Adriana and Charlotte Lancaster have been orphans for the past five years. They were supposed to be sent to a group home but Adriana feared being separated from her sister, so instead, she got a stable job that would allow her to emancipate herself and get custody of her 13-year-old sister. Adriana accomplished this on her own at the age of 17 with no one but her sister by her side. After getting emancipated and custody of her sister she balanced work, studying, and taking care of a 13-year-old as if she was the parent. This left her with no time for her to mourn her parent's absence properly or for her to develop a life of her own. 

Now 21-year-old Adriana is struggling to keep rebellious Charlotte under control, keeping her well-paying job, and holding back from feeling anything for any man. She knows she can't keep a relationship when she is the guardian of a troublesome teenager. But when she collapses in the arms of the CEO's son she can't help but feel an instant connection. That scares Adriana, especially since she'll be working for him in a couple of months. The handsome young man will be taking over as his father retires, meaning Adriana will be his secretary.

Evan Adams is the son of a powerful CEO, he will be taking his father's place in a matter of months. The 25-year-old isn't sure he's ready to take on all that responsibility at once, he wishes to enjoy life for a while longer. He wants to enjoy going partying and clubbing for just a little more. He wants to play around without work getting in the way, or anything else for that matter.

But what happens when Adriana Lancaster, who's always had responsibility and committed to everything but men, falls into the arms of Evan Adams, who has never known much responsibility til now and only knows how to mess around with women? Can Adriana hold back having feelings for Evan just like she has for every other man that has tried being in her life? Or will she allow him to love her?

Conflicting Love by rosieredness

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "I'm good at other things too, sweetheart," His voice was gruff and husky, my lips unconsciously parting in a daze. He's standing dangerously close to me, trapping me between him and my cupboards. The tension is suffocating and thick, my brain seemingly unable to produce simple words for a slight second. But the seduction emerges after a moment, "I think you're just egotistical." It comes out as a whisper and my lips teasingly curl into a small, challenging smile. He quirks his brows at this, setting the glass down with a clink and placing both of his hands on either side of me. "I'm happy to show you." *** Adaline Berkeley is a twenty-three year old, young divorcee, recently catching her husband's infidelity. As the relationship tarnishes, she finds herself reliving her feelings and progressing in her practice of marriage counseling. Upon heeding her clients and remembering the diligence a relationship takes, she aims to be single for a while, not taking interest in other men. Jack Westbrook is a thirty-three year old business owner, striving to expand his work. He's charming, alluring, and charismatic, possessing qualities Adaline does not. Consequently, he's captivated by Adaline and insists on pursuing her, unaware of her previous situation. Is Adaline ready to trust someone again? What will Jack think about her previous relationship? Will her ex win her back? (this is personally my fav story that i've wrote)

Pain And Pleasure 18+✓ by Geegervy

Fifty thousand dollars in exchange for three weeks of sheer commitment and consented submission. It was a simple proposal from the employer to an employee until feelings got in the way. Being a college student and the legal guardian of her two siblings, Arabella Lincoln has a lot on her plate. Money has always been the issue; more bills and expenses every single day, with only meagre part-time wages to cover it all. It was supposed to be pure business with no strings attached; do what he says, and get paid in the end. That was the agreement, and Arabella knew it was like a road to her way home. But what if there's more to him than he lets on? What if each layer she peels off renders her tied to his myriad shades of mystery pulling her closer like a super magnet? He's like a tornado, wrecking her up. But then he's like a touch of sun, thawing the frozen river in her after a long excruciating winter. Drawn to her world of normalcy and simple joy he never knew existed, Adrian Castle discovers more about himself, about her, and letting go becomes more painful than anything he's ever felt in his entire existence. But business is business. He needs to walk away when the deal is done. He's the last person to provide her the love and security she deserves. He's the danger. Will he let her in knowing full well that she doesn't belong to his world full of darkness? The world he so badly tried to escape.

Trapped In Love ✓ by StellaAdamsHere

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*

Rich People Problems by treeziaa

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.

When she feared for the worst and all was lost, she met Rivera Douglas, which was her doctor at Newtons Hospital, where her parents decided that it should be her permanent one, seeing how they liked what they saw and everyone was just good there, and the atmosphere wasn't all that dull, it was always lively, despite it being a hospital at all.
