Startled eyes turn to face me, and my mind confirms what my heart already knows. I would recognize those gentle green eyes, dark eyebrows, the strong chin covered in sexy scruff and shaggy mane anywhere. Isaac's back in town. He is just as beautiful to me now as he was all those years ago. If anything, time has improved him. Last I heard, he started a nonprofit to build schools in Africa. Why has he finally come back after all this time? 

We are locked in a stare that seems to transport us to another place and time, until at last, his gaze breaks away.

______________

Beth Malcolm is pinning all her hopes on winning the Next Big Thing competition that will not only launch her business, but help her save her beloved family home. Things quickly become complicated when the business mentor assigned to her turns out to be her exfiance. Loosely based Jane Austen's story, "Restless Hope" is a modern Persuasion meets Shark Tank.

The Marriage Contract by blue0704

"How can we use non consummation of marriage as a reason for our divorce with your looks?" he asked. It took her awhile to respond. "I don't know. Maybe declare that you are gay?" She answered, a serious look on her face. "What?!!" His booming voice erupted like a volcano. ________________________________ The plan was simple, fake a marriage contract with a fake name of a woman with all her fake data including birthday and pass it as an authentic. But what will happen if the fake woman with a fake data on his fake marriage contract is actually a real person and is asking for a divorce? ------------------------------------ This work is fiction, any resemblance to real person or place are purely coincidental.

Discover Love by Doodlly

Amelia was working in her dream job. Good job, good pay, and good boss! Then, something changes and life takes an unexpected turn. Welcome to the unpredictable journey of Amelia. Preview ******** "Don't provoke me Amy" He groaned, his eyes darting towards my lips. "ugh? Wha? - what did I do now?" I almost crocked as I wet my lips again. "This" He swooped down to capture my lips. It was not a gentle kiss. It was hard and passionate and I couldn't do anything but be melted. My core throbbed as my hands went around his neck to clench his hair. His heat engulfed me and just when I thought my knees will give away, suddenly everything went cold. "Wha-t huh?" A moment before we couldn't have enough of each other and now, he was standing away, near his huge window, staring at me. "Please leave Ms. Wilson" his voice was tart. I couldn't believe we were back to the last name basis. "How dare you?" I was furious. "Tone, Ms. Wilson" His lips were a thin line. "Then behave, Mr. Holden" I straightened my dress and hair and turned on my heel. *************************************************************************** Greetings, Thank you for giving this book a chance :) Please read, comment and hit the Star :) --Cover pic credit to squammie.wordpress.com/

Another Man's Treasure by Mechalen

"You've become so damaged that when someone tries to give you what you deserve, you have no idea how to respond." He says taking a step closer to me. I frown. "So, it's my fault? That I'm to blame for being damaged?" "No, it's not your fault at all, but it is your fault for believing you don't deserve better. That you don't deserve to be happy." Nathan looks away from my eyes, inhaling. "Maybe the little things that you consider your weakness are actually the things that people treasure most about you. Maybe you hate that you care too much...or that you wear your heart on your sleeve. But seriously, some people think that's the best damn thing about you. We all have different little things that make up who we are, we don't need to change those things, but we can choose who we share them with." "What are you saying?" Now so close to me, he places his palm on my cheek, and whispers. "You're treasure, Madison...I hope you realize that." ________ Nathan Lane a Billionaire heartthrob who has everything in his life.

Her Worthy Love by mysterysoul_

They say if you love someone truly, you will always find your way back to them, no matter what life throws at youu. As flashbacks came into view, Hayley tried her best to forget them and move forward but destiny had other plans for her when she met the love of her life but this time, it was much harder than before. ***** "Hayley run" I fell in the depths of death while he lay in my arms. With a peaceful look, eyes full of tears and a broken heart I kissed his forehead "you were, are and will be the best thing that ever happened to me" Then it was silent, all trace of laughter, happiness and love, disappeared and along with it, went the love of my life "Christian would have want you to live" Just as we parted ways the last time, I walked out without a word, without a single sound or mutter, only a single tear sliding down my cheek as I left him there, to die. Yet his soft rumbling voice whispered in the back of my mind, a phantom hand upon my shoulder "I love you" I realized our story wasn't a happy ending, because happy endings? Those never existed A few glimpses of the last chapter of book 1 to give you the ideaa. The new book brings even more trouble-intensity but most of all, even more love!
