She's the boss. In every way that matters.
Veronica Knight built her empire from the ground up - ruthless, brilliant, and untouchable. As CEO of her own company, she doesn't have time for distractions, relationships, or anyone who can't keep up. Love? Not on her schedule. Feelings? She buries them deeper than her competition.
Enter Lucas: charming, sharp-witted, and freshly hired as her new assistant.
He's everything she never asked for - and everything she didn't know she needed. He's drawn to her fire, her power, her unapologetic dominance. And he's not afraid to challenge her... or chase her.
She's used to being in control. He's not used to taking orders.
But opposites don't just attract - they combust.
In a world where she's the one calling the shots, can Veronica risk losing control to a man who might just be her match?

𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 || ✍︎︎
𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 built herself out of glass and fire, sharp enough to cut, bright enough to be seen. Once the head of a rising empire, she now wakes to find her name stripped from the company she created, her life reduced to contracts and control she never agreed to. But she doesn't break; she plots. Every breath becomes strategy, every silence a step toward taking back what's hers. The only problem is the man standing in her way, the same one she can't seem to stay away from. 𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈 learned early that love was a weapon and obedience the price of survival. Behind his charm lies temper, behind his control lies ruin. He's the son of a man who built kingdoms on blood, and he's spent his life trying not to become him. But when she enters his world, she threatens everything he thinks he understands about power, loyalty, and the quiet hunger he can't seem to kill. ꨄ -#1 in #billionare - 22/08/23 -#3 in #storytelling -14/11/23 -#1 in #girlboss - 06/11/23 -#1 in #stalker - 08/11/23 -#5 in #daddyissues - 21/02/24 -#5 in #arrangedmarriage - 04/07/24
Rich People Problems
As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.

Fractured Ice
She was soft, silent, and too scared to look anyone in the eyes. She was sharp, untouchable, and ruled a city from behind glass walls. Hazel Monroe never expected to land a job as the assistant to Evelyn Crest - the coldest, most terrifying CEO in the city. Hazel is chubby, quiet, and constantly second-guessing herself. Evelyn is rich, ruthless, and doesn't tolerate mistakes. Their first meeting is a disaster. Their second is worse. But when spilled coffee, drunken nights, and locked stares begin to blur the lines between hate and hunger, Hazel discovers there's more to Evelyn than ice - and Evelyn finds herself drawn to softness in ways she never expected. What begins as a strict professional arrangement slowly melts into something dangerous, intoxicating, and forbidden. She's never been touched like this. She's never wanted to dominate someone so soft. And neither of them is ready for what happens when fire meets frost.
The CEO's Counsel
Avery Campbell has built her reputation on professionalism, precision, and keeping her emotions locked away. As head of the legal department at Cross Reality & Industries, she's the right hand to the company's brilliant, impossibly handsome CEO, Elijah Cross - and the keeper of a dangerous secret. She's been in love with him for years. Elijah is everything Avery shouldn't want - powerful, engaged, and completely off-limits. His fiancée, socialite and influencer Sienna Hart, has the world fooled with her perfect smile... but behind closed doors, her claws come out. Everyone in the company knows she's toxic - everyone except Elijah. When a high-stakes merger forces late nights, whispered conversations, and unguarded moments, the line between loyalty and longing begins to blur. Avery can't ignore the heat simmering beneath the surface - or the way Elijah's eyes linger a little too long. But secrets can only stay buried for so long. As betrayal, passion, and power collide, Avery must decide whether risking everything - her career, her heart, and Elijah's future - is worth one forbidden taste of the man she's always loved.Complete
