little information beyond her first name, he takes a bold step and invites her to Valentine's Day dinner. Their relationship escalates with blinding speed and all the comforts of a billionaire lifestyle, but the bliss is interrupted by a smear campaign on social media. Valerie's rapist is out of prison and looking for revenge. She wants to crawl back into her shell, but Lorne's love and acceptance continue drawing her out. Though dark aspects are threaded through the story's background, the overbearing theme is a lighthearted and feel-good romance. _____________________________________________________________________________________ I portray the wealthy lifestyle and all its appurtenances through experience, having made my first million in the 1980s when that small amount could still buy something.
