architect boss boy boyfriend businesswoman chicklit contract date debt dream fake friends girl lawyer party promotion

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?

The Perks Of Falling For Your Bestfriend✔ by Anamtaa

"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -Pride and Prejudice. -Jane Austen. Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life. What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both. Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible. Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead. Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters. Highest Ranking: 30, 35, 50 in teen fiction. 32, 66 in ChickLit. 46, 47, 78 in humor.

Her stunning features and natural charm have made all the boys flock at her feet and all the other girls hate her. She's that girl who'll steal your date and make your boyfriend's eyes stray. But here's a secret - Jasmine is not the consummate flirt everyone believes her to be. All the guys she dates only see her as a challenge and not as girlfriend material.

Sebastian is the friendly guy-next-door (with six-pack abs!) who's just too good to be true. And for the first time in her life, Jasmine feels like she can be herself around someone. No games. No pretenses. As they spend more time together, Jasmine thinks that maybe, just maybe, she's starting to catch feelings for him. Can Jasmine let go of her player persona and finally open her heart?

NOT ROYALE ENOUGH [18+] by whathepeach

It was like every nerve in my body had come alive, every inch of me buzzing, aching for something more. I could feel his chest brush against mine with every shallow breath I took, and the way he whispered made my legs weak. That voice-dark, smooth-was quickly becoming my favorite sound. I swallowed hard, my head spinning. "Chris..." He leaned in, his lips so close they almost touched mine, his breath hot against my skin. "What's a mistake, Sarah?" I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. Every Word I had planned, every but of resolve I thought I had, shattered under the weight of his gaze. This was wrong. I knew it. But I didn't want him to stop. Not now. ***** 25 year old Sarah Wayne has debts, a lot of it probably because her father owns a lot of people leaving her to help him even though they lost touch.

If only it was an Illusion! by Aafrynn

"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living. She's blunt, She's sensitive but she is also accompanied by two of her best friends in this story: Gina Sullivan and Francis Rutherfold. The enterprise which she works in is different, very different. In fact, the 'CEO' is not just another Happy go lucky male lead of the company. Aaron Reynolds- Rude, Arrogant, Harsh, and Stubborn. He's what they call an eccedentesiast. They say that a person who defines negative adjectives has a lot more inside them, the darkness in that person may overrule all the Positiveness. Well, with Aaron, it's hard to say. But...What if Amanda already had a face-off with 'The CEO' before working in his firm? What if she had already drawn a thick line of hate? What if egos of the same level collide? What then? True Love? More like an illusion! An illusion that poses a life threat. An illusion with the ability to make you believe in non-existent things such as; fairies, demons, fate, and even destiny! Ironic is it not? What we as humans happen to rely on.

Highschool Sweethearts by K-good

Katelyn has been in and out of the foster system since her mother died when she was young. After her father gets put in jail again, she gets sent to live with the Thomas family. The Thomas's are a very well-off family with four boys. Their house is usually the main hangout for the boys and their friends. Kate hasn't ever lived with siblings before, let alone this many boys, so it's a big change for her. Daniel is your typical high school football player; he's got the looks, the muscles, talent, and even the overbearing dad who wants him to go pro. Daniel, however, really couldn't care less about a career in football, he loves the game, but it's his dad's dream for him to go pro, not his own. At least not anymore. He spends most of his free time away from his house and hanging out at either the Thomas or the Copperfield house. He can't wait to go off to college with his friends and get away from his dad and the stupid little town he grew up in. How will things change for them over the next year? This will be a series of 4, but the other books will be spin-offs and can be read as stand-alone books. They will, however, be published in chronological order. Full warning, this book is much shorter than I intend on making the spin-offs. I was planning on writing book two as the first in the series but found myself needing more of a prequel to all three other books, and so I chose to write something from their high school years. Bonus points for giving Daniel a love interest that was more than just a name.
