Kate Palmer is not your typical twenty-seven year old woman. Being a junior partner at the reputable law firm 'Reginald & Scott' means she's one of the best at what she does, and her list of successful cases for prestigious clients couldn't agree more. However, it means she rarely chooses to make time for a personal life, which is what evidently causes her to miss out on being put forward for a promotion to become a senior partner.. Or does it? As a workaholic who's barely had much of a social life since she graduated, she is forced to come up with an elaborate plan in order to not only prove her colleagues wrong, but to stand a chance at getting what she wants - being promoted.
Cue Christopher Green who is approached to become her fake boyfriend for the next couple of months, in return for the money needed to start his own business. With him being a debt-ridden architect pursuing his dream, he can't help but be tempted by Kate's offer - especially after having borrowed a lot from most banks and those closest to him. As the bank loan rejection letters stack up, he's torn between his pride and his dream. But once he reluctantly agrees, he is left doubting his decision as soon as he realises the type of life he's gotten himself involved in.
With both of them seeing this opportunity as a way to get what they want, what happens when you add an unexpected child, a family reunion and an ultimatum into the mix? Does it all become too much, or does it still proceed as planned?

On the run
Penelope Cooper is not who she appears to be to everyone in her life. 4 years ago, in the middle of nowhere, she set her life down a new path. With her phone being thrown into a field, one terrifying phone call, she was officially on the run. In one of the biggest cities in the world, 2 hours away from where she was expected to be, Penelope changed her hair, her personality and the name everyone knew her by. One god forsaken day, the office she has worked at for 3 years is sold. Alexander Seagrave was not what Penny was expecting that Friday afternoon, nor was it a change she would be excited to see. But when Alex sets his sights on his quiet, nervous PA, he finds there's a lot more under the surface than he initially thought. The fear in her eyes was just the beginning and with one crazy late night visit, everything changes. ~~ "I'm keeping some of my secrets." "Your entire life is a secret Poppy and the more I find out about you the more I am completely floored." "Well stay on the floor because I'm not telling you another thing." ~~Lengkap
Charlie's Web (A Romantic Comedy)
"We met earlier, kind of," he smiled at her. "I'm Jake." "H-hi!" How had she missed him before? He was delightful. Dark blond hair, slate grey eyes . . . and oh my goodness, that smile!!! To be fair, back in the bar, all of their faces had been merging together, but now she was a bit more with it, she could see this guy was pretty much perfection. What a shame she was getting married . . . No, wait, she wasn't. But he thought she was. And yet here he was, apparently interested. Time to see how this one played out . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Charlotte Tyler has a theory - when it comes to girls, all guys want what they can't have. The fact her colleague Aaron flirted with her constantly while she was in a relationship and lost interest the second she was single has in no way disproved this theory. And so her best friend Thea comes up with a way to test this further - if Charlie stages her own hen night, will she manage to hook an unsuspecting guy? Despite being technically off-the-market? It seems like a crazy idea. But the plan, surprisingly, is a resounding success, and Charlie actually meets and starts to fall for someone as a result. But with an imaginary fiance and an upcoming fictional wedding to juggle, her lies are starting to spin out of control. Is this what she really wants?Lengkap![NOT ROYALE ENOUGH [18+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/358790625-256-k677469.jpg)

The Darker Exterior
Aurelia Vidal took a job as a secretary for the head office of a company known across the country for lavish dinner parties, wine bottles worth thousands, and cuisine tailored to individual wishes, hoping to achieve the same for her future. For years, Aurelia took pride in her job, living her life as aspirant as possible, trying to create a small glimmer of joy in her coworkers' daily lives. Her almost Naive outlook on life has done her more than a few favors, which in her opinion, outweighed the negatives. But her naivety and optimism have been slowly diminishing under the iron-clad hammer her boss, Ford Madison, wields, cowering the goodness in her heart, with the intent to break her down until she becomes yet another corporate slave, wasting her days on a 9 to 5 she hates; well, that's from her point of view. As she feels she will hit her limit, a dark--much older-- stranger approaches her, offering her a gentle kindness she had only been offered once upon a dream, ready to pull her from her dark wasteland of a mindset and show her what she is truly worth. *************** (warning, there will be no individual trigger warnings, but this book will contain many triggering materials, including other mature content as well) Also, haha, warning, DADDY ISSUES And no, the Atticus in this book is not the same as the one from my other book, 'the shy one' I promise they are unrelated, I just have an over-the-top obsession with the name.
