The Last Resort by Shritzy
49 parts Complete Mature
Lena Carver has everything under control-except her dream. As the no-nonsense manager of Rosebay Resort, one of the crown jewels in the Sinclair Hotels empire, Lena has dedicated the past six years to keeping five-star chaos in check. Between demanding guests, last-minute weddings, and her spirited four-year-old niece she's helping raise, Lena's got zero time for distractions-especially not the high-heeled, high-maintenance kind. Enter Avery Sinclair. She's the hotel chain's heiress and a walking HR warning with a trust fund and something to prove. After being sent to "oversee" Rosebay-aka get exiled from corporate HQ-Avery is determined to turn the location into the most profitable in the company. Her plan is simple: maximize revenue, impress Daddy, and earn the CEO title. Her plan does not include clashing with the sarcastic, infuriatingly competent hotel manager who seems allergic to authority and perfectly capable of running the entire empire on her own. What starts as a battle of wills quickly spirals into something much messier: unexpected teamwork, flirty banter, steamy tension in the linen closet, and the kind of feelings that don't come with a corporate playbook. In a place where professionalism is key and romance is strictly off the clock, falling in love might just be the biggest disaster of all. Welcome to The Last Resort-where ambition checks in, sparks fly, and hearts are the messiest rooms to clean.

The Little Matchmaker by Chenford419
28 parts Ongoing
Lauren never meant to draw attention in her new job. As a single mother, all she wanted was stability - a steady paycheck, quiet mornings, and a safe world for her little girl, Evie. Her new boss, Alexander Reid, is a 37-year-old CEO known for his precision and cold professionalism. His office is a place of glass walls, muted colors, and strict order. To him, emotion is a distraction - until a small crayon drawing appears on his desk one Monday morning. A messy little picture of "Mommy at Work," complete with sparkles and a smiling stick figure version of himself. At first, he's mildly annoyed - but when Lauren rushes in, embarrassed and apologizing for her daughter's "accident," something softens. He sees in her eyes the exhaustion, the grace, and the quiet strength of someone doing everything alone. Over time, the little drawings keep coming. Sometimes they're tucked into his planner. Sometimes Evie shyly waves at him when Lauren picks her up after work. Against all his instincts, Alexander finds himself smiling more, staying late not for business - but for the company. As Lauren's confidence grows and Alexander's walls start to crumble, the office becomes something warmer, livelier... more like home. But when whispers start spreading in the company and Lauren fears losing her job, the two must decide: protect their growing feelings, or risk it all for a chance at something real - a family neither of them expected.
