Ambitious... Focused...charismatic...few words that accurately describe Adrienne Harper. A 25 year old who pays no mind to the romantic aspect of her life seeing as it looks like a disaster waiting to happen but then it's a smart thing to do, love is never really fair...and it has one simple rule...it always leaves someone emotionally bruised . With that mentality, she carries on with her day to day life but little does she know that somewhere within her grasp resides a man, Alexander Baxter. A business mogul who like her has chosen to abandon love and has the worst case of being a workaholic one could possibly imagine...if someone can be diagnosed with a case of being a workaholic then he definitely has it, with the way he handles things, it practically seems like an illness.
But then at the same time, life may seem to not be routing for them, tossing problems at them that they have to overcome to gain a little something called happiness. Life does not believe in handing you something on a silver platter and they learnt this the hard way. But then, what's love without tragedy?
The only thing that can keep them fighting for what they have is their Heart's Solemn Vows.

Astrid
Carter slowly walked towards me, butterflies swarming in my stomach, filling every inch of me. "Assi." he grabbed my wrists, and made me look at him. "Who was that song about?" "You know who." "Was it... about me?" "What would you say if it was?" I cocked my head to the side, our eyes staying connected with each other. "I wouldn't say." he moved closer to me, towering over by the slightest bit as his breath surrounded my every nerve. He leant down, took a sharp breath and connected our lips. - Astrid was a beautiful girl, who had lost her sense of who she was and where she belonged.

A BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE
Alexis Sanford was born into legacy, power, and expectation. As the only heir of Sanford Holdings-the multinational empire built by her grandfather and perfected by her father-she was raised to lead. When her father falls ill and steps down as CEO, Alexis takes the helm with precision, steel, and flawless control. Sanford Holdings is ready to expand into luxury hotels, but there's only one construction firm capable of bringing her vision to life: Luther Construction. And its infuriatingly confident heir, Danford Luther. Their history is anything but calm-sharp words, rivalry, and one unforgettable charity auction where Alexis lost to him in front of New York's elite. She swore she'd never work with him again. Yet business leaves no room for pride. Forced into partnership, the two collide in boardrooms, negotiations, and site meetings-sparking a tension that is as heated as it is undeniable. But beneath Alexis's iron exterior is a heart she guards fiercely, and beneath Danford's cool arrogance is a man who sees her-truly and completely. One business trip changes everything. One shared night-not passion, but peace. One kiss that ends years of denial. Soon, New York is whispering. The families are celebrating. The media crowns them the new power couple. But power attracts enemies. When a rival corporation launches a quiet but devastating sabotage against the Sanford-Luther alliance, the empire they built together begins to tremble. Rumors spread. Stock shifts. Trust is tested. And just when Alexis lets herself believe she has finally found someone who chooses her-not her name... A secret surfaces. One that Danford never meant for her to see. A truth that threatens everything- the business, the partnership, and the love growing between them.Complete

A 22 year old college student who was not only financially struggling, she was emotionally struggling too, a girl with no friends other than her novels and thoughts which unfortunately did not make for good company.

She was drowning, sinking so damn low, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to swim back up anymore. That is until she's paired up with her antithesis, Karsen Krist, for an assignment that will cost them most of their grade in their final year of college. Unlike Adrienne, Karsen was rich, happy, the college's star football player who as she spends more time with realizes is not as horrible as she thought he'd be, and actually, is just as human as she is. Except that he is much too talkative, too flirty, too smart, too sweet and unfortunately, a little too... desirable. But when you've been in a box so long, it becomes your new home, whether it's comfortable or not. Will he be able to get her out of that box? Or will all their potential end up going in vain? *** #1 in books #1 in art #1 in reversegrumpyxsunshine #1 in collegeromance #1 in player #1 in forcedproximity #1 in flirty #1 in grumpygirl #1 in project #1 in opposites #1 in growth
