WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. IT SUCKS. A LOT AND ALL YOU WILL WANT TO DO IS THROW YOUR DEVICE ACROSS THE ROOM AND MAKE THIS BOOK DISAPPEAR FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH. SO PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. It was written when I was a cheesy stupid person and didn't know one thing about romance or love. Get ready for some stupid, dumb cliche moments and too many spelling mistakes and bad grammar. - What is the best yet worst thing a guy could tell you to do when you dent his car? To be his fake girlfriend of course, And that's exactly what happened with me. - Skylar Glenn had just crashed her car into a Maybach Landaulet. The owner of this car (which costed atleast $1.3million) was none other than Zylen Wills. Zylen Wills was 'the' guy of the school. All he cared actually was about his car. Skylar just made a huge dent on his 'baby'. Zylen asks Skylar to pay him five hundred thousand dollars ( which she obviously cannot afford.) - He gives her one more choice. To be his girlfriend. (Thank you so much for clicking on this book. This is my first time ever so there are a few errors. Hope you like it!) -

"I know you need someone to teach you basketball," he started, only confusing me further, "so I'm yours for now, if you'll be mine for a year."

When she's forced to write a sports novel, she's stuck... until she meets Austin Hames, a charming basketball star. Austin needs a girlfriend to secure his CEO position, and Kim needs his sports expertise. They agree to a mutually beneficial deal: Austin will help Kim with her novel, and she'll pretend to be his girlfriend for a year. Surely that can't be that bad, right? But that seems unlikely when things start to get heated between them. As they spend more time together, questions that shouldn't be starts popping up, things like... Will they leave after the one year? Or would their fake relationship turn into real love...

Cali Wilson desperately needs money. She had her father's gigantic gambling debt and 4 months overdue rent to pay.

Born with the brains, the looks, and the money- he was the total package. Except there was one problem: his personality. Not only was he rude, self-centered and arrogant, he also had an extremely short temper. Employees were fired for little things like being a minute late to a tiny typo in a report. Everyone in the company knew about his horrible personality and avoided him as if he was the devil himself. When his personal secretary is fired for the 3rd time that month and nobody wanted to be the replacement, the Human Resources department had no choice but to give an outrageous offer just to get someone on the job as soon as possible. What will happen when these two are brought together? #3 in Romance [05.03.16] **warning- this story was one of the first ones I've ever written on Wattpad so there is a lot of room for improvements

**WATTPAD & INKITT ARE MY ONLY PUBLISHING PLATFORMS. IF YOU SEE MY BOOKS ANYWHERE ELSE, PLEASE REPORT THEM!!** Savannah Marshall was a kind loving person who would do anything for anyone. But when the one person she wished never to see again begs her in the middle of the street like a maniac for her help, as much as she wanted to refuse, she would rather save herself from the public embarrassment and had no choice to shut him up and agree. Hayes Calloway, Savannah's ex boyfriend needed her help in helping saving his company, Calloway & Sons Enterprise's. A company that had been passed down through the family for many generations. Even at the age of 25, his father thought he was too immature and not ready to take on such a big role in managing a whole company on his own, as all he would do is sleep around and never settle down with the right woman like his mother had wished. So until he was able to prove to them he was more than capable than being mature and standing to completely fulfil his role, his parents, more so his father, threatened to put him on suspension from the company. For this happening, Hayes turns to an old "friend" and the amounts of begging Hayes laid on Savannah, she agrees and helps him out. But what happens when old feelings return and connections reignite? Are they able to maintain themselves from another heartbreak? Do they get that happy ending they both wished for? Can they restore what they had and get closure? Or does it all come crashing down in the end? Take a look into the lives of Hayes and Savannah to uncover hidden truths, mixed emotions and a whirlwind of dramatic events.

His Fake fiancé by letsomebodygo15
50 parts Complete Mature
Needs to be heavily edited lmao (first wrote when I was like 15) Now, I'm alone with the beast . He stares into my soul causing me to gulp. "You're going to do something for me." He rounds his desk, coming to a stop in front of me. His body towering over my seated self. I look forward facing his crotch, the bulge in his pants making itself known. I make eye contact with him, an evil smirk, he says one word, "suck." .... Grayson Black is the definition of playboy. Unfortunately when owning a large and successful company, image matters especially when your only 27, so he decided to 'commit' himself to a relationship to prove that he's changed his ways. Except the woman he 'commits' himself to is his assistant. When feelings begin to grow on one end and there's a secret surprise on the way, what happens? #15 in romance #1 in employee #2 CEO #1 baby #1 fake love #1 in love life
Pretending with the Billionaire by ScarlettRossi2024
5 parts Complete Mature
Ethan chuckled to himself and ran his fingers through my hair. Electricity ran up my spine as I tried not to react to how good it felt. "God, you're cute." He said. He leaned in and kissed me on the lips. I kissed him back, and we lingered in our embrace for a moment before pulling away. I could see something was shifting, was he holding me? What were these feelings brewing inside of me? I told myself not to take them too seriously. "You're pretending." I whispered to myself. "None of this is real." - The offer was simple: one million dollars to pretend to be his girlfriend, then his fiance, in a space of six months. Everything she wanted was going to be at the tip of her fingers, including, maybe, making her best friend Jake a tiny bit jealous. What could go wrong? Everything, absolutely everything. And they both wanted it.
