Pretending with the Billionaire
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.Complete

Marriage. Displayed to be the most perfect thing, but can have its faults at times. Roman and Alaiya seem to be learning more about that every day. They're learning to grow as people, not just together, but also by themselves. Yes, things get hard, but will Roman and Alaiya's love be strong enough to survive through those hardships? ***This is a sequel into Roman and Alaiya's relationship. I would not recommend reading this unless you have already read Worse for Better. ~~~~ "Thank you for the best birthday present." I give him a confused look. "But I didn't get you anything." Maybe he forgot that he put a rule against me buying him literally anything or else he would toss me to Canada. His words, not mine. "You buying me a private jet or some shit like that isn't the same thing as you giving me the chance to fall in love with you all over again every time we get moments like these." He makes direct eye contact when he says that, meaning he actually feels that way, meaning I'm about to start crying any second now.Complete
Just For Show Girlfriend
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!) -Complete
