But the plan begins to unravel when she discovers her pretend partner Jake Parker is, in fact, the very businessman (known as the "Jackal") threatening to take over her company.

The Vintage kind by shahmainemukutirwa

He's her best friend's father. She's half his age. But some stories aren't meant to age quietly. Leo is a 50-year-old vineyard millionaire-divorced, emotionally reserved, and untouched by love since his ex-wife Miriam walked away a decade ago. Until Nadia shows up-23, fiery, fragile, and Grace's best friend. When Nadia gets stood up by her toxic boyfriend Tendai, she runs straight to Grace's house-and unknowingly into the Mhandu family's quiet, golden chaos. Grace, ever the schemer, knows her father is lonely. And she knows her best friend deserves better. So she pulls the strings in the background and sets up the most unexpected slow-burn romance of the year. What begins as a fake sugar baby act to escape a blind date turns into late-night vineyard walks, viral photos in vintage red dresses, soft confessions, and a kiss that changes everything. But Leo is terrified-of the age gap, of judgment, of loving someone so wildly unexpected. And Nadia? She's scared too. Of leaving behind a broken past. Of trusting someone who could actually treat her right. Of falling for the one man she's not supposed to want. One daughter. One red dress. One scandalous love story. Because sometimes the most controversial things... are also the most real. The Vintage Kind is a slow-burn, age-gap romance full of heart, secrets, and a love so unexpected, it tastes like something aged to perfection.

Assassin Love ✓ by sihle0071

[COMPLETE.] Going to war with your dad's enemy seems chaotic. But when he asks you to pretend to love his enemy's son for information to help attack them is another type of chaos. The catch is, you can't fall for his son because it isn't apart of the deal. But love has a funny way of doing the opposite of what the world tells you to do. "Would you do it for me?" I ask. "Sure, anything for my lawyer and I understand why you are mad, I would too after being disrespected in that manner." he answers and I chuckle. "Ooh, now I have an overprotective client, lucky me." He chuckles. "Very lucky phela I'm supposed to hate you." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Nothing let's leave it." "Okay." Please don't tell me he has already figured it out.
